Just my 2 cents, but we know Berman is pushing a settlement and my take is today was all about him trying to get to the sides to move towards that. Reading between the lines, it seems he challenged the NFL's side more than Brady's which would make me believe he is trying to get the NFL to cave a bit. So then the question becomes, and others have asked this before, whats better for Roger: to settle or to have the ruling go against them in court. I think settling, with a reasonable settlement, leaves him with a dozen eggs on his face whereas losing in court is something he can spin from a PR standpoint and it seems pretty clear this whole thing is about PR for him.
