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

[p19101]

4 games is nothing, if he is guilty it would be more fitting to have him suspended for the whole season.

This is all a joke anyway. The deflation was a non-factor in that game.

I agree, the supposed coverup is worse than the 'crime' itself.

As long as it doesn't matter anyway, let the teams inflate the balls to how they want them. I wonder if the illegal footballs A J Feeley saw being used against his lousy 2004 Miami Dolphins team mattered that game? Everyone knows in any football game there's only 4 or 5 game changing plays at most in any given game. New England was still playing with a 10 point lead in the Indy game and not behind 10 at halftime. Easier to pour it on against a bad defense with a 2 score lead than behind 2 scores.

NFL is not punishing based on the outcome of that game. This has been going on in every game for the last 10 years. They got caught in the game they didn't need to deflate the balls. But in the previous game they barely beaten the Ravens with deflated balls. In fact, its the Ravens players who tipped the Colts about the cheating. NFL is not punishing based on the outcome of the game. It's like if you get caught for a DUI and you totaled your car in the wreck but didn't sustain any injuries you still go to jail. You can't say to judge..hey no one got hurt I should not be punished. The penalty is a deterrent so you won't do it again.

It's time for Boston sports to fail again.

Opie all excited because with no Brady it is possible his Cowboys could beat Pats in wk 4.

Hopefully Pats don't win Super bowl next year. If they do win with Brady suspended 4 games and not cheat then Tom Brady will really think he is the shit

I'm shocked Pats @ 10-1 to repeat. I know they lost some guys, but their D is still better than bigger favs GB & IND.

Seems about right though. No team is really a clear cut favorite at this stage. How Indy gets so much love with zero defense is kind of a head scratcher though.
