Not to mention the idiotic penalizing of the Cowboys and the Washington Racists for "violating" the cap in an uncapped year. That probably should have tipped us off that the NFL was drunk on power, but I was too busy writing LOL Dan Snyder to understand that. Mea culpa.
Listen to this verbal shrug of shoulders from Mcnair. Moving Texans to right behind Baltimore and Colts on my list for hoping which team is the next recipient of RG's Broken Rules Punishment Fun House of Non Conclusiv/Nonexistent Rule Breaking

I don't think the answer he decided to give was very good. Both of these would've been better. But there is no good option.
And the quotes Jim just posted are pretty stupid. So I'm not defending McNair, but I think any owner who was asked that question would struggle with it.
That guy actually said "no one can prove they did anything, but they did something, and need to be punished." This whole bizarre thing needs to come to an end except it won't, because these are the people who run this league.

Agreed, those quotes are just silly. There is no evidence anything was done wrong, there is no evidence the balls were below legal levels as defined in the rules, and there is no evidence the levels observed at halftime raise any competitive issue. If you're going to make the 'level playing field' argument you need some of those facts.
His answer is equally true of a suspension of JJ Watt because a test, which may or may not have been his, tested 'inconclusive' for PEDs somewhere in Houston.

Clueless is a better word. If their guy Goodell says the Patriots cheated, they don't bother looking any further.
Actually it's like JJ possibly knowing that his teammate more probably than not took a banned substance (though no one saw the teammate take the banned substance and the test was inconclusive at best) but because we are concerned with the competitive balance of the league we will, without evidence, suspend JJ for being more probably than not generally aware that the teammate may have (again more probably than not) taken the banned substance which in all likelihood, given that the player improved after he presumably stopped taking of the banned substance, gave him no benefit what so ever and may have hurt his performance.

Had the same reaction -- be careful what you wish for.
I expect that when you know tens of thousands of people will be reading your work, and many of them will be looking to criticize you either way, you spend a little bit longer editing.
If Berman and his clerks a plenty are dotting their I's and crossing their t's to make the decision solid against appeal I can wait.

If Brady requires a stay to play against Pittsburgh, I don't want him to taking a single snap. He's going to be surrounded entirely by backups after Goodell uses his newly affirmed authority to announce 30 second before kickoff that he's suspending every member of the Patriots starting offense 6 games for..well, whatever reason he feels like.
What do you think the chances are that 3 or 4 SoSHers currently have created "Brady wins appeal" and "Brady loses appeal" thread-starters in separate windows, waiting for that first tweet with the decision ... just so they can be the first person to post it to the board?
and soxhop. Shit, they've both probably got different versions ready and have for months.brandonchristensen said:
Anyhow, I feel like we're going to miss it today.

"New England Quarterback Tom Brady wins court appeal in New York City against NFL"

I picture Soxhop with two laptops going, one thread ready to go in each, with his hands on the mice, waiting for his Twitter machine to ding so he knows which submit button to click.
Sorry if this is old news, but the court issued an order today saying that it anticipates issuing its decision by the end of the week. Not sure how long ago that order came out, but it seems to suggest nothing is going to happen today.
If Brady wins this, it's going to be a real shame that Paul Heyman isn't his agent. That would be a statement I'd love to hear. Super Bowl City.
