Yeah the clip on sporting news cuts off right after Minihane says "What? It's not that hard." Minihane actually has done a really nice job being Mr. Sane on this. Unfortunately I'd bet heavy money that Entercom is going to get pressure.Byrdbrain said:Yeah it seems Bart "accidentally" stopped the clip just before Kirk said "I'm obviously joking"

Just saw the Minihane clip. Not sure why anyone without an agenda would take it seriously.
At this point, there isn't much difference which day it is, right?TheoShmeo said:Feel free to discount this as you please.
Someone very close to this expects the decision tomorrow.
And cue the "well it's coming on Friday then" cracks.
But Thursday is F5 day.
Did you hear specifics and wouldn't only Berman know when it was coming?TheoShmeo said:Feel free to discount this as you please.

Not entirely out of the question that judge would give counsel a heads up on when it's likely to be launched. But a judge would never give counsel a heads up on what it's likely to say. And so we wait.LuckyBen said:Did you hear specifics and wouldn't only Berman know when it was coming?
if your contact happens to be Judge Berman himself, any chance you could talk him into letting you (and some of the other lawyers here) write a few pages of the opinion?TheoShmeo said:Feel free to discount this as you please.

Goes to a three-judge panel on the Second Circuit. There are 20+ judges on that court. And nobody can influence who will be on that panel.Harry Hooper said:IIRC, there will be no fourm shopping on the appeal. We know which court gets it automatically, right?
No one wants Berman's decision to be released tomorrow more than Minihane.
So what's the signifigance of the December 15 date?DennyDoyle'sBoil said:The only reason I could see for Brady asking the NFLPA to consider not appealing is if Berman writes the opinion in a way that seems particularly difficult to overcome on appeal. Assuming he gets a stay, he may wish to avoid the possibility of having an affirmance come down at a time when a four-game suspension might be less desirable -- like December 15, 2016 or something. That said, this is a stretch -- as others have noted there's really no downside to an appeal.

This is an invitation to join us in a joke.simplyeric said:Am I really the first person in this thread to ask a question that could be googled?
Also: Unlike certain searches, 'December 15' is a little open-ended...and considering the general lightness and good humor of the thread content recently, is it really so bad?
As an aside: is there any new news of Francisco Franco?
Gotcha. Google definitely did not reveal the cut of that particular jib. Thanks.DennyDoyle'sBoil said:
I picked December 15, 2016, because that's about how long appeals take if not expedited, and because that date would lead to maximum inconvenience for the Patriots and their fans were they set to make the playoffs and a decision was issued that caused the stay to be lifted and the suspension to start. The point was that if something like that were to happen in one of Tom's late 30s years, one might wish in retrospect he had served the suspension instead during the first four games of 2015.
Also, I had a feeling it was your birthday.

Not to pile on Theo because he contributes a lot here, he's a great poster and he gets his balls busted enough, but his "sources" are about as reliable as Sharks of Vegas. There's been at least a dozen times he's cited "inside sources" in this and it's delivered bubkis.LuckyBen said:Did you hear specifics and wouldn't only Berman know when it was coming?

This is defamation. I'm going to sue!

Eh, you're forgetting that Lindley's development will be much further along at that point...djhb20 said:A suspension starting then could really hurt the three peat chances.
Same league that said with a straight face that It would be too expensive to put cameras in the endzone. Thanks, Mara.ilol@u said:[Youtube]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QJPDGxM1ctc[/YouTube]
Rewatching BB's 2nd conference about deflategate. I truly don't understand how the NFL can absolutely accept a flawed Wells Report and ignore BB's and Tom Brady's statement that was under oath. This is a billion dollar company. How the fuck are they so stupid?
BannedbyNYYFans.com said:Hubbuch getting destroyed on Twitter. I looked at his live feed...wow, literally hundreds (at least) crushing him for that video of Minihane. Fwiw, he edited it to stop right before KM says, "I'm just kidding".
Apparently he made his hysterical tweet that soxhop posted earlier today. Obviously, he didn't mean anything disrespectful but if you're going to have faux outrage over Minihane's comments, you better have a closet free of dumb remarks yourself. Joking around and using an explosion involving a dead cop probably wasn't the best choice. His live feed is a riot...check it out.
