[cdn hawk fan]

I just saw it on CNN, Brady suspension upheld by court. Will miss four games. Now showing on NFL website

Ahhh, this blows. NE is a team we all play this year, from the NFC West that is, but now the difficulty is going to be lop sided.

Basically it means (assuming it stands and is enforced), Brady would miss the opener against the Cardinals, and that would be a slight advantage for them in the race for the division title. Of course if we just sweep the Cardinals then it's not a problem

 

[hawksfansinceday1]

Whatevs. That division is such shitshow they could lose all 4 and still win it. That said, bwahahaha Tommy and Billy, eat it.

 

[sutz]

A little late. :34853_doh:

They probably thought BraBra would retire so there would be no battle....but no....He had to wanna play...WAHHHHH.

My only thought on this whole thing is that it's disappointing that Arizona gets to face a Brady-less Pats team.

 

[Seahawks Guy]

Can't Brady just appeal this and draw out the process long enough to where he'll be retired/benched by the time he's finally obligated to serve his suspension?

Agree, and I hope that one game doesn't become significant.

 

[Laloosh]

I wonder how much money has been spent on this entire thing. I mean, I get that the NFL had to fight the initial decision because they can't continue to have their decisions overturned by you know, the law. It just makes me cringe to think how much money attorneys made over ball deflation.

They (the Players Union) can appeal to the full 2nd Circuit court or to the supreme court, but that's an expensive option. The NFL appeals have already been denied.

Not a surprise at all. Love it. Judge Berman went against historical precedent to rule in favor of Brady, and ignored a mountain of circumstantial evidence to do so. The appeals judges weren't so quick to overlook things like the suspect destroying his phone. Technically this wasn't putting Brady on trial, but the details of the case factored when determining if Goodell acted within his authority. Which he did.

It sucks that Brady would miss week 1 against AZ. But he might not, if he decides to attempt another appeal (difficult) or try to delay the suspension.

 

[pmedic920]

Sounds like his restructure was a well thought out move.

NFLN was just saying that he'll only lose 200k vs 2 million with how is newest contract is written.
Not sure how that works but it sounds smart on TB's end.

Was watching the Celtics and Hawks game, saw lil Isaiah Thomas gettin busy and was happy for him (I still hate the Celtics) and then they panned the camera to hoody clapping and I got mad. Emotional cluster*&#%

Anyway, this is great! Screw that whole organization. Sincerely.

In regards to the Cards, we just need to mudhole them from go every game.

Brady can't NOT appeal. Not because he should, but because he's already five miles down this sanctimonious "golly gee I didn't do anything wrong I don't know why everyone's out to get me BS road he's paved for himself."

Frankly I don't even care anymore, I'm just tired of this whole thing. Suspend him, don't suspend him, JUST GET THE HELL OFF MY TV ALREADY.

You're literally the only person I saw who kept bringing up the possible suspension of Brady. Major props sir.
