Brady accepting suspension:(

When He and BB retire......... I am SOOOOOOO done with the NFL.

If Goddell starts his victory lap again, will someone please punch him in the face?

I hate the outcome, but he fought the good fight.

In a couple of seasons, will most NFL fans forget about this and instead think of the body of Brady's work?

I think it will be forgotten more than you think.

It felt like people were already forgetting about it before the suspension was reinstated.

Someone made a good point how Favre had his painkiller issues in the mid 90's. Fast forward today, no one even discusses it.

10 years from now it will simply be a little side note and nothing more. If a vast majority of analysts today aren't even dense enough to say that his legacy is tarnished, how will they suddenly say it 10 years from now?

Sad and disappointed but I can't begrudge Tom wanting this to just all be over.

Time to see if we can get a 1st or a 2nd for Jimmy G after we go 4 and motherfucking 0.

Well, I'm disappointed. Victory wasn't impossible, but so unlikely that he didn't want to risk missing the playoffs or something horrible like that. I get it. Sucks, but I get it. Onward.

I will be disappointed if the NFLPA doesn't grow a pair during the next set of labor negotitations and reduces the way-overreaching power the Commissioner has to basically, "police" himself. That's just nuts and what Roger Gotohell has done (admitted because the NFLPA wasn't forward-thinking enough) wouldn't be allowed in any business or any other area.

I respect TB for his decision and I would have regardless.

Forgive as I play devil's advocate, but....

They won. Roger is the infallible chancellor. Now that the NFL has won and Brady for all intents and purpose has given up, anyone think they'll drop the suspension to 2 games?

No? Okay.

Wow.

Gotta say, I'm surprised and disappointed that this year and a half saga of injustice ends here, today with a Facebook post, but I respect Tom's decision.

I would've fought this till the bitter end, but it is what it is.

What do you want a press conference?

I wanted him to fight to the death too but I'm assuming hes getting good legal advice from Olsen.

Not saying you're bluffing, but man if I had a nickel for every time I've heard that the last 18 months...

Type down on Google "I'm done with the NFL" and the first five or six pages of results will likely lead you to Patsfans posts.

No one's opinion has changed. No one's opinion would have changed if Brady had prevailed.

Screw the haters, he's always going to full support from Patriot fans. The 31 can drop dead.


Goodell is a world class Scumbag.

While I whole-heartily agree.

I think you have to put the selfish and/or jealous owners in that category as well.

Zero chance.

Goodell is an uncompromising ****head who buries people who challenge his authority.

If you googled, 'The tide is turning!" would you get more or fewer pages?....

He'll will face a tough Bengals team his first game back.

I hope the players wear TB12 patches all season long.

LOL that too

Sucks, but I expected this even before the decision came down, since I also expected it to be unfavorable. As many dislikes as I'll get, I feel it was the right thing to do for many reasons. I think Tom did it for his family and the team. This is also why he restructured. So be it. We're in to training camp.

Cue the sue birds. Lol. Ain't gonna gotten though. Honestly, I believe there are deals that have been made behind closed doors. I think the genera public only really knows about half of this saga in reality. Just think about how bizarre last season ended. Have we ever seen BB **** the bed that many times with his decision making, injuries notwithstanding? The series of events just seems off.
