NFL argues against delay in Deflategate case

The National Football League wants the Deflategate saga over, and its legal team expressed as much in a court filing on Monday.

Lawyers for the NFL wrote “there is no need” for a 14-day extension sought by the legal team for New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and the NFL Players Association, according a filing made to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.

“The first pre-season game is just over three months away," Paul D. Clement, co-lead counsel for the NFL, wrote. "Time remains of the essence.”

A three-judge panel ruled on April 25 that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was within his authority to suspend Brady for four games after an investigation into the alleged deflation of footballs at the AFC Championship Game in January 2015. The ruling overturned a district court decision and effectively reinstated the ban.

Brady and the NFLPA requested a two-week extension, doubling the time to file a request for a rehearing — known as an en banc petition — in front of the entire Second Circuit.

If Brady doesn't want to follow the contract and rules, that his union signed with the NFL.....quit football.

Dear Lord, an extension??? They should immediately suspend Brady from all team and Football related activities and reinstate him after he then serves his 4 game suspension, beginning with the first game after this whole ordeal is over. Perhaps that way we can shut the door on it as it should have been when the original penalty was doled out...

I don't know First time I EVER typed it. Why don't you go and find the last time I said this and I'll give you that piece of cake you so crave....

 

[jarntt]

When are you going to stop arguing that a guy you said was guilty should let it go and serve his punishment like a man??? Tell us again about that slander suit he has brewing...

You're all a bunch of fucking broken records.

Probably as many times, that he thinks it NEEDS to be typed.

Take it as far as you have to Tom Brady.

The end will justify the means.

 

[The Oldtimer]

You're all a bunch of fucking broken records.

Yet you respond to those broken records.

Well said and I think it is clear that Brady is going to take it in the end...

Ironic right. Complain about a "broken record" comment by using a "broken record" response.

The court should just penalize Brady* and the NFLPA for wasting their time with this ridiculous appeals, just to satisfy his ego.

Once the court rejects the appeal, the NFL should add on 2 more games for wasting everyone's time.

Never knew Brady* was this stupid to not realize that the courts have far more important cases to work on than care for his torn labia.

But the courts were somehow full of spare time to hear the NFL's appeal about basically next to nothing?

Quid pro quo....

Yep, why should a poster comment about someone complaining about a comment?. If that person doesn't like to listen to a "broken record", then don't listen and don't complain about the "broken record".

Didn't the NFL bring this suite to the 2nd appeals court? It could've been over after the Berman verdict. Or it should've been over with a $25k fine.
So I ask you what should happen to the NFL for wasting the courts time
