Tom Brady suspended for four games

[Nightman]

had to happen.

cheating is cheating and repeat offenders get more

Suspended 4 games, not 4 weeks. He'll miss the Dallas game.

Yeah, that's what I was saying. He WILL miss our game. Lost in translation. Happy dude, here!

Greg Hardy gets basically a 25 game suspension (15 last year, 10 this year) for no conviction. Brady, knowingly has cheated for years, on 2 different occasions, gets 4 games.

Get bent, Goodell.

Please don't tell me you are equating domestic violence with letting a little air out of footballs.

Won't stick. 2 games max.

I think you're probably right..it will be appealed & reduced.

Accusation vs conviction.

 

[USMarineVet]

Yep you guessed it. NE first game with Brady this year Against the Dallas Cowboys. How convenient...

NFL is so funny

Patriots have a bye in week 4.. Will miss Dallas.

Hardy got paid while on leave, hasn't lost a game check yet and was found guilty by a judge and then paid a women to go away so comparing beating a women to deflating a football is ridiculous

I would bet anything he will appeal and get it reduced by 1 game

It's called integrity.

Why did they turn balls into the referees before the game, then sneak them out and into a bathroom to let the air out of them.

If it's not a big deal, then why did you do it?

The NFL has the benefit of being a legit sport, unlike the NBA and MLB. That is important to this cash cow, and Goodell has to stand up to it.

This will not get reduced. There's no outside court to rule on it. This is unprecendented.

To whom? There's no Judge Doty for deflated ball rulings.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Based on why he was suspended, why would the punishment be reduced? Is he suddenly going to cooperate and turn over his phone records?

Nice.

But then again, we all know it will go to two games, no loss of picks.

 

[USMarineVet]

I don't see this being reduced. If it is, it sends a message that it's ok to cheat in the NFL.

To whom we shall see but its the golden boy were talking about here

A voice of reason.

I didn't say it should but I think it will be.

Don't most players win their appeals?

 

[MagicMan]

Funny thing is that it will be appealed down to 2 games and he still plays Dallas. Goodell knew that 4 sounds good, but after appeal, it is more to his liking.

Draft picks are the bigger news since Brady will likely appeal and have it reduced to two games.

How convenient are your conspiracy theories when they prove wrong?

There is no 'new vs old' policy for integrity of the game penalties. That is the only reason Peterson won on appeal.
