Quote:It certainly smells of a God-El vengeance.  The appeal was not handled professionally.  It was obviously a kangaroo "court."  How dare anyone appeal the King's ruling, and not bow and kiss the ring.

 

So, basically... God-El was going to sit on his original decision and had planned to ignore everything in the appeal from the beginning.  Yet another waste of everyone's time and resources.

<p style="margin-left:40px;">"Although the text messages couldn’t be retrieved directly from Brady’s phone, his agents provided all of the phone numbers with which Brady exchanged text messages. His agents also said that the league could attempt to get the actual text messages from the phones of the people with whom Brady communicated, but the league refused to attempt to try, claiming that it would be too hard to track down the various people and to persuade them to cooperate."

 

So the truth is, they had every means but just didn't bother. Why? God-El never wanted the truth, he wanted Brady just as Ahab pursued his whale, and no amount of evidence was going to get in his way.

 

But... at least he's kept the NFL in the news during the dead zone.  So, mission accomplished?

 

All because he's petty, and butthurt that someone dared to actually stand up to him.  And once again, he jumped to a conclusion without having all the information.  A growing pattern of his.

 

He's certainly no Tagliabue.  It's been stumble, after misstep, after attempted cleanup, after stumble and misstep yet again by this clown.  Enough is enough.

So you're against the suspension?

 

Or just Anti-Goodel?

 

I've never been fond of Goodel or how he handles things. But the Cheatriots and Tom are getting what they deserve.

And it is very likely that despite missing Tom for 4 games, they will still make the playoffs.

 

Tom is fighting this to try to save some face. He wants to remain the Golden Boy.

It's too late.

 

But as long as he has people hanging on his jock... 

 

He's still one of (or THE) greatest to play.

He's just a lying cheating punk.

 

That's OK. It takes all kinds of kinds. He just needs to own up to it and take his lumps like everyone else. He is not beyond the reach of the Almighty Commish.

 

The one the NFLPA agreed to give almighty power to in the most recent CBA.

Because, ya know... Tom and those guys wouldn't ever be effected by it.

And ya know... no one cares about the Blackmons and Gordons of the NFL.
