All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Why can't it be that Brady did the deed, but the NFL was unfair and unrealistic in its investigation? That's what the judge is saying. From what I saw he didn't say anything about whether or not Brady deflated the balls. His ruling actually looked pretty fair and right from what I read.
Really, this is Goodell's fault. He developed a punishment system in this league that has consistently failed to hold up to legal scrutiny during appeals. The judges laugh at him every time. This has nothing to do with whether or not people have committed crimes, it has everything to do with fair and consistent punishment and investigations.
Clearly, your paying attention.
Ultimately, I agree with the position.
The equipment manager manipulated the balls according to Team preferences. Weather those prefrences really make a definitive difference is debatable.
The NFL had a poor, makeup, case vs Pats with a lot of unfair and biased reporting that could not stand up to legal scrutiny. The judge said as much... The NFL's case was BS
As for Brady, rarely does a person fight so hard for something he doesn't believe in.

Uh no, wrong. The judge merely said he didn't get due process.
BTW, I'm sure everyone remembers when I reported a few months ago that Chuck Pagano was pissed about how Grigson handled the footballs fiasco at the Deflategate game last year.
I said that it smelled like Pagano was left out of the loop on trying to pull a fast one and felt it cost them the game.
Well, the story was denied then, but it seems like it just won't die.
Now Irasy has to jump in to say there's nothing to it...
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay adamantly denied that a rift exists between general manager Ryan Grigson and coach Chuck Pagano.
Jim Irsay denies reported rift between Chuck Pagano, GM Ryan Grigson

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay adamantly denied that a rift exists between general manager Ryan Grigson and coach Chuck Pagano.
Irsay, in an impromptu interview outside the Colts' locker room after Sunday's 27-14 loss to Buffalo, was animated and clearly agitated about rumors circulating about the relationship between his general manager and coach.
"That can't be farther [from] the truth," Irsay said. "Ryan and Chuck work hard together. They have a great relationship. I've seen coaches and general managers work together since I was 11 years old. I know the dynamic that needs to be there for them to work together. They have a great relationship."
...and...
Pagano turned down a one-year contract extension from the Colts during the offseason, choosing instead to play out the season.
