NFL: Brady suspension reinstated

[GarbageGoal]

Gonna be interesting to see how Jimmy G does. If he holds his own he'll have some good trade value across the league

Belichick probably just wants one of these to stick already so he can find out.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I know Donnie Fehr is a powerful guy, but I don't think he has that kind of influence.

Lol yeah my bad. I think the suspension will get knocked down to 2. The NFL made their point getting it reinstated now do the right thing now that the 2nd circuit has ruled that Goodell still has his power.

On the bright side for the Pats, Suh gets one less shot at Brady's knees.

You really expect Goodell to set aside his ego? I'm half surprised he's not already announced that he's tacking on another 2 games because...well, f**k it, because he's Goodell and apparently he can.

I don't see that happening. The other owners will be back to calling him a Kraft toadie. This whole charade has been to prove otherwise after being embarrassed by them.

He can and its the players fault sadly. If they want him to have less power, they have to go back to the negotiation table. Might have to give up something in exchange for his disciplinary powers.

What Mallett didn't do it for you?


I certainly wouldnt put it past BB to move Brady after the season if Jimmy G plays well. If there was one player he would sacrifice value for it might be TB though

My name's not Bill O'Brien.

Exactly. GoodeLOL has an ego the size of Jerryworld and will not do anything reasonable, especially after being utterly embarrassed in court back in August.

Still waiting for him to give Rohan Davey a look

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

****in stupid.

 

[The Dangly One]

As a Patriots fan, this is great news.

Nothing like Tom Brady with a big chip on his shoulder making it rain TDs on the football field.

That is a nice silver lining

Michael Bishop's gonna be a stud.

Brady had to know this was coming. Smart contract restructure. Only going to be out 200k.

 

[John Price]

How? They are doing what the NHLPA granted them in the CBAa. Pretty open and closed for me.

Because the hockey pa allowed for egregious non reasonable four game bans.

It was a typo.

 

[Terry Yake]

i hate the pats but this deflategate thing has gotten so, so old. either suspend him or don't. watch, 5 years from now they'll still be trying to suspend him but he'll appeal and the process will be repeated

 

[Pi]

This is ridiculous. I dislike Brady but my hate for the NFL is far greater. Just leave it alone. The Patriots paid enough for it already.

 

[Pi]

You really think he cares about money at this point? He wants to win more SBs and not be called a cheater.

 

[cutchemist42]

This is just the dumbest story of all time.Then again, it kept the NFL in the news all Summer last year......could work a second time.

 

[Voight]

He usually does the restructures to give them cap space.

 

[Blitzkrug]

I don't care about this in any way, shape, or form. As soon as I finish typing this response, I'm ignoring this thread. How we got to this point is beyond me. Whether or not he was guilty, a suspension of any kind is absolutely absurd. We have played two Super Bowls since the event in question happened. Let's move the **** on already.

Exactly this.

Goodell is such a ****boy.

31 other fan bases are celebrating in the streets

****ing cheater finally got what he deserved

 

[Fish on The Sand]

From what I can tell, it does go back to him, but he's instructed to confirm the suspension. And while he had other issues, or something like that, the appeals court took care of that too. Not sure what Brady's options are now.

He can try to appeal to the Supreme Court, but they probably won't hear the case, and there's a good chance of a 4-4 deadlock, which means a de facto loss for Brady.

Innocent until proven guilty.

Doesn't quite seem that the other 31 fan bases are necessarily celebrating this.
