Wells Report concluded that the Patriots violated rules and Tom Brady was aware

I wanted a year for Brady. But NFL suspensions are a joke.
A year would have been a joke. 4 games is probably excessive.

this whole thing is nonsense. the whole country trying to bring down one of the greatest QB ever walked on earth with P S I. lol what a joke.
anyway, there is no evidence of brady telling them to bring the ball down below 12.5. zero evidence.
and it was explained by noble prize winner

you are crazy. ray rice knocks woman unconscious and he got 2 games. brady actually need to sue NFL for tampering his football on Jets game. refs over inflated brady's ball to 16psi.
they already had * because of spygate. that didn't stop them from going to 3 more SBs. let's say brady wins 1 more SB. the whole world will forget about this and just accept brady as one of the greatest QB ever.
anyway, nobody really gives a damn when jerry rice cheated his entire career with stickum. why? because people already know he is great.
brady hate will die down eventually. it takes time. maybe in 7-8 years.
that's a ridiculous accusation. guess what happens when you fumble? BB takes that guy out. and brady played 3 perfect games - all with overinflated or perfect ball
1. jets game - ball was 16psi
2. 2nd half colts game - brady was perfect
3. SB - MVP performance against the best D in the league.
and let's say brady really cheated and played with 11psi ball. guess what? sports science proved that it actually has many disadvantages. also rodgers admitted that he wants 16+ psi ball. guess what? over inflated football is harder to catch if you are not a WR meanings those sure INTs are drops because more often than not DBs have stone hands.
this whole thing is a joke. nobody ever mentions how vikings heated their football against the packers. nobody gives a crap when brad johnson bribed officials, so he can tamper his football eve of SB.
if alex smith or carson palmer did this this is a non story. it may not even be a footnote on espn. but somebody wanted pats to go down, so they didn't even warn the team, and just blitzed pats in AFCC game. they could've easily warn pats, but of course they didn't. they wanted to embarrass the pats.
what a joke. people disgust me. i'm not even a pats fan, and i get that people hate pats. but it is still disgusting.

You're right man. Several years worth of data means nothing. ****, it's crazy how a guy like Benjarvus Green-Ellis never fumbled in NE, and then magically fumbled something like 5 times in 2 years with Cinci. Pure coincidence.

I agree with a year for him. I also fail to see how Belicheat gets off scott free. The NFL suspended Peyton for a full year with no proof of wrong doing just because not knowing was not an excuse. I am also disgusted that the Patriots themselves actually make money in this deal. They will save 1.8M by not paying Brady and their fine was 1M. How can they get busted for employing guys who cheated and basically get paid to do it?

No evidence...except text messages.

Mark me down as a guy who thinks Brady deserves the 4 game suspension (if not more) for messing with the integrity of the game. Do others do it? Absolutely, but they didn't get caught. Brady did, time to pay the price and for the NFL to make an example of somebody in an effort to dissuade things like this from happening again.
Also mark me down as a guy who is PRAYING that Brady loses his appeal and decides to sue the NFL. The thing about Brady refusing to provide select text messages and a 2nd interview for the Wells Report is that the NFL does not have subpoena power, thus they couldn't force him to show anything. The second Brady takes the NFL to court, the league gets to subpoena those records in an effort to defend their decision. I'd love for the NFL to get full, unimpeded access to Brady's phone.

The punishment must fit the crime! You take a life, you pay for it with you own life! A deflated football so small that it's unnoticeable to the naked eye and has NO impact whatsoever or advantage to the offense whatsoever or disadvantage to the defense does not warrant a 4 game suspension! I don't like the Patriots but think Brady is an excellent quarterback, so I'm looking at this from an objective view point! 1 game would have been ok by me, but even that seems excessive to a large extent! This will be discussed back and forth for the next 3 months or until the NFL football season starts again in Sept. More time and energy will be devoted to this topic than the O.J. Simpson trial!
