Goodell to appeal

[OregonDucks]

Just move on. please. at this point who fucking cares? NFL wanted to be serious about this they would have done something immediately afterwards before the SB. Instead, Patriots won the SB and that's that. Who cares now. Its a new season.

End this political bullshit of the NFL and lets just play football.

They can't just move on.

This is about power and has been for some time. The NFL front office can't let this go any more than the NFLPA could have if it was ruled the other way.

This decision leaves the CBA very much in doubt in terms of who has the power to hand out punishment. It's nearly going to be impossible for Goodell to function after this ruling without everything going to court. The owners aren't going to be happy with the fallout. They have to appeal this and fight hard.

Don't exaggerate, you know that several Pats fans have been honest, clean, and straight throughout this dumb affair. We're not all in the same bucket.

Wait? I was saying the NFL front office can't just move on after this defeat. Did I miss the point of this thread?

Not at all, I've commended your hogwash several times in this thread.

I don't think that much changed. It certainley reinforces that even the commish must follow the rules set in the CBA and by laws. Article 46 doesn't give him carte blanche. If he had made Pash available, chose a reasonable punishment, and followed the judges direction of trying to settle I honestly think this would've had a different result. He can still discipline players within the legal parameters.

 

[GNG]

Does he get a free trip on Jerra's party bus like Blindino and co? Bet he doesn't.

Only if Hardy gets his suspension overturned.

 

[Dude]

They should clothe Goodell in a hood and bring him to the masses, on the Streets, let's see what they think about that plump lazy executive. If they took Brady to a mob, he'd convince them of anything, he would become the Lord of the masses. Tom is a leader. Goodell is a follower. Oh, what a perfect mess.

I agree entirely in your assessment. The fact remains that Brady is not guilty and it is fortunate for him that Goodell overstepped the bounds. If not, Goodell would have won on a technicality.

I really wish Goodell would throw in the towel here. I can't see the court seeing this case doing the season, ad it would be unfair to Brady and Tha Pats. There's a good possibility Brady retires after this season meaning Goodell will be suspending a retired player.

Well I fir one still think Brady had his part in the deflation, but NE fans can claim his innocence on a technicality.

 

[cravnravn]

Wonder if the two scapegoats the Pats fired in this mess get their jobs back?

only if the NFL lets them back as per Troy Vincent

I think Brady knew more than he said he did but what he actually told them to do is another story.

Dear Mr. Goodell:

The first rule of holes is, when you are in one, stop digging.

Excellent advice but sadly, there are ego's involved.

For the record, very few NE fans think that Brady was innocent. I am one of the few that believe he was not guilty.

Southie and umichgradfan are hand in hand.

 

[Texas Jefe]

uh oh, maybe a chink in the Goodell armor?

 

[Texas Jefe]

How about to protect the 'integrity of the game' you dont give a woman beater 2 games, a pot smoker a whole year, and a ball 'slightly' inflater four games?

What a crock of shit.

obviously meant 'deflater' but whatever. You get the gist.

and just let me repeat, I dont like the Patriots, or Belicheck or Brady. Arbitrary rulings for 'on high' are stupid, reminds of the funny movies with idiotic/moronic dictators.

 

[GNG]

Actually that's week 5, just in time for the Kraken to be unleashed.

Hardy should have his suspension lifted so he can start in game one or is Brady being given special treatment.
