Troy Vincent's letter to Tom Brady



Someone let @Ivan know. he blocked me, and I want him to get the news

 

[Wheelman]

What a joke!

 

[wahwho]

Absolutely ridiculous. I'm sure Brady will appeal, but is there any appeal process for the team to get back the picks and cash?

 

[VrabelMayeWin]

Consider me done spending money on the NFL.

 

[Bella*chick]

Is this really for real?

Wow.

 

[Deus Irae]

Anyone want to pretend the league wasn't after the Patriots? This is going to get very ugly moving forward.


Also, this has to be the end of Goodell, if Kraft has any self-respect at all.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

this is no joke, unfortunately

 

[jimache]

... this has to spell war ... no fking way this stays as is ... a 1st and 4th ?!!?

 

[Bella*chick]

Well, Bob Kraft, you bent over and this is what you get. ARE YOU KIDDING.

 

[Horace's Ivories]

Kraft - you are an idiot to accept this...

 

[Ring 6]

Wow. This is ridiculous.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Amazing. I need to gather my thoughts and a Johnnie Walker Black..or 3

A million a first round pick next year, 4 th the next and Brady is suspended.

But let's heat footballs on the sidelines. What a f-ing joke. The NFL has jumped the shark.

 

[Wheelman]

Falcons lose a 5th round draft pick. No Penalty against the Jets for tampering. Patriots lose a 1st rounder and a 4th rounder? Obviously Goodell knows the suspension won't hold. I guess I was right about the Patriots losing draft picks.

 

[Sciz]

That's a "this is going to be reduced on appeal so we better make sure it isn't reduced to nothing" penalty.

 

[PatriotsInGA]

"Ignorance isn't an excuse"

Except when it comes to domestic violence and not having evidence. **** Goodell and the NFL.

 

[Seanzayyy]

1 Million?!?!

1 million for air in a football which there was no definitive proof of any wrongdoing on TB12's part. I hate the NFL.

 

[Foxypats]

What BS !!! Wow, I didn't expect a first round pick to be taken also. Hopefully Brady appeals immediately . Can they even try to get their first round pick back? I don't remember other teams getting so heavily penalised for far worse infraction. I hate the league right now , and am not sure if I will even watch any more. I guess the entire country except a little corner will be celebrating.

Well, Bob Kraft, you bent over and this is what you get. ARE YOU KIDDING.

Totally agree. Kraft seems like a businessman's business man. He is fortunate to have had guys like Parcells, BB, and Brady bring some respect to his otherwise afterthought of a franchise.
I cannot believe he has stood by this whole time. He made his bed with Goodell...

I am so upset right now. Especially about the draft picks. Total BS.
