:jnc my friend who's a season-ticket holding 49ers fan says season ticket holders got fucked. Digital only tickets that don't show in your account until 3 days before the game

Jed York torpedoed shit in a hurry

Well, that's unfortunate for digital holders... How're they going to sell those off now? :Jnc

Mara spoke on the JPP front. Not only questions his health/cardio, but the advice he is getting fed. Seems he is primarily about money, and not wanting to play for the team. It appears the only way he plays this year for the team is to sign a compromised tender and gets into training camp. I doubt that happens. Maybe best to cut bait with him and let the young guys battle it out. He's not going to be around for the long haul, anyways.

I am very disappointed by the NFL's decision to uphold the 4 game suspension against me. I did nothing wrong, and no one in the Patriots organization did either.

Despite submitting to hours of testimony over the past 6 months, it is disappointing that the Commissioner upheld my suspension based upon a standard that it was "probable" that I was "generally aware" of misconduct. The fact is that neither I, nor any equipment person, did anything of which we have been accused. He dismissed my hours of testimony and it is disappointing that he found it unreliable.

I also disagree with yesterdays narrative surrounding my cellphone. I replaced my broken Samsung phone with a new iPhone 6 AFTER my attorneys made it clear to the NFL that my actual phone device would not be subjected to investigation under ANY circumstances. As a member of a union, I was under no obligation to set a new precedent going forward, nor was I made aware at any time during Mr. Wells investigation, that failing to subject my cell phone to investigation would result in ANY discipline.

Most importantly, I have never written, texted, emailed to anybody at anytime, anything related to football air pressure before this issue was raised at the AFC Championship game in January. To suggest that I destroyed a phone to avoid giving the NFL information it requested is completely wrong.

To try and reconcile the record and fully cooperate with the investigation after I was disciplined in May, we turned over detailed pages of cell phone records and all of the emails that Mr. Wells requested. We even contacted the phone company to see if there was any possible way we could retrieve any/all of the actual text messages from my old phone. In short, we exhausted every possibility to give the NFL everything we could and offered to go thru the identity for every text and phone call during the relevant time. Regardless, the NFL knows that Mr. Wells already had ALL relevant communications with Patriots personnel that either Mr. Wells saw or that I was questioned about in my appeal hearing. There is no "smoking gun" and this controversy is manufactured to distract from the fact they have zero evidence of wrongdoing.

I authorized the NFLPA to make a settlement offer to the NFL so that we could avoid going to court and put this inconsequential issue behind us as we move forward into this season. The discipline was upheld without any counter offer. I respect the Commissioners authority, but he also has to respect the CBA and my rights as a private citizen. I will not allow my unfair discipline to become a precedent for other NFL players without a fight.

Lastly, I am overwhelmed and humbled by the support of family, friends and our fans who have supported me since the false accusations were made after the AFC Championship game. I look forward to the opportunity to resume playing with my teammates and winning more games for the New England Patriots.

HE'S INNOCENT! FREE BRADY! FREE BRADY! FREE BRADY!

Just keeping digging Tom. The funny thing is that statement doesn't directly contradict anything the NFL is claiming. I especially love this,

I replaced my broken Samsung phone with a new iPhone 6 AFTER my attorneys made it clear to the NFL that my actual phone device would not be subjected to investigation under ANY circumstances.

So he destroyed his phone after telling the NFL they weren't going to get it. Not helping your case there buddy!

His phone was broken already, you like holding on to broken stuff?

Also, he finally saw the light and upgraded from Samsung to an iPhone.

Yeah, sure it was lol. A millionaire NFL player with a millionaire wife had either an out of warranty phone or didn't bother getting insurance. That makes sense.

If he hits the free market I hope Tampa goes for him. JPP at 50% effort and a blown off hand is still better then any defensive end the Bucs have.
 
So Brady takes this to federal court, he's allowed to play during the process. court ruling comes down by end/mid season, ruling upheld. And his suspension begins immediately and effects any postseason hopes the pats have.

I will be a shoulder to cry on when both the Broz and Garoppolol turn out to be garbage.

You really give a shit what happens to Pats fans?

I'll be too busy bottling their tears to later use as a flavor enhancer and cooking marinade. Better than MSG!

As @Rand_Getlin just said, Jake Long will be making a return trip to NJ after Atlanta. Giants cannot pass up quality O-Line starters.

Still scrambling to find an answer at RT with the Beatty injury. Marshall Newhouse is not the answer.
