billsgpr88 Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Assuming that Brady acted on his own accord, imagine how pissed Belicheck is at him right now There's a fitting german word for what we're all experiencing right now, and that is schadenfreude
Best Player Available Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 They need a backup with experience in the system. Cassell for Gronk straight across.
Nanker Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 They should not let him back until he holds a Presser and says the words, " I cheated.we'll never hear the end of it from the deniers.
Kelly the Dog Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 From Vincent's letter to Brady it does appear that half the 4 games were for the offense, and half for the uncooperation and coverup and lying to investigators. Winning any appeal implies that the punishment was too much because the player was wronged. it's impossible to be wronged when you didn't cooperate. So two of the games in the suspension should be untouchable. It's possible that one of the two games for the offense could be appealed but there is really no basis for him being wronged on that element either. The science shows it. No one in the world that is not a sociopath honestly believes that Brady didn't know and the stooges did it alone. The four games should and probably will stand, IMO.

At the end of the day, Brady won him another super bowl with a great performance against the hands-down best defense in the league. A pick in the mid-high 20s is chump change compared to that.
Clippers of Nfl Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Nbc announcers "Cold day game 2 here in Buffalo. Tom Brady's not here. Why?" "He cheated" "Why?" "He cheated" "Why?" "He ch ch ch ch cheated" "That's right silly Tasker, Mr Terrific Chch cheated"

Agreed. Any team would take that punishment if it gives them a SB. Brady will be back and those bastard will go 12-4 . That # 1 pick will probably be a # 27-30 anyways, so no biggie there either. Kraft can afford 1 M easily. Overall, I think NE is pretty happy about this.
YoloinOhio Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Tom can watch the opener at a bar with LaGarrette Blount

3rdand12 Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 I have mixed emotions about this. which is good, Because i was already preparing to be rather pissed at the NFL. Vincent said enough to make the point needed to be made. Brady cheated and then lied. On another note i would bet that Bellicheat was on the other end of that phone. at some point. should we hold our breath for Kraft's apology to the NFL for being presumptuous?

I was thinking that, too. His salary for this season is around 8m. He got off lucky. The Pats, in theory, could ask for the 1/4 of one year of the total bonus to be repaid but I seriously doubt they would do that.

No. Proration of bonus is only for cap purposes. He's already been paid his bonus up front. The only way the team could possibly recoup some of that is a situation like Hernandez. Even then it's difficult.
Dorkington Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 There's no way coach didn't know, I'm genuinely surprised he didn't get slapped.
