Brady's appeal denied

[Mr. Scot]

Florio points out that the decision on whether to hear the case in the Supreme Court would be made by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, someone with a rather low opinion of one of Brady's "good friends".

I really don't care how this helps Arizona (which I don't completely agree with but meh, this is what post threads are for) b/c Brady has been a cheater and a thug ever since Lord knows when. Something is telling me Palmer's going to go through The Delhomme Effect right now (i.e. blow crucial playoff games via 5 interceptions and 1 fumble at age 35, haunts you for the rest of your career) so we'll see what happens.

This would have never happened if the NFL prohibited QB's from playing with their own balls.

It pretty much goes without question that the game against them is most important. Actually, I'd say if we can go 3-0 at home against the Vikings and Cardinals and on the road at Seattle, we should be in really good shape for a bye as long as we don't do stupid stuff like lose to the Falcons again. Win those 3 and I'd say 9-4 in the other 13 would almost certainly get us a bye. Not guaranteed, but likely.

Ron Rivera would tell you the most important game is the next one on the schedule.

NFL seasons are unpredictable. There's no way to know who will rise to the top and who will crash to the depths.

You play the team that's set in front of you with everything you've got. That's how you win championships.

I'm sure Pats fans would say that "Caesar" already ruled.

Not sure why any Panthers fans would be happy about this. First game, @Arizona Cardinals. I don't like making one of our key opponents' schedules way easier. We'll be fighting them for home field/first round bye/making playoffs (if Seattle wins division) and I know with Brady that would be a much harder game to win. Without Brady in Arizona and it is an easy win.

Yup.

One other downside, this means we may not play much against Brady in our preseason game against New England.  Given that starters usually play the 1st half of game 3, our #1s may go against Jimmy G.  - thus depriving our very young secondary the chance to learn from playing against Brady.

the only thing that will tarnish his legacy is keeping this stuff in the news by trying to fight it

[the butch]

There is nothing new or novel about CBAs in this case, the Supreme Court will 99.9% not grant cert.

End of the line for Brady/Player's Union and the $25,000,000.00 legal team hired to go after this.

Lmao at the people worrying about the Cards on week 1, WHEN WE ARENT EVEN PLAYING THEM THAT WEEK!! Sound like a bunch of wusses. We win our games and we will be fine.

Well, since I am not on the team, I just like to analyze stuff. Stop taking the fun out of it with the Lombardi speeches!

While the NFL is unpredictable, I am pretty certain that the Vikings, Cardinals and Seahawks are going to be in the playoff mix. No idea who will come out of the NFC East, but if the playoffs aren't a mix of us, Minny, GB, Cardinals, Seahawks and NFC East winner, color me surprised. Having 3 wins against 3 of those teams would be good. Having 2 of those 3 games at home is also good.

Oh heck, no.  Analyze and speculate to your heart's content.  It's part of the fun of being a fan.

I just like to keep in mind that anything can happen.  Take, for example, that nobody saw us coming last season.

Expect a collective weep from all the Massholes.

Am I the only one that thinks brady isn't guilty..? Plus it's not like it affected the game at all. 

Nope. There's a ton of other patriot fans that agree with you. As far as you saying it didn't affect the game, that's terrible logic. It's like a failed robbery, where you argue to the courts you shouldn't be punished because you didn't actually get away with any money.

[usmcpanthers]

Im just glad he cant weasel out of this one. Last year in our FF draft we laughed at Brady getting picked early, then a week later the appeal came in. Made our friend look like a genius picking him. Still mad about that.
