football league will be siding with the nfl because of previous precedent. but make no mistake. this collective bargaining process, the ruling here is terrible and the nfl needs to get its stuff together. how do they do it, dave? as you said, it doesn t seem to be an objective arbitrator in this. right, and keep in mind the arbitrators look at this and say, hey, noum. with the players association and what it does with the other sports league, and that s that you have an impartial arbitrator that comes in when these disciplinary hearings take place. the question really is, if something that looks blatantly unconstitutional is collectively
righting, but he was blistering in writing, he said this discipline is ridiculous, has no legitimate basis. he thinks that the outcome was predetermined before the report was ever issued. he also disputed part of the disciplinary statement. he thinks that tom cooperated with the investigation. he thinks he answered every question presented to him, and he made it clear, tom brady will appeal this decision. don, he s got three days to do so. what happens during that appeal process? well, here s the catch. this ruling came from the nfl offices. guess who gets to hear the appeal? nfl commissioner roger goodell. now, roger goodell can appoint an outside agent to hear the appeal. that happened with the saints bounty scandal, and the adrian peterson. the outside arbitrators many times have knocked down the discipline that the nfl has ruled on. this is what his agent said today, quote, sadly, it

there might be some sanction from the league? i really don t know what the league is going to do. i ve just like everyone else have read that you know they re looking into everything and trying to determine what they want to do. the recent history of nfl discipline toward players has been fairly spotty at best with a number of players who ve been disciplined having their discipline being overturned by neutral arbitrators or judgers. so i really don t know what s going to happen. all right. what do you think of all this conversation now about your client s, tom brady s legacy and suspicion that this shows some sort of deeper character flaw and it s related, perhaps, to the taping of practices that happened under the patriots before, that this is part of a culture there that bends the rules or even just breaks them?
