Before reinstating JJ and McNally the NFL wants them to accept the Wells Report. :q:Omar's Wacky Neighbor said:Ben Volin @BenVolin 5m5 minutes ago
The NFL confirms that the request to reinstate McNally and Jastremski from suspension is "under review"
EEI running with: if RG says the league never suspended them, then what exactly is the league "review"ing....

Yes, but even if the Pats acted first, it's clear that the NFL still basically suspended them indefinitely.yecul said:Schefter says that the league asked for the suspension. The Pats posted a letter that reinstatement would require approval. I'm not sure there's anything tangible that shows that backs up Schefter.
So it's possible that the Pats did it of their own volition and the NFL subsequently asked for a review. I believe Schefter, of course.
I was wondering what would have happened if Kraft just sent them out tomorrow without asking the league. How would "we never suspended Dorito Dink" Goodell have reacted?Stitch01 said:Pats should send them out for the coin toss against the Colts.

The Patriots' requests were sent to Troy Vincent and Jeff Pash.
This is pretty good.cshea said:Pats must've been told to send first 2 requests to the same address the Rice tape was sent to.

What about the other overturned (or reduced) suspensions before this one......(not shocking people think this...)Don Buddin said:FFS, Judge Berman vacating Brady's suspension had zero to do with race:http://espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/story/_/id/13612740/brandon-marshall-new-york-jets-race-factored-tom-brady-reversal
The NFL clearly included continuance of the suspension as a stipulation in the punishment. It's not that hard to see what game the NFL is trying to play here. They are hanging the suspension on the Patriots as an admission of guilt. "And since you've implicitly admitted to their involvement, we concur with the suspension and wish to enforce it."soxhop411 said:@CharlesRobinson: Sooo, #NFL absolutely, unequivocally didnt suspend the two #Patriots employees. But the NFL has to clear their reinstatement? Incongruent.
@CharlesRobinson: Simple questions: Would #NFL have suspended the #Patriots team employees if team didnt? And was that relayed to the Patriots? Yes and yes.
Only if he wants to join Aaron Hernandez in jail.djbayko said:By now Kraft should know to have his iPhone on record whenever he has a conversation with a league official.

Yeah, I doubt Kraft is spending a minute in court if he exposes NFL corruption against his team. If nothing else, he can use it as behind the scenes leverage.Myt1 said:Prosecutorial discretion.
With all due respect, I ask you Judge Berman, How can teachers and coaches expect youngsters to abide by the rules of fair play if their favorite player doesn't have to?
Berman was writing letters to TheoShmeo.WayBackVazquez said:LOL, wtf is he doing?
Can't wait to read TheoShmeo's letter.
He filed a brief, amicus omnium.WayBackVazquez said:LOL, wtf is he doing?
Can't wait to read TheoShmeo's letter.
That letter would've made me rule against Brady out of spite.WayBackVazquez said:
So are there any letters in support of Goodell, or is Berman selectively rubbing it in the NFL's face?Stitch01 said:Is there a link to all of these for non-lawyers?

JimBoSox9 said:You have to imagine the Venn diagram overlap between 'people who are legit crazy' and 'people who still send letters' is statistically significant.
Yes I see the Twitter for the guy posting the screen caps. Where is Judge Berman posting them? Is this a social media thing or is he attaching them to the case file?edmunddantes said:
