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

[SHOWTIME15]

It was cramps.

Lucky for your team.

I hope the media bombards Brady all season with tampering questions. The guy knowingly did it. I wonder what Kraft has to say now...

 

[Bill Lee]

It doesn't matter. You don't talk to another team in the middle of the season, especially a bitter division rival...that's like Nick Saban in talks with Auburn to become their HC while he is still employed by Bama. As far as Tuna is concerned, he was here only for a few years, so whatever. Brady was here for 20.

I think they are pretty equivalent situations. Tuna was clearly spending time during Super Bowl week talking to a conference rival instead of focusing on the big game. He put his own interests ahead of the team. But it did all work out in the end, since it lead to the "border war" that led to us getting BB.

Not really

Brady was pivotal to 6 Superbowls

Tuna didn't win shiiiit

 

[Bill Lee]

All the whiny/complaining/all around "bad" behavior Brady was doing back then has a brand new layer

0 chance he was fully commited to the team if he was talking to a divisional-rival owner about leaving

Also, Watson is a rapist, dont let this brand-new, convenient and shocking report make you forget

I think Tampa fans will get to see what "checked-out Toamie" looks like this season.

Tom Brady's appetite to compete is "going to be gone, soon"

Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady returned to football after a 40-day retirement.

Did the Dolphins cheat?

 

[lancerman]

How does that negate the fact that Brady was still under contract with the Patriots while he had multiple discussions with the Dolphins?

Because he wasn’t going to stay with us and we had no vehicle to keep him. So any discussions he had wasn’t interfering in our ability to negotiate with him. He was totally free the minute that season ended and we didn’t try to extend him before that.

The Bucs have more of a right to complain because he was actively considering trying to subvert their contract

 

[VectorPrime]

If I’m Flores I’m pissed because this doesn’t touch the main basis of the accusations he laid out about the blatant racial discrimination.

 

[resdubwhite]

Surprisingly

Nothing handed down to Brady Or Payton

You are entitled to your opinion, but IMO it seems you had to be around here in the 90s to understand how completely Parcells turned the Patriots around.

Parcells put the team on the path that led us to getting BB and then getting those 6 SBs.

I love Boston fandom.

It truly is one of the craziest ones out there

He did an interview with Howard Stern in 2020 saying he knew he was gone that past August.

Tuna leaving is the equivalent of Romeo Crennel talking to the Jete after wining a few super bowls. Brady talking to Miami is more akin to Jordan talking to the Pistons while still in Chicago...

That's fair. I'm pretty ignorant to Patriots football before 1999.

Uh huh, so I guess the Pete Carroll years never happened.

Yeah I'm one of the biggest Brady fans out there but this was disappointing. Oh well

 

[Pape]

One could wish...

Of course he knew. That’s when he started meeting with the phish.

The key point is that discussions didn’t just occur after the season ended, rather that they occurred while the season was ongoing, as early as August 2019. That’s the issue being brought up here.

FFS so Parcells is just as repsonsible as Brady for winning the 6 Super Bowls?

Some of this fan base has truly become a nut house the last couple years and it’s sad.
