Is this satire?
Is this going to the Supreme Court?
Someone once said, “At this point what difference does it make”

Interesting. I think the original judge over-reached, but it will be very interesting see how this plays out. The original judge basically said the NFL cannot suspend a player for any reason unless it’s 100% in the letters of the labor agreement. This concept seems too restrictive to me, as it ties their hands with anything that has not been done before. The NFL should have leeway to handle rules broken in the game. Wherever one stands on this issue with Brady, and I can see a range of positions here, the judges decision was very heavy handed in the favor of players.
The NFL and Patriots really need to come to a reasonable compromise here. The loss of the first round draft pick this week is huge in itself. The NFL should be willing to cut the penalty, and Brady should back off his stand and accept 1-2 games and consider it a nice break from the 16 game schedule to save more for the post-season.
And if the suspension stands, Brady’s first game back will be in Cleveland against the Browns.
Goodell is going to be angry. He had this all wrapped up to Kraft’s satisfaction. Brady was never supposed to get punishment, that was just intended to appease other owners.
Let’s see- We have a secretary of state neglect her duty ot protect our ambassadors overseas, then turn around and flat out lie about what caused their deaths, and lie repeatedly for months, and then coldly say “What diff does it make”, She puts the nation at risk by using her home computer as her personal un-secured work computer, lied about it for months, then begrudgingly admitted to it but excused her illegal act as ‘no big deal’- and the media can’t be bothered with any of it- and then we have a quarterback w2ho let 3/10 of an pound of air out of a football, and the media are treating it as though it’s a major issue? A major defining moment in our nation’s history? Really?
The NFL under Goodell is more and more a corrupt organization.
This should be a lesson for those who want the courts to make decisions...it doesn’t always go your way
No more deflating footballs in the toilet.
can’t trade Garoppolo now...
didn’t brady just restructure his salary to some ridiculously low number to help the salary cap?
so losing 4 game checks at a low rate will not cost him so much and he’ll get it back later. good financial planning anyway.
