They tried. They would’ve halved pretty much everything as long as Brady was willing to admit at least some guilt. They literally met Brady halfway and Brady told them to get bent because he didn’t want to admit anything, at least not in public.

Correct me if I’m wrong, I’ll go back and look, but I think you misread that. From my understanding, he explained that he used to keep his phone number and transfer it phone-to-phone UNTIL the Wells Report came out. After the report was issued, some people figured out his phone number, so he got a new number.

You’re misreading that exchange.

The other key thing I drew from this is that the penalty applied to Brady was from a set of rules Brady did not have access to and that did not apply to players in general. This is one of the key points (rightly so) of the NFLPA’s case.

Troy Vincent being a moron was a pretty prominent takeaway from the transcript. It wasn’t new information per se, the hearing just highlighted it well.

Unless I work for the government in a national security position, if my employer asks to see my personal cellphone, I would tell them to go shove an iphone 6 plus up their ass.

Retirement, Day 1: Tom Brady goes on a coke bender and beats a pool store employee to death with a perfectly inflated football because they don’t carry white pool covers.

is this how most grown adults write email? bad spelling, missing punctuation, run-on sentences, etc? I am roughly Brady’s age and I still write emails like they are going to be graded for substance and structure. (Deadspin comments, not so much.) but, I am also a nitpicking asshole.

Really refreshing to see that even Tom Brady has a boss who sends him weird, punctuationless emails containing phrases like “clear understanding”

“Gold Leader, we’re outnumbered!”

People trying so hard to hate on this, it’s actually hilarious.

Ugh. News about games on my games news site. So gauche.

Yeah, I was expecting a bunch of morning drunk, lululemon wearing sorority girls causing a kerfuffle. Not a bunch of alums at a national conference carrying GASP!!! BOOKS!!!! Meanwhile, didn’t the TSA just fail like 97% surprise tests of screening actual guns, knives and incendiary devices?

Old cars, sure. But shitty?

My boob.

Look, I was going through a bad break-up, OK?

I taught a summer class in a kindergarten a few weeks ago and I threw my back out for the first time. The kids called me old and fat.

I’ve seen people who I watched be born graduate high school. I’ve witnessed my music going from 8-tracks and tapes into digital downloads.
