    Nah their are plenty of ppl who aren't Pats fans, who actually paid attention to how this thing played out. If you hate the Pats like a lot of ppl do, then he was automatically guilty from jump street.

    Wait, so Brady did no wrong? I'm not a Pats hater so I should easily be able to grasp this

    He didn't fully cooperate with the league. Literally the only reason he is serving 4 games. It was basically just ruled that Roger Goodell can do whatever he wants and dish out punishments as he sees fit.

    For the record I've never said I thought he cheated. I think it's gay. Air pressure didn't help the patriots shred the Colts rush defense.

    Lot of ppl tend to ignore the fact that the next 10 or so games after he was "caught" (before the Lewis/Gronk/Edelman injuries) he was probably the best hes ever been. He was 12-14 for 131 yards and 2 TD's in the 2nd half of that Colts game alone lol.

    That was angry Tom when he won. Imagine him after he serves his 4 games.

    Yeah, you're right. Brady sure looked like his talents took a hit in the Super Bowl and the 2015 NFL season. Man, his numbers sure dipped, too. Definitely a cheater.

    By the way, I know you're an intelligent football fan, and I'm pretty sure you were just making a funny comment. However, this isn't f---ing funny to me, so don't do that again. :mjcry:

    I'm going to answer this, as if you're asking a serious question, because if you're trolling, that was well done.

    First off, there's literally NO evidence that he even did anything. Why do you think the NFLPA is still willing to fight this case? A lot of the "evidence" is circumstantial.

    Second, the main incriminating evidence that the NFL has used over Brady was the fact that he destroyed his cell phone. However, Brady was told by the NFL that his cell phone was not needed, because his text messages and emails were already obtained through the cell phone company. Brady's main issue was his emails, texts, photos, being leaked to the public, which is understandable.

    So basically, the Tom contacted the NFL before the interview and asked "Hey, do I need to bring my cell phone?" League said "Nah Tom, we already have all the messages" Tom said "OK I'm going to get rid of it" Then the league leaked the story that he "destroyed" his phone.

    This is why I don't understand the NFL saying him "destroying" his cell phone was a big deal. There's really no basis for any of this.

    The only thing that sucks about the entire situation, and why Tom really can't win, is because the NFLPA gave Goodell the right to hand down any type of punishments that he wanted, back in 2011. He has full jurisdiction on any penalties.

    I was pretty much fine with Spygate and the punishments. Belichick was arrogant as f--- during that time frame. The league sent out a memo in, I believe, June of 07, telling teams NOT to film signals from certain angles, and Belichick did it anyway. We deserved that punishment.

    However, Deflategate is the biggest joke ever. You have teams doing s--- like this all the time, and they only have 25K fines, or not even punished. Brady gets 4 games, and Pats lose a first round pick AND 1 million dollar fine? lmao. The f---?

    Here's a couple articles for "cheating" done, that had minor fines and punishments, which basically line up with deflating footballs (using adhesives, heating footballs, etc)

    d---. Seems like a big signing, I hope he does well there, but if I had to bet money I say he has one or two mediocre years there before washing out of the league completely.

    Don't expect much from Arian Foster in Miami. Foster already was having one of his worst seasons before injury last year with less than 3 yards per carry.

    he hasn't played all 16 games since the 2012 season.

    i agree with you, if i had to bet on it---i don't think he's gonna do much for the remainder of his career in the NFL. we'll see, tho. dolphins could really use a boost from him because their offense is lacking a bit.

    dolphins and texans basically flip flopped running backs. foster went to fins. lamar miller went to texans

    I am very optimistic about Osweiler! He's still young and he performed well in the games he played.

    Keeping my fingers crossed that we've actually found the one!

    I'm the biggest Brady/Patriots hater I know and I still think Brady's 4 game suspension is bs.

    It does make me the slightest bit happy tho.

    Pats got 3 home games during that time, 4-0 isn't out of the question.

    I'd guess 3-1 or 2-2 though.
