While Berman hammered at both sides, the key points came down to whether or not there was some sort of direct evidence that implicated Brady in the scheme.

Well, the point of the suspension is that Brady destroyed the likely source of such evidence. So this probing on whether the NFL has direct proof would be like someone being prosecuted for obstruction of justice and the judge saying "it doesn't matter if he destroyed the evidence, can you prove he did it?". Basically trying a man for one thing but the judge holding you to a different standard altogether.

Your boss suspects of you of stealing. Now, turn over your private cell phone so he can dig for proof.

It’s just agitprop for those who don’t understand how texting works and think they are only on the phone, or even only on HIS phone.

Here’s a tech magazine’s partial explanation of how it works:

Per the transcripts of the appeal hearing, the NFL doesn’t appear to have actually wanted the limited stuff from his phone either and declined it when offered.

Pretty knee jerk. I’m embarrassed for you. Try some intellect and think this through a little bit. Or maybe you are all rah rah about the NSA, or anybody else who demands it, being able to rifle through and dissect your private affairs at will.

You’re just dying to have someone, anyone run your life for you.
