Will Tom Brady be suspended for opening game versus Steelers?

[fansince'76]

Good Lord. If this goes to the Supreme court, it'll be such a waste of the Supreme Court justices' time.

It's already been a gigantic waste of the courts' time and resources (because goodness knows they had ample free time and their calendars were so open to begin with) as well as taxpayer money.

Bottom line: Goodell can do whatever he damn well pleases under the auspices of the Player Conduct Policy. Brady and the rest of the league (outside of Pittsburgh) willfully signed off on that arrangement. Ergo, Goodell DID NOT violate the CBA and it's too late to be having buyer's remorse now. Next.

Brady should be suspended 4 more games if this goes to the Supreme Courtvand the original suspension is upheld.

All the ass had to do was cooperate with the investigation. BUT NOOOO mister best qb ever BS went and destroyed his cellphone. which he had never done before. why would an innocent man destroy evidence that would clear his name. because he wasn't innocent. and all the loophole technicality stuff that they have been using ever since bellyache started all of his crap up there in 00. is comical as heck. No brady didn't let the air out, BUT he told them to do it. and I don't care what story or explanation they try and tell me. I am not believing it. take your punishment like a man. you play in the nfl you have to play by their rules. and all of this posturing BS is like a 5 yr old who gets caught with their hand in the cookie jar. pattcakes =poor sport whiners who think they are the best ever. and above everyone else and the rules no matter what!!!!!

YAWN !!

I have to believe he'll let it go at this point. He had to at least make the effort to appeal or all hell would've broken lose from the fans. He fought it and now I think he'll take the 4 game paid vacation.

Marcia will miss those 4 games, and the Taperiots will go 1-3 in them... thus causing them to get a low seed in the playoffs, wherein they'll be ousted before they have to play the #1 seeded Steelers.

The Steelers will win #7, and Taperiots fans will rejoice in the fact that once again it's ONLY because "the Steelers didn't have to play the Taperiots in the playoffs." Oh well...

Brady should be suspended 4 more games if this goes to the Supreme Courtvand the original suspension is upheld.

Agreed. That whole team's "eff you, we're the Patriots and we can do whatever we want" attitude after getting caught with their hands in the cookie jar (again) is beyond tiresome at this point.

I hate to see his rep tarnished by such idiocy..

He has nobody to blame for that but himself. But yeah, keep blaming all the "jealous haters" and the other 31 teams for it.

Or am I supposed to believe the "deflator/weight loss" narrative or that dumb and dumber (the two equipment managers) took it upon themselves to let air out of those footballs and that he had zero knowledge of it?

Nothing is tarnished. Absolutely nothing.

At the end of the day is was accusing Tom of conspiring to deflate footballs and the NFL jumping the gun, not understanding science and maintaining power over it's players.

Tom's legacy is just fine.

Oh, yeah - "Ideal Gas Law!" Forgot about that one!

Also a sad day for employees everywhere considering this decision not to continue to fight essentially makes arbitration useless.

Uh, no. Most of us are at the mercy of an "at will" employment arrangement and would have been unceremoniously shitcanned for far less than this. Assuming you ever grow up and get out of your mom's basement you'll find that out.

[Steeldude]

One thing is for certain, just like last year, there is no way Goodell will allow the Patriots to face the Steelers without Brady.

[86WARD]

So the only winners in this whole thing turns out to be the lawyers...lol. Admission of guilt from Brady if you ask me...

[smokin3000gt]

Tom Brady drops appeal. Will serve suspension.
