at the end of the day, Roger is hoping the judge rules that he acted within his power. While I have no doubt that if the facts of the case come into play that Brady will be exonerated by any third party referee, I'm not as confident about the court ruling Roger exceeded his authority. IMO, there's a slight chance the NFL wins that one. There's no chance they win if the court accepts the case.
Roger manipulated everything to put him in this position, which in and by itself jeopardizes the integrity of the game.
Wells cannot be called an independent investigator, his firm as been hired to represent the NFL
Roger lets his assistant make the initial ruling (really? is anyone stupid enough to believe that?)
Since his assistant made the initial ruling, Roger ruled that he can hear the appeal (seriously?)
if that bullshit doesn't set off alarms, than nothing will. You probably think stuff like Obama cut the deficit in half in his first term and you can keep your health plan if you like it.
the issue Brady's team has to hurdle is whether or not Roger acted in accordance with the terms of the players' agreement. If the judge says he didn't, Brady won't miss one game
