The Axe has fallen. Brady has been suspended for four games

And Ray Rice got 2 games? This makes the NFL look like a joke.

What a steaming pile of ****. Chargers got a 20k for stickum.

Not that I agree with Brady's suspension by any stretch of the imagination...but I suppose, given the recent leaks that it isn't all too surprising. But why fine the team and take draft picks? This "thorough" report that Goodell is putting all his faith in stated that they found nothing of the sort that put blame on the Patriots or any of its leadership. Why fine the team? And why 1 million ****ing dollars?!

Wtf is Troy Vincent? (I know) and how much balls does he have to send that letter to TB? What a loser. The NFL offices need to be razed. Loers? Do what you want, slap on the wrist. Go against parity(without having media GOAT) we are gonna hammer you. They've shown the frauds they are.

i've said this 1000x about kraft...the man cares more about how his team looks to the rest of the nfl than he does about his own players or fans.

Goodell: "We relied on the critical importance of protecting the integrity of the game & thoroughness and independence of the Wells report."

Integrity and independence? This guy can clearly do whatever the f he wants because the other owners will support him. Is the tide still turning?


I would honestly be happy if Goodell were murdered.

Come 5th game, there will be hell to pay.

OK. I'll leave this one to you, guys. It's beyond absurd, but I've got enough craziness in my life ...

The damage is done. The pats of the 2000s will forever be known as the team which 2 1st round picks taken away by the league for cheating. Iam surprised Goodell didnt announce a suspension for BB.

Well...the team that had 2 first round picks taken away and STILL went to 6 ****ing SBs and won 4!

says the 4 game sticks. He comes back indy game?

I am not surprised. I expect Goodell to take away a high pick. More surprised he went light on Brady. I expected at least 6-8 games.

Roger stuck his finger in the air and wind said to lay the hammer down.

What letter? I'm far too disgusted to visit any news related website other than PatsFans?

Hopefully the penalty against the Pats is so severe it dampens an alleviation of Brady's suspension. I'm shocked at the penalty to the team.

Seriously, there's not much i can do against that from here

But PLEASE go nuclear about this, this a complete joke!!!! Thoroughness of the report!?!?! R U EVN SRIOS

Jastremski and McNally got hammered on this, too. This was clearly a witch hunt.

I feel for those guys.

If this is true, we can safely assume Goodell is not going to be making an appearance at Foxboro for opening day.

Kraft might want to think about taking the day off, too.

Seems excessive for something that had less impact on the outcome of a game than, say, not calling in the grasp or ignoring blatant pass interference.

The draft pick takes it from simply excessive to surreally so. (Edit: Though I guess that and the fine are appeal-proof?)
