"But my lawyers said...and I'm a union guy, so you can't.....and....blah blah blah..."

Reading his 'statement', my eyes rolled so far into the back of my head that I'm still staring at the ceiling and laughing...

So true.
If he didn't want to set a precedent by turning over his personal phone, lock it up in a safe and wait for the court order, if one ever did come.

I was waiting for the fans to get all over his jock in support once the suspension was upheld. I do agree though since there is a considerable amount of money at stake teams will do whatever they think they can get away with to win. It just turns out Brady and the Patriots are under this illusion they wont be caught or wont be punished when they are. I also still believe the NFL plays favorites depending on who is in trouble or how much trouble. Drunk driving and heroin possession is only 2 games? Steroids first offense 1 to 10 games, second offense 4 games to life reduced to one season. There are numerous other references that could be made as well. Simply put he got caught he tried to hide it and got caught hiding it. He should have just manned up from the beginning admit it and defied the NFL to treat him unfairly according to their already warped sense of right and justifiable punishment.

For all those who say Brady's reputation is done; would you trade your QB for him right now? If not, why?
[Reply]

I wouldnt but that is because while I believe he is a great QB he is at the twilight of his career while our QB is at the beginning. However he would be a kick ass back up! I still dont like him though.
[Reply]

I said his reputation in the public arena is done -- doesn't mean he's not a fantastic QB. I'm a Bills fan. I'll take Brady over the flotsam & jetsam my team's assembled at that position. Hell, I'll take Garoppolo.

This isn't about Brady's abilities on the field. It's about his legacy. Four Super Bowl titles; MVP in 3 of them -- all tarnished because of this. Outside of New England, he's basically A-Rod in shoulder pads.
[Reply]

Nope.
Wouldn't do it before either.
Mine has beaten him twice in Super Bowls.:-)
[Reply]

Tom Brady can use my balls.
[Reply]

I will trade Jay Cutler for him, and even throw in George Halas' frozen head, Moses. :-)
[Reply]

Including Aaron Rodgers, who unequivocally stated he sneaked over-inflated balls into games...yet not a single NFL fan or league official seems to care.
[Reply]

And meanwhile, as people still obsess over this ridiculousness, Adrian Pederson reported to training camp and was greeted with cheers. Really, cheers? Of course, he didn't do anything as offensive as tampering with footballs, he only whipped a four-year old boy so savagely on the legs, buttocks, genitals, and thighs that six hours after the beating the wounds were still seeping blood. But hey, that son-of-a-gun can run with a football really well, so who cares...
[Reply]

No. I would not want Brady on my team. He's good, but he carries way too much baggage. Besides, to second a previous comment, my QB has already beaten him in 2 Super Bowls.
[Reply]

Nope. Because we have bar none the best quarterback in the league leading our team. :-)
[Reply]

Are your balls perfect?

Mine are
[Reply]

I would not. I don't like dicks on my team. The stench makes me ill.
[Reply]

Do you expect Tom Brady to be greeted by boos from Pats fans? :-)

But hey, that son-of-a-lying-cheating-evidence destroyer can throw a football really well, so who cares....
[Reply]

Fixed.:-)
[Reply]

Please explain ARod. :-)
[Reply]

Explain what? He's a dick, I don't like him on my team, and his stench makes me ill. :-)

Still, he does differ from Brady in two respects. Imprimis, he has been a model citizen so far this year, and kept his mouth shut even when prodded, e.g. with the landmark bonus issue and the ballhog holding his 3000th hit hostage. Secundus, he protested a 200+ game suspension, and served the 162 game one. Brady is whining about a lousy 4 games.
