Kelly the Dog Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Yee and the Pats will have a week or more to make bad PR for a league obsessed with its marketing image. The networks and major advertising partners will be working the back channels. And if the NFLPA goes hard to support TB, I can see Goodell saying half a loaf is better than none.... I can't see NLFPA going hard for Brady, he basically told them I don't want or need your help. Then lied to investigators.
Captain Caveman Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 They picked 32nd this year....will probably still win 10 and make the playoffs so will pick late again would you rather have your first pick at 30 or 60?
The Wiz Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 I can't see NLFPA going hard for Brady, he basically told them I don't want or need your help. Then lied to investigators. Think the same. Pretty sure he waived the NFLPA so he could say I don't wanna give them my phone. I think the NFLPA would have balked at him if he did that and made it so his chances of appeal were 0 instead of 10%.
Drewgetz Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Super bowl trinkets alone cover the fine Not paying Brady for 4 games more than pays for the fine. They are actually prolly saving money with this punishment.
Lurker Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 I can't see NLFPA going hard for Brady, he basically told them I don't want or need your help. Then lied to investigators. Aggred. But the union also has to make sure it's not marginalized. They may hold their nose, but IMO they can't sit back and look like bystanders on such a high profile case...
The Wiz Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Not paying Brady for 4 games more than pays for the fine. They are actually prolly saving money with this punishment. The money has to be donated to charity that Brady was designated to earn. Edited May 11, 2015 by The Wiz
Augie Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 If Garappolo replaces Brady like Brady replaced Bledsoe, I'm looking for a new hobby.
Drifter Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 The Patriots seem ok in giving up 1st rounders in exchange for winning the Super Bowl. If they wanted to send a message they should have stripped them of the title.
....lybob Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 The penalty seems right about the only thing I'd change is instead of a million dollar fine ( which is like the average guy getting a 5 dollar fine) I'd have two years where their salary cap increases are distributed to the rest of the NFL.
Drewgetz Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 The money has to be donated to charity that Brady was designated to earn. Nice. I like that. Thanks for the knowledge. I wonder who gets to pick the charity.
DC Tom Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 The money has to be donated to charity that Brady was designated to earn. Brady was...uh...designated to...ummm...earn a charity? That sentence structure is so horrible I can't even make a decent joke out of it.
EmotionallyUnstable Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 2nd best birthday present i got I'm scared to ask:
The Wiz Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Nice. I like that. Thanks for the knowledge. I wonder who gets to pick the charity.I believe the NFL. I just learned it myself earlier today. Good thing I studied for the test.
DC Tom Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 2nd best birthday present i got I hope the best wasn't being part of jboyst's twin-threesome.
The Wiz Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Brady was...uh...designated to...ummm...earn a charity? That sentence structure is so horrible I can't even make a decent joke out of it. I know you've done worse. You get the point though.
EmotionallyUnstable Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 I wonder if this impacts a Dareus suspension at all...
Ted William's frozen head Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) 4 games for Brady 1 Million fine 1st pick 2016 edit 4th round 2017 pick Bills fans get screwed out of seeing the Pats @ full strength. The suspension should've been a year, so everyone else gets to share in seeing the watered down product on the field. I wanted to see the new Buffalo defense turn Brady into a brown stain on the Orchard Park carpet. Edited May 11, 2015 by Ted William's frozen head

I actually prefer the idea of turning him into a brown stain in NE.
