I still find it laughable that they felt the 4 games they were going to suspend him for was them doing him a favor and being "lenient":
“The Commissioner explained that the four-game penalty he imposed was “fully consistent with, if not more lenient than,” that policy, which calls for a four-game suspension for a player’s first positive drug test and a six-game suspension if the player is found to have used masking agents— i.e. to have tried, as Brady was found to have done here, “to cover up the underlying violation.”
“While the Commissioner made clear that he did not rely on the steroid policy “to determine the discipline imposed on Mr. Brady,” it “reinforce[d] [his] conclusion … that the discipline imposed on Mr. Brady is not excessive or without precedent, and is in fact fair and reasonable.”
Yes, "fair and reasonable" is exactly what I would call it.
