It's easy, and only takes a few moments.You are the proverbial glutton for punishment.Reading other fan bases thoughts on negotiations, they think the Pats want it ! They cant imagine its probably the NFL that wants to resolve this . Cause of course Kraft has godell in his back pocket, that's how the Pats got off with such a "small" punishment.
The only back-channel discussion that should be going on is Jonathan with 23 other clubs!

NFL & Patriots are attempting to resolve their differences without appeal through "back-channel conversations." (via @AdamSchefter)

I say fight to the death, screw negotiating.
Edit: I also find it hilarious that they call it "back channels" like its Russia and United States. These guys take themselves way too seriously.
I'm thinking it's more like: if we fire Goodell, and lighten the penalty, will you forego an apology and stay on as chair for the upcoming broadcast negotiations, please Mr. Kraft?

Spy gate was a joke. Who cares what people say about it. There is no debate about it. If a rival fan says "your team cheated their way to 3 SBs" I always say," how did they cheat ?" They always say "by using cameras to film defensive signals", and I always reply "you do know that using cameras wasn't against the rules until 2007 ?". Then they usually turn beet red, and their heads explode like in that movie Scanners. There is no proven cheating going on by the Pats in 2001, 2003 & 2004 (Dynasty years). No debate needed.I would love to see how these negotiations go down. No way will the NFL backtrack after that letter and the harsh penalties. And I hope to God Kraft doesn't agree to anything other than the minimum fine for equipment that doesnt meet requirements even if it was just the weather. And if Kraft actually negotiates a deal then Brady getting a neutral person to hear his appeal has to be part of it. I say just take the nfl to court for all of this. The fans waited 10 years for another super bowl and we had to constantly debate people about spygate and now we get this. The fans deserve the team to be cleared as well
I hate to say it. Kraft is a League first guy at heart. He will ultimately cave if he can get a significant enough reduced punishment. He really doesn't have a lot of options to begin with, but he doesn't have the stomach to sue his 31 other owners.
Brady, on the other hand, will fight until he is completely exonerated or he runs out of options.
just get the picks back
I believe ( not speaking for him) he was referring to the needed 24 votes (3/4 of all teams) to oust the commissioner, so it's Pats and 23 other teams...Assuming a typo, although admittedly I haven't read all 13 pages... you mean the other 31 clubs?

A fair suspension? There's no such thing when the team has DONE NOTHING WRONG.A fair suspension should have been 1-2 games suspension for Tom Brady. Fine, and no loss of draft picks or at minimum 4th round pick. Nothing more, Nothing Less.

The only fair suspension should have been zero games for Brady.
