He’ll accept it knowing he was damn lucky not to get a full season suspension.
Oh my God...are you serious? If I was Brady, I’d tell them to take away the punishment or I quit forever. That would be a tragedy for football and it would take a long time for the Patriots to ever get another win. NFL better tread carefully on this when the appeal comes through. Brady doesn’t need football, football needs Brady.
With Aaron Rodgers, Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson around for five or more years, the league would be just fine if Brady retired tomorrow.
The Patriots have a history of cheating going back to Spygate in 2007. As far as Brady is concerned he needs football, it's who he is, and right now his image is tarnished. He quits and the big bucks go away, no network is going to hire him as a football analyst (if inclined to do so) and pay him the kind of money he's making with the Patriots.
Football will be fine without Brady.
