Re: Brady gets away with it?

The NFL will appeal. And lose again. This whole thing was a travesty from the jump. Goodell came in very soft on Ray Rice, Goodell lied about what Rice told him, lied about not seeing the tape, and ever since then has tried to overcompensate by being over the top harsh in every case since. He's just terrible. In this case you run a sting operation during the AFCCG, leak false info to Chris Mortensen, hire Ted Wells to make this into a national circus and then run a smear campaign against one of the league's top players. Goodell should have been fired after the Ray Rice fiasco. He definitely should be fired now.

Re: Brady gets away with it?

I agree that Goodell is the problem. Maybe the players would care more about integrity if he demonstrated some. He taught them to cover **** up...and then he want's to come down heavy on cover ups. This was never about footballs it was about lying and failure to cooperate.

I beg to differ. This was a deliberate attempt to frame Brady and the Pats by the Ravens and Colts and Jets along with Goodell and his consiglieri, Pash.

Let's see if someone has the guts to ask the Colts equipment guy who told him Brady was deliberately deflating footballs. He told Grigson in his email that it was "common knowledge around the league", but when asked who he heard it from, he said he "couldn't remember".

So, this whole thing was instigated by hearsay (supposedly) from sources the Colts guy "can't remember".

And yet he said it was "common knowledge around the league".

Sorry, but this guy is lying. Shouldn't we wonder WHY the guy who started the whole smear job has to LIE about it?

Brady has learned that if he whine and cries long enough, and hard enough, that somebody will listen.

And yet you whine and whine and whine but no one listens to you.

Must be frustrating, huh?

The players will settle it on the field.

Brady out for the season by Week 5.

You hope. The last time this happened the Pats went 16-0 and steamrolled everyone .

Re: Brady gets away with it?

Why can't it be that Brady did the deed, but the NFL was unfair and unrealistic in its investigation? That's what the judge is saying. From what I saw he didn't say anything about whether or not Brady deflated the balls. His ruling actually looked pretty fair and right from what I read.

Really, this is Goodell's fault. He developed a punishment system in this league that has consistently failed to hold up to legal scrutiny during appeals. The judges laugh at him every time. This has nothing to do with whether or not people have committed crimes, it has everything to do with fair and consistent punishment and investigations.

Who does he think he is, Tom Brady?

Re: Brady gets away with it?

just so horrible

my dad says thank god it isnt government. which is true, football is a fantasy world to begin with. but the problem is that this fantasy world is VERY real to most people, and especially children. this definitely impacts our general culture and how we view transgressions against our neighbors and the entire collective

what do you say to a child who brings the question to you? of course he really did cheat. he really did steal from the league, his opponents, and the fans. and he really got caught, at least in any reasonable world where overwhelming evidence is entirely compelling even lacking a smoking gun

is that the standard you want to set in your children? in anybody?!?

so yeah, johnnie, its only cheating if they cant legally nail you. if you can do something that benefits you at the expense of others without anybody having any real evidence against you, then its ok to take that whatever you want, even if its from other people. you can manipulate things in your favor, you can stand up and lie in front of everybody, you can disobey completely reasonable requests to get to the truth, and it will all have no impact on your personal consciousness - AS LONG AS YOU DONT GET CAUGHT RED HANDED

see that pretty woman? that could be yours. see that big mansion? that could be yours. see all those shiny toys, see that massive vacation 'cabin', see your face on the cover of that mag and that bust in canton? that could all be yours. now johnnie go out into the world and cheat your way to glory. just dont get caught

im trying to get excited for the season but it feels like there a massive weight hanging around my neck. the last time i felt this way after they cancelled the world series i stopped watching baseball permanently. i wouldnt be shocked if my interest in this sham sport ends up going the same direction

Re: Brady gets away with it?



Won't Tom Brady please THINK OF THE CHILDREN?

C'mon Tom, it doesn't MATTER if you're innocent, all your haters think you're guilty and it's ****ing up their children, so won't you PLEASE admit you're guilty so you don't traumati2e their children any longer?

Re: Brady gets away with it?

Every little infraction will be scrutinized due to their history. The owners and fans are sick of their BS.
