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.

Re: Tom Brady
 

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

Re: Tom Brady
 

Re: Tom Brady
 

:r :r Love it, Adam!

Re: Tom Brady
 

I have just pissed in my pants.:lr

I am stealing that from you.

Re: Tom Brady
 

:tpd:

Re: Tom Brady
 

:r

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.

Re: Tom Brady
 

Back at you Scott.
Your turn.

Between endorsements and modeling gigs, top supermodels make serious bank.

Re: Tom Brady
 

Preeeettty sure most people knew this was all a publicity sham. So what if this cost the NFL a couple million dollars? The league and ownership splits ~$9B annual revenue. I think once Brady was not afforded proper due process, everyone knew this was completely bullsht.

All Deflate-gate did was use a very public and well-liked figure, tack on an obviously ridiculous charge to troll people into following it, and watch people frustrate themselves over it; and most people did. NFL finally found a way to stay relevant through the dry summer months, Patriots made great sales of NEP products, and furthermore, Tom Brady may finally realize his political ambitions with this win. How was this not a win, win, win?

Re: Tom Brady
 

I believe the children are our future.

Re: Tom Brady
 

Yeah, and we know Goodell always wins on appeal. What's he batting, 0 for 4? :wo

Re: Tom Brady
 

Absolutely no way Goodell wins this appeal. Zero. None.
There's no way for him to undo multiple screw-ups the NFL and their lawyers made in the legal process.
The only plea they can make is "we didn't really understand the law involved, and decided it best to ignore our lawyers".

Carlos, that's your Fat Lady in a sparkly mumu singing "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" right there. :lr

Also, cake is better than pie.

Re: Tom Brady
 

Agreed, 100%.

Re: Tom Brady
 

I just want to make I follow this as I am slow.

So..........100% chance that there is a 0% probability of prevailing, 99.9% of the time?:r

I am such a sucker for nostalgia.

Re: Tom Brady
 

Brady threw four TD's against the Steel Curtain. :hm
If that's real punishment, give us more! :lr

Re: Tom Brady
 

Not nearly as much punishment as revivng this thread. ;) :lr

Re: Tom Brady
 

:tpd:

Re: Tom Brady
 

Gronk whooped our ass soundly last night.
The pain.

Re: Tom Brady
 

TB 12 hangs 466 and 3 TD'S over the the big blowhard Rex Ryan and the over hyped Bills.
Tom Brady with out a doubt the greatest quarterback that has ever played in the NFL.
Pats are on a mission this year, scorched earth baby!!!:D

Re: Tom Brady
 

Without a doubt?

I won't deny he can be in the conversation....but won't give you 'beyond doubt' or discussion

Re: Tom Brady
 

4 rings 6 appearances and he is not done yet still going strong.
Love him or hate him proof is in the record.

Re: Tom Brady
 

By that logic, Brady can never eclipse The Great Terry Bradshaw who earned 4 Super Bowls in 4 appearances. Right?
Bradshaw threw an INT for every TD he ever threw.
Aaron Rodgers throws td's at a 4/1 ratio.
Rodgers has a ring and has reached the postseason 7 of his 7 years as a starter.

Would I put Brady in a "top ten of all-time" argument? Hell yeah. He's amazing.
The best, best ever, or even best playing right now? No.
I'm pretty certain when Rodgers hangs his shoes up he'll replace every single question mark with a period. God willing.

Re: Tom Brady
 

I love me some Terry, but let's face it he was not winning superbowls because he was an amazing QB, he was being dragged to the finish line by some incredibly teammates.

Though, yes I know what you are saying, Scott.

Re: Tom Brady
 

Cam Neeley for President! :D

Re: Tom Brady
 

I'll second that:r

Re: Tom Brady
 

He's been President since 2005...technically.



Edit: but Brady still sucks

Re: Tom Brady
 

He was awful, Ads. Just plain awful.
I love me some Terry, too. I was being sarcastic when I probably shouldn't have.
But 4/4 still beats 4/6.
Bradshaw didn't lose any Super Bowls. So he's way better than Brady, obviously. :D

Re: Tom Brady
 

Bradshaw for the win! :wo

Re: Tom Brady
 

Yeah, but by the end of this season, Brady will be 5/7. ;) Probably 8/10 by the end of his career; unless someone whines about the weather machine Belichick keeps in his secret volcano lair. :D

Re: Tom Brady
 

4/4 is still 100%. 8/10 is not. :D
I don't see the Pats winning another Super Bowl until they address some major holes.
They're always prepared and sh1t-hot right now, but when the rest of the teams catch up in 6 weeks, they look beatable.
The Steelers and Bills played bad ball, and NE just slipped by.
And that's a bad argument because a win is a win, period. They're just thin and the bench is very shallow. A couple injuries is going to hurt them.
Were it not for Belichick, they'd be in trouble already.
He's easily the best coach in the game. By a long-shot.

Re: Tom Brady
 

I haven't been happy with their defense in a long time and the offense can't do everything. I miss Tedy Bruschi!

Re: Tom Brady
 

They still just keep getting it done, Darren.
Remember when Tom didn't have anyone to throw the ball to a couple years ago?
Didn't take them long to fix that.
A couple more losses and I think Brady's head would have exploded. :lr

Re: Tom Brady
 

Yeah, I remember. There would have been heads exploding all over New England. Still, they allow too many points.

Re: Tom Brady
 

This worries me the most. We can't just keep playing "Let's out score the other team" style of football. Give them a 2-3 more weeks and I think we'll see a defense more in control (I hope).

Re: Tom Brady
 

Per. Tom E Curren


FOXBORO -- It has to be driving the folks at 345 Park Avenue slightly bananas that the player they worked so hard to keep off the field has been the league’s best through two weeks.

The Patriots are 2-0 and Tom Brady -- out on parole, as it were -- leads the NFL with 754 yards, seven touchdowns passes, and hasn’t thrown a pick.

Interestingly, despite having the best performances in the AFC over the first two weeks, Brady’s been brushed past for the conference’s Offensive Player of the Week honors both times.:confused:

I would love to see Goodell get hit by a truck!!
