    Should be a busy day...guessing they won't reach a settlement. Brady will start week 1 and deflategate will hang over. Tom reeks of guilt, handled the whole situation terribly from the start. Nuts.

    The biggest mistake he made was having his agent involved (phone issue) instead of letting the Union handle everything from the start. This is their baby and they should have had control from the get-go.

    Probably leading up to the Super Bowl he could have acknowledged some guilt. That would have prevented the Wells investigation and a lot of details coming to light. Brady thought he could fool the league. He thought he was invincible. He may have missed the Super Bowl, but he wouldn't have been exposed like this. Now, Brady wants this to go away, but he is going to have to own it first.

    Fuck tom....make sure the pump is attached to the
    needle.....fuckin watermelons coming

    Funny I always thought the biggest mistake he made was conspiring with and having his equipment manager deflate footballs.

    The league should have hired you instead of Wells.

    I think its pretty comical that hes willing to take a suspension if the reason is because he failed to cooperate with the league, instead of admitting to the wells report.

    Doesnt that prove his underlying guilt? Why would he fail to cooperate with the league if he wasnt trying to hide something?

    100%

    Brady wants this to go away so bad he is trying his best to concede now while saving face. Too late for that though. Kind of like Kraft, "Just to stop the rhetoric, we reluctantly accept the leagues punishment" AKA It's not worth appealing because we are guilty.

    Stop Cheating New England, damn

    I'd admit to the Wells report before taking a suspension. Being "generally aware" that some stadium employee "more probable than not" did something? Sure, okay.

    Don't forget the Pats Lawyers ran interference first before releasing it to Yee, so we have two sets of Legal teams bungling it from the get go.....Tom probably is to stupid to man up and admit something minor way back, or they advised him of the Patriot Way to Delflect, Arrogantly challenge and Deny.

    The phone thing is just unforgivable with the texts and the deflator video........a coverup from NE's side

    Brant is reporting

    Berman has told the court that Brady and Goodell have to appear before him on 8/31 if they don't agree today It's a drop dead date move.....more posturing on continued settlement attempts

    NFL Nash testifying to Kessler and court..... Telling Berman why are we re-trying the case??

    Berman asking what games for non coop and what are for the being generally aware. Arguing over why Goodell has authority over competitve advantage rulingss, etc.

    This is a farce....waste.. Lawyers fucking it all up.

    I'm not sure why this particular pound of flesh is so important to either side. If he's willing to accept a couple of games, the league gets validation for its heavy handed approach, and he and his loyal minions still get to question the Wells report into infinity. Which they are going to do no matter what ultimately happens.
    This is why I think the pressure is on the league now to accept a deal. Brady does his time. Each side gets to spin it in a way favorable to themselves. Everybody wins.

    Kind of hard to suspend BB when you are going all in on a report that totally exonerates him. I'm beginning to believe the league may be putting the screws to Tommy Boy to get BB to admit he was the one who ordered the code red.

    The league wins under this scenario, as they would now have a precedent set and going forward and would be able to do whatever they want to whomever they want moving forward. In the big picture, I'm pro-Union.

    His side is trying to show the judge they are willing to be reasonable and take a game on not being completely cooperative. It looks a lot better than what the league has shown the judge.

    The NFL is demanding Brady acknowledge guilt AND that the Wells report is accurate. This comes across as totally unreasonable, and last Wednesday the judge made that clear to the NFL side he thinks so. He said based on the Wells and appeal report that he could not wrap his head around any finding of a scheme to deflate footballs on January 18.

    The Commish and his minions are getting killed right now, so he has no reason to make any good faith compromise.

    Comments on today's hearing:

    @BenVolin
    Judge Berman was very critical of Goodell’s conparison of ball deflation to steroids, and that Wells Report has no Brady link to Jan. 18

    Stephen Brown @PPVSRB
    Berman: "There is a bit of a quantum leap from the finding of Mr. Wells to the finding of Mr. Goodell." (from general awareness to scheme)

    @mtaibbi
    Took the morning off to visit Judge Berman's courtroom re the Brady case. Most will conclude it was a bad butt-kicking for the NFL.

    @mtaibbi
    Most interesting moment to me was Berman saying Goodell may have violated rules by disallowing testimony of Pash at Brady's arb appeal.

    Daniel Wallach @WALLACHLEGAL
    Judge Berman: "I have a little trouble with [Goodell deciding on four games]," via @tomecurran (at court)

    @PPVSRB
    Berman hit the NFL hard yet again, and again had problems with language of Wells Report and appeal process
