Breaking: Tom Brady suspended 4 games, 2016 1st rounder gone.
-
Who knows what they've done in the past and didn't get caught. Can't say I am disappointed.
The guy who called himself "the deflator" that disappeared with the balls in the bathroom before the game changed his story 4 times. Did anyone interview him or the other guy? What was to stop them from interviewing McNally and Jastremski? It seems simple to me if they wanted facts; talk to the two locker room guys who have worked there for years. Why did Wells have to rely on texts?

The Pats denied the NFL a second interview after they turned over their phone records.

Sounds like ball boys, Farmer and All Other Browns Officials including Haslem were willing to give up private phones in investigations. Brady's phone lifestyle to famous to risk, and oh yea the ball boy he does not know. Cost him 4 games. Fine and picks, Hell Yes it's the integrity of the game when all your people that handle the ball, all the sudden don't know the true weight and never fumble it.. The Whole Damn Scam should have cost them 2 Years of playoff games also but that would ruin the competition of the game... Pats Hater, Hell Yes and Today I Celebrate.. Cheers!!

Unfortunately he's going to be angry and absolutely shred the Cowboys in week 5.
Don't think he plays. The Bye is not counted as a game??

Yeahhh, maybe you wanna take another shot at that one...
I admit....I was shocked they weren't Number 1.

His bye is after the Cowboys game.
His Bye is Week 4. You got him week 5. His 4th Game is Dallas.. Live it up

Not a Cowboys fan but I don't hate them either. I was looking forward to that game.

Walter dead serious how are you always the first to write these things on the Board? It's impressive in an odd way.
They should have gotten more but I'm happy they did something. When the report first came out I thought for sure it was going to be a slap on the wrist and a fine.
-
What if Tom and the two deflators we're doing this for years? What if a team had notified the league long before the Colts game and the Wells Report was finished before the Super Bowl or even the playoffs?
It just seems fishy that Tom stuck to his innocent story and wouldn't cooperate. Maybe if he did cooperate he would have been suspended for the Super Bowl. He got off lucky because he got his fourth ring and all it cost was a million bucks and a draft pick.

If Brady appeals and they knock it down to 2, that's about right.
The million dollar fine seems right but that 1st rounder seems steep.

I don't believe this is going to be appealed down. He put the integrity of the game in jeopardy, lied about not knowing and didn't cooperate. He's likely going to stay with 4 games suspended and rightfully so. It's not like this is a first offense. Every single one of their titles has been veiled in controversy.

A million bucks for a Super Bowl not bad. I forgot about Bountygate and Sean Payton. Payton really got stiffed.
I really don't see this affecting the Patriots much though in the long run. They have an easy schedule and will still win their lousy division. The Dolphins might be a whole lot better but besides them they're competition isn't too scary. Gino Smith or Bryce Petty, Matt Cassell, Tannehill. I will give credit to Buffalo's defense. We'll see.

This is a controversy created by the media and haters. I'm no Patriot fan by any means but if you think every team isn't looking for an edge you're crazy. Every team in every sport is always searching for means, either by the rules or breaking them undetected, to get the upper hand on the competition. We all just happen to down play those we like and those that are irrelevant. The Falcons did something that definitely gave them a competitive advantage and was deliberate but no one cares because they stink. Only naive fans would think under or over inflating footballs is something invented by Tom Brady.

The Falcons like the Browns cooperated fully with the NFL investigation. The NFL stated the lack of cooperation by Brady was a factor in the punishment handed down. I am fine with the league sending a message that non cooperation in an investigation has consequences.

I think you're spot on with that take.
I don't like the Pats at all, mostly because of Bellichick's smug attitude.
With that being said, imagine if Art would have just sold the team and Bellichick was retained by the new owner. We'd probably have all those Super Bowls, the guy knows his stuff.
Sheez, I'm pouring a drink damnit.
