Brady, Patriots respond to "Deflategate" penalties
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady plans to appeal a four-game suspension imposed by the NFL for using under-inflated footballs in the AFC title game, his agent said Monday night.
The league punished the Super Bowl MVP five days after an investigation by Ted Wells determined Brady "was at least generally aware" that two Patriots employees planned to alter the footballs after they were inspected by game officials in the so-called "Deflategate" scandal.
The NFL also fined the Patriots $1 million and forced the team to give up two draft picks, including next year's first-round selection.
8:24 Yes, they did...and, no, they shouldn't. If that's the case, may as well remove all of the Steelers rings too (High steroid use). And the 49ers (WR using stickum). And... so on and so on.
This is a rule violation, which is different than cheating. They have no evidence, yet had to make a mockery out of the league to shut the whining minority up. Sounds just like government, huh?
If this was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers we wouldn't be having this conversation. Because they never win.
People are jealous of the Pats for all of their success. If the NFL suspended every player who ever violated the rules we would have an empty field to look at.
Best way to stop this kind of cheating and send a clear message, strip the team of the win and require all money and rings given up and sold off for a charity or research on helmet injuries.
He got off. Remember Pete Rose no different he should be ban for life as was Pete Rose. He knew. Does this mean a get away drive for a bank holdup since they were not involved since they were only " at least generally aware" and not directly involved in the robbery

ReplyDeleteI agree but it won't stand.
ReplyDeleteSo, did they really win the Super Bowl? How about giving those rings back?

It won.t stand. Roger dodger will cave to his buddy Robert Craft.
ReplyDeleteHow exactly is a rules violation different than cheating? It's actually the definition of cheating.

If the Rules state that you can only wear white socks and a player wears black socks that is a rules violation, not cheating.
ReplyDeleteBig difference.
