So taking performance-enhancing drugs confers the same level of advantage as getting your footballs underinflated.
Welp.
you've passed Captain Hand Over Your Phone as the dude who now owns the dumbest comment in this thread.
What will be even more amazing is when Greg Hardy has his suspension lowered to 6 games (which is what I've heard should happen once arbitration completes), a SB winning QB who may have asked for footballs to be slightly underinflated will be punished nearly as harshly as a multi-time beater of women.
Only in the NFL.
4 games is good for maybe breaking an arbitrary rule that has never been enforced and nobody cares (nor should care) about.
Great priorities, guys.
2 games for that ugly ugly incident captured on video... But Goodell "wasn't aware" of that video for a while, right?

Good lord. Have the refs supply the game balls if it's that big of a fucking deal. Not that that will happen of course, because the NFL doesn't care about the actual rules as much as they do pandering to public opinion. Good grief...
to see my first Brady to Devin TD!
So I don't actually mind some sort of punishment. My question is how Bill doesn't get suspended at all? The picks/fines affects the Kraft familyand Bill's ability to draft players he needs. He's probably retiring as soon as Tom is. How is he absolved of this?
What I haven't heard much around here (and maybe because I heard wrong) is that John Harbaugh was mad about those crazy alignments the Pats used to gain an edge on the Ravens, so he called Pagano about the Patriots deflating the balls and told him to check it out and make a fuss. So we can sort of thank John for deflategate?

Just realized I've been under-inflating my car's tires for years. MY WHOLE DRIVING CAREER IS A LIE.

@ReformedBroker Tom Brady suspended four games, or a month of lazy Sundays in bed with a supermodel.

Did I miss that the NFL hired Mark Emmert to head up the discipline committee?
So, NFL, what you're saying is:
footballs >> women's safety
Thank you NFL for giving Tom a reason to destroy you.
The world is against us argument is something fans love, but in reality means absolutely nothing.

Also, TB was blamed for not cooperating because he didn't wanna hand over his private cell phone record. Why did they need his when they already got the other 2 people's? When you got one side of record, you got both sides. Am I missing something?
The NFL has consistently said that you cannot refuse to cooperate with an investigation. Also the it didn't matter argument falls extremely flat when you consider all NE did to hide what they were doing it. If it made no difference why did they go to such lengths to hide what they were doing?
The reason Brady was suspended 4 games is because of the Patriots' opponent in their 5th game. Imagine the TV ratings...
And Brady wasn't asked to hand over his phone. He was asked to choose what texts were relevant and print them up for the investigators, and they would trust his judgment about what was relevant. He declined to do even that much.
