Yes. Exactly what I said.

I started to post a long response on the opinion, but I just don't fucking care. In any case, the judge was not tasked with determining whether Brady cheated or not, made no such decision on whether he did, and therefore the only vindication Brady has is based on Goodell's actions after the fucking fact, not on what he is alleged to have done.

Ha ha ha. No it's not. It's hard for a Patriots fan to come to any conclusion other than they each want to take Brady in their mouth.
