What deal DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #7

Ouch. trumad May 2015 #9

"That doesn’t pertain to Tom Brady’s four-game suspension." MADem May 2015 #14

All Tom had to do was cooperate with the prior investigation, but he didn't. R B Garr May 2015 #32

Yes, I'd definitely give my personal cell phone to my employer if they asked. bluedigger May 2015 #35

Lame, because that's not what was required. All he had to do was R B Garr May 2015 #36

Like I said...the diminished argument. trumad May 2015 #28

I've never been to a game and I rarely watch them. I could hardly be called a fan. MADem May 2015 #29

You didn't answer my question above. trumad May 2015 #30

I honestly don't know. I know that they cherry-picked the conversations, and they used MADem May 2015 #31

Brady better be careful lest he gets Clintoned DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #13

Like I said, time will tell. MADem May 2015 #15

He has hired a superb lawyer with whom he has worked previously on player dispute matters. MADem May 2015 #18

If I were Brady, I'd just take the four games. yeoman6987 May 2015 #80

Robert Kraft is a piece of shit used car salesman. lovemydog May 2015 #19

That's a bit harsh... DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #20

I just thought I'd take the opportunity lovemydog May 2015 #21

I don't believe he had personal knowledge of Spy and Deflategate. DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #23

As a fan of any team playing against the Patriots, lovemydog May 2015 #24

LOL DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #25

Squirrel! n/t cherokeeprogressive May 2015 #22

Odd. They have even more of a case than Brady against this horseshit. PeteSelman May 2015 #26

Do they still have to give up the Super Bowl trophy? underpants May 2015 #27

The cheating is definitely worth it. The Pats never won a Super Bowl R B Garr May 2015 #33

Bitter, bitter tears, there! MADem May 2015 #40

LMAO, or it could be bitter tears for the cheaters who have been R B Garr May 2015 #41

I don't think you're laughing at all--it's obvious that you are furious at these turns of events. MADem May 2015 #42

Actually I just copied your silly smiley, and I don't even have a pro team R B Garr May 2015 #44

If you read the thread you'd learn my POV on the game. MADem May 2015 #45

Actually, all I've said is Brady could have ended this by cooperating, R B Garr May 2015 #46

I think once they lied about how accessible the ball boy was (and they did lie about that) MADem May 2015 #48

OMG, how ridiculous. Now the NFL is out to get the Patriots?? LOL R B Garr May 2015 #49

Can you explain this to me. DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #50

I'm sure the Brady Bunch is doing whatever they can to keep R B Garr May 2015 #51

If they appeal it to a federal court I would assume he would have to answer this question under oath DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #52

Yes, I think you're absolutely right. R B Garr May 2015 #53

It reminds me of the Paula Jones Case that led to Clinton's impeachment. DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #54

"Tom Brady should just let this go away lest he perjure himself" Yes, R B Garr May 2015 #62

I am not the one saying it. Read the papers. MADem May 2015 #63

No, you are sounding aggrieved. It's laughable that this all a hatchet job. R B Garr May 2015 #64

You are repeatedly trying to ascribe your emotions to me! MADem May 2015 #65

In the comments section--written by you, I presume! MADem May 2015 #67

No, and I'm not going to Google, either--I've made my views clear. MADem May 2015 #71

Again. I just posted links to actual articles about Gooddell not recusing himself R B Garr May 2015 #72

No, that's not 'just' what you did--anyone reading this thread can see what you've said, here. MADem May 2015 #73

Not just now--throughout this exchange! They're your very own emotional words! Own them! MADem May 2015 #78

In your dreams. And now with more stupid pictures. R B Garr May 2015 #79

Ooooh, touchy, touchy, now! Anger! The "stupid" word! MADem May 2015 #82

Here's your post #40 where you started getting emotional: R B Garr May 2015 #83

Nooooo....those weren't MY bitter tears! They were yours! MADem May 2015 #84

I copied what you wrote, which was about emotions. Tears even. R B Garr May 2015 #85

Yes--your emotions. Your tears! MADem May 2015 #86

They were your words about emotions. They came through you, R B Garr May 2015 #87

My posts had excerpts from actual articles about the actual situation. R B Garr May 2015 #89

Yeah...but you didn't read the article. You counted on the headline, and it let you down! MADem May 2015 #91

Nope, the excerpt matched. As did the headline. Here you go again: R B Garr May 2015 #92
