"I would equate what [Tom Brady] did to driving 66 [mph] in a 65 speed zone, and getting the death penalty."

Joe Thomas

On whether commissioner Roger Goodell overstepped his bounds and might have been on a witch hunt:

“Oh no doubt. I don’t know if he just doesn’t understand the game of football itself, or if there was a deeper motive to get (them) back for all the other rumors and suspicions of cheating that the Patriots have done. But if you’re going to suspend a guy for removing air from the football, to me it’s completely ridiculous.”

On his feelings on whether the Ted Wells report was fair:

“The league paid him.” (Thomas then compared the report to an “expert” witnesses being paid for testimony during criminal trials.)

Ever been to the tower? I have... when it was still closed to the public.

the texas U tower?

wow, that must have been creepy.

reminds me of the drill sergeant in full metal jacket asking about who could pull off 2 shots on a moving target with a breech barrel. lee harvey oswald. and what was he? 'a marine sir!'

Only Steve Martin in Parenthood came close to making a joke of it. THe post was not by Steve Martin.

Besides I wasn't in the mood... having to deal with ignorant people in the football forum puts me off my usual, refined sense of humor.

On a side note, good to see you can't be judge, jury and executioner in the NFL.

No problem Mik! We're here to have fun too so I can't hold that against you. I thought my Nikes would taste a lot better than they did considering how much cake I dropped on them.

What was that? Oh yea, we made a bet that I would give you my house if Phil Taylor was cut. Good bet on your part.

Only problem: I don't own a house. The only real estate interest I hold is a half interest in a timeshare. I could let you use it and send you on a trip.

Edit: In checking....I offer to send you to Nuevo Vallarta in September to stay in a studio....you don't need more than a studio do you?

(of course, you are responsible for your transportation etc.)

Second edit: I will sweeten the offer and include Acapulco, Orlando, Puerto Vallarta, Atlantic City, Grand Cayman, or Austria. Again, studios.

For those betting folks... I would not settle as yet.

I'm no lawyer, but Article 46 of the CBA does not seem to prescribe actions in the areas where the judge "found" grounds for vacating the suspension. Seems akin to binding arbitration clauses we routinely agree to in the internet era, i.e. fairness doesn't enter into it...

Gip?

amazing how the right wing strict 'law-abiding' citizens' hate the pats and the northeast when it's the birthplace of our country.

no dickheads it's not plymouth, missouri it's plymouth massachusetts. the pilgrims didn't fly in from england on a 747.

Actually, it is Jamestown Virginia.....13 years earlier (if by "birthplace" you are saying...."where was the first English Colony established in America"

Or perhaps if you are just asking where the first European colony was established, then you have to go to St. Augustine Fla.

😛😁😆
