So what to do? Retreat into a shell and live a life of quiet contemplation by throwing the TV and computer out and going for long walks in the woods while taking up yoga? Probably should do that, but like you, I won't. Because I've been sentenced to life without possibility of parole.
Only the weak would walk away ...........
We must work harder for change regardless of the outcome ........
I don't count any of the months before the Wells report because we were all under a delusion regarding how things were going. It wasn't until May that we found out the truth, that we were being f.ucked.
The issue is a few angry Patriot fans chosing to no longer support the NFL won't accomplish very much.I think you've got that a little backwards. Walking away from the NFL* is the only way to create change as the group of the corrupt 32 only understand one language: $$$$$$$$
Let's face it: the tides can turn all they want and Goodell can be disliked by many other fans as it already is, but no other fans except ours are angry enough at him and the job he's doing to follow suit. They simply won't. They don't care enough to. And most Patriot fans admittedly won't care enough after a while either to attempt anything substantial.

Vector, I think it is safe to say my future of NFL fandom significantly relies on this outcome. I will always support Tom Brady. If he stays in the league six more years I'll watch as long as he remains.Its the 11th hour of this entire deflategate fiasco and there is still yet hope that there might yet be vindication. After 3 months of absolute crap since the Wells Report dropped the tide has finally shifted in the national media regarding everything. Back in May where it seemed like everything was ruined there is now room for optimism.
At the same time we are witnessing the NFL act in perhaps the most openly and shockingly corrupt manner I have ever seen a multi billion dollar company act. And yes, that includes Oil conglomerates, banking institutions, multinational corporations and the like because they are usually much better at hiding their evil from the public eye. Whether its through sheer incompetence or arrogance the NFL is being plainly open about how its acting. Its of course why so many national media people are now turning to Brady's side. But here's the scary part, none of it might matter. The NFL, and Goodell, might get away with this scott free because of the possibility that a judge rules in their favor because of a shockingly godawful CBA.
For me, I think its safe to say that I am staking my final bit of interest in the sport on the results of this case. If the suspension is vacated then I can breath easily for the first time in months. If it's not, I honestly think I'm done with the game. I don't even know if I would be able to stomach watching any game again, even with Brady and Belichick still in the game, if this sort of blatant corruption is allowed to win.
