BREAKING: TOM BRADY SUSPENDED!

[Hank Kingsley]

So next up is the bargain Goodell and Brady strike where Tom goes on camera all contrite and shit, eats some crow, pays a big fine and gets to not sit 4 games.....

This is still America. Evidence is evidence.

Word. Moreover - rich people aren't supposed to be punished.



Fucking activist judges!

Cheating is illegal in the NFL and can go to court as such.

Uhhh, semantics, but, this is incorrect. It's not "illegal," it's simply against the rules of the NFL. No united states laws were broken when the balls were deflated, so there was nothing "legal or illegal" to determine.

[clemtheslowson]

Destruction of evidence is not something innocent people do. The law views this as at least an inference of guilt.

Bottom line.

There is zero chance his legacy isn't permanently marred by this and the other cheating acts of his team during this era. He's going to get into the hall, but good luck ever making a dime outside of NE again after he retires. He couldn't sell an ice cube in hell on national TV and no one will touch him for any other visible position.

He's become the Pete Rose of football.

You are so full of shit.

You don't want the NFL players to get a better deal? The owners are raping them. The media grossly exaggerates the value of their contracts. The players need better representation.

I don't care much for unions in general, and I definitely don't want to see the NFLPA get MLBPA levels of power.

 

[Manster7588]

I forgot how much fun deflate gate deflection was.

 

[WizardHawk]

You are so full of shit.

Do you all at least pull your heads out of the sand long enough to take a breath now and then? Or have you adapted to breathing out of your asses as well as talking out of them?

 

[NWPATSFAN]

I didn't read a word of that

Wow that hurts Dirt. Not sure I'll be able to sleep tonight?

This is still America. Evidence is evidence*.

* Until it is destroyed during an active investigation.

Don't polute his defense with facts.

Me either

But Mrs Hu and Mrs Cereal are sleeping over

 

[NEhomer]

Very surprised by this ruling. Not that the balls weren't tampered with or that Brady knew...of course he did. The evidence doesn't come into play here as that's not what the Fed court ruled on.

Goodell was apparently authorized to do whatever the fuck he pleased and was not required to demonstrate any proof whatsoever nor any reasonable form of protocol. He could have sent down the exact same overly stiff (Equipment Tampering $25,000) penalty with literally NO evidence at all. That's what surprises me.

Pats haters deserve to rejoice so congrats to all you betchez

Now bite on this. The Pats were the favorite in Vegas to win the SB and after losing their HOF QB for a 1/4 of the season only fell into a tie with Seattle.

* Until it is destroyed during an active investigation.

Per the Wells report. The phone was destroyed after Wells said they didn't need it. But don't let facts get in the way of your story. So it wasn't destroyed during an active investigation. Then again maybe you were there and have proof?

 

[HammerDown]

They could be starting Drew Bledsoe's dad and he'd do better than Brady.

Okay, now that might be a stretch.

 

[Thruthefog]

Tom Brady would cheat against kids in a game of Candyland.

 

[Across The Field]

Tom Brady would cheat against kids in a game of Candyland.

So would I. Kids today are little shits.

Evidence is what I say it is - NWPATSFAN

You at least must agree that air was let out of the balls correct? Who do you think let it out? Or how do you think the pressure change was significantly more than that Colts balls? What for you accounts for that?
