    Good. Fuck Goodell. Worst commissioner in the history of sports.

    It's really hard to top Gary Bettman but I think Goodell just might be the guy.
    Yep. I think Goodell has passed him by over the past couple years. Fucked up part is the owners will never get rid of him because they are all making a shit ton of money.
    Bettman is still the worst, he is single handily trying to destroy the NHL.
    The new adidas deal is pretty shitty. Ads on jerseys starting next year. Like it's some second rate league or something.
    european soccer has ads on their jerseys and that's far from second rate. it's coming to all sports in America sooner than you think. I think Bettman has done some good things for the NHL and is not as bad as some think he is. Goddell is a trainwreck though.

    Fuck Brady. bad enough he is a cheating scumbag now he is a whiny sniveling litigious cheating scumbag. Karma of the world says he gets hurt early this season.
    You are quite an NFL fan. One thing to hate a team or player such as the Patriots and Brady but to wish injury on said player is completely and utterly pathetic.

    Peace

    where did i say i wish Brady got hurt? all i said is that karma says he will get hurt. just making a prediction is all.
    Well, hypothetically speaking it appears you generally, potentially wished Brady injury early in the season. (That right there sounds like something from the report huh). Even though he's out and ahead by winning the SB ALREADY. Do I think he Brady knew or had a Hand in this hideous matter hell yes he knew about he liked his balls deflated. That said here's the report the judge handed down....


    http://www.gannett-cdn.com/experiments/usatoday/Sports/2015-09-03-nfl-brady-decision.pdf

    R M Berman says it all loud and clear in this 40 page report. This the judge the NFL wanted and chose him instead of one more favorable to Brady in Minnesota.

    Peace
    him and Belicheck are like Barry Bonds to me. yea they were great but they will always be tainted because they were clearly cheaters. it's a shame to because Brady and Bonds are in the same category in that they probably didn't need to cheat to be great but their egos and arrogance led them there. i'd rather sleep well at night knowing i did things the right way in my profession than to be a cheater like Brady and Bonds. so....yea fuck Tom Brady.

    EDIT: you know why i really hate people like Barry Bonds and Tom Brady? Because they were born with a gift. A gift to be able to play at a level that very few are ever graced with the body, athleticism and skill to achieve. a gift that almost every kid who ever played a sport as a kid dreamed could happen to them. and what do fuckers like Brady and Bonds do with that gift? they fucking cheat with those gifts. for what? more money, more fame, a few more wins? it's sad and pathetic. so yea Brady might have won Super Bowls but he is a loser and a cheater and I wouldn't want my kid to grow up like that.

    You really are living in fantasy land if you don't think all of the QB's screw with the ball before the game. If Brady is as you quote clearly a cheater than ever single QB in the league is. Wasn't it strange how hardly any current QB's came out and blasted Brady about this. I wonder why.

    blah blah blah - same 'everyone does it' defense Pats fans used for Spygate. you are living in a fantasy world if you don't think the Patriots have clearly shown a pattern of cheating over the past decade or so.

    oh and Brady is a cheat in life too. cheated on his gf (wasn't she pregnant too?) with Gisele. so yea in life Brady is clearly a cheater. thanks for playing.
    Looks like he slipped and slid his way through that one too. He married that rich chick Gisele, it seems he's got Teflon all around him. Just except he can't seem to be painted properly, too damn handsome I gather. Lol

    Lots of hysterics in this thread. Not surprising. I totally expect the, "well, he got off on a technicality, everybody knows he still cheated" line of thinking. But if you were following along and reading the transcripts/orders, this was not a surprise ruling yesterday.

    And if the cheating was so plain and simple to see, why did the NFL present such a poor case? Why did Goodell lie in his order after the first hearing? Why did they not allow Pash to testify in the hearing? Why did they refuse to hand over notes from the Wells report? Because they knew they had a shit case and there was no chance that it would hold up. Brady should've been fined $25K the week before the Super Bowl. But no, the almighty Roger had to drop the hammer and he expected Brady to fall at his feet. He had to listen to other owners (allegedly) that can't seem to figure out why the Pats have been good for so long and wanted to see the Patriots punished. He's an embarrassment to the league.

    There are four types of people when it comes to observing this whole ordeal the past 7 months:
    1 - Patriots fans
    2 - People who hate Tom Brady (cuz he wins)
    3 - People who can look at it objectively & realize what a COMPLETELY FUCKING STUPID scandal this was from the get go
    4 - People who just wanted to watch baseball in peace this summer

    This is stupid. Brady may still serve the supsension at some point. All the lawyers on ESPN and NFL network are chiming in that the CBA clearly allowed Goodell to do this and that judges most of the time will not overturn something that was collectively bargained. Based on how long the appeals for the star caps case took Brady may be retired before this is over. But sadly this is far from over. How did the players ever allow this dumbass to have this much power? I fucking hate the NFL sometimes. The season is about to start. How about they just let us enjoy it.

    Already after 2 days later one owner from the Atlanta Falcons Bland I think that's his name is desinting from Goodell. I'm pretty sure they'll be more.

    So, twice in 3 days the bar I go to has rented out the back bar room for private fantasy football drafts. I really can't believe people are that fucking dorky that you'll sit in a damn room like the actual NFL draft and pick people for fantasy teams. Do these guys actually think they're execs running real teams or something.

    Fantasy football has completely ruined the NFL for me. You can't watch a game in peace w/o some idiot rambling on about his fucking fantasy team.

    You can't even discuss amazing plays without some idiot to going into a damn diatribe about how it affected their god forsaken fantasy match up. "Did you see that freakin' catch by Julio Jones?" Dude I was up 2 pts and the guy I was going against had Matt Ryan and that catch kept the drive going and I lost my fantasy bc he ended up throwing a touchdown. If he doesn't make that catch, the Falcons punt and I win. I DONT GIVE A FLYING FFFFUUUUCCCCKKKKKK ABOUT YOUR FANTASY TEAM THAT WAS AN AWESOME CATCH!

    Well, if you think fantasy football has ruined the NFL, you must not have liked football all that much to begin with. Most of the adult males in this country do some sort of fantasy football. You are definitely in the minority.

    But I do understand your complaint. I have any where from 8-13 teams in any given year and get annoyed when people talk about their teams.

    I will bet the first taker $100 that the patriots don't win the super bowl this season.

    Nobody would take that bet but at 7-1 it's not "highly unlikely" that they win it again this year. That's all I meant. There's only a couple teams with better odds.

    Conversely, it is highly unlikely that your Bills will win it. Hey oh!

    I don't care what their preseason odds are, I will always take 31 teams against your 1. Except when tiger was in his prime. I usually took him in the tiger vs the field bets.
