He has one last pathetic resort - trying to go to SCOTUS, and I think they have much more important things to do.

Half of CT is more NY than Boston, too. But you're right. When I lived in north-central Massachusetts, near the NH border, it was cultlike.

When the redskins and cowboys manipulated their contracts to cram $$ into the uncapped year, the NFL came along and punished them for salary cap avoidance

Brady and the Pats intentionally renegotiated his contract to put almost all of his compensation into a bonus and minimum compensation into salary, to avoid the economic impact of the suspension. under the same authority used in the Skins/Cowboys case, when a transaction is structured to evade the impact of a valid decision by the commissioner, the NFL should deem a normal (for Brady) portion of the bonus to be annual salary and include it in the suspension effects.

This is true.

And personally, the league never should have punished the Skins and Cowboys. How do you punish a team for violating a salary cap that does not exist?

I thought the Skins/Cowboys punishment was odd. Basically a pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered kind of deal.

Here, under similar authority, if I were Goodell, I would look at deeming the salary and bonus to be allocated in the proportion as the average ratio of Brady's prior contracts. Then apply the suspension to that calculated "deemed" salary amount.

Brady announced at 12:30 that he is dropping the lawsuit and will take the 4-game suspension.

The irony will be that the Pats will go 4-0 with Garapolo under center....

Pats fans honestly believe that Garoppolo will step in and be the next Brady.

It would be bigger irony if they went 4-0 under Garoppolo, and 0-12 under Brady.

4-0 under Garapolo, Brady comes back in game 5, caught cheating in yet a new way cooked up by Bellicheat, suspended again for 4 more games.....team goes 4-8 the rest of the way, eliminated by... guess who?

I can dream, can't I?

I am so sick and tired of hearing about how Brady's best revenge will be getting Goodell to hand him the Lombardi Trophy.

Why does Brady get to exact revenge? For getting caught cheating? And Goodell is some Jets shill because he was an intern for the Jets for one year more than 30 years ago? That makes up for him being buddies with Kraft? That negates him covering up for Patriots cheating? That makes up for Kraft being the guy responsible for him getting his huge salary?

Enough with the BS about Brady deserving some revenge over Goodell. You and your team cheated, YET AGAIN, and you're upset that you actually got fairly punished this time.

This punishment is actually illegal. It's collusion of the owners to have a handshake deal to not pay players. I have no clue how this isn't in court.

It's not in court because not every team whines and cries the way the Patriots do.

But you're right. Snyder and Jones had more of a case against the league than Brady did.

It wouldn't be the owners alone, the nflpa should have complained that the owners colluded to keep salaries down, and even punished teams that acted legally.

Players gave NFL the right to the the Commish deal out punishment & arbitrate all complaints . Stupid by Players & hence why Courts ended it. Far as Brady & Pats cheating....just needs to STOP. Deflating the footballs helped Brady but isnt the biggest effect in games to help them. Its deflating footballs that helps WR's-TE's-RB's in catching passes one handed & football easier to grip & catch. Notice how WR's -TE's RB's has many dropped passes before coming to Pats? Once on Pats their dropped passes stats are 99% lower than before. Stop cheating ( deflating balls-Filming other teams on & off the field/locker room at half time) bending the rules. Pats are good enough to win without cheating & are a disgrace & entire SB championships are questionable . Cheaters never win? Seems to work for Pats.
