Turbosrrgood Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) These suggestions need not follow NFL guidelines... My idea is letting him play in the regular season, but ban him from the playoffs the next time his team makes it. Or we could forget suspensions and fines, the NFL needs to think outside the box. Every week of the NFL season could begin with Sebastian Janikowski using Tom's nuts for field goal practice, broadcast live on NFLN. Then Pats fans couldn't complain about him missing games.

DC Tom Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Suspend his entire offensive line for four games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalos#1Fan Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Realistically, I would have suspended him for a half season to a full season. Unrealistically, I would ban him from pro football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountryCletus Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I was hoping for 4-8 game suspension for failure to cooperate with a league investigation.... I feel the punishment it adequate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 what if an mlb team slipped juiced baseballs into a game while they were at bat ? the pats got off lightly i think brady and belichick should have gotten a full year each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Mine I'm sure is an overreaction but I would have suspended him indefinitely until he cooperated with the investigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 The current punishment is fine but I might add an indefinite suspension until he releases his cell phone details. If more cheating went on, it needs to be revealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealityCheck Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I would make him play for the Bills...indefinitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Instead of forfeiting picks, they should have had an AFCE lottery that distributed them to us, the Jets or the Phins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I would make him wear a BRADY* jersey in all games and make all NFL merchandise with his name on it read Brady*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxy312 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Mine I'm sure is an overreaction but I would have suspended him indefinitely until he cooperated with the investigation. In a nutshell, this. I don't understand why the NFL is essentially awarding a player for being non-compliant with an investigation. They offered him 100% assurance that any non-football related emails or texts would not be shared with the public. I tend to agree with you. Suspend him indefinitely until he complies. The exception here of course is that if that's in violation of the NFLPA. The commissioner has broad powers to enforce a lot of rules, but doesn't have such complete power as to violate that.

Mr. WEO Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 what if an mlb team slipped juiced baseballs into a game while they were at bat ? the pats got off lightly i think brady and belichick should have gotten a full year each. Or corked bats. Or scuffed/greased balls. Or juiced players. I mean, can you even imagine if any of that ever happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I would make him read team message boards for 12 hours a day until the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since Brady waived his NFLPA representation I think it would have been possible. Didn't someone else get suspended indefinitely and then reduced early last season? Not sure if it was Rice or AP.

He waived representation, but that's not a waiver of his rights and protections afforded by the agreement. I think it was AP that got his reduced first, and then later Rice was reinstated. Different issue though when you start talking about potential criminal behavior off the field versus cheating in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
