The Axe has fallen. Brady has been suspended for four games

[turkeyneck]

Well, Bob Kraft, you bent over and this is what you get. ARE YOU KIDDING.

He must like it. He keeps doing it.

 

[PATS16N0]

We have the worst ****ing football owner in the National Football League. Time for New Englanders to start booing this ****ing guy.

 

[Wheelman]

Oh and it's the earliest pick of the 1st and 4th round. I guess they didn't like us getting Jerod Mayo.

 

[rochrist]

That's a "this is going to be reduced on appeal so we better make sure it isn't reduced to nothing" penalty.

I don't believe the team penalty CAN be appealed.

Goodell: "We relied on the critical importance of protecting the integrity of the game & thoroughness and independence of the Wells report."

 

[YOUGOTMOSSED]

So, if this is true, will Kraft keep saying how he thinks Goodell is a man of great integrity and is doing a great job?

 

[ashley]

We're still winning the East the year!!!!!!!!!!!

Filed to ESPN: Tom Brady suspended four games, Pats lose 1st round pick in 2016 and a 4th in 2017, and team fined $1 million, per source:

Still gathering my thoughts but how did a 4th rounder even come up in discussion?

 

[Onedaful]

Kraft better go f***ing nuclear on the league and Goodell. This is insane. I can't even believe it.

Holy ****.

Two picks including a first round. GQBOAT suspended 4 games and 1million dollar fine? Can there be a bigger target on the Pats, more probable than not!!

 

[Haley]

This league is a total ****ing joke.

 

[ViperGTS]

You can't appeal draft picks, and team fine.

A first, a fourth, and a million dollars. "For More probably then not", and "Generally aware"

Video evidence that two teams cheated during a game? "Hey guys please stop" More probably then not an equipment guy let air out of a ball over, basically an attempt to black ball a team.

Anyone interested in going to the nfl offices this weekend and staging a protest?

Protest? Burn it down. This is ridiculous. It's anti-Pats. It's the ultimate we can't stop your success. So we'll give other teams a small edge hoping you go 1-3 to start the season. Goodell needs to be hauled out and tarred and feathered. Boston style.

**** YOU YOU PIECE OF ****ING ****.

Not you, SVN.

I don't believe the team penalty CAN be appealed.

...I should explain. Even if Brady were to successfully appeal his entire suspension, it's a hard enough hit to the team that the NFL can feel like they won.

 

[patsinthesnow]

This team will not lose one of the first four games.

 

[Seanzayyy]

I'm ready for war.

 

[Gronkowski123]

a 1st rounder? and a 4th next year

the league crushed us.

 

[JayNM]

WHAT

THAT IS A ****ING ABSURD. WHAT THE ****

 

[SVN]

The damage is done. The pats of the 2000s will forever be known as the team which 2 1st round picks taken away by the league for cheating. Iam surprised Goodell didnt announce a suspension for BB.

 

[captain insano]

what a pathetic piece of sh-t league. take your nfl and stick it. what a joke. f--k you roger goodell. and if kraft takes this then f--k him to. im disgusted and apppalled by this whole f--king thing.

 

[BelichicksHoodie]

Should have just suspended him for the season, he's a disgrace to this organization. I never want to see him suit up for this team again.
