Just got out of court. #Patriots better not trade Garoppolo because Kessler got HAMMERED by the judges
Judge Denny Chin: “The evidence of ball tampering is compelling if not overwhelming.
Judge Parker on Brady destroying his cell phone: “Mr. Brady’s explanation of that made no sense whatsoever.
Mr @WALLACHLEGAL, who was in the courtroom, says “Brady is staring down the barrel of a 2 to 1 defeat.
Brady and Goodell were not expected to be in attendance for the meeting, but it doesn't seem as if Jeffrey Kessler, the NFLPA's lawyer, will have good news to give Brady.
The league is not just trying to suspend Brady — it's also trying to set a precedent with this hearing.
Its image took a hit when it was beaten in court by Brady over the summer. So, regardless of costs, the NFL is trying to protect its image. Losing to Brady not only casts doubt on Goodell's power to punish players, but it could also encourage other players to fight their own punishments after seeing Brady win in a court case.
According to Volin, a two-thirds vote is needed for either side to win the appeal.
If the NFL once again loses, it could file for another appeal, which would reportedly go to the US Supreme Court. This case could once again be an issue for several months, but in the latest update, it sounds like the tide could be turning against Brady.
