that means nothing - did he ever speak to the issue? did he ever say anything on this? no, he didn'tHe was literally the first player to sign his name in the antitrust case vs. the NFL. You really have to be kidding me.

Believe me I want him to go balls to the wall and basically draw & quarter the league & its commissioner. But Brady's history and the way he's conducted himself as a de facto member of ownership simply does not point to him taking the NFL to court.The people who matter most to Brady are not going to be satisfied with taking a bullet for Kraft. His father is curious about v this and no one knows the value of name and brand better than his wife. Brady isn't going to roll over for Goodell. If its reduced to one game he may be tempted to put his teammates first but other than that he will push this for exoneration.

I hope he and his legal team can skewer the NFL and Goodell, but it's not happening. Such proceedings would carry well into the preseason and preparation for 2015 - if there's one thing Belichick doesn't want, it's distractions. Can you imagine the sea of scum sucking media at Pats camp if Brady takes the NFL to court? It would make the Tim Tebow media mob seem like the media contingent at a high school junior varsity baseball game....
I need a facepalm gif pronto. Why would he have to speak on the issue? His actions are speaking loud enough. You're embarrassing yourself.that means nothing - did he ever speak to the issue? did he ever say anything on this? no, he didn't
Again, find me ONE sourced quote from Brady speaking out against the league, the Commissioner, the competition committee, another team, another coach, etc....the ONLY one I can remember is his comment r.e. Harbaugh post AFC Championship game. My feeling is Brady isn't wired to rock the NFL boat, especially since he's acted as a de facto owner/management - type in his contract negotiations...I need a facepalm gif pronto.

I could see the exact same blue brint here. Brady sues the league and the NFLPA and his Lawyers fight with Brady staying silentAgain, find me ONE sourced quote from Brady speaking out against the league, the Commissioner, the competition committee, another team, another coach, etc....the ONLY one I can remember is his comment r.e.

Even his pre super bowl presser was littered with fence sitting comments....

How about you bring some hard facts instead of your ridiculous conjecture. The antitrust suit is literally called Brady v. The NFL. Yet he doesn't want to "rock the NFL boat." Every single word you've typed is nonsense.Again, find me ONE sourced quote from Brady speaking out against the league, the Commissioner, the competition committee, another team, another coach, etc....the ONLY one I can remember is his comment r.e.

You're talking about a guy that has pretty much never missed a voluntary workout, and a guy that hates to give up snaps in practice.
Is he going to roll over and miss four games in what he knows is the twilight of his career?
I just don't think so.
Except that Kraft didn't build his own. He also took a loan from the league. And he got tons of tax breaks..
I guarantee you're wrong, I've heard from a source that knows him that he's ripshit and will take this railroad job all the way.Again I hope I'm wrong here and I'll eat crow if Brady goes for it but it ain't happening... Either doosh Goodell wipes out the suspension or Brady takes what's given....

Uuhhh, silly question here, but what is more distracting?
- a lawsuit going on in the background.*
- your star goat qb out for first four games of the season.
* regarding my use of word background, no one in this thread ever seems to have heard of the word 'injunction' or 'stay'. My bet is that The first motion Brady's legal team files after filing the suit, if not simultaneous with, is to delay imposition of any possible punishment until the suit is decided. Based on the unrecoverable nature of 4 games, career records, and the scanty evidence I can't think of a sane non-jester-fan judge who wouldn't block go-to-hell's BS. But based on wells report, trial could be over in a day. That crap is indefensible except by the 'I am commissioner-God; F-U theory'.
