    Sorry, found it and Dad exaggerated ... now feel dirty that I watched him:   http://www.msnbc.com/newsnation/watch/nfl-to-appeal--deflategate--ruling-519598659813

    My father said he saw CHB on MSNBC today and he got eviscerated. Anyone see it and/or know where to find the archived video?

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    So, after hearing forever that the federal court wouldn't consider the evidence that Goodell/NFL used to make decision. Then, in their brief, they cite five reasons -- text from Jastremski to McNally, sudden spike in comm between Brady & Jastremski, evidence of McNally's request for memorabilia...

    Late Friday submission ... designed to ruin a whole bunch of NFL executives' weekend in the Hamptons.

    I can understand the players not caring previously about RG's authority on discipline ... it is not logical for him to be anything other than impartial in such situations. RG has created an artificial adversarial relationship with players over discipline for no good reason at all. It seems like...

    So, Berman will just see that Goodell upheld suspension based on the "fact" that Brady said he didn't talk to Jastremski about deflation when that was completely incorrect and is part of the record. THAT is part of the process, right?

    One other point from this morning ... and as a lurker I'll go back to listening mode ... but this morning listening to Mike & Mike, I didn't catch the early Cris Carter diatribe about Brady, and then had listen to this whole long thing about Ray Rice because they teased Schefter. Shelter comes...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    OK, so maybe this is for the other thread, but the way things are headed, Goodell is going to have to testify and be questioned UNDER OATH in a federal court about the process he and the NFL followed through all of this. I know there's a lot of discussion about the fact that Goodell doesn't get...

    If all of this gets more traction in mainstream media, expect the NFL to dump some other gem on Brady to make him look bad ... and of course it doesn't have to be true.

    New Florio: "If anything, Mort’s January appearance on WEEI shows that he wasn’t lied to by one person on one occasion, but by multiple people on multiple occasions, regarding key facts beyond the notion that the Patriots footballs were two pounds under the minimum. It’s also now obvious that...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    With the caveat that I concur with the general consensus that we have acquiesced to here, that things have inevitably gone worse for the Patriots/Brady at every step of this saga, reading this from Florio, holy cow this seems like an open and shut case for the suspension to be vacated...  ...

    The other precedent that the NFL doesn't have is making players admit to transgressions before reducing penalties on appeal ... PEDs being the most obvious example.

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

      So Goodell maintains that he is independent to hear and rule on an appeal that his own office handed down. Now, if Palantonio is to be believed, the very owners whose teams asked Goodell's minions to investigate the Patriots' ball pressure now have influence over Goodell's deliberations of...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    I agree with the periodic sentiment expressed here that very few of the substantial number of leaks related to this saga have had any semblance to what ultimately transpired and also that each time we think we know how something is going to go, it goes worse for Brady/the Patriots, beyond...
