Brady suspended for four games, Patriots lose 2016 1st rounder

[IronEagle]

lose 2017 4th rounder and team gets $1 million fine. So of course that means if this holds up he won't be playing against the Cowturds.

[Raptor]

More importantly....

....both ball boys were fired.

It will be curious to see where this goes. According to the official checking the balls to the best of his recollection they were fine. TheY decided the outcome of the wells report and wrote it to match that outcome.

So...............

How many games did Andrew Luck get? (After all, the Colts balls were underinflated too)


Well, at least the integrity of the NFL is whole again!


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Pro wrestling at its finest.. How long till Brady flips goodell the double bird, kicks him in the gut and gives him the stunner?

Brady will appeal. A thorough and fair review will take place in an undisclosed neutral location...

this. i can see brady getting 4 games for his failure to cooperate and incriminating texts, but the NFL pretty much engaged in a sting operation, and there is the official that you mention. i can see the pats winning an appeal of the loss of the first rounder, at least with it being downgraded to a second or third round pick. the loss of a first feels like overkill on the NFL's part trying to protect the "integrity of the game" after a terrible year for the league.

Fuck those arrogant smug assholes. They cheated against the Eagles.

Sting operation? How so? They cheated. I'm not seeing the issue.

[Bardy]

As long as they still lose the 1st, I don't care about the rest

Would love to see our pick move from 32 to 31.

[harls]

Would love to see our pick move from 32 to 31.

I wouldn't mind seeing them punished like this if there was any evidence they cheated.

ryan grigson emailed the league about deflated balls in november. they should have warned the pats immediately. instead they waited two months. that is a sting operation and another failed investigation by the NFL. they're trying too hard to protect their non-existent integrity.

also, calling it "cheating" makes you sound like you're in second grade. this is something that every team does. the pats deserve punishment for being caught but the NFL should have gone about this WAY differently.

[TRENT]

SO WE GET OUR TROPHY BACK!!!

Ohhh yea that was spygate, thats right



they make me sick "the Pats and the league"....last year was an abortion of a football season,,,worse than than the strike season.

Except the Pats were not caught. They decided they were guilty of deflating balls when there is no evidence they were deflated.

The original suspension was probably for three games, until Jerruh made a call.
