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

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

Sure everybody hates the Patriots, kind of like we hate the Steelers, but I think this evidence was chicken shit. More probable than not? Generally aware possibly? When you start handing down punishment for evidence as vague as this you set a precedent. So when some bullshit charge comes rolling our way we won't have any right to bitch.
Let the Seacocks pretend that's why they lost.

Punch your girlfriend in the face and get two........................

Brady got off light - I was expecting at least 8 games (double Farmer's suspension) because I think that screwing with the frickin' FOOTBALL is a very egregious offense.
Patriots got thumped with the lost draft picks and Kraft having to write a check with six zeroes in it.
Love to hear all the whining up here - the Patriots fans are losing their minds! LOL!
GO BROWNS!!!

I'll bet it would be interesting to read a few patriots fans posts somewhere.
Although, I think it's a bit strange that this hammering of the patriots comes AFTER
this last draft. It hasn't been that long.....

Patriots' fans are like Browns' fans and like any other team's fans.
I haven't listened to Boston Radio or Sports TV because - quite frankly - I can, pretty much, predict what is being said.
At 38 (?) years old, maybe the 4 games off will help Brady in the long run.
The heir apparent now knows that he will be starting the first 4 weeks - also an advantage, given the circumstances.
I like the Pats and I like the Browns.
Fans are pretty much cut from the same mold.
PS Aaron Rogers has admitted to using over-inflated balls. In fact, he has been caught during games and the officials, simply, had different balls brought in. What is the difference?
Just another tidbit for ESPN and the NFL to keep the marketing going until training camps start.

The Number two cheater in the NFL? The Scumsburgh Steroidlers. Tied for next to lowest? The Cleveland Browns. Been saying this for years. Now here's the proof. http://yourteamcheats.com/

Interesting. Per this formula the biggest cheaters are:
Broncos 49 cheater pts
Steelers 46
Jets 40
Redskins 37
Colts 37
Ravens 35
Giants 35
And the teams that cheat the least are:
Jags 12 cheater pts
Browns 13
Cards 13
Rams 14
Bills 16
Texans 16
Chiefs 16
Bengals 16
Per what I read this scale does include PED use, but does NOT include issues relating to marijuana/other street drugs/alcohol...or things like domestic abuse (or having a player accused and convicted of multiple homicides)
