Brady 4 Game Suspension Upheld

[Rastak]

A subtle shot but very effective........"a heralded independent investigation".....funny.

(S.D.N.Y. 2007). As co-lead investigator and senior executive with the NFL, Pash was in the
best position to testify about the NFL 's degree of involvement in, and potential shaping of, a
heralded "independent" Investigation. The issues known to Pash constituted "evidence plainly
pertinent and material to the controversy," Tempo Shain, 120 F.3d at 19 (quoting 9 U.S.C. §
35
10(a)(3)), and Commissioner Goodell's refusal to hear such evidence warrants vacatur of the
Award under9 U.S.C. § 10(a)(3).
