Matt Johnson coming for tryout with Bills on Monday
4900 yards, 46 TD's, 8 ints last year for Bowling Green.
Considered a "project" QB due to simple system he played in.
Has some great highlight reels.
(source was BillsDaily.com BTW)

"Ravens forfeit one week of OTAs (June 1-3) and fined team and John Harbaugh for violating offseason rules. Team put players in pads at rookie minicamp."
(is older source)
I will add the more recent source in a moment......
(still not recent enough.....)
now up-to-date
-
Wow. This was unexpected. I think this is a big blow the Jets.
-
Thanks for the link. This will be something I will remember if the Bills do well this year. I would imagine that the best form of flattery would be other teams adopting
this approach.

Robert Griffin to see neurologist
Washington Redskins QB Robert Griffin III (concussion) has been cleared for ‘non-contact’ activity in practice, according to head coach Jay Gruden. He has no effects of a concussion but is still scheduled to see a neurologist.
TIP: Griffin appears to have recovered from the concussion he suffered in the preseason game against the Buffalo Bills Thursday, Aug. 20. Even before the injury, he was considered no better than a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in deeper leagues.Source: Redskins.com 22 hours ago*******************..emphasis mine. Wow, the Bills defense is so powerful it even injures QB's they didn't play! I am thinking maybe it is the writer of this article who needs to have his head examined. -
Schefter didn't mention that he'll be a whitewalker.
He 's not dead! So that makes no sense.
But I heard it was the Red Lady who healed him.
Unfortunately, she asked that EJ be burned as payment to the God of Light. I guess there is power in Manuel Blood.

OK Brady lovers - explain why the innocent Brady destroyed his cell phone.
Ready..
Set.....
Go!
Will even ONE of you admit NOW that he is guilty?

I continue to believe that Goodell will certainly not reduce the suspension to zero. Brady's supporters continue to insist this will happen but, other than repeating
all their arguments (which only Brady supporters believe), NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
Since everyone agrees this is not simply a matter of evidence but of public opinion, the longer this goes on, the better it is for the Brady camp - I mean, who isn't fed up with this whole process? But for people like me, my certainty that cheating took place and the integrity of the game is what matters (again, TO ME), time has not made
me any less passionate that Brady be punished.
Still, having said that,
- as long as WE (those that believe Brady cheated) don't forget.
- as long as WE (those that believe Brady cheated) boo him and yell, "Cheeeeeaaaaterrrr!" everytime we can
- as long as WE (those that believe Brady cheated) bring it up at every opportunity when anything "brady" comes up at the water cooler (where ever...)
....then, the League punishment is secondary. Brady will forever be a cheater everywhere except in New England. This has made me less concerned about whatever is announced this week and how things eventually turn out in terms of the League punishment.
Brady and new England cheated and his records and their records will be forever tainted.

I think the NFL will cave and lift the suspension. They don't want drama, so they'll do whatever they can to sweep it under the rug.
!@#$ it, I hope we !@#$ing smash his !@#$ing face in.
Ummm, you want drama? Lift the suspension. The Brady supporters are in the minority. Lift the suspension and the reaction will be waaaay more dramatic than not lifting it.
-
Such a case may not be as revealing as some are hoping. The content of Brady's texts, for example, may not necessarily be admissible.
I am sure a lawyer or two can chime in to assist - for example, who is the plaintiff and who is the accused? I think Brady would be the plaintiff here which might
impact things. In any event, having Brady on the record, under oath in a federal court would be...shall we say.....interesting?
-
Union plans to go to Federal court if Brady suspension not fully lifted.
Good.
let's have witnesses, subpoenas, etc.
Get people under oath on this, especially the ball boy and the equipment manager.

@pecrawleynfl: Good primer from @judybattista heading into Tom Brady's appeal hearing tomorrow. http://t.co/LaOHBUwAlY
Finally! What seems to me to be an unbiased summary with all the options and possible outcomes. here's to good reporting!

That's wild speculation by Florio that has no chance of happening. Based on losing the appeal, taking it to court (which will not happen) and then more appeals.
IMO, Mike Florio has been biased - most of his Deflategate articles have been exceedingly Pro TB. I usually can guess before reading the byline, who has written
an article (Florio or anyone else). I have been mostly dismissing his views and his articles when it has anything to do with New England.
-
With no contrition whatsoever from TB, I can't see any scenario where Goodell reduces the suspension. If TB admits anything - even that "others may have reduced the ball
pressure but I knew nothing about it" - will mean a reduction of one or two games but, IMO, TB will not even admit that.
So, under those circumstances, Goodell reducing the penalty would make no sense to me. Again, my opinion.

What if Jimmy Garappolo comes of the bench for a suspended Tom Brady, Just as Brady did a decade and a half ago when he came in for Drew Bledsoe, and lights it up and proves himself to be a better choice than Brady is right now?
I thought you were suggesting he come off the bench and deliberately deflate the balls. My bad.

we hate you because you cheat. Period. End of sentence.

Hi rep Donald Yee just announced he is appealing 4 game suspension.
My GUESS is he succeeds in reducing the suspension to 2 but this not only still knocks him out of game 3 against us, but lessens the team commitment to their #2 Garofalo.
2. The big ticket is not whether a player appeals but whether the team appeals. If the tam accept the transgression the Pats ** lives
Don't bet on it. Yee again said the reason this went down was due to a "pre-ordained" decision. This will not likely go over well with an arbitrator who see the evidence.
-
This article sums up my feelings.
Fine, Georgia, join the group of people that condone cheating and don't give a crap about sportsmanship. You're not alone.
They (and you) are are all fans of New England, and/or Tom Brady.
I hope you enjoyed your victories,
They all will always have an asterisk, regardless of the punishment issued this week.

Another update (opinion piece):
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/05/10/no-decisions-have-been-made-on-tom-brady-yet/
this one has the interesting caveat of, "...four games minimum plus indefinite suspension until phone turned over"
my two cents - I doubt the NFL would go to that extreme (the phone part).
-
Is the statistical analysis that you quote legit? There are a number of articles saying that the original analysis was amateurish .I believe a number of prominent posters here have already pointed that out as well. Nothing worse than stats being misused.
check out 538.com's comments - partway down - on this very subject

I think the fumbling issue is a combination of about 6-8 factors. I'm not convinced at all it has anything to do with deflating balls. It's possible but I won't take that leap. I also don't think at all these guys have been doing this every game for eight years.
Kelly - you may indeed be right that there may be more than one factor that is causal for the Patriots fumbling rate. But the statistics are clearly showing that the Patriots, since 2006, became major outliers compared to the other 31 teams for fumbling. The results clearly show that is very very unlikely that mere chance is involved with the differences. The fact that
the change happened the exact year that the handling of footballs changed is a possible explanation for the change. Given that we now know brady has tampered with balls and that it was he himself who requested the new rule change, it is extremely suspicious that the fumbling rate changed at exactly that very moment. One way to find out would be to interview the ball handler(s) for those years to see if the deflating below 12.5 actually did start with Week 1, 2007. BTW, McNally will probably be writing a book. Maybe interesting reading?
That is how offseason suspensions work
43% reduction without even doing it weekly... You must think the difference between the two levels is HUGE
It is huge - the statistics show that.
-
Some rumors are stating a decision (punishment) could be issued as early as today.
My prediction is 4 game suspension.
I believe 8 is the appropriate punishment but 4 is going to cause a huge uproar in an area near to a place called Boston (and in all Bostonian-leaning individuals).
All others are those that see reality.
BTW, I can't wait to see Tom fly in the nifty black helicopter again. I thought Jesus would be stepping out of it, or the Pope.
But it was Tom.
Close....real close.
Police Shamelessly cite Terrorism in Patrolling Private Lots

To mrags and simpleman: It is this type of discourse that continues to not let me lose hope in our country. You two disagree but you disagree without name calling , without disrespecting the
other person's position. To the discussion in hand, I agree with both your concerns: Simpleman's concern about our 4th amendment rights. I am certain no one here wants to give anyone
the right to barge into our personal space without cause. But I am sure Simpleman would agree there are grey areas and then there are more grey areas. One thing that is becoming increasingly clear these days is that being deemed as "suspicious" is indeed subjective and one's race/color/even garb impacts how one is viewed. There are no perfect solutions. My LEAN is more towards
Simpleman's concerns only because the police incursion is pre-emptive and is being implemented based on concerns/worries and not on an actual incident. Obviously, no on wants to see
something happen and then, after the fact, tell oneself "well, maybe if the police had patrolled that Lot they might have stopped it". But, one has to ask oneself, what is the more likely outcome?
Ordinary citizens being routinely harassed by authorities or the 'stopping of an imminent terrorist act'? I worry that this is a slippery slope. So, I prefer that we police ourselves. That's my 2 cents. Thanks for your post, you two. -RichNJoisy
