I would be more worried if I was her, she makes way more than he does,

Re: Tom Brady
 

Personally, I like Fran Tarkenton as a quarterback.

Deflategate hasn't been easy on him. Even he is human.

Re: Tom Brady
 

I figured these guys would settle for 2 games. Huh.
There's a 40 page ruling on this, and the few findings I saw were just plain stupid on the NFL's part. They can appeal till the cows come home, it's unwinnable.

And by "just plain stupid", I mean the NFL wouldn't let Brady's lawyers depose a witness or share evidence.

Now, tell me this...
With all the lawyers at the NFL's disposal, they had to tell Goodell how this would play out if he didn't play ball.
It was unwinnable.
To me, it seems he played it that way on purpose. Almost had to. He is not a stupid man, not by a longshot.

Just another "keep the NFL in the spotlight in the offseason" contrived soap opera, if you ask me.

Re: Tom Brady
 

Interesting article in USA Today citing judge's verbiage in ruling.

Says:
"Brady had no notice that a “general awareness” of misconduct by others could lead to discipline."

Say what?:lr

Re: Tom Brady
 

Deflate the hate!

Brady and Patriots for Super Bowl champions again!!!! Yes!!!!!!!

Re: Tom Brady
 

you are absolutely right with the spotlight on the offseason, you wouldn't even know we had three (four if you count soccer) sports teams in town by listening to the sports radio since this started.

Re: Tom Brady
 

His real punishment is having to throw properly inflated balls and watching them bounce off of his recievers hands as well as watching the running backs fumble at a rate closer to the league average, not the improbably low average they have had over the last 7 years.

Re: Tom Brady

That's exactly why I don't understand the complete disdain for Goodell. NFL is national topic of conversation and/or news almost every day. We're still a week away from the first game of the season.....and all off-season we have NOT been talking about concussions or outrageous ticket prices.....or even wife beaters, child beaters or cell-mate killers. Seems to me he's getting the job done even if cheaters get away with one.

Re: Tom Brady
 

Not with that secondary you're not.

Re: Tom Brady
 

double post.

Re: Tom Brady
 

Meh, even if true, she has a higher net worth than he does.

Re: Tom Brady
 

Holy crap!
Nearly three times as much as him.
Who would have thunk it,

Re: Tom Brady
 

That means every high school and college as well as professional athletics program will necessarily need to revamp their rule books to include, "if you are dumb enough to get caught then there will be punishment commensurate with the degree of the cheating."

If they dont then it is proof that sportsmanship is dead and its all about the money.

Re: Tom Brady
 

I just give thanks that it's over. My wife worships Tom and is totally thrilled. I think if I had a Tom Brady mask on when she gets home I'd get lucky big time.:noon

I have just pissed in my pants.:lr

I am stealing that from you.

You guys obviously did not hear of the forthcoming appeal.
However, NFL will not fight for a stay of the judgment in the meantime, meaning he will play for now.

Fat lady has yet to sing unfortunately.
