Tom Brady, NFLPA Granted 14-Day Extension To File Motion For Rehearing By Second Circuit Court

[Soul_Survivor88]

Is this a precursor to an en blanc appeal hearing?

So did the NFL* relent and allow the extension or did the NFL* get overruled?

How long before the *NFL appeals the decision to allow for a 14 day extension for the en blanc?

Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised.

I honestly do not know who decides whether or not to grant the extension, but it shows that the court does not consider this en banc appeal to be frivolous.

Why this helps Brady: Buys more time for 8th Circuit Peterson decision. If AP wins, Brady has better chance for en banc rehearing & SCOTUS.

Maybe they did this as a courtesy? Who knows. Not sure any of the judges actually ordered the extension - it may have been the clerk's office.

Courts almost always grant continuances, I don't think this is any big news, if they denied it, then that would have been bad

The court does but it takes the other sides attorney's opinion into consideration,these things are almost always granted with the other sides ok, the NFL are being aholes.

As per florio this is the norm. This has no bearing on en banc hearing being accepted.

Brady's all set. Kraft said he has his back.

When you are down 21-20 in the 4th qtr with 22 seconds left on your own 38yd line, all you need is a 1st down to then try and get the ball in FG range....

TB12 did just that.

 

[SVN]

Probably because clement and olson have 'sparred' before and clement has won ?

 

[The Gr8est]

Can the courts do this?

Goodell has already done his victory lap.

 

[Wheelman]

but but but...NYJFL* said it makes no sense....

 

[The Gr8est]

To use a football analogy, appropriately here, the NFL* was rushing to the line to try and snap the ball before the Pats can throw a challenge flag but the refs blew the whistle.
