This story is developing. Please check back for further updates.

The National Football League suspended New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for four regular season games without pay "for conduct detrimental to the integrity of the NFL," the league announced Monday afternoon.

The league also announced that the team—which won the Super Bowl earlier this year—would be fined $1 million and forced to forfeit its first-round pick in the 2016 draft and its fourth-round selection in the 2017 draft.

He will definitely appeal.

Will he be back against Dallas?

vs Pittsburgh, Sept. 10
at Buffalo, Sept. 20
vs Jacksonville, Sept, 27
BYE
at Dallas, Oct. 11th

[d2bets]

4 games exactly what I said. The monetary and draft picks even more steep than expected.

[Big Bear]

Will this have an impact on the Jets futures ??????


Jets will win the division now as Patriots almost a lock to start the year 0-4

Bahahaha. Are you kidding? 2-2 at worst. Frankly, would not be surprised at all if Jimmy Garropolo does well.

[Vinnie Paz]

Dolphins gonna take that east now

[Itsamazing777]

Breaking news. Brady suspended 4 games

Goodell trying to save face.

[Vinnie Paz]

He will definitely appeal.

Says 4 GAMES. Not 4 weeks

[Vegas39]

Bahahaha. Are you kidding? 2-2 at worst. Frankly, would not be surprised at all if Jimmy Garropolo does well.

He will do well then get big free agent contract like Matt Cassel did

I wouldn't lien that way

[will2survive]

I'm sick of the Patriots getting away with murder. Well...not in Aaron Hernandez's case. Robert Kraft and Goodell are buddy buddy. total bullcrap. It's a slap on the hand. CHEATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stealthyburrito]

What an over reaction.

the 4 games is probably for his refusal to cooperate with the investigation more so than the actual deflating.

[Vinnie Paz]

Buffalo will beat them. No chance they win that in buffalo with Rex there. Guy treats New England games like the Super Bowl and now no brady? Forget about it

[Vegas39]

I wouldn't lien that way

[Ra77er]

I tend to lien on the side of "this punishment is not enough", no offense Patriot fans.

[Booya711]

What an over reaction.

the 4 games is probably for his refusal to cooperate with the investigation more so than the actual deflating.

Stealthy gets it...

[newguy]

Will get cut to no more than 3 games so he has bye week to prep for a big game against Dallas - if it isn't cut in half. Either way it won't be less than 2 I can't imagine, I am guessing it stays at 3 games after appeal. I thought they would lose a 1st round - I found it interesting they lost the 4th round as well the next year but actually think this is pretty spot on by the NFL

[MoneyLineDawg]

Back to the drawing board for Belichick and the Pats...time for cheating scandal #3

[slacker00]

That's more than even the biggest Pats haters expected. 1st rounder is huge. Brady gone quarter of the season.

[newguy]

Absolutely it is. Straight from the clinton playbook. "I have nothing to hide so you don't need to see anything"

[will2survive]

That's more than even the biggest Pats haters expected. 1st rounder is huge. Brady gone quarter of the season.

Should be 1 year minimum. Kraft and Goodell are close friends. Everyone knows it.

[t-wizzle]

Pretty much what we expected.

Opie your Cowboys lucked out pal.

[DOM_Toretto]

Pretty appropriate punishment in my opinion

[Vinnie Paz]

Even with brady they won't Dallas

And this is coming from me

[d2bets]

He will do well then get big free agent contract like Matt Cassel did

Could be. Not sure of his contract situation. Garoppolo is a big unknown, but I have a suspicion he could be really good.

[opie1988]

Even with brady they won't Dallas

And this is coming from me

Vincent gets it

[Ra77er]

I just think about the Sean Peyton deal. The guy got a full year gone, for in essence tampering with the game. Who knows if those 'bounties' really affected any outcomes but the intent behind it is bad. Same situation with Brady here to me. DON'T MESS WITH THE GAME PEOPLE. lol

[Rich Boy]

This is pretty bad for them now.

What other team has 2 first round draft picks taken away from them?

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Says 4 GAMES. Not 4 weeks

I know that. But this will get appealed. Which is why I asked if you guys think he will be back against Dallas.

He should be back against Jacksonville.
