Tom Brady's four-game suspension reinstated by appeals court
Yahoo Sports ^ | 4/25 | Eric Edholm

Posted on 04/25/2016 9:00:29 AM PDT by TangledUpInBlue

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's four-game suspension is — for now — back on, per Reuters. The Second Circuit court has ruled in favor of the NFL, ordering the district court and The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit overturned last year’s ruling by U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman to to enforce that Brady miss the first quarter of the 2016 season.

NFL commissioner still holds the right to rescind the four-game punishment and declined to say last week if he'd enforce Brady’s suspension this season if the appeal was won, as it was. A fine is also possible, per Goodell's discretion, but many believe that Brady will have to sit out the four games.

Kraft made the same mistake the Saints did; he believed the NFL’s “Just admit guilt and we’ll make this go away” line.

Perhaps this was what the Patriots wanted all along, for the suspension to occur this year when Garoppolo had another year under his belt.

Dumbest comment ever, Brady had an incredible year, should have won the superbowl, there is nobody in the league like him, he has 10 years left. Look how young and fit he is at his age, the man is a monster in the NFL.

He destroyed the cell phone after providing the information asked for. That is, any texts or calls to the other parties were provided by the cell carrier. Why did the NFL want his contact list?

You really think he’s got 10 years left? Maybe 2-3, sure. But the Pats don’t want to make the mistake of hanging on too long only to see good QBs leave and get stuck with nothing when Brady is done.

The Packers and Colts were smart, when they let Favre and Manning go. The Broncos were stupid (yes they won the SB, but at what price?)

I’m from Indy, Brady always sucked, he screwed Indy, took every snap in practice, lost in the playoffs every year to Brady, he’s not worshipped like you might think he is here. And all those pussy little passes thrown in a dome don’t compare to the living hell Brady plays in outside.

Hmm, not a very smart comment either. Brady didn’t play in this year’s Super Bowl because he got trounced in the playoffs by the Broncos defense.

"Tom Brady is not the one who is suffering from "deflated balls". (sorry, my bad <^..^>)"

Oh boy, I am gonna go their. So what was O.J. Simpson, brain injured and never diagnosed ( NFL prolly didn't want to go their back in the day ), just pure evil, or a little of both?...
