so you complain when we follow the rules, so we decided to break them and then you whined too : confused:

the difference is one was the refs fault and one was tom brady's fault. the only similarity between the two is that the pats deserved to lose.

My mind is still blown by the idea that having a certain player on a team disqualifies a ring

If I had naked pictures of my wife and the seventeen women I am cheating on my wife with at any given time on my phone I would absolutely destroy that poo poo before letting the chucklefucks at the NFL anywhere near it. You can't count on that stuff being erased properly when it comes to millions of dollars in a divorce settlement.

Goodell should be gelded for this. His moralistic and player safety nonsense was cute for awhile and appeased the activists and troublemakers enough to make the league very profitable and kept the heat of of it. Two fatal flaws: got caught with his pants down on the Ray Rice thing and got clocked worse than the girl in the video by it. If your claim to fame is your ability to discipline you have to be way out in front of stories/videos like that. And perhaps because his authority was so diminished by that whole affair, he tried to be overly aggressive with Brady to reassert his power. He was way too harsh in the penalty (I'm a bills fan saying this) and put himself in the position to be drawn out like this. The judge loving WARNED HIM TO SETTLE. His subtext is that one of you is going to be very unhappy if I rule on this. Instead he doubled down even with the evidence of Jay Feely and Troy Vincent pointing to the fact that signs were pointing to the judge ruling for Brady. This fuckup is potentially astronomical because now every player (even players caught doing illegal things) going to challenge their suspensions in court. Goodell has been revealed as a paper tiger and has weakened the "shield" and therefore the owners who employ him.

He gives the appearance of caring about player safety with the fines for certain hits and the neurologists on the sidelines etc. not the actuality of safety though. The point is he wasn't ever good with judging player conduct or player safety despite being all soundbitey about it.

They wasted Luanne on Lucky!

She could of have been so much more but the writers just didn't care!

quote:

Appearing at the top of the last full page of the 40-page ruling is the list of claims from Brady and the NFL Players Association that Judge Berman saw no need to address, including: (1) whether Commissioner Roger Goodell was “evidently partial” in presiding over the appeal of Brady’s suspension; (2) whether Goodell’s conclusions regarding Brady’s knowledge of and involvement in the alleged deflation scheme exceeded the findings of the Ted Wells report; and (3) whether Goodell undermined his competency to serve as arbitrator by publicly praising the work of Ted Wells.

So if the NFL, which already has filed a notice of appeal, pursues the appeal, wins the appeal, and forces the case back to Judge Berman for proceedings consistent with the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, Judge Berman can take up those issues — and once again scrap the suspension. Or, at a minimum, he can order that a second appeal hearing occur.

Which means that the case could be tied up even longer in the courts, and that the eventual ruling (if the NFL wins its appeal) could directly undermine the Commissioner’s powers in future suspensions.

Anybody want some more deflategate? How about some deflategate? Maybe on the way to the pool we can have some dededededeflaaaategate??
