"Our role is not to determine for ourselves whether Brady participated in a scheme to deflate footballs or whether the suspension imposed by the Commissioner should have been for three games or five games or none at all. Nor is it our role to second-guess the arbitrator's procedural rulings," the opinion said. "Our obligation is limited to determining whether the arbitration proceedings and award met the minimum legal standards established by the Labor Management Relations Act." The 2nd Circuit said the contract between players and the NFL gave the commissioner authority that was "especially broad." "Even if an arbitrator makes mistakes of fact or law, we may not disturb an award so long as he acted within the bounds of his bargained-for authority," the court said. That's why it's reinstated.
That must be all very well and swell for you. Congratulations on your great successes in these endeavors. It's really quite impressive.
There's nothing more pitiful than gaining satisfaction out of the misery of others. Literally nothing more pitiful than that.
The bargained authority that Kr*ft was instrumental in bargaining for him, while Myra was on her death bed.
NFL = give me your phone Tom Brady so we can investigate your involvement. Brady = No Impeding an investigation proof met.
If you were responsible for building the Patriots then great for you. But you weren't, you're just a joe like everyone else. Who likes to get off on trolling Internet forums. Sad.
Honestly I don't think the Jets will benefit from this. We don't get to play the Patriots minus Brady. And God forbid if Garoppolo is the next big thing.
It really doesn't matter. Garoppolo is going to be a solid QB. The patriots are set for another ten years. They took a QB in the 2nd round in a good QB year cuz he was BPA. We take a QB in the 2nd round cuz we're desperate and got Geno Smith.
So why are you acting like such a whiny little bitch when Jets fans take the opportunity to piss on the guy's grave then?
Brady wants to play for a few more years. I don't think Belichick will bench him. If Garoppolo doesn't play he might leave when his rookie deal expires. But if he lights it up these first four games then all bets are off.
I'll ask again: where is the proof that Brady deflated those footballs or instructed equipment managers to do so?
It doesn't require proof. Roger is judge jury and executioner as negotiated for in the CBA. Kraft pushed for the commish to have this much power and stood by him while he slapped around other teams with the donkey dick of justice. He was 100% on board until it bit his team in the ass. I don't personally feel this offense is worth 4 games. 1 at most but i believe the 4 games was GODell's way of telling them to cut it out for all the shenanigans and instead they tried to cover up and play victim. Robert Kraft is a shmuck and getting exactly what he deserves.
So the hammer fell on the cheater. BAM! P.S. So the cheater stigma is now engraved on Br*dy's forehead forever. That's a nice bonus.
