Pretty accurate representation of this whole #### show.
How is it out if context? Our entire conversation was about you/NE fans being outraged by Goodell's lies, but ignoring Brady's. You then post that it doesn't matter if Brady lied, because you feel Goodell misrepresented what Brady testified.
We were talking about specifically whether Goodell lied, and again if you believe Brady lied, thats fine. To speed this along, lets say Brady lied - great. So wtf does that have to do with Goodell lying?
WE weren't talking about ONLY if Goodell lied, you were (because you and other NE fans ignore Brady's lies-which was my point).
Waste of time and money on his part. Defamation lawsuits are incredibly hard to win.
Hopefully he can get the documentation that was created during this investigation and get it released. I would like to see these "independent investigations" looked at again.
Agreed, I've heard him talk in interviews, super passionate dude - hes absolutely convinced he got railroaded. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Ted Wells comments at the Brady appeal that brought legal action. Hard to impossible to prove, but I think he could make his case and at least drag some people out.HobbesAB said:

GOODELL: "Okay, I'm willing to concede a bit here.... I'm a reasonable guy. Admit you are 100% guilty, take full responsibility for the entire scandal, tell everyone you're a pathological liar, declare me supreme ruler of the NFL Universe, and pledge your unwavering support and allegiance to me while on your knees on a prime time broadcast on the NFL network... and we'll knock it down to 3 games."
What the rest of the country actually wants: Brady and the Patriots to just have a little bit of accountability.
Goodell lying means he was trying to pressure Brady (no appeal, come clean etc.)
Dear SeniorVBDStudent,
Would $1 million and two draft picks, a first-rounder in 2016 and a fourth-rounder in 2017 suffice? Because Robert Kraft and the Patriots have already accepted that punishment from the league for this violation.
I'll explain this post just in case English isn't everyone's first language.
You may feel uncomfortable with the NFL as judge and jury but players from 31 teams didn't seem to care when they signed the CBA.
Which team was the exception?
Cause its a handful of texts between two people who are very apparently man-children, that were cherry picked specifically because they could make them fit the narrative. We can laugh about all the #### they jokingly talk about but as soon as someone says deflator (months before this is even reasonably suspicious activity) thats all you need to condemn them, and Brady, and the Patriots.
Can I get an explanation as to why that explanation was ridiculous? There was another text in which he was called the Deflator when it was clearly related to weight loss. Literally. There was. Do I think that's where the nickname or whatever it was came from? No. But the term was used, by the same two people, in reference to losing weight.
They fit a narrative because they are ####### talking about deflating balls. Among the ridiculous reasons they gave for their exchanges was that one loses weight so he is called the deflater
The Steelers felt the commissioner shouldn't hear appeals but were the only team that voted against it.
A pretty straightforward question should get a straight answer and thus ginger clown still can't do it. Also like how he mentions "Independent" again after they said in court last week that it doesn't matter.
Well, its been six months, there is a lot of information that you are clearly unaware of, but the good news is you have all the time in the world to go over it.
According to the article, Brady is also refusing to budge; he will accept a fine, but no suspension.With neither side willing to compromise, the judge will have to resolve the issue. I don't see how either side can feel comfortable with that. The NFL has the CBA on its side, but in court, the judge could go either way.
