bulking up and trying to look more like Bruce Wayne.

You have to admit even with the boston sports fan stuff he made some sense about it now being about protecting Goodell, and if it was any of the 31 other teams it would of lasted a few weeks and never to be spoken about again. Its still all about getting back for spygate. and to try and make Goodell not look like a tool.

It's Botox gone wrong. His cheeks don't move when he talks. The only movement is his eye brows raising, everything else is static and stationary. So wrong....
Perhaps it isn't a Botox thing but a Boston thing

I was thinking botox or plastic surgery, but youre right its the boston thing

Afflecks voice was off a bit there, either he'd downed a drink or twenty before hand or the botox is making him sound like he's had a mild stroke.

A decision from the Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeal on Tom Brady's Deflategate suspension could be coming in the next week.

Legal experts predicted it would take the court between 3-6 weeks to make a ruling and Monday will mark five weeks from when the appeal was filed. Brady asked for an en banc hearing after the court upheld his suspension by a 2-1 vote on April 25. It's been 17 months since this ordeal began and we're still no closer to reaching the finish line.

Why's Ben Affleck getting interviewed? What's his special ******* football insight?

He is a big name in Hollywood and would draw a big audience for the first episode of Any given Wednesday. Its not a pure sports show anyway.

He's a Pats fan and will get the greasy neck beard wearing Bostonian's riled up with his rant

Correct answer.

 

[AmericanCrow]

I believe some of us had this...

 

[AmericanCrow]

And if Patriotfan thinks the Supreme Court is going to hear this case you are all more delusional than previously thought.

 

[raven echo]

Roe v. Wade.

Brown v. Board of Education.

Brady v. NFL. Just doesn't have the same ring to it

 

[Exe Gesis]

Brady vs Common Sense does tho

Problem is that Brady and his legal team and his fanbois are waging the wrong battle. This was NEVER about whether the damn footballs were inflated or not. They can wish it was and cry that it should be---but it never was.

It is about a collective bargaining agreement--no more no less.

Worst thing that ever happened was the idiot District Judge tried to make it about deflated footballs. It provided 6-8 months of ammunition unnecessarily.

Collective bargaining agreement allowed the Commissioner wide latitude in area of discipline, period end of story.

Courts (except idiots on the bench suckered into the limelight) will not get involved in collectively bargained agreements. If they did--there would be no such instrument because EVERYTHING would go to Court all the time.

Brady and his legal team tried to make it about deflated balls for one reason and one reason only---the law was NOT on their side.

It was about not handing over his phone at the behest of Commish.

Given Brady has accepted the suspension and instructed the NFLPA to take it to SCOTUS, you've got to wonder, sitting out 4 games and losing the accompanying wages, is there an even bigger play at hand here? Strikes me as a move to establish irreparable harm. Mind you, AmericanCrow finally came through and he's up 2-1 on me now so who knows.

While Tom Brady has accepted his four-game suspension, the NFL Players Association is still considering taking the case to the Supreme Court.

"We will continue to review all of our options and we reserve our rights to petition for cert to the Supreme Court," said the NFLPA in a statement released on Friday. 544 days of Deflategate were enough for Brady but the NFLPA isn't ready to throw in the towel just yet. Brady will still serve his suspension but if the NFLPA takes the case to the Supreme Court and wins (an extreme long shot), the NFL would return Brady's four game checks, which amount to $253,000. By taking the ban, Brady decided he'd rather miss the Patriots' first four games than serve his suspension later in the year. We think he made the right call.
