PromoTheRobot Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 So just to take a straw poll here - it feels like the boards general tone is that the media is in the leagues pocket because they are scared to upset them... Unless it involves a soon to retire player and q coach that doesn't give them access anyway... Then the league allegiances are out the window? I don't know if that's true but I do know a lot of sports media talking heads are blowing smoke for Brady.

Kelly the Dog Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Brady appeal ended. No further meeting scheduled.
NoSaint Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 I don't know if that's true but I do know a lot of sports media talking heads are blowing smoke for Brady. Is there a reason they are doing this or might it just be their take?
K-9 Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 greenberg was this morning. @RapSheet: The Tom Brady hearing has concluded10 hours. No further hearings are scheduled Hope they brought their shovels. Gonna be a B word finding the door. GO BILLS!!!
YoloinOhio Posted June 24, 2015 Author Posted June 24, 2015 @BartHubbuch: Tom Brady didn't speak but attorney Jeff Kessler said: "Tom was there until the BITTER end." @MikeGarafolo: On way out of 345 Park, Ted Wells says he testified today. No further comment beyond that.
The Wiz Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 You've clearly never read a 388 page book on phase transformations. You could have stopped at book honestly.

No further comment beyond that. I pray that Tommy somehow survived this harrowing ordeal. He has a fragile psyche as evidenced by his severe insecurity about his legacy. GO BILLS!!!
PromoTheRobot Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Is there a reason they are doing this or might it just be their take?You want their take? It's "Why are we still talking about this?" "I'm bored of this already!" "What's the big deal?" "Brady has 4 rings. He doesn't need to cheat." "Goodell and the league owe Brady an apology." Yada Yada. What they never talk about is the stuff that shows Brady and the Pats** are hiding something. They have their brooms out and rugs lifted. Edited June 24, 2015 by PromoTheRobot

YoloinOhio Posted June 24, 2015 Author Posted June 24, 2015 Anyone see when a decision is expected? Hardy had his appeal end of May and nothing yet...
NoSaint Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Anyone see when a decision is expected? Hardy had his appeal end of May and nothing yet... There's rarely a tight timeline on these in the offseason. We will find out when we find out.
K-9 Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 The Espn article made it sound like Brady testified and gave stellar testimony. Edit: from the Espn article: No details of the hearing were immediately available but a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that "Tom Brady's greatest ally today was Tom Brady." Sources also told Schefter that Brady came off as very genuine, earnest, and persuasive, addressing every issue raised in the league-sanctioned Wells report. One of the sources called it "an A+ performance." So, who leaked these details to ESPN, the NFL or Brady's people? Anyway, I don't think it matters much. I think Goodell has known all along how this was gonna be decided since Kraft fell on his sword "for the good of the league." GO BILLS!!!

K-9 Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Janeane tho! Garoppolo is hoping he gets an extra 2. I doubt it. I think he's schitting his pants at the prospects of coming into The Ralph and facing the cold front. GO BILLS!!!
YoloinOhio Posted June 24, 2015 Author Posted June 24, 2015 I doubt it. I think he's schitting his pants at the prospects of coming into The Ralph and facing the cold front. GO BILLS!!! he can watch film of Aaron Rodgers' trip to the Ralph. That will help him sleep well.
Dorkington Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 I hate that sinking feeling... I bet the suspension will be lifted, and the fines kept in place.
NoSaint Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Unless he provided a good explanation for not producing his texts and ended up producing them, I would hope the suspension will stand. Has anyone else ever been suspended for this? I know the nfl tried to hit Hargrove for not participating in an investigation and it was overturned.... Anyone else? Gostkowski likewise didn't turn over requested records and got no punishment. Is this just the right punishment because you like Tom Brady getting hit or because it makes sense in the context of nfl history? Edited June 24, 2015 by NoSaint
