This allows Goodell to hear the appeal and provide the appearance of some level of independence and impartiality. | ||

If they find something concrete on there they can increase the punishment given to brady. If that's true I'm going to laugh my ass off that he didn't have someone with some sense in his ear that he trusted. | ||

And he refused to hand it over on the NFLPA's advice. | ||

The NFL/NFLPA CBA states that for these appeals the original decision can only be upheld, reduced, or vacated. An increase of punishment is not on the table. Also, the NFL still has no subpoena power, so Brady would still not have to turn over his phone. At least the NFLPA got this part right back when they negotiated the deal. I have a feeling the next CBA negotiations will be very interesting. | ||

I mean its ESPN, if they don't say something stupid and inflamatory at least once per hour their ratings will drop. | ||

NFL supposedly talking to the Patriots through "back-channel conversations" to come to an agreement on the penalties (not Brady, the money and picks). | ||

This is EXACTLY what the NFL and Patriots should've been doing awhile ago....i'm glad they read my posts about it here on TL.Net... "back-channel conversations" .. which i hope means "back-channel negotiations". its good to see, hopefully, its resolved behind closed doors with compromise on all sides...and this whole mess can be quickly forgotten. | ||

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that QB salaries climb every year. The Hawks should have been all over this earlier. The first guy that signs sets the bench mark for others up that year or the next. Tannahill is a mid range starter and gonna get $20m a year due to inflation. Had they signed RW last year, he'd be south of $20m probably. | ||

Goody showed up and was like, "stfu or I'll have my head so deep up your ass I'll be able to chew your food for you." Kraft and Brady were like "Yeah,you right. My bad." Could of taken my advice and had this done already, without looking impotent and stupid. | ||

the NFL learned something during their investigation that they have not revealed; something ugly. they'll play that card only if they absolutely have to. and now that don't have to. that's my best guess. according to ESPN, Goodell was seen hugging Kraft. that's great guys.. hug it out. | ||

Saw this coming a mile away. | ||

Not only is that costly in a $$ sense, but Goodell has demonstrated the will to dole out extra punishment to anyone who challenges him. Cost/benefit on that says it's probably easier to just swallow the fine and losing Brady for four early season games against mostly shitty teams. | ||
