OT: Dolphins Owner Steven Ross Suspended, Picks Forfeited, For Tampering With Brady, Payton

[patsfan13]

So Brady was just being a selfish dirt bag.

I hate to say it, but Parcells still is a pariah in many parts of this region for talking to the Jets one week before the Super Bowl. This has to tarnish Brady's image here that he engaged in a season long discussion with the Dolphins to bolt the team.

So how much is the punishment actually for Ross, as laid out in the report, clearly telling everyone within earshot that it would be best to lose more games without it being officially the reason because if they do that then how could Ross remain as an NFL owner? That’s a giant can of worms that the NFL will never want to touch.

Seems timed to be a distraction from the Watson situation, IMO.

It's a distraction from the Texan's involvement in the Watson situation, which spills over to Watson.

Two things -

Brady did the Patriots dirty. Engaging in these discussions? Anyone want to tell me again that BB was at fault for Brady leaving?

and Man oh man did the NFL try to cover their ass on the Flores Tanking allegations... "sure he said it, but no one was supposed to take it seriously... Ross was just joking"

Brady = Tuna

I mean, I don't really care that much, but it was clear Tom was checked out that final season. Only more proof of it.

Gronk was going there too the next time you get the urge to kiss his peen.

You are aware that Belichick (and Kraft) refused to give him a contract that took him past the current season in August 2019 which as laid out in the report is when the tampering then began?

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Correct me if I am wrong, but if this was tampering, shouldn't we get their 2023 1st rounder?

Don’t forget about the Bucs tampering with Brady as well…

Yeah this was certainly avoidable, seems once that extensions didn't happen, Brady had little chance to return. Man all the in Bill we trusters called Curran a liar lol.

You are aware that Brady was talking to the enemy during his last year with the Pats, don’t you?

 

[Hammer of Thor]

While the headline is about tampering, seems the NFL is also using this as a way to slap Ross's wrist for encouraging tanking:

I’m guessing the severity of the punishment (1st round pick +) is based more on this than just the Brady and Peyton tampering.

When did they do that lol? Are you talking about like right before FA?

 

[Pape]

Brady = Tuna

its like Fredo talking to "Hyman" Ross and Bruce "Johnny Ola" Beal...

 

[SHOWTIME15]

When did they do that lol? Are you talking about like right before FA?

It started in August 2019 and went on for the whole 2019 season...read the findings.

[Rob0729]

This brings on a whole new meaning.

 

[Guts]

This thread is going exactly how I envisioned it lmao

 

[jlu52]

Now this is actually cheating.

 

[PatsFan2]

Yesss our pick just moved up.

 

[Ring 6]

So during the 2019 season when the Patriots started 10-1 and then Tom Brady played the worst football of his life as we went 2-4 putting up a password rating of 78 and a completion % of 55, he was negotiating with the Dolphins?
We lost the last game of the season to the Dolphins which cost us a first round bye, while Brady was talking about becoming a Dolphin player and owner?

I’m not good with that.

I always attributed Brady playing the worst football of his life to injury but it appears he just gave up.
