Tom Brady Suspended 4 games, Pats forfeit 2016 1st rounder and 2017 4th rounder

[AVM]

As long as it sticks at 4 and can't be reduced I guess I'm ok with this, although I was hoping for 8 .

Agreed

[Jet Nut]

Nope.

 

The Steelers and Bills are the big AFC winners.  This sucks for us.  In fact, we are Brady's first home game, the crowd will be insane.

SAR I

Pats lose those two and hopefully more helps us, more than Pitt

[Blackout]

I bet it gets reduced to two games ...

 

I came in expecting 2 games to begin with.  Maybe even 1 at that. 2-4 is great because it still taints his legacy.

lemming watch for boston harbor tonight at 11

[Jetdawgg]

The Patriot Way...4 SB's......NO Cred lol

[BigRy56]

This is a HUGE hit to Tom Brady's legacy

[prime21]

Good for him. Maybe if he manned up he may have been fined 2 games but he wanted to smile and act untouchable. Either way F him and the Pats.

[AVM]

Also worth noting...would Goodell be the one he'd appeal to?

[Sperm Edwards]

At least it wasn't swept under the rug like last time.

[AVM]

Spygate apparently referenced during the announcement

[BroadwayJets]

One of the better Mondays in recent memory

[jeaniec]

Why do I feel like he'll appeal it down to 1 or 2?

My thought is that he won't appeal.  I think he wants this just to go away.

[RutgersJetFan]

Nope.

 

The Steelers and Bills are the big AFC winners.  This sucks for us.  In fact, we are Brady's first home game, the crowd will be insane.

Don't spoil it with your sh*t. This day is my Graceland. This is Episode VII and Batman v Superman all rolled into one. This is my dog having diarrhea on your lawn.

[Jolot]

BB of course gets to use ignorance as an excuse , if I'm Sean Payton I'm on the phone right now seeing what my options are to sue the NFL for my lost salary....I know unrealistic but what a joke.

[Flushing Roots]

Legacy just took a huge hit as well as the perception that the 4 SBs were won fair and square.

I will sleep well tonight.

[Morrissey]

This is a HUGE hit to Tom Brady's legacy

Won't be mentioned on his Hall of Fame bust. 

[CaliforniaJet]

DAMN busted for cheating, AGAIN!!!!!!!

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

 

****

[Sperm Edwards]

I also like the 2017 pick, insignificant as it may seem at first glance. It isn't how high the pick is. It's that during the next 2 drafts in a row, for 2 more seasons, an annual reminder that the Pats are cheaters lest anyone forget.

[jgb]

Stunned and shocked nfl did the right thing. Thought we were being set up for disappointment when Wells report came out right after draft. I care less about the length of the suspension than taking away the "see brady and belly can still win so lets put spygate bs to bed" argument,

*CHEAT*CHEAT*CHEAT*CHEAT*

I was just going to post that.  we get to throw it in their faces until April '17

 

lol

[Larz]

my phone is blowing up, lol

[BigRy56]

Is Tom Brady still a first ballot Hall of Famer now that he has been suspended for cheating?

It's Mutombo swatting that sh*t back and saying "no no no, not today."

[Flushing Roots]

Despite all the stupid sh*t we have done over the last 50 years, we never did something like this.

Would rather win one SB fair and square than four by cheating.

yes

[jgb]

Cheeeeeeeeeaaaaatttteeeerrrrrrrrrrrzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!

[Flushing Roots]

Not now... but he will get in in year 2 or 3.

[rillo]

The picks are so random, but I'll allow it. I bet he won't serve the whole suspension.

One of the weeks is a bye week too, and he comes back for the colts game.

I think you meant hall of shamer! BAM! 

[SayNoToDMC]

So still no SB where they havent been caught blatantly cheating

[Morrissey]

This is no different than Graig Nettles getting busted for corking his bat. When you think of Nettles do you think of that? Of course not. 

[Flushing Roots]

Cheeeeeeeeeaaaaatttteeeerrrrrrrrrrrzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!

 

This will be the game-long chant when they come into MetLife.

Will not miss that one...

[CaliforniaJet]

All rings tainted, again. 

[JetsFanInDenver]

Just baffling. This is like getting away with cheating with a tight slap on the wrist. Any commish who was focused on the integrity of the game would have punished the Pats a lot more.

 

Just  cannot understand Brady getting away with just 4 games. BB the guy who everyone loves to say is in control of everything that goes on in the building is getting away scot free. Pats get a couple of picks taken away and a fine. This is NFL's way of telling the teams its almost  OK to cheat.

 

The only silver lining here is, It essentially rubber stamps Brady as a CHEAT forever.

[BigRy56]

I think as extra punishment for cheating Roger Goodell should execute a plan to hang Tom Brady up by his feet and let all of JetNation hit him with pool noodles for 24 hours. ESPN and NFL Network would eat that up.
