No dirty tricks by NFL:
Don’t expect @NFL to seek an injunction to keep Tom Brady off the field as they appeal this ruling. Basically, he’s playing this season. https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/639445385405165568
If I were Goodell, the Patriots now would be permanently on my radar. Special attention to them every game, practice, everything. Why? Because this stuff hurts the league's credibility and no one owner should come before the rest of the league.

Yes, but that's over now. Goodell has been verbally beaten constantly over the past year or two. It's clear that the large majority of the fans outside of New England and even the media have revolted against Goodell's past treatment of the Patriots. This suspension and fine is a prime example of the pendulum swinging in the other direction now. Too bad the courts rejected the NFL's punishment.

The Brady Bunch
This is why I'm saying he now has an axe to grind in when it comes to the Patriots.
Some owner's don't want to see an appeal: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...46?is_shared=t
Goodell's message to the public:
Wow, that's big and before anyone else says it: that's what she said.

The NFL screwed up the Brady-specific stuff from the get-go, so they deserve the adverse ruling.

This is much ado about nothing. It really is. I'm no Pats fan but what Brady did(even if it's true) is not cheating. And doesn't really warrant this much attention. This whole thing has turned into a gong show.
It's funny though how Goodell is so focused about this. The SAME GUY that covered up the whole Ray Rice scandal. Then there's the Greg Hardy case. The guy almost killed his wife for fucks sake and for some reason only got a 4 game suspension? HOW COME NOBODY'S TALKING ABOUT THIS???? read his story. Hardy should be in jail. Then there's Adrian Peterson, Ray McDonald. I can go on and on.
Goodell should focus his attention to a more serious matter.Last edited by The Great One; Thu Sep 3, 2015, 04:49 PM.Mamba Mentality

There have been many pros who have come out and said that balls deflated to that level would offer three considerable advantages:
- Passing: Easier to grip, providing obvious advantages.
- Receiving: Easier to catch as it won't be as springy.
- Rushing: Easier to hold the ball as the runner can cradle it more securely into their body.
Essentially that could lead to better passes, especially in colder conditions. Better receiving production as they'll have an easier time corralling the tough to catch passes. Less fumbles as the ball will be more difficult to strip. Overall that would result in the Patriots suffering less turnovers and in the playoffs and even late in the season those turnovers are greatly amplified.

Knowingly and willingly breaking the rules for that advantage should be punished.Heir, Prince of Cambridge
