    There is a Good Chance Brady's Suspension Will Be Reduced

    To the surprise of no one, Brady will appeal.

    Tom Brady will appeal his four-game DeflateGate suspension.

    "The discipline is ridiculous and has no legitimate basis," Brady's agent Don Yee said. "In my opinion, this outcome was pre-determined; there was no fairness in the Wells investigation whatsoever. There is no evidence that Tom directed footballs be set at pressures below the allowable limits. ... We will appeal, and if the hearing officer is completely independent and neutral, I am very confident the Wells Report will be exposed as an incredibly frail exercise in fact-finding and logic. The NFL has a well-documented history of making poor disciplinary decisions that often are overturned when truly independent and neutral judges or arbitrators preside." There's a pretty good chance Brady's suspension will be reduced.

    They need to reduce it by one game so he can face the Cowboys. Can't have a prime matchup without him back in the game.

    Probably reduced down to 2 games. The loss of draft picks hurts the Pats even more than the Brady suspension.

    I think Brady will win the appeal and it will be reduced to two games, BUT if for some reason he doesn't:

    Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter
     If Tom Brady does not win his appeal, Eastern Illinois would have two starting QBs squaring off in Week 5: Tony Romo vs. Jimmy Garoppolo.

    Sounds like the appeal will test that opinion from what his lawyer says.

    Didn't the report only say Brady 'probably' knew?

    Big difference with Cassel, his contract was up and Pats had to slap the franchise tag to get some trade value, there was no way the Pats could hold on to Cassel anyway. Garapolo still has 3 or 4 years left on his deal. Plus Brady will be 37 this year, how many more years does Brady realistically have left? Garapolo is also the highest pick for the Pats since Bledsoe, they are going to give Garapolo a realistic shot to be Brady's heir groomed behind Brady like Aaron Rodgers was groomed behind Favre. If Garapolo shows much of anything, we might see Brady pushed out the door just like Favre or Montana. Time stops for no man and Brady's days are numbered anyway.

    I don't see Brady's suspension getting cut unless he starts to cooperate. He'll have to give up the phone.

    I don't see why Brady didn't think of deleting the texts and then handing over the phone. Some guys automatically delete their texts anyway

    Wasn't he suspended for not cooperating with the NFL in the investigation? This whole thing makes no sense to me? Doesn't a game official touch the footballs on every down to mark the new spot? If the balls were under inflated to an extent that it gave them un unfair advantage, why wouldnt a game official notice this during the game????

    "Deflategate" is a misnomer. It's the fiasco of stealing both teams' ball bags, toilet room and stonewalling about it.
