    could this affect our opener more than it would have otherwise? balls inflated to proper poundage for tom tom. could it affect passes? will tom tom even play? I'm liking our chances even better now. what say you?:smiley1::cool:

    I say suspend him game 1, as the Steelers will needs wins vs some of these tough opponents. I'm going to say it, Steelers cannot beat the Patriots on the road, with Brady in their home opener. I don't care if it cheapens a potential win, with the schedule the Steelers have, they need as much help as they can. Let the real matchup be in the post season to decide it.

    From how Adam Schefter put it, I'd say it is a very real possibility: the league seems ticked. Vegas has taken the game "off the board."

    Given that Brady flat-out LIED about his knowledge, back in January. We all know how Goodell hates lying.

    But the other matter is that Goodell seems to also be passing this over the NFLPA.

    The texts are funny, and I think would lead a reasonable person to say that Brady likely knew. However I can't see the NFL suspending him for a game. They'll fine him a token amount that's less than his wife earns for each runway step and call it a day.

    A lot of speculation from the media that Brady will get a suspension.

    Don't worry folks the patsies will be fine. Ever see the movie Face Off they are in the lab as we speak. My hatred for them knows no bounds.

    Quite.

    There's no actual proof from the texts themselves, even though they are pretty funny. There's fairly clear induction, but not actual proof that would get past an appeal by the Pats.

    At the moment. Maybe more turns up...

    Question is, why didn't this come out before the draft? Goodell should have docked them some picks, or at least the 1st rounder.

    Watermelon needle time, watermelon needle time! You couldn't write this stuff and have people believe it. 4 game suspension is my guess.

    Kraft's response kind of backs up my suspicion - going on about lack of incontrovertible evidence etc.

    And also mentioning that the Colts also had deflated balls, apparently.

    It all reeks.

    So Brady might not be playing the game and it's a win for us? Lame.

    Brady should get at least 2 games. They should also take picks away. They have been guilty before so bring the hammer down...

    Oh, that's right, the Liar Goodell's BFF is Kraft. Hmmmm... So how do you handle it Commish ?(The worst Commissioner ever in Professional Sports) Guess we will see. Maybe get some stones their Liar and unleash hell :lolol:

    LeBeau is no longer the DC. So we have a better shot.

    This report was released less than a week after the draft...

    WHAT A COINCIDENCE!


    Can't take away any picks now can they? In my mind the typical 2 games and a fine is not enough here, but I have doubts it will be anything more than that. Goodell and Kraft are buds. Don't expect much to come from this.

    I think he's the best QB ever but he clearly cheated. I'm disgusted.

    Given that suspensions were handed down for the Browns' Messagegate, it won't look good if Brady doesn't get any games.
