"no, his agent does...not eli. eli wasnt consulted"

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

I ain't buying that report. My gut tells me that Brady is not accepting any deal with the NFL that involves so much as a 1 game suspension. Of course my gut told me that getting married 28 years ago was a great idea

LOL ...

.......oooh,.......my bad,......the same agent that made him come to NY vs. going to S.D.......(His daddy/Archie)....?!

yup

but its 2 unrelated cases

if brady gets his suspension vacated, it has zero impact on kraft handing over those picks and that money.

again

that decision (to vacate) would have zero impact (again, that ruling) on what krafts already agreed to.

Right, Pat's are still out a 1st and 4th round pick no matter what happens to Brady. Still don't see how you consider that as winning. But for Brady's involvement in deflation of those footballs, Pat's would still have that 1st and 4th round exceptional WR/TE pick that Brady will never have chance to throw to.

"Thank gawd!" - those receivers

Great receivers like gold, Air Coryell think would back me.

IF (and that's far from certain) this goes all Brady

Maybe Kraft will change his mind and sue the NFL after all...

That might be fun!

Goodell and the NFL in full retreat...

Except the Patriots can't draft good WRs. That's been pretty well established.

Drafting Offensive and Defensive linemen, Linebackers, Tight Ends is where they're best.

Brady will end up getting 1-2 games, max, if anything at all. 50-50 shot he skates completely.

'Deflategate' judge says Brady suspension in jeopardy - Yahoo Sports

Read it and weep, NE Patriots/Brady haters:

"U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman warned an NFL lawyer during oral arguments that there was precedent for judges to toss out penalties issued by arbitrators in the scandal now known as ''Deflategate.

Berman cited several weaknesses in the way the NFL handled the controversy that could result in a victory by Brady and the NFL Players Association. . . .

If there is no negotiated deal, Berman said he hopes to rule by Sept. 4, six days before the Patriots host thePittsburgh Steelersin the NFL's season-opening game. He encouraged a settlement, calling it a ''logical and rational option.''

During more than two hours of arguments by attorneys, the judge noted other arbitration decisions have been rejected when a key witness was not allowed to testify as he questioned why NFL Executive Vice President Jeff Pash - who worked on the NFL investigation - could not be interviewed by union lawyers during the suspension's appeal.

Berman said arbitration proceedings, while more relaxed than court proceedings, are still required to follow due process rules to ensure fairness.

He said a reference to the Jan. 18 game against the Indianapolis Colts was ''conspicuously absent'' in a conclusion from the NFL investigation that found Brady was generally aware of a plot to deflate game balls below what rules allow.

Finally, Berman said he could not understand how the commissioner opted to keep a four-game suspension over some other penalty. He asked what portion of it was for involvement in a deflated football scheme and what part was because Goodell concluded Brady didn't cooperate with the probe.

He also was troubled by Goodell's defense of the penalty on the grounds that it was comparable to penalties on players who use performance enhancing drugs."

Tom Brady cheated.

Doesn't matter. Everyone knows he's a cheater, just like Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Mark McGwire, Lance Armstrong... should I keep going or stop there?

 

[HammerDown]

I have no idea how this will turn out, but based on the info coming out directly from folks in the courtroom I'd say that the judge is not too impressed with Goodell, his minions or their grasp on law.

This farce can't be over soon enough.

It sounds like Brady is finally folding so it should be soon.

Except, unlike the others, he will get into the hall of fame.

I don't think he'll fold consider that the fed judge has been tearing Goodell and his minions a new asshole in both hearings.

 

[HammerDown]

Except, unlike the others, he will get into the hall of fame.

Then he'll be a first but after anointing him Super Bowl MVP when he was literally the least-talented football player on the field, nothing will surprise me anymore. Nothing!

Oh okay. I guess Brady's just kidding when he says he is.

 

[Scooby-Doo]

in case this hasn't been brought up yet.....

Brady is a cheater

 

[Rex Racer]

Oh okay. I guess Brady's just kidding when he says he is.

He didn't say he was, CBS Sports did. You know CBS right? That's the same news organization that has been trying to convince you that Obama is a "centrist" for almost 8 years.

Don't think Kraft can sue the NFL and I hope if he can that he doesn't. Just stop all this crap!
