"The Monday release said that Patriots owner Robert Kraft told NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell last week that two Patriots employees had been indefinitely suspended without pay. The league said that neither man could be reinstated without permission."

 

These are the guys you want to speak to in the future. TB has appeals, TB is rich beyond their wildest dreams, and these chumps are indef suspended by the team? Wondering why that is when the whole thing was caused by atmospheric conditions....but TB is hanging them out to dry.

I don't think the penalty will concern Belicheck as much as the association of his legacy with cheating. From the perspective of non-patriots fans, this penalty verifies the fact that the pats cheated and will always be inextricably linked with Belicheck. The media really downplayed spygate, but really jumped all over Brady this time around. When the Patriots/Belicheck dynasty comes up in conversations in the future, the first thought that will pop up in most fans' minds is 'oh, you mean the guys that cheated? I remember them'

That's a good point. I would imagine that Belichick is furious with Brady right now, as is Kraft. I really don't think either of them knew, although I do think the culture they both created of cheating and dishonesty helped Brady rationalize his decision to just blatantly disregard and break the rules.

 

Belichick and Kraft, of course, owe a lot of their success to Brady, so they can't do anything about it and they can't really complain all that much. But because they are both arrogant scumbags only concerned with themselves, I bet they hate Brady right now and aren't thinking of the fact that he was more responsible for their success than anyone else.

You mean "the deflator" and the other "idiot"

Regardless of what they say publicly, is there one person in the free world (or unfree world for that matter) who believes that Brady didn't know this was happening with Needledee and Needledum, and that these guys did this totally on their own?

 

I seriously doubt Hoodie would ever even think of telling Brady how to throw a football in 2014-15.

that wasn't my point. I alluded that if your star QB is going to bend rules for an advantage on a very high profile team.He would run it by his cheating coach to cover his butt.

Speaking of hanging people out to dry...

 

Let's all look back and remember Belichick's first press conference on the matter, when he basically said "I know nothing" and hung Brady out to dry,

 

That makes this all the better.
