Bear in mind that in every other instance of such obstruction, the league issued only a fine.

Not going to argue any of that. Although I have the feeling that there's some shit Brady and the Patriots did that we don't know about and there's lots of shit the League is making it seem is way worse than it is.
But Berman's decision really does seem to render the conduct detrimental language unenforceable unless supported by a detailed rule. And that makes it completely pointless.
