re: Judge Berman throws out Brady suspension

Goodell will throw Troy Vincent under the bus

Sounds like a great idea.

So if an employee was wrongfully treated in the workplace, you would fire them for trying to stick up for themselves?

Patriots from the league for going to court over this.

Patriots didn't go to court over this

Did they stop Brady from going to court over this? Have they cut him for going to court over this?

Well Lester Munson said...

I found this that you posted in another thread:

Regarding the Tom Brady suspension, ESPN legal analyst Lester Munson has been lying or uninformed for more than three months now.

On May 17, five days after the NFL imposed a four-game banishment on Brady, Munson authored an item that declares there’s “not much hope” for Brady in his appeal. With a question-and-answer format to the column, Munson asked himself whether Brady can win a reduction in the suspension or eliminate it entirely.

“No,” Munson wrote. “The evidence gathered by attorney Ted Wells for the NFL’s investigation is clear and convincing. The text messages between Brady and two Patriots staffers, the disappearance of the Patriots’ footballs in the moments before kickoff, the history of similar incidents involving Brady and Brady’s stonewalling of the NFL investigators lead to only one conclusion: Brady was clearly involved in an effort to underinflate the footballs to give him a competitive edge.”

When the case moved from the internal appeal phase to the external litigation phase, Munson doubled down.

“Will Brady succeed in court and stop the NFL from suspending him for four games?” Munson asked himself. “No, Brady will not succeed,” Munson told himself. “Although he enjoys top-of-the-line legal representation and his lawyers will file a brilliantly written lawsuit, his effort to stop the suspension is doomed. There are two reasons why: First, federal judges are reluctant to reconsider the rulings of arbitrators; second, [Commissioner Roger] Goodell produced a decision on Brady that is brilliantly reasoned, meticulously detailed, and well-written. Goodell’s recitation of the evidence of the tampering with game balls is powerful, and his description of Brady’s attempt at a cover-up is persuasive.”

Of course, Munson’s second column came before the 456-page transcript of the appeal hearing was released, a transcript which reveals various flaws in the ruling, such as the failure to allow the NFLPA to call NFL general counsel Jeff Pash as a witness, the refusal to compel “independent” investigator Ted Wells to make his files available to the union, the mischaracterization of Tom Brady’s testimony regarding interactions with John Jastremski, the NFL’s lack of knowledge regarding the natural deflation of footballs in cold weather, and the failure of the league to give Brady the policy under which he was suspended. But none of that has changed Munson’s opinion. Two days after Judge Richard M. Berman aggressively questioned NFL lawyer Dan Nash regarding the flaws in the NFL’s case, Munson dismisses the interrogation and declares that “the NFL will win in the end.”

YESSSSSSS! GOAT IS BACK!!!!

Tommm

Goodell needs to be fired.
Losing Kraft will hurt big time.
His handling of discipline is laughable and the Saints got hammered for a leaguewide problem.

You keep saying the Patriots, they didn't have anything to do with this.

The NFL has to be the worst league in terms of actions that affect PR.

Once Brady came to the table willing to accept a 1 game suspension, the NFL should have dropped demands for admitting guilt and tried to get a 2 game suspension for withholding information with a caveat of no comment on the matter in the future from Brady.

That preserves the idea of punishing Brady for not cooperating/his dastardly deeds ( ) and makes the NFL look reasonable. Instead, they look like morons again.
