The people who are accepting this as absolute fact, and not yet another leak from the league office in a lame attempt to leverage Brady some more - are truly mystifying to me.

Jason Cole has been NFL leak central for outlets not named ESPN or NFLN.

While I agree it's probably just propaganda, it wouldn't be the first time a union failed to close ranks and took the side of the bosses.

Again, I will state that the Tom Brady/Bill Belichick are the MOST HATED TEAM in united states team sports history.

I challenge ANYONE to come up with another team that has been nationally pilloried to the extent have the Patriots.

When 76% of the country thinks your team and quarterback "cheated" there's no way the player reps would support Brady.

It's not just the hatred, it is the f#cking level and fervor of the hatred that most of the country espouses....

Soooo.....you're not a Pats fan?

of course they're pissed. the patriots are a tough match in a normal game, But giving them a year long "us against the world" excuse and a "they think we won that superbowl by cheating" mantra for 19 weeks?

God damned I'd be pissed if i was going to have to fight a bear, and some ******* was poking it with a stick before hand.

If true this is why the NFLPA is the weakest in sports. The players are a bunch of morons who don't know how to look at the big picture.

If Cole's report is accurate, you're right about these guys being morons.

I'm sure their tune will be different when they or one of their teammates gets in trouble and the league demands to see their phone or personal computer or search their car/home. And when they refuse, their punishment gets increased. This is one of the issues their union is combating and these dummies can't see it.

Just worries me. Will the NFL look the other way regarding dirty hits to certain Pats players?

they are gonna stick it to the pats every chance they get. they should just make the league like the wwe and be done with it so the pats will never win again

I very much doubt that this is true. This is a business matter. Not the time for any silly "Clubber Lang" stuff for the cameras.

How would that be anything new?

Another example of a mediot just making something up. Since it's in the realm of possible and there are no names attached, he is free to say whatever he wants to try to have a "unique" spin on the story. He's just a liar.

I don't think Cole made it up.

I just think Cole got it from his source, who works in the league office. THEY are the ones who probably made it up.

I saw plenty of player tweets in the immediate aftermath of the NFL decision to uphold the suspension - and ALL of them, at least the ones played on the bottom screen scroll, were of the "Cheaters never win" variety....one in particular that I remember was Vontaze Burfect

Kurt Warner's in the same butthurt camp. For a professing man of God, I expect somebody who believes "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor" to seriously uphold that Biblical precept. smh

The NFL has now filed, in Minnesota.

Heard it on WEEI. According the the report, it was a former Doty law clerk who filed it.

isn't burfict that cheapshot lb from the bengals that tries injuring opponents and fighting teammates at asu ? he should keep his ugly mug shut. the world would be a better place.

Doesn't make sense. If someone is an NFLPA rep, this is their chance to take the appeals away from Goodell.

Then the Bengals must be one of the worse cheaters.
