Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter · 2m 2 minutes ago Filed to ESPN: Tom Brady suspended four games, Pats lose 1st round pick in 2016 and a 4th in 2017, and team fined $1 million, per source:
That’s bs. Way too heavy on the punishment.
Snubbing Barry has a cost.
Now the lawyers get involved.
Cheaters gotta cheat.
“Pats lose 1st round pick in 2016 “
Brady was a sixth round pick.
Brady appeals with the union, and gets two games.
Seems the punishment is disproportionate vs. Brady. What is $1M to the Patriots? Profit from 1 minute of a game?
Anything in there about giving up the Lombardi to Seattle?

In the course of these games, the on-field officials picked up and moved the football after EVERY down. Yet we are expected to believe that they, semi-professionals working games every week, never noticed a thing?! Really?
If the suspension holds, Brady’s first game back would be at Indy.
How is Brady the culprit unless he deflated the balls? How about firing the refs who are responsible ?
They have no evidence Brady did anything do they?
Similarly, what is known could not possibly justify such punitive measures to the Patriots organization.
Gee...that didn’t take long! (sarc. extreme)
White Republican!
White Republican!
Too light on the punishment. The Patriots have demonstrated a pattern of cheating over the years under Belichick. Belichick should have been sat for a year they way Sean Payton was in New Orleans. Brady should have been benched at least 8 games and the fine should have been $10 million.
This punishment is nothing to the Patriots and their owner. It will NOT deter the culture of cheating.
Four games is exactly what I thought was the right punishment for Brady.
