This won't go to court. I'll get to the why in a minute. But since it won't, the preponderance of the evidence that supports the punishment will stand. That's because the preponderance of the evidence is a standard that was spelled out and agreed to by the owners and the players in the CBA. Talk about "only circumstantial evidence," and, "no concrete proof," linking Brady, etc. That's immaterial. This stuff will absolutely hold up and he won't get his suspension lowered more than likely.

As to why this won't go to Court, it's simple: That would open Brady up to a subpoena of his records like cell and e-mail. The Discovery process will destroy his case and potentially impact more than just himself.

He-and his team-want ZERO part of a courtroom for that very reason. In my view, this doesn't get drawn out too much because of those issues.

The penalties will stand. He may get a game shaved off. Two at most. But it won't go to Court.

It's all for show. Brady and Kraft posturing is to maintain the confidence of the Patriots fanbase.

People say this during every scandal. And in almost every scandal, the NFLPA comes out ahead

The penalty for ball tampering is also clearly stated in the CBA.
