Yay! More entertainment to be had by reading responses from Boston fans to this ruling. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Of course it's overblown. That's not all on the league. My kids put up a fight when they are punished in the hope that I'm too tired to argue. Often gets overblown.kobebryant":2s5wnmgf said:This whole thing seems so overblown and has been dragged on far too long; it's a clown show.
An illegal curve or too big goalie pads in hockey is a penalty and they move on; a corked bat in baseball is what? an ejection and a fine I think?
I say reasonable fine him and keep it moving. Too much sensitivity. I prefer to watch when Brady is on the field.

You think if Brady came out and said, "yeah, I had him deflate some balls", it would have resulted in a suspension?
It was obvious in his presser that he was full of shit and this is the result. Didn't want to own it, got raked over the coals.
I didn't lose sleep over it but I'm glad that his staunch denial over a trivial issue wasn't rewarded.
Edit: I also think he could have saved a couple of people's jobs had he admitted it. Couple of people lost their jobs so Tawwmy could try to avoid looking like he cuts corners to gain an advantage.

To me that is clearly the smartest path for the Patriots. Have Brady play in week 1, then drop the legal action immediately after and take the suspension while Janeane Garofalo takes on four straight cupcakes. The only question is whether or not Tom Brady's ego could handle that, but as things stand now I think it's nearly a lock that Brady will be playing in week one if not later.

I hope that is exactly what they do...
And I hope that AZ comes out and clobbers them anyway. :twisted:
Maybe not best for our divisional hopes, but I still hope that this is what happens.

WHAT?????? According to all the MASShole Cheatriots fans on the ESPN comments section and thier own forums Brady was going to take it to the SC and win and then the NFL was going to ever regret crossing Saint Tawwwwmmy!253hawk":3n5e3ryb said:Brady just threw in the towel...maybe because he finally realized that the supreme court only takes a fraction of a percent of the cases it receives each year, and are usually civil cases that actually matter instead of ego crusades.
Seattle will beat New England, pissed off Brady or not.TheRealDTM":27prf28i said:I really like how the Cards get a free game against garoppolo and then we get pissed off brady....
Strangely? They're doing it to bank future good will with the players when negotiations come up. "Look how we pursue your rights!!!!11"kearly":3aju3caa said:Strangely, the NFLPA will continue the legal case to the SC even though Brady gave up.
