Minnesota court hands off Brady case to New York

[polamalubeast]

NFL 1, NFLPA 0.

On Tuesday, the NFL immediately filed in federal court in Manhattan a lawsuit seeking confirmation of the arbitration award that suspended Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for four games. On Wednesday, the NFLPA filed a competing lawsuit in Minnesota.

On Thursday, the Minnesota court stepped aside.

As NFLPA spokesman George Atallah said during an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show, the Minnesota case has been transferred to New York, where the NFL first filed the case.

While the NFL managed to avoid Minnesota, they still have to deal with Judge Richard M. Berman, who was appointed to the bench by a Democratic president — which means that Judge Berman’s overall philosophies and precedents will more likely favor labor, not management.

On Wednesday, Judge Berman directed the NFLPA to respond to the NFL’s lawsuit by August 13. The transferred case from Minnesota possibly constitutes that response.

Regardless, look for the NFLPA to swiftly ask Judge Berman to rule on the case by September 4 or, alternatively, to issue an injunction allowing Brady to play pending the outcome of the case.

Lol. Strike One.

Well, almost every NFL player voted for the new contract. Now it's not so good when it doesn't go your way. There should be a new word coined for cheating hypocrite.

There is. It's called BRADY.

Good news. We'll know before the season starts

NFL, union ask U.S. judge to decide on Brady suspension by Sept. 4

Tom Brady’s attorneys have filed a motion asking the court to rule on the player’s four-game DeflateGate suspension before the start of the season, the Boston Globe reports. The NFL has agreed, according to NFL Players Association attorney Jeffrey Kessler, and now it’s just up to a Southern District Court of New York to approve the motion.




By Aug. 7, each side would be required to file the motions regarding whether to uphold or overturn Brady’s four-game suspension.
By Aug. 14, each side would have to file their responses to the other’s argument.
Then the sides would work together to set a date to present their oral arguments before the judge that would allow a final decision on the matter to be made by Sept. 4.

Glad to know this is going to be out of the way and there won't be any last minute injunction allowing Brady to play after the Steelers spent two weeks preparing for the backup.
