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.

“this was no 2-2 tie”

I know. My point was that of the 4 judges that heard the case 2 felt that Goodell and the NFL were so dishonest as to meet the extremely high bar for overturning an arbitration decision. The other two ignored Goodell’s actions and just said that it did not matter if he was dishonest, they would not overturn the decision. None of the judges ruled that Brady was guilty of the charges.

On appeal, Brady should win. Goodell and the NFL were way too dishonest, even given the extremely high bar set for overturning arbitration decisions.
