Can see why Kessler has a strong reputation as a litigator. Very animated, theatric and engagingby Ben Volin via twitter 8/12/2015 5:49:15 PM -
Private settlement talks stretched into mid-afternoon.Brady seemed miserable throughout a hearing lasting more than an hour in Manhattan federal court. He didn’t join the laughter of lawyers at several points, and slumped in his chair and kept his head lowered throughout the hearing.Those moments included when Judge Berman said he would ‘‘take exception’’ to an NFL players union lawyer’s assertion that Brady’s life is much different than their own lives. The lawyer was referring to Brady’s need to destroy and change cell phones to protect his privacy.— The Associated PressRachel G Bowers, Producer 8/12/2015 5:58:46 PM -
Court reporters discussing how Berman's skepticism shouldn't be mistaken for how he would rule. Law regarding CBAs is big hurdle for Bradyby Stephen Brown via twitter 8/12/2015 6:01:25 PM -
Pretty funny that Judge Berman kept referring to it as the "AFL Championship Game." Old schoolby Ben Volin via twitter 8/12/2015 6:21:03 PM

Rumor is that cars to pick up Goodell and Brady held up in traffic, delaying their departures from court.by Stephen Brown via twitter 8/12/2015 8:52:13 PM

Roger Goodell was also all smiles as he left the courthouse. Heard one supporter say "Good job! No more deflated footballs!"by Stephen Brown via twitter 8/12/2015 9:31:48 PM

Kessler admitted Brady wasn't fully cooperative RT @Sports_Politic @BenVolin barely touched Brady side. Annihilated NFL. Try to be objectiveby Ben Volin via twitter 8/12/2015 10:24:03 PM

And Berman stated at the onset that the ferocity of his questioning has nothing to do with which way he is leaning twitter.com/MassAttack05/s…by Ben Volin via twitter 8/12/2015 10:27:43 PM

I don't think either side "won." I think the judge tried to poke enough holes in each side to encourage settlement twitter.com/MassAttack05/s…by Ben Volin via twitter 8/12/2015 10:33:47 PM

Brady seems willing to only accept a fine. Not sure if NFL will go that low RT @Banderson413
@BenVolin in your opinion is settlement likely?by Ben Volin via twitter 8/12/2015 10:39:18 PM -
I agree RT @bgpowelll @BenVolin 2 picks, a team fine and a Brady fine is more than enoughby Ben Volin via twitter 8/12/2015 10:41:26 PM

Berman really zeroed in on legal definition of a "conspiracy" and said he didn't see much evidence of one in the AFC championship game.by Stephen Brown via twitter 8/13/2015 2:53:29 PM

But Berman made a point to note that Brady almost certainly knew he was throwing deflated balls (tho Brady camp doesn’t concede that)by Stephen Brown via twitter 8/13/2015 2:54:02 PM

Lastly, worth noting what Berman didn’t say. He didn’t challenge NFL on their argument that Goodell’s authority is enshrined in the CBA.by Stephen Brown via twitter 8/13/2015 2:54:33 PM
