    I'm assuming Brady's punishment will be based on a spin from the"Wheel of Destiny" that was put together by Goodell. Probably the same wheel used for deciding the fate of Ray Rice and Sean Payton.

    There is a good chance Tom could miss a couple of preseason games, or the entire season. Only the wheel knows. I would be nervous as shit if I was a Pats fan.

    I'd probably be nervous if I wasn't just kinda numb at this point. My guess would be four with a reduction to two following an appeal. With this league office though all bets are off. The real punishment to Brady is the damage to his reputation.

    And if this is true, that is punishment well-deserved.
    That's fair.

    This just shows Tom Brady has no integrity. He obviously messed with the balls. The greatest of all time don't get to be the greatest by cheating. He'll get into the hall of fame, he'll be praised, but he'll always be known as the guy the deflated balls. His legacy is definitely tarnished as a result of this. Add this with spygate and the general hatred of the patriots and you get this.

    it doesnt matter how the nfl handles it, how the investigation is done, etc.


    Bottom line is they shouldn't have cheated. Again.

    But once they were caught, it was the Patriots who handled it poorly with the trifecta of zingers. brady's awful PC where he sat there and lied for 40 minutes. Kraft's PC demanding an apology. Then, Belichick claiming he has figured out science. It leaves douche chills.
    This shitstorm is nobody's fault but the Patriots. no matter how much Kraft, Brady's Dad, and Brady's Agent try to throw up more smokescreens.
    If the Patriots admitted to the NFL, threw their hands up and apologized..."deflategate" would still be a punchline.

    I will predict now Brady gets nothing and the Pats get a 500k fine. If you try and do anything to Brady the players union gets involved. No way with the new arbitration rules in place a belief he may have done it gets upheld. Goodell is a buffoon but he was a lawyer. Under the old rules where he was judge, jury and executioner he could get away with it. Pats will get the maximum he can give without having to take it to the other owners which is 500k.

    I look forward to watching the Patriots win Super Bowl 50, with or without Tom Brady.

    Sorry but it does matter how it was handled. If Brady deserves to be punished he should be punished. At the same time, if this looks and smells like another in a long line of screw ups by the Goodell administration - and it does - we shouldn't pretend otherwise just because the Patriots are easy targets.

    Lol. I got $100 that says if Brady is suspended for any length of time, the patriots won't win the super bowl.

    Looking at the Pats schedule, I hope it is a five game suspension! :-)

    Pats winning the Super Bowl again would require making it to a FIFTH consecutive AFC Championship game. I think that would be unprecedented. So history is not on their side.

    The 49ers made it 6 times in 7 seasons so it could happen. Of course they had the actual greatest QB in Montana back then. And unless Missed something no one has been in 5 straight. Dallas (twice) Philly and NE are the only other ones with 4 straight.

    Didn't McNabb take Philly to 4 straight NFC championship games?

    Dallas, Buffalo, Philadelphia and New England. No one else has made it to four straight and no one has made it to five.

    Man. I couldn't even imagine my team losing 4 super bowls in a row. I still haven't recovered from the Bears losing to the Colts in 06.

    You can't imagine and I can't describe it. The first one was the worst.

    Yep. There are no words for something like that. I really hope Buffalo gets one soon.
