Tom Brady posts statement on Facebook

"The regular season starts tomorrow morning and I can't wait to fully commit my energy and emotion to focus on the challenges of the 2015 NFL season," Brady said in the statement. "I want to thank my family, my friends, all of the fans, past and current players and my teammates for the support they have given me throughout this challenging experience. I also want to thank Judge Berman and his staff for their efforts to resolve this matter over the past five weeks. I am very grateful. My thanks also to the union's legal team who has fought so hard right along with me. "While I am pleased to be eligible to play, I am sorry our league had to endure this. I don't think it has been good for our sport — to a large degree, we have all lost. I am also sorry to anyone whose feelings I may have hurt as I have tried to work to resolve this situation. I love the NFL. It is a privilege to be a member of the NFL community and I will always try to do my best in representing my team and the league in a way that would make all members of this community proud. "I look forward to the competition on the playing field and I hope the attention of NFL fans can return to where it belongs — on the many great players and coaches who work so hard every week, and sacrifice so much, to make this game great. Most importantly, I look forward to representing the New England Patriots on Thursday night in our season opener. I hope to make all of our fans proud this year ... and beyond!"

Classy as usual. Oh, and Tebow got cut by the Eagles if nobody has posted a thread yet.

LOL! It has definitely been a rub the religious types face in it kind of morning.

Ok, joking about Tebow. I know there have been six threads posted already.

You really think that the NFL cares what the religious right thinks?

Actually I think Tom Brady is one of the good guys and he did the right thing here in fighting back against the unjustified suspension - which was obviously was an extremely poor decision by the commissioner.

After his football career is over, I expect that Tom Brady might get into politics as a conservative. He and Donald Trump are very good friends and they have a lot in common.

So I'm thinking we may have a trifecta going here of perfect presidents.

President Trump: 2017-2025
President Cruz: 2025-2033
President Brady: 2033-2041

I hope to stay alive for the entire 24 years. Hard to believe I will be in my 70s by the time Tom Brady finishes his second term. That's a scary thought.

When you consider the rap sheets of their "great" players, I don't think so.

Hey Hildy. What did you think of that Guadalupe mayor thing? LOL! A welfare queen fraudster. Gotta love it.

I heard Rush say the so called Deflated Balls were inflated to their proper pressure at Half Time and Brady performed even better in the Second Half of the Game.

How can that be? LOL

Brady has done his best here to teach children across America that it is ok to cheat.

Imagine playing a game of football and you see someone letting the air out of the football.

Nice to see a football player being humble and thanking everyone for their support. He is a stand up guy. Too bad more aren’t like him. The difference between Brady and Tebow is that Brady is a competent football player. That is a huge difference actually.

The other great lesson Tom Brady taught children across America is not to shake hands with your opponent when your opponent beats you. When Eli Manning and the Giants beat him in the Super Bowl the second time they beat him he didn’t go over and shake hands with Eli Manning.

Brady could run his own youth football league where everyone lets air out of the football and doesn’t shake hands after the game with the other team.

Great guy!

Brady’s credibility along with that of the Pats is forever tarnished except among the diehard NE fans.

Anyone who read the Wells Report and the follow up NFL Affirmation of the suspension would need to either a big time Brady jock sniffer like most if the sports writers or else ignorant at a galactic level.

Lol, Brady ADMITTED to obstruction all the while he claims he had nothing to do with deflating the balls. Why wiuld he obstruct an investigation into an incident in which he was not involved?

Let’s remember the Judge did NOT overturn the findings or the fines and penaties against Brady or the Pats, just the 4 game suspension and the NFL hasxappealed that.

I never heard that one before and I'm a big Patriots fan.

Here's some photos of Eli and Tom...they seem like they get along just fine.

Not sure about that. I think the court decision was pretty decisive - and damning for the commissioner’s office who obviously ran a witch hunt.

If Deflategate isn’t a disqualified for public office, I don’t know what is.

That said Sam Adams76 still rules.

Kind of an old story. I remember when it first came out. Nothing surprises me anymore.
