TheFunPolice Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 He won't miss a game. HOWEVER that is for the best. He will be 39 when the season begins. This is it, folks. 4 more games of hits, prep, practice, wear and tear on a 39 year old body is good for everyone who is not a PATS* fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am Brady why am I spending all this money on legal fees & such. Just look at the 4 game suspension as a way of keeping fresh when the games really do matter in December/January. It is 4 games & as long as the Pats get 1 or 2 wins out of it they should be fighting for home field once Brady is reinstated. The end is near for Marsha, just got to be a bit more patient folks.

TheFunPolice Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) I personally hope he plays all 16 because by the end he'll be banged up and exhausted. Who wants a fresh Brady rolling into the league in October without a scratch on him and ready to roll? Edited May 4, 2016 by TheFunPolice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLFan Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 "Satan laughing spreads his wing..." Because he's not. Exactly. The NFLPA is waisting the player's money litigating issues that they failed to adequately address in contract negotiations. If I was a player I would not be happy they are spending so much money defending a primadona while there are real issues to be addressed with health and safety, retirement benefits, and quality of life for the vast majority of players who do not reach the upper levels of the sport like Brady.

PromoTheRobot Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 If Garapollo has to play I expect the Pats coaches to figure out a way to send signals to him during plays to help him find open receivers. Either with an illegal helmet radio or even through secret code on the end zone scoreboards. Maybe a flickering light left, right, up or down that signals where to throw.

Over and over, the NFLPA has shown no interest in improving player safety. And they have defended every player who has suspended, including actual violent criminals.

Go Kiko go Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Here we go... Not in the least. Brady simply requested a two-week extension of time to file a brief supporting his request for the full court to rehear his case, which is routine and almost certainly would not be denied, absent some indication that he has been delinquent in litigating his case. Ultimately, he has to persuade the full Second Circuit to rehear his case, which is something that court rarely does and, more importantly, doesn't like to do. When a full appellate court rehears a decision that has already been decided by a panel of the court's judges, it represents a slap in the face to the judges on the panel who originally heard and decided the case, because by doing so, the full slate of judges on the court are expressing their belief that their colleagues may have screwed up. All the appellate courts--but especially the Second Circuit--feel strongly that their panel decisions should not be disturbed by the full court absent extraordinary circumstances. Added to that is the fact that courts don't particularly like to wade into cases that attract a lot of mainstream attention. Even if a number of the judges on the Second Circuit have some concerns about the reasoning of the panel decision, they may be particularly reluctant to afford this case the rare distinction of being reheard by the full court, simply to avoid giving off the perception that the court is beholden to Brady's star power.
