jo39416 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Does anyone know what happens to Brady's suspension if the case goes to Federal court?
NoSaint Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Does anyone know what happens to Brady's suspension if the case goes to Federal court? depends on the judge. bounty gate saw the nfl try to enforce the suspensions but the judge granting relief pending the outcome of the case as missing games would be irreparable harm to the player.

YoloinOhio Posted June 23, 2015 Author Posted June 23, 2015 @AdamSchefter: During today's appeal, Tom Brady is testifying under oath, per source.
Kelly the Dog Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 @AdamSchefter: During today's appeal, Tom Brady is testifying under oath, per source. Does that make any sense? He can't be testifying under oath, outside of promising to tell the truth with zero consequences if he doesn't. It's not like there could be a perjury charge. And they said they cannot increase his penalty. What oath?

What oath?Sal Pal just said the same thing on espn radio (that he is testifying under oath right now)- interesting

It was the Patriots** Oath: deny, deny, deny -- and, when faced with irrefutable evidence, say it "wasn't that bad anyway."
Kelly the Dog Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 It means he can lie and cheat and get away with it. What a...surprise... Patriots fans everywhere are going to say, "He said he didn't do anything under oath! That PROVES it!"
YoloinOhio Posted June 23, 2015 Author Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) They also said that brady won't accept anything less than total vindication so they think he will go to trial even if th suspension is reduced. If that's the case I don't know what motivation Goodell has to reduce it to 2. If he's going to trial anyway and Goodell is not going to erase the suspension, he will just keep it at 4.

I'm curious if they are making him testify under oath to be able to use it as evidence if/when the case goes to federal court.

Kelly the Dog Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 I'm curious if they are making him testify under oath to be able to use it as evidence if/when the case goes to federal court. How would that change a way a court thinks. The court would think under oath was a sham. It's not a legal procedure.

You are sworn in. personally, it has happened to me three times. Concerning copyrights. IIRC no judge need be present. I bet this is the case in Goodels conference room?

I believe Brady*'s people had to put it out there that he will fight to the mat just for any possible leverage they may gain. I'd be floored if any of this makes it into a "real" courtroom. if you are being deposed say in an attorneys office. And the other sides lawyers are there. You are sworn in. personally, it has happened to me three times. Concerning copyrights. IIRC no judge need be present. I bet this is the case in Goodels conference room? But your testimony was involving a lawsuit, no? No lawsuit here. It's a private league matter.
Kelly the Dog Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 He swore his allegiance to The Patriot Way. That goes without saying. Patriots on the practice squad holding receipt #54 at Dunkin Donuts say "Not me." when the barista says "54?!" if you are being deposed say in an attorneys office. And the other sides lawyers are there. You are sworn in. personally, it has happened to me three times. Concerning copyrights. IIRC no judge need be present. I bet this is the case in Goodels conference room? That could be but that is still a legal procedure over laws that may or may not have been broken. There are no laws here.

I would guess there needs to be some legal consequences if either side is BS'ing. That could lead to legal action. Didn't Brady at one time say something to the effect he would sue? i think both sides are cya. If I was Brady** knowing what we think we know. i would not agree to this.

If I was Brady** knowing what we think we know. i would not agree to this.I sincerely doubt that Brady would actually go to court unless it was something about the procedure as to how he was suspended which would never be him having to take the stand and explain what happened as well as Needledee and Needledumb having to take the stand in court. I don't think there is any chance that happens. Of course he and his team will threaten to. They just won't ever do it. He would be in WAY more trouble if he goes to court.
D521646 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 He's not going to court.. I read the report, one can argue whether the balls we deflated by the "weather" or not, but as to whether the preponderance of the evidence says Brady knew.. Sorry TFB, you're guilty as hell, and he knows it. Tim-
