A lot of posters in this thread either don't know all the facts or don't want to know all the facts.

Nothing in that article but speculation. You don't the NFL has their own army of all star lawyers?

Under the arbitrary and capricious standard, the league is going to have a difficult time explaining why the punishment was so egregious compared to those for previous similar infractions ($25000 fines under the CBA). The league is going to have to show why the punishment wasn't arbitrary and capricious.

Even under the "conduct detrimental to the league" standard, Goodell will have a hard time explaining what exactly Brady did that warranted the punishment. Keep in mind that the league doesn't get a second chance of proving why Brady's guilty; Goodell has to prove that Brady's conduct was detrimental to the league based on its findings in the Wells report. If the league tries to bring up Brady's non-willingness to hand over his phone and emails, the league will only open itself up to more issues because the CBA and guiding labor laws prevent employers from punishing unionized employees for refusing to hand over their personal phones, etc.

The league could end up having lots of egg on its face.

Just stop this nonsense

Anybody with half a brain knows that those ball boys did not deflate the footballs without Tom Brady's consent

No we don't have a cell phone video of Tom saying, it but just like the report says "is more probably then not"

I'm sorry you don't understand how this legal process works.

The point is that the onus is on the league to prove based solely on the Wells report findings that Brady's punishment wasn't arbitrary and capricious and that Brady engaged in conduct detrimental to the league.

With the report's findings, it's unlikely that the league has sufficient evidence under the preponderance of the evidence standard. The report has way too many holes, conjecture and omissions.

So legal jargon aside

As a clear minded human being, do you think that Tom Brady had nothing to do with those ball boys deflating the footballs?

It's not about who you know, it's about what you can prove. I don't know if he doctored the balls and I don't have enough proof for me to believe that he did.
