NFL’s lawyer in Brady appeal is pressed to correct misstatements to Court

Mike Florio | Pro Football Talk | March 24, 2016

When NFL appellate counsel Paul Clement made misstatements of fact to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in connection with the Tom Brady case, NFLPA lawyer Jeffrey Kessler didn’t correct him. After the hearing ended, another lawyer with an interest in the case did.

New York Law School professor of law Robert Blecker, who previously submitted a “friend of the court” brief attacking the league’s handling of the Brady case, submitted a letter to the appeals court on March 17 detailing the misstatements of fact made by Clement on behalf of the NFL.

First, Blecker points out in his letter that the NFL’s written brief, as submitted by Clement, claims that Jim McNally referred to himself as “the deflator” in text messages sent to John Jastremski in May 2015 “and continuing during the 2014-2015 season.” The truth, as explained by Blecker, is that McNally referred to himself as “the deflator” only once, in May 2014.
