If Brady files an injunction then he can drag it out in court for a long time no? Years even. He could play all of next season.

Why are people buying into this phone thing as being some deal breaker when the information source is Goodell's people itself? As if they are now the paragon of virtue?
If they had the phones of everyone else supposedly involved in the supposed act(s) then why would that be a deal breaker in the first place? Would not their phones have these supposed incriminating texts? Brady probably had some personal non-football related info on the phone that he didn't want people going through, things that may have hurt other people had they been leaked. May have even said some things about his ex Moynahan that could make his relationship with her and so his child problematic had they been leaked (and the NFL hasn't exactly been leak free). Just other possibilities other than some incriminating info. If they have no evidence, why would the phone be some deal breaker? It's a problem, sure, but they let Ray Lewis play with just a large fine after obstructing justice in an actual homicide case.

Do not question the integrity of the NFL. They would never purposely leak info to sway opinion.

Then I guess Rodgers should be suspended too. Can't have it both ways.

Yeah you as a Raiders fan have no reason to hate Brady and the Pats. No reason whatsoever. :redface:

swamp rats aren't the brightest people.
That was my first reaction to hearing they wanted his phone to begin with. You have the texts that he sent to the equipment guys so why would you need his phone? Ted wells said that they would only need any texts that pertained to deflating footballs, I think. With all the "leaks" the nfl has I would say fuck that, if I have anything I don't want people knowing about my personal life. But ya goodell is now the guy of truth and justice, even though people were just destroying him on the ray rice and greg hardy situations.
Ya that shit escalated quick. The only thing I can think of is he didn't tell them until the appeal but that would've leaked you have to assume.

If you get caught speeding the guy in the other lane going the same speed doesn't get a ticket automatically.
