hammerva Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Tell who is really going to feel stupid is the Colts because if you thought the ass whooping (done mostly without the cheating footballs) was bad in the title game imagine a pissed off QB with 5 weeks of rest. I hope that defense has improved I still say be careful what you wish for because you have to be naive as hell to think Brady is the only one going to get caught. Especially since you now have given the coaches to inspect those footballs to death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I remain baffled why the Colts (with a league leading amount of cap room, a mediocre at best pass rush, and a run defense that was basically a rumor) wasn't the team that backed up the dump truck full of money in the driveway of Suh. I mean, the Pats basically declined to even try to run against the Lions. It wasn't ALL Suh, but a hell of a lot of it was. And against Indy, they looked like a power running team from the 50's.

Ryan Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Burgundy's just upset Captain Neckbeard 2.0 isn't included in the naked male "bonding" photos on the destroyed phone. On a yacht. In international waters. With a group of highly trained "mercenaries" for hire. None of this is sarcasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 This whole 'max fine' part of the story is a non-argument at the moment. He wasn't suspended for deflating balls, he was suspended for conduct detrimental to the integrity of the NFL. This is based off the theory that by lying/destroying evidence he hurt the integrity of the league. That does not have a pre-determined punishment, it is just up to Goodell (a clause the NFLPA agreed to, probably not realizing how it would be used, which I am sure will be changed in the next CBA). Whether or not you agree with it is another issue, but his suspension was not for a equipment violation which is where the 25K talking point comes in. Now a judge may find that he should only be punished for the equipment issue, but at the moment that is not what the fine is based off of. Do I think its way too long of a punishment for what he did? Of course, all teams try to do things to take advantage, I don't think its that big of a deal (and that's coming from someone that doesn't like Brady). But I also think if Brady had just manned up in the first place he probably could have gotten out of the suspension instead of lying about it. So I'll just sit back and enjoy the show while it unfolds and feel sorry for no one since they all did something wrong here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I'll make a dumb analogy. It feels like someone was caught speeding, lied to the officer, and then instead of just writing the person a ticket, they tried to throw that person in jail.

Kevin Wilson Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Something a bit closer but still not exact, how about someone that got pulled over for having marijuana on them, he takes off and destroys the marijuana, then denies he ever had the pot in the first place. So instead of just getting a fine for having marijuana, he also gets ticketed for evading and destruction of evidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Burglars break into a hotel to steal campaign documents. Enough to impeach a president? Or does the cover up get him impeached (or forced to resign if you prefer)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Brady is now claiming his phone was broken before the request and he 'did nothing wrong.' http://deadspin.com/tom-brady-i-did-nothing-wrong-1720807153 Yeah, nice try. IF that's the case, why not say so earlier? Dead spin reporting that the NFL would have cut the suspension in half if Brady had confessed. http://deadspin.com/report-nfl-wouldve-halved-suspension-if-tom-brady-admi-1720810591 from said article: Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the NFL was willing to drop the suspension by “at least 50 percent” if Brady: (1) admitted to having knowledge of whatever John Jastremski and Jim McNally were doing to the footballs; (2) admitted to failing to cooperate with the Ted Wells investigation; and (3) apologized. It’s believed that Brady’s suspension would have been dropped at least to two games, with the possibility of dropping it to one if he were sufficiently persuasive and profuse in his acceptance of guilt.

supremebve Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I think Tom Brady thinks we're dumb...either that or I think he's dumb. He either thinks people are too stupid to see through his bullshit, or he's too dumb to realize that he is in over his head. As soon as he destroyed his phone, everyone who was on his side for not giving up his phone went away. I wouldn't have given Roger Goodell my phone, but breaking his phone when the person he's hiding something from doesn't have the authority to take it makes him look like a fucking idiot.
