Maybe the NFL has been avoiding accusations of racism or maybe how the discipline is used unequally has just been a coincidence. They have to avoid that disparity issue nowadays.

The NFL was the only one with the data - and they would not correct the false reports. And Everyone knows they leaked this to ESPN. http://www.myfoxboston.com/story/29682365/patriots-publish-string-of-e-mails-proving-nfl-chose-not-to-correct-record-on-psi-misinformation FOUR MONTHS! All the calls for an investigation were off of a False planted Story! .

Posts: 52,053 Group: Tier1 Member #20 Joined: Apr 28, 2008	http://wellsreportcontext.com/league-failure-to-correct-misinformation/ I read the emails. To describe what I read, I'd say the NFL told the Patriots to F-off. It left me thinking there must be other owners behind the confidence the NFL Comiss office had in doing what they did. There may be much more to this than we'll ever know.

Funny you should say that because in New England they've been saying for about 6 years that Brady who has been good with his money (reportedly) wants to be an Owner after he quits playing. He's in the league like 16 years (I think Chatham said he'll be 38), and he hasn't had so much as a controversial tweet. This was a manufactured scandal. .

Chris Mortensen was going to reveal his source today - and its 4 a.m. sent a weird email saying you should not have made this an issue and Do Not Call. .

Goodell could have put the fear in Mortensen's reaction, but it sure looks like some owner(s) have to be backing Goodell.

Posts: 4,391 Group: Tier1 Member #65 Joined: Apr 28, 2008	Tom Brady, Roger Goodell court showdown set for August 12 It's a face-off fit for a marquee: Brady vs. Goodell, only this won't be so much of a rumble as much as a quest for resolution. U.S. District Judge Richard Berman, who is overseeing Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's suspension case, has set a status/settlement conference for August 12, according to court documents filed in the case, which is when Brady and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will meet face-to-face in an attempt to reach a settlement after Goodell upheld Brady's four-game suspension on Tuesday for his role in DeflateGate. Berman also asked that both the NFL and players union to "engage in comprehensive, good-faith settlement discussions" before the August 12 showdown. This comes a day after Berman told both parties to "tone down their rhetoric" and that the court is prepared to help the sides reach a settlement. The judge has also scheduled a status/settlement/oral argument conference for Aug. 19, which would again include at least Brady and Goodell. Both sides have until 3 p.m. Monday to confirm all the dates. Earlier Friday, the league and union showed they finally agree on something: They want the dispute resolved before the start of the season. More at link below.

And that's just the New England Patriots' side of intraleague emails that the team released Friday. From the NFL there was mostly dismissive arrogance, if any response at all. If league commissioner Roger Goodell was hoping the swirl around deflate-gate was closing in on an end, one that would take place in the cool confines of federal court, he might want to buckle up. Patriots owner Robert Kraft may look like a harmless grandfather but he's a self-made billionaire and one who operates by an old school, look-them-in-the-eye code and isn't much for anyone who violates it. Goodell violated it by Kraft's thinking and now this looks like all out war on the league office. Just as a federal judge told everyone to tone down the rhetoric, Kraft went scorched earth. On Friday the Patriots released a series of February emails from spokesman Stacey James and general counsel Robyn Glaser to the league office begging for the NFL to correct numerous erroneous and highly prejudicial stories that New England asserts the league made up and then leaked to ESPN. It includes an early ESPN report that claimed 11 of 12 footballs in the AFC title game were 2 pounds per square inch or more under the minimum, which turned the story into a scandal because it suggest significant and purposeful manipulation. In fact, the NFL's own measurements showed that story completely wrong and the deflation levels were far less, some even within an acceptable range. The Patriots were convinced the NFL leaked the fake story in the first place. The least the NFL could do, New England argued, was set the record straight. "What is unconscionable to me is that the league holds data that could very well exonerate us from any wrongdoing and completely dismiss the rampant reports and allegations of nefarious actions, but the league refuses to provide the date," James wrote to NFL spokesman Greg Aiello in an email that also complained about another inaccurate ESPN story that, citing league sources, claimed Patriots ball boys tried to insert kicking balls into the AFC championship game. "I cannot comprehend how withholding the range of PSIs measured in the game is beneficial to the NFL or the Patriots," James continued. "… if we had been provided this data within days of the original report, we could have changed the narrative of this story before it led all national news and the damage was done. It has been over 4 weeks and we still can't get a simple detail that I assume was available the night of the AFC Championship Game!"..snipped http://sports.yahoo.com/news/patriots--fight-with-nfl-gets-nastier-with-release-of-emails-005610492.html

The full unredacted transcript of the Brady appeal hearing before Roger Goodell. All 457 pages. https://nbcprofootballtalk.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/ex-204-appeal-hearing-transcript-t-brady.pdf After four hours of careful study, I find Daniel Wallach's comment the best of the evening. "Brady vs. NFL is the undisputed king of sports law cases (at least in terms of pure theater). Request to parties: please don't settle. Ever." https://twitter.com/WALLACHLEGAL

Didn't happen per Raven's coach. I wonder if a bunch of teams wanted to take down the Patriots? http://touch.baltimoresun.com/#section/830/article/p2p-84146923/ .
