none at all or a game one first half ..max this is all BS

[jjgold]

its a joke

why are we talking about this?

[Reload]

Yeah wonder if they pull a Johnny Football and just suspend for one half of the opener.

[slacker00]

I've got the solution. 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty applied retroactively to the Colts-Pats game.

[pavyracer]

What Brady did was worse than Pete Rose did and Rose is still banned.

Brady should be banned from NFL. You can't mess with the integrity of the game.

I was wondering who was playing all of those football inflation props. Brady a degenerate gambler, I lose all respect.

[bob6199]

I never cared to much for deflate gate, I have a problem with the pats keep having to find a way for an edge.
You have the so called best QB in the league and the best coach why do you need to keep cheating?

every football team in the league does what the pats got caught for, the pats just were stupid enough to get caught, you're insane if you don't think all 32 QB's like their balls a certain way.

agree 100%, those after Brady's head for this are just haters.

[CarloTwoGuns]

lol you understand there is NO PROOF .. its PROBABLE he knew .. its also PROBABLE that the WARRIORS will win the championship this year .. doesnt mean they will .. Patriots haters galore lol .. #PATSNATION

[opie1988]

Probable is all that's needed for the NFL to punish him.

This is a private company disciplining one of its employees. Not a federal trial.

Enjoy Jimmy Garrapolo for 3-4 games. #PatsNation

[STAX]

If Brady is suspended more than 4 games Ill leave the site forever

[Bandit]

The Wells (Fargo) bunch wanted access to his cell phone looking for pic's of giselle
When he refused, they decided he was guilty, sort of, maybe, just fuk'n sort of

Wells shit decision released in paperback has 2 many holes and opens up 10,000 more questions.
The big hurdle for the NFuckL is the 25K fine for screwing with the balls./.././ - How can they fine Brady 1/2 Mil as many are reporting.
What fuk'in bullshit

bobby

[BeanTownClown88]

Goodell is the primary investor into wells company.,wells wrote a story on how second hand smoke isn't real...the guy has a screw loose and isn't fit to determine any type of judgement..I'm sure Brady will speak and further cloud the truthfulness of the report which didn't address some of the glaring questions

[slacker00]

The NFL comes away looking so stupid. If the balls are this important, they should be locked in a box until kickoff.

[R.P. McMurphy]

Exactly Slacker! And how do you single out 1 player/team when other Qb's past /present have come forward admitting same. League just needs to release a statement written up by their p.r. people stating "Its come to our attention (like they didn't know lol) this is and has been an ongoing problem for many years and we are taking action on how the balls are prepped for a gm AND be locked away and secured till gametime". That simple really no suspension , fine or any other b.s. issue addressed and we move on. Only a moron who's clueless thinks a suspension is warranted here.

Please link me to source where other QB's have admitted having the game balls deflated by their equipment managers after they were inspected by the referees.

Not saying others haven't done it...simply saying others haven't been caught.

Of course he's going to be suspended. If the NFL was to turn their back on someone blatantly caught cheating, where would it ever end?

This wouldn't have been such an issue if both teams use same balls like in basketball or soccer. You can't have one team playing with deflating balls and the other with regulation balls in the same game.

[slacker00]

The problem is that the NFL caters to the QB, the NFL wants to give every team's QB maximum advantage. Each team's QB oversees the preparation, integrity and selection of the game day footballs so that it gives every NFL QB maximal advantage. The NFL wants it both ways: the QB to have a maximum edge and the game to be fair, but that's a direct contradiction.

[BeanTownClown88]

The ref was told to watch the balls, he didn't..when the balls were returned he checked them, if they felt flat why didn't he add air?..then we wouldn't even be talking about this

[slacker00]

Yeah, the NFL really dropped the ball all around. Even the investigation seems haphazard, it's all he-said-she-said.

Going into next season the NFL needs to sort this out. Have a PSI scale right next to the replay booth.

[GUMMO77]

Refs fault?

[meader99]

Perhaps it wouldn't be such an issue if this wasn't an organization that has already had the hammer dropped for cheating in the past. Just sayin'.

[BeanTownClown88]

When Bill Walsh cut the headset off so parcels couldn't talk to his qb from the sideline, parcels said hey Bill do that once more and see what happens.,Bill Walsh, coach of the great Joe Montana said ..just a little gamesmanship parcels...

The refs are not rocket scientists..he had 1 main job and failed

[slacker00]

Refs fault?

It's the ref's job to insure the balls are regulation. Refs checked them and then they disappeared, on the ref's watch.

[swordsandtequila]

Won't be punished for fukn' with the balls, but for lying/covering it up. If he'd owned up to it would have been a fine and have a nice day. He's the NFL's golden boy. Probably get a couple games suspension then move along. Anything less and every other player that's been disciplined will go nuts.

[ttwarrior1]

they will cheat their way out of this somehow, will end up being 1 game or something

[nyplayer33]

susp for season..um no

[Bandit]

susp for season..um no

Yep, I agree...........maybe 1 or 2 but I doubt it. Really, he is a STAR - God help us ROG - Coselle - NO GAMES suspension

[slacker00]

If Brady sits a single game, it's injustice. This happened as a team, they should be punished as a team. Forfeit picks.

[EaglesPhan36]

I think zero games also. Show me any proof that he told them to deflate a ball. If this was an actual legal process, any lawyer worth his salt would get Brady off Scott-Free.

He'll get something though because Goodell is a pussy.

Depends on whether he's charged with a crime or just being held liable/responsible. Different burden of proof. Not enough here to "convict", but more than enough to hold him liable.

There is 0 chance that he gets 0 games. He will get 2 games bare minimum; I think probably 4. Importantly, he also was not entirely candid during interviews and was less than entirely cooperative. All of that will be cited.

[smoke a bowl]

I can see it now, here's the meeting.
Goodell: Tom I'm sorry but I have to suspend you for 8 games.
Brady: Well I'm just going to go ahead and retire then commish.
Goodell: Did I say 8 game suspension Mr Brady? Oh sorry, I mean 8 games probation.
