it was technically illegal the whole time.

The Patriots’ defense for Spygate—when they were caught taping a Jets practice—

Seriously, if you want to end the entire football program over this, then tell me why you’d stop there? Why not the basketball program, too? Surely the entire athletics department is wrong and everyone should see that a few morons ruin it for the whole community. Hey, tell me why you don’t suspend the marching band…

Then find someone else to run the program for the good kids.

Hey, you’re the one who say “The coach: fired.” So you tell me why you didn’t call out the whole coaching staff when you wrote your first rant.

Why suspend the whole program? There are a lot of other players who did nothing wrong.

If he can’t pitch, they should put him on the DL for the remaining weeks.

My prediction: Brooks will get a 2 game suspension, McDonald gets 3, and somehow Brady gets 1.

The NFL passed a rule requiring every team have a freak preseason ACL injury to a WR. The Patriots are going to be the only team prepared to adjust to that rule by signing an extra WR backup.

$34,000 - not for an entire car, but simply added equipment.

and that’s why the NFL wants Brady to admit guilt - so they can change the entire narrative and get away from the irrationality of what they claimed they were doing with the cooperation suspension.

If the mechanic may be responsible after only 2 months and 400 miles, how many months/miles do you think are absolutely no longer the mechanic’s responsibility?

SB 18, 1984. The Raiders were in LA that season. (Their previous two titles were in Oakland.)

The one thing that would concern an owner would be a high priced big bat who can’t field and was expected to DH. Thankfully, the Brewers had no such offense to worry about.

If tradition holds, he should be paid whatever Rivers gets plus whatever Nate Keading gets.

will Goodell now suspend Brady for refusing to cooperate with the 4 game suspension?

Steve Lyons dropping his pants may make the list, though certainly at position 5 behind all those.
