Wow, Clemente really flew under the radar.

Telly is one of the greatest film villains ever. He is relentless. There is no niceness to him, when there should be at least one glimmer of it somewhere in the film. And then there’s his voice. It’s so crude, and effective.

I remember seeing this for the first time, and completely relating to it. This was exactly what we were doing, growing up in Scarborough, East Toronto. The hanging out on street corners, hopping public pools to drink beer on sweltering nights with topless girls, the sex, the violence, the police, the…

If Gene Upshaw were still around, he would have negotiated this down to a 7-game suspension.

But you’re wrong about the substance of the federal court case. They won’t be arguing about the details of the investigation, they will be arguing about the discipline process. The court can entirely vacate the suspensions and fines, but they cannot remove the undeniable and permanent fact that Brady was implicated in…

That’s a fine position to take until Brady needs to sue in court where the discovery process would require him to give the phone. If he intentionally destroyed it, he’s likely to lose the case simply on the basis of spoliation of evidence.

yes, but since Brady has been saying since Day 1 he’d fight this all the way to federal court, there’s this little rule called “spoliation of evidence” that prevents a party from destroying ANY evidence that may be ruled discoverable in court even when there is no present legal action; this applies to any action that…

Even a stopped clock finds a nut twice a day.

Here’s the ridiculous thing: they had the cellphones of the two guys they (the league) were accusing of tampering the balls pursuant to this “scheme”.
