Go Don Yee. Kraft's statement should be this scathing.

Kraft already gave his statement last week and it was

"Yes sir please may I have another"

nowayback · May 11, 2015

Why did they even bother with the investigation? some bad drugs being used at NFL offices.

Don Yee, with some strong words, I like it!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am honesty surprised people didn't see this coming. Goodall does not care if the evidence is largely circumstantial all he cares is about saving face after his past mishaps. Nothing less than a backbreaking penalty will do. People outside of new England love Goodell and the media and fans think now he is a great commissioner and will rally behind him.

I know people may not want to hear this and Brady was not found guilty but it damn well seems he was involved in this in some form. Very disappointing Brady appears to have gone to such lengths to get an advantage.

Yee is going to be swinging for the fences on this one.

The NFL can go get ****ed. Shame on Kraft if he's not putting up a fight.

This is literally playing out like the real-world equivalent of Gladiator. The punishment looks like the thumb down from Goody in response to the screaming NFL crowd. As little as I think of the NFL management over Goody's reign, I am shocked by this.

Maybe this is some Machiavellian plan to get arbitrators to shoot down a ridiculous punishment, but I admittedly could not fathom how the NFL would see this as a good choice in business, logic or law. Unless the arbitration result is fixed like the Wells report and all this goes away, Kraft is the owner of a race car that just had the wheels taken off while the field completes 25% of the race. Unless he is blind and stupid, this cannot help his end game as a businessman, and certainly not as the fan he claims to be.

Ha, good one. There are many movie characters/lines applicable to Emperor Goodell. Hell just Clint Eastwood Movies alone have multiple applicability just off the top of my head:

Goodell is Captain Redlegs in The Outlaw Josey Wales when he says to the old woman "doin right ain't got no end"
Goodell is Hal Holbrook in Magnum Force when he says "People are guilty until proven inno.......I mean innocent until proven guilty".

This league has been a f***ing disgrace since 2006!

Words can not express how I feel right now, so here is this:

If that f***ing lowlife Jetdell is intrepid enough to step into Gillette Stadium opening night, then I hope this image above is what awaits him!

People wonder how a doofus like Roger Goodell became commissioner, but there’s no mystery in it. Goodell’s lack of admirable qualities coincides tragically with a desperate need to be admired—he’s an avatar for the league’s plight.

Explained so perfectly...

@JMastrodonato: David Ortiz on Tom Brady suspension: "They [F'd] up on that one."

DaedalusX · May 11, 2015

Yee's statement pretty much confirms that Brady intends to go nuclear over this. And given how much of a disruption this will be for Belichick this season, I hope he opens up his doomsday journal, too.

SVN · May 11, 2015

I hope yee has some material to win this . I really hope they have stuff to release and Tom holds a presser showing some anger and emotion like we are all displaying .I know its legal stuff and he cant say things but If someone blames you when you are 100 % innocent , legal speak be damn , you should be livid .

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.

IIRC, Troy Vincent was a member of the 2004 Philadelphia Eagles team we beat in SB 39. Lol. Joke.

Because this was never about PSI, and it's not about cell phones.

DI, you have been dead spot on about Goodell through it all (Incognito, Rice, now this). Kudos...

@JMCOO

You don't have the correct fact's and the Chargers were not cheating

"Following a review ... the NFL has determined that the club did not violate a competitive rule by use of the towels," the league said.

"However, NFL game officials are charged with protecting the integrity and competitive fairness of the games and club staff members, like players and coaches, have a clear obligation to cooperate in this effort and comply with the direction of game officials.

"As a result of the failure of club staff to follow the directive of a game official to immediately surrender the towels when directed to do so, and to attempt to conceal the towels, the Chargers have been fined $20,000."
