“The appeals court ruling reinforced the CBA that gave Roger Gooddell the right to make the decisions he made. Their decision was not based upon science, physics, or even Ton Brady’s actions.”

The original judge and one of the three appeals judges felt that Goodell’s behavior was so dishonest that it met the extremely high standard required to vacate the arbitration ruling.

That means 2 of the 4 judges felt that way. It is true that judges are very reluctant to overturn arbitration rulings and will only do so when the evidence of dishonesty is so overwhelming that it meets the extremely high standard.

Goodell and the NFL have been that dishonest. The decision deserves to be overturned.

I disagree. The first judge (District Court) was over ruled by a 3 judge panel (appeals Court). You can try to spin it as some tie goes to the runner argument but this isn’t baseball and this was no 2-2 tie.
