    Tannehill has show a lot of growth, last season he really broke out and it was smart for the Dolphins to extend him before Luck or Wilson's mega deal gets done. They probably would have had to pay more had they waited till after.

    The Tannehill extension was a great move. I believe he'll be a huge franchise qb within the next few years when they get him more targets.

    the thing is....they don't have a better option at QB than tannehill

    sure, he probably got a little more money than what he has shown on the field so far.......but that's understandable because of the position he plays

    its the same reason dalton got the deal he did. no, he didn't deserve that much............but who else are they gonna start at QB?

    lmao thumbs up

    Anyways, to answer your original question... In all honesty, I think the suspension is gonna get reduced, and I think Brady has a shot to get it wiped clean..

    I think more likely than not that Brady asked ball boys to make sure that the balls go to the lowest PSI possible, and the ball boys probably took it too far. Now, did Brady ask them to go above and beyond to get the PSI lower than 12.5? No idea. Personally? I don't think he would, but who knows.

    The more uncooperative the Pats are though, the more suspicious they make themselves. Granted, it's mostly circumstancial evidence, but it still makes me even raise my eyebrows to the whole situation.

    At the end of the day, worst case scenario for us Pats fans is that Brady knew, and he advised these ball boys to deflate the footballs passed the legal limit... In that case, I still don't think a suspension is in order, and I'd say that in MOST instances. I try to look at it as "What if Peyton, Big Ben or Eli was caught in a similar sense?" I'd be saying the exact same thing.

    I think if a player is caught with stick um, greasing their jerseys, deflating/overflating footballs, etc... It should be a strict fine, second offense should be a suspension, third, gone from the league.

    PED's are way worse to me. Your WHOLE skill set is based off of chemicals altering your body. I don't think that's fair at ALL. I lost so much respect for Rodney Harrison (who most RB heads can tell you, was one of my all time favorite players). I'd love to see the NFL come down WAY harder on PED/Steroid use. Brandon Browner, Brandon Spikes, and all other Pats who have done it? I lose complete respect when they're caught. If Brady was caught? I'd lose an INSANE amount of respect for the guy.

    This story has gotten overblown to the max... The prior penalty for deflating footballs illegally was a 25K fine... Brady has ZERO track record, so how can you go from that to a 4 game suspension?

    This whole thing is the NFL trying to cover their own a--- from last year's AP/Ray Rice debacle. They are strictly listening to public opinion (who all hate Brady and the Pats) and tarnishing Brady's legacy and it's bs.

    As far as Celtics, I like their direction. I don't really care about the Bruins... And I agree about the Red Sox... I lost respect for Ortiz/Manny when they were found using. I'll root for the teams, obviously, but I won't defend those players.

    I have a feeling Tannehill is going to be Ryan Fitzpatrick 2.0.

    Koolo said the final straw was you making that joke about the 1 year old in a bikini or whatever. I wish they'd let you back tbh, yeah it was a stupid joke and went too far but it was obvious to me it was a joke and probably obvious to others too..Plus someone recently faked their death on here which is worse imo and didn't even get a 24 hour ban lol.

    With that said, it doesn't sound like they want to let ya back though.

    This guy named Grimace was the one who was thought to be dead and then Michael Scott was the one who went along with it and told the forum about the 'car accident' he was in.

    Idgaf. I only came here for entertainment. And making some guy in his 30s having emotional breakdowns getting extremely angry was funny, simply by trolling.

    Exactly. It seems like it's hard for teams to even find a steadily average/decent young QB these days. That's exactly what Dalton and Tannehill are. That's why they're getting overpaid. Teams are desperate to find that franchise QB.

    Pisses me off because Nick Foles has had WAY better numbers than Tannehill. Still wish we would've kept him. Dude is gonna shine with the Rams.

    I'm so glad the Pats have The Tom and The Jim and don't have to worry about Tannehill/Dalton/Foles

    Pats now say they won't appeal deflate gate, at least this is probably over now.

    Extra point kicks officially moved back 33 yards. Wow. Rule change is trying to encourage two point conversions.

    Tell me about it. One of the worst offseasons I can remember for any team recently.

    At worst 6-10
    At best 10-6

    this @redsoxx dude is delusional thinking Brady's suspension will get reduced. He probably also believes Hernandez should appeal his case.

    Over 70 plus aliases on over 5 different proxies, and I'm still ethering pat fans on the daily.

    I could maybe see his suspension getting reduced to 2 games. His suspension should hold as is though.
