Brady will be suspended for role in deflategate

[texbumthelife]

Oh I don't doubt he knew he's just far enough away from ball handling that he can keep clean

Depends on whose balls we are talking about. I think he's a permanent warmer for the commish.

The Wells investigation never really looked into this very much, especially since Belichick wrote the foreword to the book Football Physics which discussed things such as properties and aerodynamics of a football.

Still, as Goodell said 'ignorance is not an excuse' when it came to Payton. Given that Belichick is a multi-time felon by sports standards, he should be given a 1-year suspension.

Remember, Brady has a player's union to keep the suspension in check, Belichick does not have a coach's union to do the same thing.

4 games for both would be perfect anything after that is just a blessing

 

[Manwiththeplan]

just the first play to ruin his "starts" stat

oh, that may be a bit harsh then. how about they suspend him on patriots defensive plays?

 

[viman96]

Suspension for 1 series? 1 quarter? 1 half? Tough call for Goodell.

i was thinking realistically

just suspend him for the 4th preseason game...he'll learn his lesson

Maybe he should run is by Mara first. Maybe just the week they play the Giants?

 

[EPL0c0]

he'll appeal any suspension, no doubt, but I have a feeling that if it's 4 or more games that he could just up and retire. He'll say that he wants to spend time with his family, blah blah blah

 

[MagicMan]

Give him a 8 game suspension and then be forced to throw a beach ball when he returns. ....

 

[JBS]

Doesn't matter what happens

It was worth it for brady

 

[The Quest for Six]

Brady will be suspended for the first four games of the season, subsequently, the first four games are preseason games!!

 

[Bigdog]

Will be suspended during the Patriots bye week. That way Gooddell still looks good and he won't offend his good buddy Kraft.

 

[gmoney112]

When's the next New England area Rotary Club meeting? He'll be suspended until just before that.

That way, Goodell can still sit at the cool kids table with Mara and Kraft.

A rugby ball

announcement to come next week

He will be banned from warm-ups prior to game 1.

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

well the Boys play the Pats on week 5 so if he's suspended, probably will be no more than 4 games

 

[EMMITTnROY]

Good, he deserves it. We are taught from an early age that cheaters aren't supposed to win. In any other sport, they are disqualified. No if's ands or buts.

Everything about the Pats winning it all last year makes me mad.

They only had to beat the terrible Ravens and terrible Colts to get there, and then Seattle gave the game away when it was won. They literally only had to beat one good team and that team gave the game away. Easiest Super Bowl run ever. And on top of that, New England cheated all year.

I think the title should be taken away but they'll never do that. Suspend Brady for the year and tarnish that legacy. He's earned it.

One regular season game of his choosing and stripped of his boy scout badges.

4 would be perfect since the Pats have a bye Week 4

But this is the NFL. Remember last year when Suh's suspension was lifted because it would hurt his team too severely? How much would it hurt the Pats to suspend Brady. He is the league darling so don't count on this being but a game and lifted after appeal.
