Deflategate was a sham, and the court just confirmed it
MSN ^ | 9/3/205 | LARRY NEUMEISTER and TOM HAYS

Posted on 09/03/2015 11:03:32 AM PDT by detective

At long last, this whole dumb national nightmare is (hopefully) over.

In a shocking announcement on Thursday morning, Judge Richard M. Berman ruled against the NFL, nullifying Tom Brady’s four-suspension for his role in the Deflategate scandal.

His ruling confirms what many of us have long thought — that the NFL overstepped its bounds in suspending Tom Brady, doing so with nothing but circumstantial evidence.

I won some money today.

I knew the Wells report and the NFL case were phony. I thought it highly likely that the judge would rule against the NFL.

A lot of people hate Tom Brady and believe the MSM reports so I found a lot of people willing to bet.

Goodell says he will appeal the ruling. Yet another bad decision by Goodell.

He just ruled on whether Goodell had the authority. He didn’t rule it was a sham. Brady is still dishonest and a cheat.

I doubt Brady would have destroyed his cell phone over a sham.

But, but it MUST have been important! The MSM has reported on it all the last few weeks!

Isn’t his wife a supermodel? Maybe he didn’t want their communications to go public?

I wish they would give the Watergate scandal a rest. I’m tired of DEFLATEGATE! HILLARYGATE. KATRINAGATE!

Goodell works for Kraft. But he had to make it look like he wasn’t giving them a special break. Goodell treats teams he’s friends different than the other team. Patriots will not be seriously punished no matter what they do.

The NFL pretty much admitted they had no evidence

You sir are a moron. The NFL admitted in Court and the Wells report that they couldn’t show any deflation. This from people who produced that 2nd hand smoke produced no health issues. The Judge quoted the Wells report on this in his decision today.

Steve McIntyre who debunked the Mann hockey stick eviscerated the Exponent ‘science’ here.

Headsmart back in January did experiments showing that the balls behaved the way the Ideal Gas Law dictated.

How many times are you going to post this latest example of judicial overreach?

Is this one of those, “If I tell myself this often enough, maybe I’ll start believing it ... “ deals?

Anyone here who thinks we’re spending too much time, and paying too much attention to a cheating pro football team, I suppose they can lay their complaint on your doorstep.

Btw, the Patriots cheated because Thomasina has little girl hands. Heh

Right after Tom Brady won his Deflategate case he received a phone call. It’s not unusual for a Super Bowl winning football quarterback to get a congratulation call from the President.

But instead of hearing Obama on the other end of the phone, Brady is surprised to hear it is Hillary Clinton, asking how he managed to destroy criminal evidence and still get off Scott free.

Like pre-Columbian North American forestation and your burning Trump animus, this looks like another categorical statement that you have pulled out of your pants and for which you have no proof, GeronL.

The NFL suspended Brady because they had proof.

Like Obama & Co., the Deflatriots found a friendly judge.

Headline in the Telegraph that Gisselle had talked to a divorce lawyer. Brady was not going to turn his cell over and see it in the tabloids the next day.
