K-9 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Not in the least. Brady simply requested a two-week extension of time to file a brief supporting his request for the full court to rehear his case, which is routine and almost certainly would not be denied, absent some indication that he has been delinquent in litigating his case. Ultimately, he has to persuade the full Second Circuit to rehear his case, which is something that court rarely does and, more importantly, doesn't like to do. When a full appellate court rehears a decision that has already been decided by a panel of the court's judges, it represents a slap in the face to the judges on the panel who originally heard and decided the case, because by doing so, the full slate of judges on the court are expressing their belief that their colleagues may have screwed up. All the appellate courts--but especially the Second Circuit--feel strongly that their panel decisions should not be disturbed by the full court absent extraordinary circumstances. Added to that is the fact that courts don't particularly like to wade into cases that attract a lot of mainstream attention. Even if a number of the judges on the Second Circuit have some concerns about the reasoning of the panel decision, they may be particularly reluctant to afford this case the rare distinction of being reheard by the full court, simply to avoid giving off the perception that the court is beholden to Brady's star power. Good points here. Especially with so much precedent of courts not wanting to decide collectively bargained labor issues. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxum Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 If Garapollo has to play I expect the Pats coaches to figure out a way to send signals to him during plays to help him find open receivers. Either with an illegal helmet radio or even through secret code on the end zone scoreboards. Maybe a flickering light left, right, up or down that signals where to throw. If Pats* have the intelligence contacts some claim there are contact lens which can flash messages on them which Garapollo can read (similar to Iron Man's heads up display but not as detailed). But would they trust Garapollo to not leak this information out? Over and over, the NFLPA has shown no interest in improving player safety. And they have defended every player who has suspended, including actual violent criminals. Exactly; they defend players who intentionally injure other players.

PromoTheRobot Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 On a side, Boston-related note, Big Papi is having a hell of a year. 40-year old ball player who said he's retiring suddenly knocking the snot out the ball. What a great story. Kind of reminds me of a former Red Sox pitcher who enjoyed a miraculous career rebirth late in life. Maybe too a QB nearing 40 who still plays like a youngster.

What a great story. Kind of reminds me of a former Red Sox pitcher who enjoyed a miraculous career rebirth late in life. Maybe too a QB nearing 40 who still plays like a youngster. Maybe they, too, are clients of Alex Guerrerro, the medical genius with a degree from some night school you've never heard of who the FTC tagged for peddling alleged cancer cures using phony (as in nonexistent) medical studies. He's just so much smarter than the medical community that it's outrageous..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
