    Just had an argument with my wife about this. She claims the whole process is actually unconstitutional because while on suspension, he's not allowed to hold another job thus preventing him from having an income.

    Pretty laughable. Seems like only the old timers want to stay on the ship once he hangs em up. Not a surprise with today's player-first shit generation. Every time Im at Foxboro I see 99 percent current players jersey's. Not many current NE "fans" know about anything pre-Brady years.

    Apparently contracts aren't enforceable if parts of them are illegal.

    I can't even.

    Why the fuck did we ever allow women the right to vote.

    Did you mention to her the fact that he isn't prevented from full nagging in his multimillion dollar endorsement deals whilst on suspension?

    That sounds pretty unconstitutional.

    She's not an American citizen, she can't vote.

    He still collects money from his business that is directly paid by the Patriots because somehow that's not against the rules...

    bur he still can make money on endorsements and appearances. So the argument that it is unconstitutional is not valid.

    I love the "commish is out to get us" narrative. The guy swept your misdeeds under the rug for over a decade, you took it too far and he slapped you down. Keep crying assholes.

    It must be sad that you won't accept that your team cheats and isn't apologetic about it. When's the next scandal? Brady fell on the sword for BB this time......next time will be even better. Maybe franchise death sentence.

    I think aside from the Brady Patriots component, something seriously fucked up is going on with this whole thing. The court case was about Brady's likelihood for guilt as a component of the fairness of the "trial" with Berman's decision. Then, on appeal this court ruled that Brady being innocent didn't matter due to the CBA and the power ceded to Roger Goodell (the owners).

    The irony, is I'm fairly sure if you start winning a lot of the same ownership folks hating on the Pats would piss directly into the Jets mouth given the opportunity. I'm not sure why anyone would want to be the fan of a league that had chagrined billionaires playing games with any of their teams/players, and by extension their fans? But right now, for anyone not a Patriots fan this whole thing has been a real pleasing platter of hatred delivered with real effects, if that makes people happier, and then they run with it, why not?

    Reality is the lies, numbers and sequence of events and public record, and will stand the test of time. Nothing happened but some shit fer brains people in the NFL were asleep in 4th grade when they taught you that air compresses in cold and expands in heat and got themselves into a PR pickle. Then they barely needed to make an effort, they rode the wave of hatred to the end that pleased the most and a shitty labor contract made it easy.

    Anyway, fuck the NFL and it's ownership. I can't even blame fans of other teams, if I was a fan on another side of this I'd have some fun with it too.



    Oh well - Want all the games for free next season? Install XBMC/Kodi on any device and as the season gets closer search the add ons for free NFL streaming games. It's cheating, but hey?

    It's etched now forever that rationalization of their entire history is pretty much a sham and they have university classes on how to rebut patriot haters
