Tom Brady - Page 14

shilala · 09-03-2015, 11:52 AM

I figured these guys would settle for 2 games. Huh.
There's a 40 page ruling on this, and the few findings I saw were just plain stupid on the NFL's part. They can appeal till the cows come home, it's unwinnable.

And by "just plain stupid", I mean the NFL wouldn't let Brady's lawyers depose a witness or share evidence.

Now, tell me this...
With all the lawyers at the NFL's disposal, they had to tell Goodell how this would play out if he didn't play ball.
It was unwinnable.
To me, it seems he played it that way on purpose. Almost had to. He is not a stupid man, not by a longshot.

Just another "keep the NFL in the spotlight in the offseason" contrived soap opera, if you ask me.

Interesting article in USA Today citing judge's verbiage in ruling.

Says:
"Brady had no notice that a “general awareness” of misconduct by others could lead to discipline."

Say what?

That means every high school and college as well as professional athletics program will necessarily need to revamp their rule books to include, "if you are dumb enough to get caught then there will be punishment commensurate with the degree of the cheating."

If they dont then it is proof that sportsmanship is dead and its all about the money.

I just give thanks that it's over. My wife worships Tom and is totally thrilled. I think if I had a Tom Brady mask on when she gets home I'd get lucky big time.

you are absolutely right with the spotlight on the offseason, you wouldn't even know we had three (four if you count soccer) sports teams in town by listening to the sports radio since this started.

Deflate the hate!

Brady and Patriots for Super Bowl champions again!!!! Yes!!!!!!!

His real punishment is having to throw properly inflated balls and watching them bounce off of his recievers hands as well as watching the running backs fumble at a rate closer to the league average, not the improbably low average they have had over the last 7 years.

Brady threw four TD's against the Steel Curtain.

If that's real punishment, give us more!

That's exactly why I don't understand the complete disdain for Goodell. NFL is national topic of conversation and/or news almost every day. We're still a week away from the first game of the season.....and all off-season we have NOT been talking about concussions or outrageous ticket prices.....or even wife beaters, child beaters or cell-mate killers. Seems to me he's getting the job done even if cheaters get away with one.

Preeeettty sure most people knew this was all a publicity sham. So what if this cost the NFL a couple million dollars? The league and ownership splits ~$9B annual revenue. I think once Brady was not afforded proper due process, everyone knew this was completely bullsht.

All Deflate-gate did was use a very public and well-liked figure, tack on an obviously ridiculous charge to troll people into following it, and watch people frustrate themselves over it; and most people did. NFL finally found a way to stay relevant through the dry summer months, Patriots made great sales of NEP products, and furthermore, Tom Brady may finally realize his political ambitions with this win. How was this not a win, win, win?

Absolutely no way Goodell wins this appeal. Zero. None.
There's no way for him to undo multiple screw-ups the NFL and their lawyers made in the legal process.
The only plea they can make is "we didn't really understand the law involved, and decided it best to ignore our lawyers".

I just want to make I follow this as I am slow.

So..........100% chance that there is a 0% probability of prevailing, 99.9% of the time?
