Yes. By lite beer swilling, NFL jersey wearing, loudmouth, talk-radio-show-calling morons.
Roger Goodell is at the root of this whole debacle. An equipment violation? NFL rules put the punishment at a $25,000 fine. A four game suspension, two lost 1st round picks and a $1 million fine? Everyone involved except Goodell thinks that is over the top an egregious.
If he had simply fined the team as per the rules, this would have been over in a week.
The league can do what it wants, but so can Brady, and Brady is their big draw, especially with Manning now retired. Brady should quietly leak that he is tired of the crap and will retire. The NFL will shape up real quick.
With underinflated balls.
In the corporate world, he would be fired. As in Martha Stewart's case, jailed.
He makes the league better, so do the time early. I suspect he will say he is fighting this, but as training camp ends, he will quietly sit.
Brady is a big draw? Did you watch the Super Bowl? Did you hear all the boo’s he got when he walked out?
Gisele would disagree...
Waaahh.
Whatever you are referring to, being booed doesn't mean he is not a big draw. People love him or hate him. Especially outside Boston people hate him. But that doesn't mean people don't watch the Patriots play.
If the game balls were altered due to Brady’s preferences and they were outside the rule specifications then he should be punished. The extent of punishment would be the only grounds for disagreement imo.
Martha Stewart's crime was not insider trading.
I think it was during the pre-game they brought out previous Super Bowl winners and Brady got tons of boo’s. I hate the guy and I still felt a bit bad for him.
I only watch the Patriots if they are playing a team I like. Although I will say, if he ever plays against a team with Micheal Vick on it, that’s the only time I would ever cheer for Tom Brady’s team.
Clearly you have not followed this story in it’s entirety including the lies, obfuscating. And coverups by Brady and the other people involved.
Suggest you read story
Third. It’s really stupid.
MIT, and several others posted actual studies showing what happens to the air pressure of balls in the cold. Each study concluded that Goodell and Co. were a kangaroo court that didn't know their ass from their elbow.
Only bitter fans of other teams actually believe this crap.
Amen, brother Sharkie.
Martha Stewart's crime was not insider trading.
What I understand is this: Brady destroyed his phone every four months and has since he married Giselle. He told the NFL way ahead of time he was going to do that, and was told that would not be a problem by that same NFL. When Goodell went all in to this nonsense, they used that destruction as a PR point to fool the Brady haters.
The NFL is notorious for leaking crap. If you were married to the number one supermodel in the world, would you turn your phone over to them?
I didn't think so.
Also, they got and examined the ball boys phones and records, and there were zero texts that showed anything.
Brady haters are the best. Bitter, envious, and crazy. I love it.
I posted what he said.
It's everywhere.
Enjoy yours and your bitterness.
