Kelly the Dog Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Yee and the Pats will have a week or more to make bad PR for a league obsessed with its marketing image. The networks and major advertising partners will be working the back channels. And if the NFLPA goes hard to support TB, I can see Goodell saying half a loaf is better than none.... I can't see NLFPA going hard for Brady, he basically told them I don't want or need your help. Then lied to investigators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Caveman Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 They picked 32nd this year....will probably still win 10 and make the playoffs so will pick late again would you rather have your first pick at 30 or 60? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I can't see NLFPA going hard for Brady, he basically told them I don't want or need your help. Then lied to investigators. Think the same. Pretty sure he waived the NFLPA so he could say I don't wanna give them my phone. I think the NFLPA would have balked at him if he did that and made it so his chances of appeal were 0 instead of 10%.

Drewgetz Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Super bowl trinkets alone cover the fine Not paying Brady for 4 games more than pays for the fine. They are actually prolly saving money with this punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I can't see NLFPA going hard for Brady, he basically told them I don't want or need your help. Then lied to investigators. Aggred. But the union also has to make sure it's not marginalized. They may hold their nose, but IMO they can't sit back and look like bystanders on such a high profile case...

The Wiz Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Not paying Brady for 4 games more than pays for the fine. They are actually prolly saving money with this punishment. The money has to be donated to charity that Brady was designated to earn. Edited May 11, 2015 by The Wiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 If Garappolo replaces Brady like Brady replaced Bledsoe, I'm looking for a new hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 The Patriots seem ok in giving up 1st rounders in exchange for winning the Super Bowl. If they wanted to send a message they should have stripped them of the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
....lybob Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 The penalty seems right about the only thing I'd change is instead of a million dollar fine ( which is like the average guy getting a 5 dollar fine) I'd have two years where their salary cap increases are distributed to the rest of the NFL.

Ted William's frozen head Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) 4 games for Brady 1 Million fine 1st pick 2016 edit 4th round 2017 pick Bills fans get screwed out of seeing the Pats @ full strength. The suspension should've been a year, so everyone else gets to share in seeing the watered down product on the field. I wanted to see the new Buffalo defense turn Brady into a brown stain on the Orchard Park carpet.
