I read basically everything on this (admittedly, I am a Pats fan, so I had a vested interest), the Wells Report, the Wells Report in Context (from the Pats), the AEI report and their statistical analysis, the appeal transcript, and everything released from this court case.  So, the misteps were pointed out by a few pretty exceptional legal analysts (Stephanie Stradley, and Michael McCann), plus, Berman himself indicated that just withholding Jeffrey Pash from questioning during Brady's appeal, was grounds to overturn the arbitration (You must be allowed to question your accuser in ANY court case).

There's a great deal of conspiracy theory we could go on here, but, I think Goodell relied on his legal counsel (Pash) a bit to much in this, and didn't actually realize he was stomping on the CBA and Federal Labor Law in the process.

fuck that guy.

I'm sure Gisele will be tonight :)



I suppose what surprises me is they didn't attempt to settle out of court when the missteps were clear to all. It sounds like they had little chance at that point.
