It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Well, I have a certain level of respect for anyone able to make it to the NFL level in the first place, not a very easy thing to do. But I wasn't really referring to his on the field play. He always seemed like an ok guy watching from afar. But anyone who buys into Deflategate just seems really stupid to me.
And he literally quit on his team when with the Bengals.Playoff Wins
Tom Brady, 22
Carson Palmer, 1
Ohhh boy. That is the ultimate bulletin board material.
Don't you think it's a problem that he's a member of the NFLPA, just witnessed the league's most decorated player (who also plays his position) go through federal court systems for over a year, and somehow thinks altitude and humidity were determining factors? I'm not sure what your job is, but wouldn't you be concerned if a business partner or even a competitor, doing the exact same job as you, became the biggest story on earth, and wouldn't you want to know what's going on in any way?
My guess, and my guess only, is that the NFLPA very likely kept everyone up to date via electronic and hard copy info exactly what was going on. And, like most people who get news which doesn't affect them directly, when that news was received it was either deleted unread and/or thrown in the trash. Doesn't mean **** - until it's them...Him not following the story is worse, in my opinion. I can understand not reading every story, report and analysis, but he should have paid attention to the court stuff. Palmer's union ended up getting taken behind the woodshed in the Brady and Peterson cases. Goodell can now suspend Tyrann Mathieu for 6 games if he doesn't like his hair color and all his teammates will be able to say is "if you get busted..."
I don't know Palmer stayed ignorant by choice, the players association did a poor job communicating what was at stake or a combination of both.
This is the real story here. How can so many of these guys have their head in the sand?Him not following the story is worse, in my opinion.

And if they meet in the playoffs palmer will be 0-5Palmer is 0-4 lifetime against Brady. F him.
That indifference and frankly, ignorance, is exactly why the players have a crappy CBA.
