    So did judge Berman shoot down that deflate gate ruling with a 20mm or 30mm cannon?

    "This decision should prove, once and for all, that our Collective Bargaining Agreement does not grant this Commissioner the authority to be unfair, arbitrary and misleading," the NFL Players Association said in a statement. "While the CBA grants the person who occupies the position of Commissioner the ability to judiciously and fairly exercise the designated power of that position, the union did not agree to attempts to unfairly, illegally exercise that power, contrary to what the NFL has repeatedly and wrongfully claimed."

    "Criminals get off on technicalities so Tom Brady is guilty!"

    Makes all the sense in the world.

    I have to admit I was wrong on this. I thought the decision to vacate would come down yesterday before the 6 o'clock news. My bad.

    Judge didn't support finding of the Wells Report

    He also didn't support the fact that the NFL wouldn't let Brady challenge those finding. Just because Wells claims something, doesn't make it true.

    For judge to overturn this suspension is a very, very big thing!

    Not what I said at all...

    I was illustrating the point. Loopholes are exploited. If a kink in the chain of process can be exploited, then it's case closed no matter how guilty you are.

    The judge's ruling doesn't make Brady any more guilty or innocent than he was before. You must know what the case was about, but there is really no point in talking to you when you are in all-out troll-mode intentionally trying to piss people off. Good luck with that.

    Berman thought so. But Brady's guilt was irrelevant. Process was on trial. But. So what?

    He couldn't. That would have set himself up to be overturned, but he did get the nfl to admit that they didnt have any proof

    goodell should have kept the spygate footage. this is his karma getting him. the whole reason to hold the pats to a higher standard is because they already were caught cheating. and he can't go back to show the court why they got a harsher penalty since they routinely bend the rules to their liking.

    Keep this in mind when brady's karma comes due.
