Report: Tom Brady destroyed his phone. Appeal has been denied.
Nope.....he did nothing wrong.
http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/...eld/ar-AAdBouH The NFL is going to reject Tom Brady’s appeal and uphold the four-game suspension he is facing for his alleged role in Deflategate, according to one report. Stephen A. Smith said on ESPN’s “First Take” Tuesday morning that a source told him Roger Goodell will not reduce or overturn Brady’s suspension. Perhaps more shocking, Smith cited a separate source who told him Brady actually destroyed his own personal cell phone rather than just refusing to turn it over. We have known all along that the bigger issue here is Brady’s lack of cooperation during the Ted Wells investigation. The NFL was furious that Brady wouldn’t give up “relevant” text messages and emails that might help clarify his level of involvement — or lack thereof — in Patriots equipment managers allegedly letting air out of game balls. Smith clarified that he was told by one source that the NFL is going stand by its four-game suspension within the next 24-48 hours, whereas the information about Brady destroying his cell phone was just “something I heard.” It was almost as if he was downplaying the information knowing how much of a bombshell the rumor was. Reports in recent weeks have been all over the place regarding Brady’s appeal. There has been some indication that the two sides are working toward a settlement, though reports like this one make that seem unlikely. If the NFL upholds the suspension, no one would be stunned. If someone can prove that Brady destroyed his cell phone, that would be tough for the New England Patriots quarterback to explain. |

NFL lawyers forgot to sign their paperwork and had to resubmit today.
Simultaneously while the NFLPA filed their petition to vacate today in Minnesota. https://nflpaweb.blob.core.windows.n...o%20vacate.pdf Loads of CBA violations by Goodell and company showing them to be more criminal than thought. Not to mention gross lack of standards of fairness—due process. Really gives them a black eye. |

I would think any judge would still look at standards of fairness, due process and massive CBA violations by league heads. Just what standing does the NFL have to file a pre-emptive lawsuit? They obviously delayed the decision until they could find a judge they wanted. You certainly seem to favor mafiosi-style justice. I thought you were better than that Laz.

The petition seems to rely on the Peterson case which precedent Goodell ignored.

You'd think guys like Brady would learn from guys like Braun that blatantly lying over and over and over again just makes things worse. Marion Jones, Pete Rose, etc

Don't forget Lance Armstrong. He's a good comparison, as he went from being a totally beloved hero to someone everybody hates.

That won't happen. The media has already begun their apology tour. If this was Kaepernick or Flacco. Forget about it. Their reputations would be absolutely destroyed. The media is good at sweeping these things under the rug. I'm already dreading the week 4 ESPN videos about how Brady got a renewed focus and love for the game from his time off.

The reality is this really worth taking this legal matter through the U.S. judicial system? The time, cost, obtaining of evidence and other court assistance, is mind boggling. Follow this Twitter Account: Raffi Melkonian, an appellate lawyer in Houston. I have noticed that a few sports reporters are asking Mr. Melkonian questions. Melkonian obtained a letter the NFL's filed tonight. https://twitter.com/RMFifthCircuit/with_replies United States District Court for the Southern District of New York The Honorable Richard Berman Arbitration in New York http://eguides.cmslegal.com/pdf/arbi...NEW%20YORK.pdf

The Patriots fans on this board have reached a new low of pathetic. Almost as low as the bandwagon team they hopped on.
