I know there are a number of cheatriots fans that post... what do New Englanders think

of the Tom Brady suspension being upheld? Is he still "innocent because he says so"?

He gets to keep his superbowl ring, and its only a 4 game suspension, so the patriots could still go 12-4 next year. That's not the end of the world by any means. I think the rest of the football community would just like an admission and apology... I'm sure the Colts are owed one

"So fucking what."

I'm excited to see Jimmy Guac start in real games.

It would be great though if the Pats don't raise the banner on opening night though and stick it to the NFL for the big Thursday night kickoff.

When the balls were supposedly under-inflated in the first half the score was Pats 17, Colts 7. In the second half when the balls were inflated the score was the Pats 28, Colts 0. The Colts played better when the balls were under-inflated.

Anyway this whole thing was nonsense. There have been several physicists who have demonstrated the balls were probably normal and not under-inflated. Get over it and figure out another excuse why your team loses again this season.

The teams openly cheat their own rules and each other. The fines for doing so are random and often insanely light. Look at Denver's salary cap issue and the Falcons pipping noise for proof of that. The brain damage issue is sad and very real. The treatment of Seau family is disgusting. The PED use is off the charts. While in other American sports like MLB these issues would create congressional hearings, in the NFL it causes a stir due to fans being pissed off their favorite player is slightly inconvenienced because of cheating, getting arrested, taking PEDs. The league is bloated and its time to ignore it. There's other sports out there and frankly these days I'm sick of the whole NFL. Brady's whole Nixon like attitude is a symptom of the whole sport. It's got ugly out there and I'm done with it.
