I doubt he does. Any retirement is a win for the league. I do agree with him with this
"The million dollars in addition to the fourth-round pick. ". Must have twisted in the wind deciding between 2nd and 4th rounder.

You want to make an impact, a real impact that at least has a snowball's chance in hell as making a difference, his Goodell where it hurts, where it gets the media ll riled up. Something like "More Probable Than Not Roger Goodell thinks a 2 game suspension for spousal abuse is fair".

I would like to thank Troy Vincent for that letter he wrote, though. Prior to that, I didn't think Brady had a prayer of winning a defamation suit. Now he's got a shot.

IF kraft is truly behind brady he wont celebrate the banner on opening night nor have any act or stage show . Play it like a normal game .
And I hope Brady and BB stop giving any interviews to any of the networks.

Oh I am sure that the Pats are keeping score on who in the media behaved like a jackass. There will be consequences.

The rest of the league would love for Belichick to retire. They have had enough of him being smarter than them.

BB and Brady should both retire. I'm sure they are sick of this ****.

Yeah I started to watch SB39 looking for potential screenshots of his azz getting burned--then looked to see what number he was and realized he wasn't on the team. SO many people had said he was that I wanted to believe...

He was a member of the Eagles the year prior (iirc McNabb got injured in a regular season game against the Pats that season too), and a member of the division rival Bills soon after. It would not surprise me if Vincent had an axe to grind.

You really think Kraft has the guts to do that? He is going meekly.

FIX WAS IN!!! It was a BIG SET UP from git'go. Kraft Grow some Balls and come out swingin and show Brady, Your Org. & Us Fans and EVERYONE, EVERY WHERE that your Presser SB week wasn't just a smoke screen with false bravado and finish this and not put on your Flyin Elvis Knee Pads for Goodell.
NO BANNER Ceremony until Brady's first home game!

The next step for Brady is his appeal. It’s likely, when taken to a third party, that his suspension will be reduced. That’s probably why the NFL made his punishment so steep, so when it’s knocked down, it’s still harsh.

Nah, it goes against their competitive nature. It may have the opposite effect and they say "**** it, let's win 3 straight SB's and shove it in their faces".

What is in that letter that you felt brady might use against the league ? Just curious for my knowledge.

**** Kraft. BB, Caserio & Co. are the real front office.

Thanks, buddy....THAT will be printed on 5000 flyers I intend to pass out before game one in all the parking lots and inside the Razor. I was only going to spring for 30 K flyers but a good buddy in the printing biz has offered me a half price deal...I'm thinking 50,000 sheets with the most vicious, over the top insults of Goodell and his cronies as legally possible.

I'll need volunteers as the game approaches. There is nothing illegal about handing out circulars so don't worry.

A first round pick is absurd, and I hate the Pats.

• Apparently there is language in the judgement that the lost pick is their first pick in the round. Aka if they trade into the first round, they can only trade in after wherever their pick would have been.

wow

The one positive from this all. If the reaction after the kc loss last year sparked the performance it did, imagine how big a chip Brady's gonna have after this garbage.

Except New England , America is celebrating....of course some think it wasn't harsh enough. That is the reality of jealousy .
