maybe one day the nfl will levy a punishment strong enough to actually prevent them from cheating. until then I expect more of the same from the pats.
He won't be and they will grant the appeal and reduce it to either 2 games or no games Should have been a year
They really have never received a punishment that would deter them from cheating even though they have been identified as the most cheating team in the history of the league. And Pats fans will still complain.

Can someone please ban Burning Elvii on general principle? He is a complete embarrassment of a human being.
Semi-related (in the vein of cheating), didn't think it deserved a new thread. I was over on GGN and they had a pretty interesting piece on playbook, and the detail/sacredness of them, you can read it in depth if that is your thing. http://www.ganggreennation.com/2015/5/11/5824742/ggn-chalkboard-the-art-of-the-playbook Nevertheless the posted a funny video clip from the Sandler movie The Water Boy... Check it...
If? Well he's not a Jet and all the "much ado about nothing" defensive posturing o/b/o the Patriots rings hollow as hell when considering: - the star QB getting suspended for a quarter of the season - the organizaion forfeiting a pair of draft picks--one of them a 1st rounder - the organization having to pony up a SEVEN FIGURE fine. End of the 5th: Yanks 5, Tampa Bay 1, and Brady's been suspended. Mondays should be so good. www.patsfans.com
So Brady gets suspended 4 games without pay. That puts about $5-7M back into the Pats cap space. Fuck that.
my reaction is they got off SUPER easy. nothing for belicheck, only 1 first rounder and only 4 games for brady. should have been a year for both brady and belcheck and 2 first rounders that said, im happy with then result, because i had assumed it would have been 0 games and 0 picks
Repeat offender. Fuck Brady he's a pawn. Bellishit should have been suspended for the year. Fuck this.
Why do I get the sick feeling that this will somehow turn into a positive for the Patriots? Like Jimmy Garropolo will turn out to be the next John Elway or the Pats will go on this rampage of revenge against the league as they did in 2007.
