Ted wells report, $3 million report failed in their investigation to properly bring him down and win in federal court. keep in mind, judges like to stay out of these cba union disputes. thats what the agreement says arbitration is whats supposed to happen. they dont want this to end up in court. so theyre afraid and now they actually have to go after goodell. >> well see if that happens. its clear that even when tom brady wins, he loses in the eyes of the media. by the way, brady on his facebook...

That i found particularly interesting, brady didnt know that he could be suspended for deflating footballs. we should note here that at no point in that 40-page decision did the judge say he didnt cheat, he didnt deflate those footballs. he appears to essentially said that reasonaboger goodell did n the authority to suspend him for four games under the cba, the collective bargaining agreement. again, word now is that the league is going to appeal, so it appears that our long national nightmare w...

He loses this case would be punished to same degree that a player is punished for using performance-enhancing drugs. clearly the judge saw problem with severity of the punishment leveled by commissioner. >> no question about it. and what we saw in this case is the same thing we saw with ray rice, adrian peterson in last few decisions that have been overturned. goodell made it up as he went along. he wasnt following the collective bargaining agreement. nowhere in the cba if youre generally aware ...

>> but when you sign that contract with goodell and his friends, you signed on to it. >> heres what these lawyers did and why i say its a clever move. this act governs the relationship between an employer and the union, the whole union. theyre not saying that bradys decision individually has to be set aside. what theyre saying is that there was an illegally involved and that will affect the entire union. so theyre saying this is a big labor question. >> but therein lies the issue, because what i...

That. they never issued a correction on that. >> weve gone really beyond the facts of the case. unfortunately i dont think the facts in the case are going to be part of any of the hearing today or if it goes to august 19th. i think now whats at stake is the power of the commissioners office. the nfl players association and tom brady have decided to take this to court and to try to get a penalty overturned and the bottom line is the judge must decide if the commissioner was right to be the final ...

Suspension. when brady appeals it, who is the decider goodell. the collective bargaining agreement allows for that but this is not a really good process certainly not for fans. >> yeah. i think thats something thats going to be a big issue the next time the collective bargaining agreement comes up between players and owners. the players and players union has a lot to fight for to take away some of roger goodells power, and roger goodell wants to oversee the nfl, he is the commissioner. he will h...

The cba, hes supposed to be doing that. its hard. its one of the situations that has been dealt with for years and years through all of the collective bargaining agreements whether it was roger goodell, they have been the final voice of these appeals. but i think roger made the decision he had to make and they are all going to have to deal with this. >> jim, stay with us. rachel im having a news conference when we saw tom brady -- and im trying to remember exactly his wording when he was face-to...

Goodell should have recused himself because even though this is in the cba, there were enough other factors going on here that he shouldnt have heard the appeal of his own offices decision especially when he was called as a witness in the appeal. so this has been bizarre for the past month because at the appeal hearing, where tom brady is appealing a decision roger goodells office made to roger goodell, roger goodell, while being the judge and jury, was also a witness in this proceeding called o...

Have to figure out how to move in regard from there. >> alarming material there. there are even more troubling questions today that are being raised as a result of whats being reported were going to bring in our panel. alastair rosen -- and aviation attorney and jacqueline brunetti is a cba medical examiner. this is all troubling information, whether it be the transcripts or what other newspapers across the globe are reporting. the french newspaper says it has information about the long history ...

To boston. strap that team and city on my back. he was successful with that. the other thing we saw, he signed a two-year deal, right. nice, short deal. >> player option after one year. >> exactly. that gives lebron all the leverage in the world. >> once again, this is what lebron does. i wrote a pretty negative article about this for "huff post." the reason is, for me, i want to know where that loyalty was, guys, four years ago when he basically stabbed the back of every single cleveland sports...
