Probably get appealed and then end up being 2.

 

[harSon]

So basically it pays to cheat?

 

[entremet]

Anyone know any streaming Boston sports radio stations?

I wanna bathe in some salty tears.

Damn, Simmons being muzzled right now too.

 

[inky]

So they basically got away with it.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

So can we start marking all the Pats' Super Bowls with * yet?

 

[Kurt Angle]

I don't know if America is ready for that face.

Tom brady is a angel like face, heavenly handsome

that new guy is more devilish........i dont know about him. It's like he's temping you to bite.

 

[infinityBCRT]

I imagine a number of people would make that trade for a Super Bowl ring, however tainted.

Yeah. Honestly, this is the type of thing that should get you banned for a season IMO. It basically destroyed the integrity of the entire last season of the NFL.

 

[GreatestHits]

Meanwhile, Coach Palpatine remains unscathed.

Most of us have been doing that for a long while now

 

[Haloid1177]

Reduced to 2.

 

[SURGEdude]

Cheating is now allowed. Patriots made way more than that fine by doing so

What I don't get is why a team with as much talent as they have breaks the rules and cheats as much as the Pats do. It just seems pointless.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

I appreciate this for all the reactions I'm gonna be witnessing around here. It should be amusing.

 

[BokehKing]

Boston radio is saying Brady will appeal and he will not be suspended any games once it goes to court

At least he has some more free time to digest the Wells report now.

 

[CitizenCope]

As I just posted in the other thread:
I can live with this. Pats fan here. As much as I love my Patriots I listen to sports radio much more than I watch their games. This is going to be a great summer with the Sox sucking too.
You can't stop Garopp!!

 

[jmizzal]

That all cheating gets you?

Concidering the punishment for balls not a the right PSI starts at a 25K fine, thats a pretty harsh punishment

 

[Spinluck]

I hope this doesn't effect the solid relationship between Colts and Pats fans.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

CHEATERS NEVER WIN!!!


err...wait...

 

[The Atticus]

Is anyone satistied

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

This isn't going to court.

 

[LostMyNarbles]

Damn, everybody in here acts like the single deflate gate action was what won them the Superbowl. They won the Superbowl because the Seahawks played like crap.

 

[Broank]

Holy Shit that's crazy.

Guess NFL decided it's going to be a heck of a lot more strict with ball meddling compared to all the past instances.

Can't wait to see that match up week 5, Patriots are really gonna want to wreck the Colts. lol

 

[djplaeskool]

I see this happening.
IIRC 4 games is the suspension length for PED use.

 

[Rhaknar]

what is deflate-gate? Sorry im European >_>

 

[Alligatorjandro]

NFL had to go hard after they got egg on their face last year.

 

[tfur]

Moral of the story...

cheating pays.

 

[Cipherr]

Probably should be more, but to be honest in the NFL and with the Pats, the football fans are lucky they did ANYTHING to punish them at all.

So just take it IMO. Still ridiculous and light punishment, but oh well.

 

[kingkitty]

Brady lied and the rules were defied.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

So does this mean their Super Bowl win is going to have an * next to it?

No, because if the NFL thought the infraction was such a huge deal they would have prevented the Pats from doing what ever they did in the AFC championship game.

 

[LyleLanley]

The NFL does have a pretty bad track record in the courts lately.

 

[friskykillface]

still got that superbowl W B^)


4 games is nothing when Jimmy the god is there

 

[Sephzilla]

Deflating footballs is that horrible of an action? I'm sorry but this has made me just question why I should care about the sport. It's basically a non-issue for me. Lions got robbed even worse, there was actually officials coming off the party bus of the other team and people are up in arms regarding deflated balls over actual officials being brided? Please there's no creditibilty of the NFL

It's honestly not a severe crime but it occurred on the road to that title, so I kind of feel like there is an asterisk next to their win. Not to mention the franchise has a history of cheating under their current coach.

The overall messages just feels like cheating pays off, even if you get caught.

WEEI is a joke don't listen to them. 98.5 The Sports Hub is what you should be listening to

 

[entremet]

I can't see it getting reduced either.

 

[Beefy]

I'm a Pats fan. But agree something must have gone on and they should get punished. I wait for the appeal tho.

 

[Dega]

So can we start marking all the Pats' Super Bowls with * yet?

Shoulda been doing that already.

 

[Cooter]

Why would the SB win be vacated? The balls were perfectly fine. That's like vacating a SB win because a few people were caught using PEDs earlier in the season.

 

[twinturbo2]

It sucks that the Dolphins don't play the Pats within those four games, because I would have loved to see Jimmy shit his pants in fear when he sees Ndamukong Suh on the other side.

As a Dolphins fan, let me gloat a little bit, okay?

 

[Spinluck]

God fucking dammit, I hate how handsome this son of a bitch is. Fuck him and his team. Hope he sucks ass in that wimpy dink and dunk offense.

 

[Nameless]

This all led to the Seacunts not winning another Super Bowl, so as a non-Pats fan it was totally worth it.

WEEI = Homer station.

985 has some actual commentary and non-homer bullshit talk.

 

[MLCodest]

So Brady comes back just in time for the Colts game, can't imagine that's a coincidence.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Performance enhancing deflation.

 

[Ninja Of Chaos]

Why is Brady being punished if they had no proof? That is really...odd.

Clever.

 

[TwntyOneTwlv]

Fuck. I'm straight as an arrow but damn if I wouldn't stray for Jimmy.

 

[Hunter S.]

Thankfully we both know he's not going to suck. He's going to lead us to the perfect season.

You know your multiple-Super-Bowl-winning franchise is in sad shape when the only thing that can give you joy is seeing the team that owns yours get cheated out of a win.
