Tom Brady's judge is salvaging Deflategate and putting the NFL to shame

He also pointed out that Brady actually played better with properly inflated balls in the second half.
“You might say (Brady) got no better advantage from the under-inflation,” Berman said.
The egos of two rich and powerful men are at stake in this case, as is the reputation of Brady, though some believe that has already been irrevocably damaged. The truth of the matter, regardless of who is culpable, is that Deflategate is utterly absurd and now it has become a drain on public resources. That a federal judge is being tasked with determining whether a four-game suspension was unfair and violated the labor contract of a professional football player because that player and his league couldn’t get along would be laughable if it wasn’t so embarrassing.
It is embarrassing, whether you support Brady or not, and Berman is going to make sure everyone knows just how embarrassing it is, whether he passes a decision or not. Ideally, Berman won’t have to make a decision – this is a settlement hearing after all. His tact on Wednesday was to seemingly illustrate the absurdity of the proceedings and humor both parties into an agreement.

If there is one person humor is wasted on, it’s Roger Goodell. This is a man who spends his Mondays in the fall fining people for excessively celebrating touchdowns. If there is one person immune to absurdity, it’s Brady. Have you seen his UGGs commercial?

No one is leaving these court proceedings looking well. But Judge Berman appears determined to leave laughing. Really, it’s the only thing you can do in the face of such overwhelming nonsense.
