Roughly 200 members of the military were honored on the field prior to the game. Brady and wide receiver Chris Hogan made sure to pay their respects in the form of high-fives.

Not watching any NFL games this season, but if Pats make it to the Super Bowl, I'll watch Brady play (and turn the volume down during the commercials)

My feeling exactly.

If Brady’s class catches on I MIGHT go back in 2 or 3 seasons. Only if I think it is real and not jerry jones pur greed-inspired posturing.

Now there's a picture - a line of sailors following a pretty girl in short-shorts.

Typical squids!

I’m done with the NFL. Even if a few individual players make positive gestures, even if a few teams pull obvious stunts to try to make themselves look better.... its too little, too late. I’m done.

It should come with an apology from the players. That is my requirement.

That’s great, but the entire league is held to account for the behavior of even one.

Should have convinced them otherwise, because it’s too late now.

...and the owners, but I will probably not watch again until the current idiots are no longer in the league.

The greatest danger to young black men in America is other young black men.

Hilarious!

At the same time I find myself thinking that because of men like them, and you, I was able to spend my late teens and early twenties following lots of pretty girls.

Hat’s off to you!

Players have either started tanking games or the next move in the future?
