You may not have a particular grudge against Pats fans, but I don't think I'm way off-base in guessing that mood affiliation is involved. (And all that other shit you're posting about now -- I don't think those conversations were with me.) I'm not sure how you're forming your opinions about things like what Berman wrote, but actually reading what he wrote would give you better information.

Fuck off. I read most of Berman's decision. Your biggest complaint with what I wrote has to do with a technical point of his decision. Maybe you're right that I should have distinguished whether or not Goodell's
power to appoint himself hearing officer in 'any appeal' was not itself found to be in violation of due process, but his
application of such power in
this case was (although, practically speaking, I don't see a difference--the judge is basically saying that the word "any" does not apply).
But the fact that you continue to assert that the judge has vindicated Brady (indirectly or not) of the underlying cheating accusation is just bullshit.
That said, I find his entire line of reasoning that Brady had no notice that he may be punished for engaging in a cheating scheme (or, to be specific,
this particular cheating scheme) to be absofuckinglutely ridiculous. The decision relating to Brady's inability to compel testimony from Pash or to review notes of the investigation seems pretty sound.
