Until something happens we better remain skeptical.
Not to worry - if Brady has to sit all four games Belichick will go to Plan B - he'll simply use Goodell's new standard of "generally aware" plus "lack of cooperation" rule in the NFL to his advantage
Say, if a guy on the Ravens was taking PEDs (just hypothetically because I’m sure that doesn’t happen there) and Flacco saw him bulking up and was “generally aware” of PED usage
All Belichick has to do is start a rumor, initiate a sting (Goodell owes us one) and Boom – Kangaroo court, trump up some “evidence” and Flacco sits for four games (and the Ravens also lose a 1st and a 4th)
Given the standards Goodell has applied to the Brady case he actually doesn’t even have to have any credible blood test results.
And – yeesh – the NFL will begrudgingly admit that given the lack of clearcut evidence MAYBE Flacco was MAYBE aware of the fact that a guy was MAYBE taking PEDs
But still four game suspension even upon appeal to Independent Impartial Arbitrator Goodell!
See, you just gotta adapt and work the system set up by the Commissioner with the standards he sets
Belichick will have this figured out in no time - yeah, it will suck to be without Brady but we'll get the best players on every team suspended using the special "Goodell*" tactic to ensure we dominate the league
We'll have another Super Bowl before you know it
