Patriots fans are the only ones who think Brady is innocent LMAO

They're even throwing Kraft under the bus. Brady with that fake politician smile.

 

I was reading their blog and they were banning anyone who had any opinion to the contrary that belief. Talk about being delusional in a circle jerk. What do you expect anyways, fans are going to be fans, only a few are ever objective.

And non-Patriots fans are demanding a ridiculous punishment due to their hatred for the team.

 

I don't hate that team. Brady was actually my fav QB going into this offseason. I even opened a thread for him in "The Lounge" subforum.

 

I find the lengths to which he went to have the balls manipulated after the refs have certified them disgusting. Including the fact that he personally lobbied circa 2006 to have teams handle their own balls. The intent to cheat, when other players are busting their ass the correct way and suffering injuries whiles at it is honestly disrespectful to the game and all those involved.

 

Can you imagine what will happen when the integrity of the game has been compromised? No one will take such a sport seriously.

Goodell reportedly believes that he needs to discipline Brady for two different violations: First, for his involvement in having footballs under-inflated. And secondly, for his refusal to allow the Deflategate investigation to have access to his cell phone records.

Not to defend Brady too much in this, but that bolded part is a load of BS.

forget about the cell phone records, it's irrelevant. That's why I left out that bolded part out when I posted this yesterday in the main Brady thread. He's getting disciplined for lying to NFL investigators during the formal interview:

Everyone is saying 4 to 8 games which is reasonable

No it's not. He didn't directly deflate the balls and the report can't even say with 100% certainty that he actually knew about it. Plus you have people in this very thread calling for 10 plus games. So no it's not everyone being reasonable. It's more like non patriot fans being bitter.

The report shows with 99.9% certainly that Brady ordered the deflations, unless you believe the 00.1% chance that Jim the Deflator and John the Equipment Assistant wrote those texts with the intention of setting Brady up

here's a nice image showing 29 pertinent text messages from May 2014 to Dec 2014:

for ex:

John the Equipment Assistant: "Tom is acting crazy about his balls. Ready to vomit"

Jim the Deflator: "Tom sucks...I'm going to make that next ball a f****** balloon"

John the Equipment Assistant: "I checked some of the balls this morning. ..the refs f***** us...a few of them were almost at 16"

Jim the Deflator: "F*** Tom, 16 is nothing...wait until next Sunday"

Jim the Deflator: "Make sure you blow up the ball to look like a rugby ball so Tom can get used to it before sunday"

John the Equipment Assistant: "can't wait to give you your needle this week :)"

Jim the Deflator: "F*** Tom. Make sure the pump is attached to the needle. F****"

John the Equipment Assistant: "I have a big needle for you this week"

Jim the Deflator: "better be surrounded by cash and new shoes...or it's a rugby sunday. F*** Tom"

John the Equipment Assistant: "maybe you will have some nice size 11s in your locker"

John the Equipment Assistant: "big game tonight"

Jim the Deflator: "tell Tom i need courtside"

You think he didn't know? Lol

It doesn't matter if he didn't directly deflate the balls, he was the one who ordered every thing. And he lied about it.

Don't NFL players get 4 for steroids? I'd say that is an unfair advantage.

Give Brady 4 for seeking and/or using deflated footballs for an advantage. Give him another 2 for not cooperating/lying to the investigators.

6 games seems about right to me.

if it was a normal player, I'd do 4 for cheating and 4 for lying, half-season suspension. But we are talking about a star player here, one of the biggest stars in the game. Every game Brady misses will become less interesting to watch, and the less viewers, the more money the NFL loses, which is not good for Goodell. I rag on Brady plenty, but I still want to see him play.

I think they should give Brady a 2-3 game suspension and then do the rest of his punishment in other ways (make him ineligible for the Pro Bowl this year, make him ineligible for the NFL Awards ceremony this year, make him issue a public apology, stuff like that)

2-3 games should be enough because it will be a big deal when he is suspended for the NFL Kickoff game on primetime 8:30 p.m. ET NBC when the Steelers go to New England

But I want to see Brady play:

-the 4th Game (at Dallas in JerryWorld)

-the 5th Game (at the Colts on Sunday Night Football)

-the 7th Game (Thursday Night Football vs Suh and the Phins)

-the 11th Game (Brady vs Manning Sunday Night Football in Denver)

so i hope they keep it to 3 or less and do the rest of his punishment in other ways

as for the Patriots as a whole, they had 3 employees caught in a cheating ring, and this isn't the first time the Patriots have been caught cheating, so they need to be fined, lose a draft pick(s), etc
