Judge nullifies Brady's supsension

[orval]

I am neutral on Tom Brady, but I felt the league had no evidence that he did anything himself.  They were railroading him for some reason.

Because he's a douchebag?

At this point I have no more damns to give.

[janegold]

I am pleased.

[pixy0stix]

This pisses me off. Mostly because in this case the cheaters are prospering.

[partiallysunny]

Stupid smug Tom Brady.

Exactly!

[Velar Fricative]

That judge saved his marriage too! Maybe.

[eclaires]

My draft is this weekend, muahahahaha.

Also: good. This is what I thought was going to happen. The only person worse than Brady and Bellicheat is Goodell. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Fucker.

There was seriously no one to root for in this situation.

I'm saddened by this, because I have so much dislike for brady the lady.

Mine's tonight! (Though I wouldn't pick up Brady unless he was the last available QB on earth).

I've got one tonight too ... Brady's not on my radar. I've managed to win FF SB's w/o him

But at least he's not Aaron Hernandez.

I see it as a victory for organized labor! The league totally overstepped with the suspension IMO and that's what the judge ruled on. The judge did not rule on the merits of whether or not he was involved in deflating balls or knew about it.

I have really mixed feelings. I don't think the league had enough proof to suspend him. But at the same time, I think he probably did know about the balls. And they won the Super Bowl last year, so arguing that he didn't really benefit from the deflated balls is silly.

Let's be honest...they won it because Pete Carroll made what is by far THE DUMBEST play call ever in the history of everything LOL

I honestly don't think they would have won if it weren't for that, the Seahawks had them rattled.

This right here.

? how so? this had nothing to do with the balls in the Superbowl. and the playoff game the balls were deflated was a complete blowout by the Pats.

This is when you root for an earthquake to swallow them all.

I think the whole deleted Texts thing was probably because he cheated on his wife anyway. I doubt it was related to football.

Because the argument is that if they hadn't deflated the balls to give an advantage, it may not have been a blowout.

Note: I really dgaf about this whole thing.  I have an unshakable belief that Goddell, Brady and Belichick are all the scum of the Earth and should all be fired.  I'm just clarifying the viewpoint.

Belicjhick just gave a very generous donation to a nonprofit in my city for after school programs. Scum would not be a word I would use to describe either of those three. I would give you scum for Aaron Hernandez though.

I did not know that.  That was very kind of him.  But I still firmly believe that he is a cheating liar.

[oscarnerdjulief]

I'm happy about this. I like Brady, Bellicheck (sp.?), and the Patriots, and my husband really likes them, mainly because Brady's from U of Michigan (his favorite team).

It was an overreach, Goodell's dumb, and I hope they beat the living hell out of the Steelers tonight because I hate the Steelers and most of their fans with a passion, and they have Michael Vick, too!!! Do it for the dogs, Tom.

[oscarnerdjulief]

Random thoughts.

My husband has entered the Oscar fray now that Mara was one of the owners who came out against Brady. He's the owner of the New York football Giants in case you wondered. He now doesn't want Rooney Mara (granddaughter of the owner) to win the Oscar for best supporting actress. Sorry, DH, probably going to happen.

It still cracks me up that Philadelphia went from the devil to Jesus. -Vick to Tebow I've watched his catch as a Bronco that beat the Steelers more than any other football play except the final play of this year's Super Bowl. Sherman's face, Carroll as the goat, love it. Love it.

She's also a granddaughter of the Steelers owners (Rooney family) so depending on his love/hate for them, he could always root against her. 

[oscarnerdjulief]

I think I messed up---the Giants' current owner may not be a Mara, and the relationship with Rooney may not be grandfather-granddaughter. It might be some other relation. I'm not sure, and Wiki confused me.

CaptainObvious, we hate the Steelers.  H.A.T.E. 

[captainobvious]

The Mara sisters are the great-granddaughters of both New York Giants founder Tim Mara and Pittsburgh Steelers founder Art Rooney, Sr. (per wikipedia) so one further removed.
