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

[Bill Lee]

I am really enjoying the Dolphins boards right now

Looks like their fan base was thinking if Tua sucked again they would finish so low that they could just use their pick for another QB, or if they needed to, use their pick plus the 9ers pick to move up. Seems that plan just died an ugly death.

Seems they love Grier as much as we loved his dad.

They wish Ross was gone and Flores stayed.

The penny dropped for one poster:

So, basically neither our QB nor our HC was our first choice and, likely not even our second choice.

Uhm, yep.

And your QB and your HC now know this, as does your fan base.

The Sanu advocacy might even have been deliberate sabotage by Tommy since he didn't give a sh*t and was planning on leaving for a competitor.

Guy increasingly looks like a slime ball. And we already *know* he's a snake oil salesman.

People like you are how people like Alex Jones make money.

Brady was throwing to him double digit times a game, 10/14 and a TD against the Ravens, but then in game THREE as a Patriots Belichick put him on punt return for the 11th time in his career and he got a high ankle sprain which he never recovered from.

Link to an interesting article posted to a fish forum:

We lost our first rounder next year and 3rd rounder the year after

Right when things are looking up. Rotten to the core. Ross does need to go. Beal cannot be the next buyer. Grier might need to go too. What a mess for...

You've transformed blaming BB for everything into an art form.

Lighten up ball washer, just a little sarcasm.

Exactly. It was no secret he was going to be a free agent and as far as he was concerned the Pats passed on the opportunity he gave them to lock him longterm. There was no scenario where he was staying here after that. And any small glimmer of hope was gone when he actually saw how awful the offense was.

Him talking to the Dolphins did not effect us because we weren’t keeping him. The Bucs on the other hand have him locked up and he was maneuvering to leave them. That’s a different thing and they have much more of a reason to be upset after they gave him the contract he wanted, gave him control, and rolled out the red carpet.

Yea, listening to Tom during TC in August 2019 it was clear he wasn't happy w/ the contract Kraft/BB offered. He was able to get the franchise tag removed which made him a FA for the 1st time in his career. His house was up for sale. He was leaving no matter what. All of this is old news.

Someone remind me when exactly Tom signed w/ Miami. I must've missed that part. As he said, he talks to a lot of people. So what. Truth is he made an excellent decision signing w/ the Bucs. Brought them a SB, while both MIA and NE struggled to make it to the playoffs in 2020.

At the end of the day Tom continues to be a winner, which apparently triggers the haters. Lol

Shouldn’t the player who is willingly engaging with other teams when he is under contract be punished too?

Start a petition. You've already got @dreighver, @farn, @patsfan13 & @DaBruinz that will sign it. You guys will be instant twitter celebrities as the Patsfans that petitioned the NFL to have Tom Brady suspended. LMFAO

 

[venecol]

Interesting Ross would say that...

This is the real story the NFL is trying to bury. They all but corroborated everything Flores said but decided to treat it as a joke. What a joke.

NFL punished Miami severely for Tommy's little talks, didn't they...

 

[venecol]

dude, come on... stop.

Hard to argue that this didnt have an impact on any potential offer the Patriots could have made when you know you have a landing spot already lined up, with your agent saying "look, i think we got Sean Payton on board as well"... that upsets the scales beyond the tipping point, and creates a very difficult & decidedly unfair situation for the Patriots to be in...

And Tom did this - Over the course of the season - Multiple times. How you cannot be ****ing ripshit at him for these dealing is beyond imagination

You're confused. Payton convo came in 2022 not when Tom was in his last year as a Patriot.

So I think the question is if someone on the Patriots "more likely than not" was "generally aware." Since Brady still talks with guys, I think the league can pretty much assume so and take another couple first rounders.

 

[venecol]

Pretty much. I’m saying the first charge didn’t actually effect us. The second does actually effect the Bucs.

We did not have Brady signed. The Bucs did. We were losing him. He was maneuvering to subvert the contract.

It’s like if you and girlfriend are breaking up and she says “listen we know this is done, but I’ll stay with you through the holidays since we made all these plans with our family and I don’t want to embarrass anybody, then after we will quietly break up”. Then you find out she started talking to other guys on the lane duck period to line them up after it ends. That’s what happened with the Patriots. The Bucs are a guy who just caught his girlfriend planning to fake an injury so she can go off the grid for awhile and start a love affair with someone else.

None of this affected anyone. Nobody signed w/ MIA. Talk is cheap. By all accounts, MIA reached out to Brady & Payton. Through their agents. Is there any record of an actual meeting between Tom / Sean and Dolphins FO in 2022? This was all a MIA wet dream.

 

[Salsalife]

Do the Patriots get the Dolphins First round pick in 2023?

 

[Tunescribe]

You're confused. Payton convo came in 2022 not when Tom was in his last year as a Patriot.

Nope. That's part of what came out today: the tampering included Payton as well dating back to 2019. The scheme to marry Brady and Payton in Miami was hatched with both under contract to their respective teams and is why Beal got hammered. Tampa Bay was Brady's fall-back option when it didn't work out.

 

[venecol]

Yeah but it's another black mark for Tommy.

Post a pic of the white board you have hanging on your fridge with all the black marks you have against the GOAT QB. LMFAO

 

[Triumph]

Anyone that calls themselves a fan of this team should be pissed at Bradys actions regarding this situation.

Preach it Brother.

Brady deliberately tried to screw the Patriots and its fanbase. There is no excuse.

The Brady forum should be abolished.
