NFL says Pats guilty, and Brady knew

[PandaPancake]

Is there anyway I can sue the Patriots for not honoring the values of our founding fathers?

The NFL has a problem. While in the grand scheme of things, something as simple as this probably doesn't have a huge impact on the outcome of games, it has to have SOME impact or else teams wouldn't risk violating the rules and suffering the consequences to do it. Think about how many recent Super Bowl wins have been tainted to some degree. The Saints with the bounty issue, the Pats with the spying issue, and now this. That's significant. IMO, it's time to really throw the book at the Pats. They've yet to win one cleanly and are repeat offenders.

Little late to this party, haven't read all 300 posts but I got one word: RICO

even scrub NFL players should be able to get a girl much, much more attractive than Giselle to me, like 49er FB Bruce Miller's girl here:

Damn so that's what 500,000 a year buys. Not bad...

So she must be the one he was arrested for allegedly abusing and went on Instagram to say how he wasn't marrying her because she would be an embarrassment for a wife? 

 

Guess it is true...no matter how hot she is, someone, somewhere, is sick of putting up with her sh*t.

CBS Sports:

"Brady's refusal to help the investigation could end up being one of the big reasons he's hit with a potentially big suspension.

In the NFL's Policy on Integrity of the Game & Enforcement of Competitive Rules, the league notes that "Failure to cooperate in an investigation shall be considered conduct detrimental to the League and will subject the offending club and responsible individual(s) to appropriate discipline."

Miami Herald:

"The last time a team other than New England won the AFC East was 2008 when the Dolphins won the division in a year Brady was injured the first regular-season game and missed the rest of the year.

Even a lesser suspension for Brady could affect the division. New England's backup quarterback is second-year player Jimmy Garoppolo. Garoppolo has thrown 27 NFL regular-season passes."

Media's having a field day with so many allusions to testicles

Boston Globe:

"From coast to coast, they’re calling the champion a cheater [and a liar].

...

The damage has been done to TB12 and endangers a brand that has made him millions in endorsement income.

...

“In the short term, a dirty bomb just went off right above Brady’s fancy house and he’s going to be radioactive for the next four to six months,’’ said Darren Marshall, executive vice president of rEvolution, a Chicago-based sports marketing agency. “Potential sponsors aren’t going to take his call, and he’s just got to hunker down and get through this.’’

...

How Brady responds to this major public relations crisis could determine the quality of his image for years

...

“Many athletes in the modern era have made mistakes and worse, and in a lot of those situations they have been able to rehabilitate themselves by showing contrition and telling the truth,’’ said Michael Gordon, the principal of Group Gordon, a New York crisis and communications firm. “If Brady holes up and pretends nothing has happened, it would hurt him more in the long run.’’

...

An April consumer survey by The Marketing Arm of Dallas showed Brady ranked relatively low in trustworthiness, though Matt Delzell, the company’s managing director of celebrity talent acquisition, said the results were most likely a reflection of the public’s generally low opinion of the character of players in the NFL.

The firm’s next survey is scheduled for July. “Let’s pay very close attention to Brady’s trust numbers then,’’ Delzell said.

New York Post:

"AMHERST, N.H. — The potbellied pinhead who took the air out of Tom Brady’s balls, and ripped the star quarterback in text messages to a colleague, was in a fighting mood on Thursday as he emerged from his New Hampshire home.

“Get off my property!” Jim McNally, the self-proclaimed “deflator,” shouted to reporters outside his house in Amherst. “I’m not talking! You can sit there all day. You’re wasting your time.”
