Good one. virgogal May 2015 #1

Cheating is still morally wrong. Not as morally wrong as the other crimes. Coventina May 2015 #2

Thst was my thought libodem May 2015 #22

but I think Will's OP makes the point that none of those players was suspended for as long as Brady CreekDog May 2015 #25

for the record, roethlisberger was suspended for four games (like Brady) and peterson for 14 fishwax May 2015 #34

Good points CreekDog May 2015 #54

Especially the "maybe, probably, could have known," kind of cheating. 11 Bravo May 2015 #57

Is it morally wrong to accuse someone of cheating without a shred of evidence? amuse bouche May 2015 #67

Well, then, Brady could have cleared this all up, couldn't he? R B Garr May 2015 #115

It's pretty simple. Brady's lawyer told him not to turn the phone over amuse bouche May 2015 #118

Now you've changed the point to deflect. Tom could have exonerated himself R B Garr May 2015 #120

Repeating your same nonsense over and over doesn't make it true amuse bouche May 2015 #123

What's nonsense is Brady refusing to cooperate to clear his name, R B Garr May 2015 #124

Nope, Brady was interviewed extensively. Wonder why it hasn't been released? amuse bouche May 2015 #125

Reality: Tom Brady Suspension shows non-cooperation is a fumbled strategy R B Garr May 2015 #130
