the outlaw Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Goodell is an idiot puppet...this should have never been anything more than a $25K team fine to begin with...unfortunately, even with this ruling, i'm afraid the whole saga isn't over with, as the NFL is certain to appeal...

Grits and Shins Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 It will be interesting to see repercussions, if any, Goodell experiences. Of course there is still the appeal. Either way I like the message sent to Goodell and the NFL ... come on guys, a little proof is needed before you can punish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the outlaw Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Legacy still tarnished I think that's totally subjective...i'm not a Pats fan, but I've always admired Brady for the way he approaches the game...in my opinion (which I realize doesn't mean squat), his legacy hasn't been tarnished in the least...on the other hand, I think the NFL has created a total debacle with their investigation and cover-up of this, and I don't trust anything that comes out of "the League Office" at this juncture...

Grits and Shins Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) I don't think the legacy is tarnished at all. I think Goodell and the NFL could save some face if they would let it drop. Announce that they thought he broke the rules and took what they believed to be the appropriate action ... but with the court ruling in favor of Tom Brady they are going to let the matter drop and move forward with the season for the good of the league. The NFL and Goodell are clearly oblivious to the fact that they look like morans making mountains out of very very tiny mole hills ... they look like tyrants trying to have their way ... they look like they are throwing a childish temper tantrum because they can't have their way. Time for Goodell and the NFL to grow up and move on. Edited September 3, 2015 by Grits and Shins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grits and Shins Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Goodell not going to be at the NE opener ... he wants the focus to be on the game, on the players, on the fans. He should apply that standard to the whole damn thing and let it go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishPride Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Corporate Goliath loses, CBA 1 NFL 0, The NFL will have to appeal because they don't want this to be a precedent setting case. Its the long term outlook on discipline and one man being the enforcer. They under estimated the Players union and the judicial system. Guilt or Not, they circumvented due process and because of that, they (NFL) lost. Air in ball or not, this was a test of the system, not Tom Brady, don't be fooled.

Having said that, I personally think Brady is guilty as sin. That is my opinion and I have a God given right to it being born in the good ole USofA. And anyone who doesn't like that, can go @%CK themselves. Now that our legal system has clearly shown Goodell to be a tyrannical leader, who again clearly over stepped his authority, he needs to be shown the door. I'm not too sure the support he received from ownership is very pleased with being made a fool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Deuce Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Just my 2 cents, but just from what I was reading all along, it seemed like this was never an issue to the judge... he knew what he was going to do before the trial even started.

the outlaw Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 the ruling was not on TB's innocence or guilt, it was on the procedural handling of the league's punishment and arbitration hearing (i'm not convinced the majority of NFL fans even realize this - they just want TB to either be fried or exonerated, depending upon which camp they are sitting - LOL)...the judge repeatedly encourage the parties to reach settlement before he issued his ruling, yesterday... and, for those of you who DO get it, i apologize in advance for potentially insulting your intelligence!

LOL The judge did admonish the NFL for using a standard of "it was more probable than not that he knew something was generally going on" for punishment. So while the judge didn't clear up the issue of Tom Brady's guilt or innocence ... he did tell the NFL Goodell just can't make it up as he goes, that he will have to follow procedures. The judge also commented on the NFLs total lack of evidence and pointed out that there wasn't a shred of evidence tying Brady to any activity in regards to deflation of balls.
