Breaking: Tom Brady suspended 4 games, 2016 1st rounder gone.

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.

Drink a beer, get a year, lie and cheat to score and get four.
Another great dealing of "punishment" Rodger *sarcasm*

I guess Goodell decided not to issue an apology to Bob Kraft. This is a lot more than I expected. I thought Brady would get the 4 games, which they will reduce to 2......but a 1st round pick? I think that is a slap at Kraft for being an arrogant asswipe. Something I never expected.
It must have something to do with the fact that this may be considered a second or third offense.

I was calling it as a four game suspension- didn't expect the draft picks.
The Pats denied the NFL a second interview after they turned over their phone records.
Coverup, non cooperation is what got them hammered.

Sorry, Belicheat makes a living off of bending the rules.
This is saying- "you better not get called into the principal's office again Cheatriots. The NFL threw the book at them for having the arrogance- at least in the League Office's opinion- to tell them- F**k off, we didn't do anything wrong.

As long as Jimmy G can throw a slant pass five yards the Pats fans won't even notice Brady is missing

Because of all their superstar receivers and stud OL? And their blue chip RB?

Jimmy G is going to do pretty damn well
