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

[Bella*chick]

Honestly, there is more than enough time to organize a protest that the majority of fans can be a part of. And the players can know about via social media, etc.

One thing is absolutely clear. Goodell should never, ever, ever feel like he can go to Gillette for any reason. I mean he should seriously fear for his safety.

I was upset someone didn't clock him at the playoff game vs the Ravens this year.

For the first time in a long time I'm speechless. This is the most excessive/absurd penalty I have ever heard of.

The only problem with yee's statement - nothing of what he says the nfl disagrees. they have simply punished tom for non cooperation and not turning over his phone. I dont know what yee is going to do about that. Maybe he does have enough stuff to release from the interrogation.

No, he gets a crack legal team to prove Brady was not compelled to do so by contract. IF they can do that the punishment for Brady is not even to the level of a house of cards.
For the Patriots' team? We're screwed. Unless a massive PR campaign is undertaken that will back the Emperor into the corner, unfortunately those draft picks are already, factually gone.

He'll probably be sitting next to Kraft having casual conversation while they hang the banner during the opener. Can't help but feel pessimistic about the owners response after cameragate.

One way for fans to have a voice is to not enter the stadium on opening nite. Stay in parking lot, protest. Corrupt NFL met w/ empty stadium

Can this happen ???

I had this idea yesterday I posted it somewhere lol. Stay out of the stadium or in the walkways for the first quarter as a protest.

I mean they already know that brady is not contracted to give the phone but their general statements about non cooperation are so abstract that it would require some definite proving that he did cooperate , right ?
Sadly the lost picks are have ruined the reputation of this team forever.

If Kraft ever brings him to the stadium as his guest will be the day that I lose complete respect for Kraft. I know he previously did what he believed he had to do to maintain his business. however, that ship sailed with the emperor's statement today.

PATRIOTS JERSEY BUYING TIPS

- Do not purchase an official jersey (from NFL.com, Patriots shop, **** Sporting Goods, etc.)

- Purchase from a Chinese website. Not a single penny will go towards the NFL this way. Most of the time, the quality is just as good + price is way cheaper.

- Advice on good replica websites here: https://www.reddit.com/r/sportsjerseys/

- Tape/cover/deface the NFL logo on the collar of the jersey

He was with Buffalo at the time, I'm sure he had friends on that Eagles SB 39 team though.

Yeah I started to watch SB39 looking for potential screenshots of his azz getting burned--then looked to see what number he was and realized he wasn't on the team. SO many people had said he was that I wanted to believe...

Brady is will fight this but good luck trying to get an independant arbitrator. This is Goodells finest moment and he will fight tooth and nail to keep it.

 

[NEPats1]

This is funny...

 

[Deus Irae]

DI, you have been dead spot on about Goodell through it all (Incognito, Rice, now this). Kudos...

I wish I'd been 100% wrong. Goodell's ruining the sport, and the owners have too many dollar signs in their eyes to see it.

I'd say the people should wait until minute 12 to come to their seats. There is enough time to start a campaign to do that, however I am sure Kraft will kill the idea immediately.

My Free Tom Brady t-shirt cannot get here fast enough.

Anyone else think Curran might be hinting that Belichick could retire in protest over this? http://www.csnne.com/new-england-patriots/curran-patriots-penalties-nfl-went-after-them-hard

IF kraft is truly behind brady he wont celebrate the banner on opening night nor have any act or stage show . Play it like a normal game .
And I hope Brady and BB stop giving any interviews to any of the networks.
