Judge puts NFL in hot seat as he belittles ‘Deflategate’ scandal
First, Judge Berman could order NFL general counsel Jeffrey Pash to testify at the appeal hearing, with the NFLPA entitled to obtain all communications between Pash and “independent” investigator Ted Wells firm, despite Goodell’s prior finding that the attorney-client privilege applies and that Pash should not have to testify.
The crowd outside the courthouse cheered Brady and booed NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell as they arrived at Wednesday’s deflategate hearing in New York, ESPN reported.

“I’m trying to figure out what is the direct evidence that implicates Mr. Brady in that deflation … in that bathroom…on January 18”, Berman said. Another example of Goodell’s questionable decisions is the fact that Brady has as long a suspension as Cowboys DE Greg Hardy.
Of course, Tom Brady would never tamper with the integrity of the game. Several people shouted “cheater, cheater!”
The NFL sued two weeks ago asking for Berman to declare that its punishment of Brady was properly carried out. If no settlement is reached, a ruling will be made by September 4th.

She also said Brady was tough to draw because he “seemed to be on his cellphone most of the time, looking down at his phone for most of the day”. Kessler claimed that the quarterback got rid of the phone on the advice of his agent to protect his privacy but had otherwise cooperated with the inquiry.
His goal the first time he had both sides in his court room appeared to be to expose to them the flaws in their arguments, ones they have become tone deaf to from the opposition.
In an email after everyone left court, Kessler said: “Sorry, not commenting”.
Kessler did admit that Brady should have responded better to Wells’s requests for information.
There was no word on the status of the talks. Well played internet, well played! Santa Clara police are still investigating the case. She also does not watch the NFL.
The 2015 NFL season is right around the corner and while the excitement will continue to build throughout the preseason, there is certainly a notable list of players that won’t be in their respective lineups when Week 1 rolls around due to suspensions. He can come up with a compromise in settlement talks, but if there is a hopeless stalemate, then it will be up to Berman to make the call. “… I can promise you that email was Amateur Night compared to some of the things people really said about me”.
