Everyone cheats. Everyone is on PEDs. All teams are shady. No one cares. I don't even see why this is a big deal.
Where do you draw the line though? Multiple teams have been found cheating one way or another whether its the organization or individual players. If you vacate wins already in the past you gotta keep doing. Pretty sure the league will look silly when half their championships have asterisks.

The site is admittedly biased in their tone, but they do back up their facts when they can.
no, we're not allowed to post about football. we're posting about football.
hahaha
Thank you!

I have no issues with NFLers being on PEDs honestly. They mostly use for recovery anyway as they are genetic freaks.
They also put their bodies through hell and the risk of brain damage. They can take as much PEDs they want to IMO.

I support only certain kinds of cheating.

Do we get to have anime Sunday in this thread too?
But you still have to live there. I don't see anything but a Pyrrhic victory.
OMG.
edit. The midday guys are big jets homers, so take everything they say tongue in cheek. As for the punishment, fine is negligible, draft picks don't matter when the Pats trade down every year, and Pats have the easiest schedule this year. The mornigh show guys, Boomer wanted a punishment, and Carton couldn't care less.
I don't use the word 'hero' lightly, but Eli Manning is the greatest hero in American history.
Tebow wishes he was imbued with this much of God's grace. That puppy was dead before He-Li picked it up.

good riddance
New England would be a better place to live if the Pacific Northwest didn't steal all the warmth for itself this winter.
Well, just think about a sport that you do know jackshit about. Now imagine it is one of the most popular sports out there. Now imagine that the star player on the team that won the championship blatantly cheated the rules and deliberately lied about in public.
It really isn't, the punishment was more about them not complying with the report (not giving up texts, not making the one employee available for a second interview) more than the actual crime.
Its not a big deal but this punishment is more for how Tom Brandy acted during the investigation not cooperating and being forthright. The rest is due to the teams history. Plus if you get caught on PEDs you get a 4 game ban for a first offence. Trying to deflate balls is trying to get a competitive edge same as a PEDs so he got the same ban. NFL logic not mine. To me this is the NFLs ego saying no one is bigger then the NFL and is above our rules and supposed image especially after how bad they looked last year after Ray Rice.

If I was Tom Brady, no fucking way I would hand over my cellphone.
I'm a celebrity, my wife is a celebrity, both mothers of my children are celebrities - and you have no idea who these "independent investigators" are.

lol people think the formations were illegal and they spied on the rams still? In 2015?

If this punishment sticks, Belichik is going to run the score up into triple digits against the Colts in Week 5.
And he'll stop at nothing to do it!
Don't forget the Tuck Rule!
Tom Bradys stats in the 2014-15 playoffs:
Likely deflated balls:
Vs. Baltimore: 33/50, 3 TDs, 1 INT, 367 yards (twice came back from 14 points down)
1st Half vs. Colts: 11/21, 1 TD, 1 INT, 92 yards (17-7 at half, Indy played better but missed FGs, muffed punts)
Properly inflated balls:
2nd Half vs. Colts: 13/15, 2 TD, 0 INT, 131 yards (became a 45-7 route, 4th quarter Pats ran clock)
Vs. Seattle: 37/50, 4 TD, 2 INT, 328 yards (10 point come back in 4th quarter amidst a massive choke from Seattle)
Cheating: 44/71, 4 TDs, 2 INTs, 484 yards 89.17 QB Rating
Not Cheating: 50/65, 6 TDs, 2 INTs, 459 yards 113.56 QB Rating

ha.
I wonder what their record will be going into that game. 0-4 is certainly not an impossibility. Though perhaps 2-2 is more likely.

aztek is ok
If Brady appeals and plays the opening against the Steelers, they'll be 3-1 easily.

I don't think that's a realistic outcome (that he would be able to play in the opening game).

New Orleans was caught dead to rights. There was nothing to dispute.
They'll probably drop it down to 2 games.
If I was a Pats fan I would bitch more about the secondary than this, the punishment really is nothing (asides from the 1st rounder).

Yes they did
Looking forward to it.

Regardless of the outcome, intentionally violating a standing rule is a problem, and has a defined term. Cheating.
If I was a basketball player and for some reason thought that rigging my own shot clock to count down twice as fast gave me an advantage, I would still be cheating.
But that was a whole year, for something the coach did not know was going on.
This is something that happened, and your QB was aware of it.
NO also weren't repeat offenders of cheating.
A cheating Brady (89.17) is closer to Tim Tebow (75.30) than legit Tom (113.59).
Oh and I don't give a fuck about the punishment. Brady likely cheated, deserves punishment if he did, and Goodell is once again mismanaging the situation and has been since before the AFC championship game.

With how long some of these appeals seem to take I could see it getting pushed out past this season entirely if it goes to an arbitration court

They had definitive evidence in the case of NO though. And for something far worse.
They had enough evidence to say they probably did something here, but not enough to be definitive. If they had Brady probably would be home a year.
So what happens when Jimmy G goes 4-0 and puts up better numbers than Tom in any of his 4 game stretches?
lmao
Brady wasn't going to be suspended for a year no matter what

Oh, I know this one, I already saw the original. I'm pretty sure in the reboot Kansas City still overpays for him next year.
