A dog came in the kitchen
And stole a crust of bread.
Then cook up with a ladle
And beat him till he was dead.

Defamation lawsuit? Definitely
The gravamen of your asservation is that the Justice dabbles in pedantry?
Judge needs to get crackin' unless he wants to read stay papers Labor Day weekend. Unless a ruling for the League would be accompanied by a stay, which would be a bit presumptuous, though not unheard of.Rovin Romine said:
What's the timing on this re: a stay?
If he's being considerate/sensible, I figure he'd probably issue his ruling in enough time so that the most affected party (Brady) can move for a stay. If he's ruling against the NFL, it really does not matter if he gets it out any particular time; however, it would give Brady/the Pats some mental relief re: knowing whether he'd be filing a stay/appealing, and what their literal game plan should be for the season opener.
Worst case for Brady would be the judge upholding the suspension, but not doing so until just before the season opener. What's the turnaround on an emergency Motion to Stay?
I love that Judge. He's George Will with a sense of humor and without old man anger.Myt1 said:The gravamen of your asservation is that the Justice dabbles in pedantry?

your cheating fucks have received more than their fair share of warnings already.
that is why this is where it is.
any delusional fan who thinks the league is just picking on the Pats needs to take a hard look in the mirror.
the league is just finally putting an end to the bullshit which has been ongoing for over a decade plus..

A Tom Brady camp source gave me this interesting nugget this am. 1 of the 19 cases cited by Brady's camp in a recent memo to Judge Richard M. Berman ---NYC v. Association of Wall-Ceiling & Carpentry Industry of N.Y., Inc. ---was ruled on by Judge Berman himself within the last four months.
The Brady camp source expressed surprise, that in their mind, many in media have not picked up on the fact that Judge Berman himself ruled on the aforementioned case and more importantly vacated the arbitration award "for violating the essence of the CBA," according to the Brady camp source.
The source added, "which is the same as our first two grounds here [**see below]. (Judge Berman) did not find deference was required where the essence of the CBA is violated by the award." Adding, "I think this is significant because it shows how Judge Berman feels about the argument that courts never overturn arbitrators."
The Brady camp source noted this, given all the talk on how courts, in general, don't favor a determination to throw out arbitrator rulings.
Asked when they think Judge Berman will make a decision here:
I think (Tuesday) is a possibility," the source said. "People are reading tea leaves. The Judge didn’t say anything or indicate whether it would be Tuesday or the next day. But it will be Tuesday or the next day. I don’t think it is going to be later than that."
When I asked which of their arguments do they feel is the strongest, the Brady camp source said, “I think all four of our arguments are strong. It would not surprise me if we win on all four. It's not like we have a really good one and then the other ones are not so good. It’s one of the reasons why I think we have such a good chance of winning because we only have to win on one of the four, but I think they are all very good. [**] The first one is on no notice; two, is no standards for testing the balls; three, is evident partiality and four is on fundamental fairness of the process...I have a lot of confidence in this Judge. I think he is a very good Judge.”
Wow, so this could just be the negative side of me, but could leaks like this hurt Brady and the NFLPA or has the judge tipped his hand to them so they know what's coming? Seems like radio silence from the NFL.Corsi said:

Just to be accurate, that was the third Beckett quote in a page and half.
I pulled the last post of the Tom Brady Suspended thread form Gang Green (look, it is addressed to us!):
In the months since, many of us who care about the truth whether or not we root for the Patriots (and I do not) have come to appreciate this carefully constructed, false appearance of guilt. [...]
The leagues accusatory statement, apparently damning at first blush, turns out to be misleading, irrelevant, and thoroughly predictable.

Apr. 27, 2015)) where Judge Berman vacated an award in April. He was very aggressive/antagonistic toward the side seeking to have the award confirmed, which doesn't necessarily support the theory that he was just getting on Nash to push him towards settlement. He also didn't take too kindly to its suggestion that the arbitrator was entitled to nearly unlimited deference:
In response to the assertion by counsel that "it really doesn't matter if [the arbitrator was] right or wrong:"

Other lawyers can correct me, but I'm basically unaware of any court decisions being leaked ahead of time. That's mostly because of lack of interest, but even high profile Supreme Court decisions like gay marriage, or the ACA don't get leaked, and you've got a universe of 50+ people who have the answers there.HomeBrew1901 said:Wow, so this could just be the negative side of me, but could leaks like this hurt Brady and the NFLPA or has the judge tipped his hand to them so they know what's coming?
