26CornerBlitz Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Las Vegas expects the Patriots to struggle without Tom Brady We're on record as saying very little changes if Tom Brady misses the first four games of the season. Las Vegas disagrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 This is an odd subject to take a stance on, John...but to each his own. I've taken the same stance since the beginning of the issue. Nothing odd about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 One of Tom Brady's old teammates thinks he will quit fighting the NFL A former teammate of Tom Brady's thinks he's ready to quit fighting the NFL over Deflategate. With the ruling on Monday morning to reinstate the Tom Brady suspension stemming from Deflategate, it's logical to assume a summer of legal and PR battling is about to begin. But what if Brady and the Patriots just decide to give up the fight? Most folks don't think that's the case, but former Patriots star Willie McGinest, now working on NFL Network, said Monday afternoon on the network he believes Brady is "exhausted" and will "do whatever the league wants him to do" in order to "move on."

gobillsinytown Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Am I the only one that feels a little nervous about this? Wouldn't this be the perfect motivation? Plus, he's 38 years old. So now, he gets an extra rest from game conditions. If they can go 3-1 or even 2-2 over this period, they get a rested, probably maniacally-obsessed-with-winning Brady back for game 5 on. I would expect Bellicheck to use this to motivate his team also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 @SportsLine Brady missing 4 games would be a hit to the start of the season for the Pats. But how big? http://bit.ly/21dol3J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaaadThingsMan Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 The pats*** run the cost/benefit analysis on their cheating. They know they will get caught, but their success outweighs the penalties. They need their rings taken away.seriously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I've taken the same stance since the beginning of the issue. Nothing odd about it. I'm sure the guy who flew a lawnmower attached to a chair into the Capital thought there was nothing odd about his stance on campaign finance reform, either.

Augie Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 @PFF Patriots had biggest gap in passing grade rank and pass-block rank in 2015. How will new QB Jimmy Garoppolo hold up? Maybe it won't be Jimmy G. Maybe they'll draft a future HOF replacement QB in round 1. Oh, wait.... Never mind. It just gets sweeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That's No Moon Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 That was a fun read that essentially led me to conclude that the NFL's lawyers are a lot better at their job than the NFLPA's lawyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 That was a fun read that essentially led me to conclude that the NFL's lawyers are a lot better at their job than the NFLPA's lawyers. All I had to do was read the CBA to learn that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 That was a fun read that essentially led me to conclude that the NFL's lawyers are a lot better at their job than the NFLPA's lawyers. NFLPA leaders depended too much on getting in court what they could not get on bargaining floor. If I was a NFL player who was not making multi-millions per year and was not getting in trouble I'd be looking for other like players and try to split from union offer to renegotiate contract with more emphasis on issues even if it meant I'd be spending more time with team in study sessions, training, etc. In time the undesirables would be cut off from their support and those making multi-millions per year and not constantly being suspended, etc would realize they were paying for association with trouble makers.
