You serious Clark?
Look they've had several ex NFL QB's go on record saying this isn't a big deal because everyone messes with the ball. So if you are the NFL, why blow this up unless you are trying to divert attention from other things?

The thing that is confusing me is that most people are saying the NFL is not strict enough, but when they hammer someone everyone says the NFL is too strict. It seems they can't win.
Because they don't bring the hammer when they should but do bring the hammer when it's not necessary.
Tom made a couple mistakes: he got caught, and he told the league to take a hike when they questioned him.
maybe i can clear this up. the nfl is soft on things they should be strict on and they or strict on things that they should be soft on. a guy who beats his kid is allowed back into the league. and .5psi is possibly let out of a ball and the team loses major draft picks and a player who might have known and done it gets punished with a 4 game suspension.
Does the crime justify the punishment? According to some of the punishments the NFL has handed out, the crime isn't anywhere near this punishment.
I can understand where you and others are coming from. I feel it is better to rule with an iron fist. I also feel that by coming down hard on this they can't be lax with other punishments, without people crying foul. I also feel they hit Brady harder because he told them to take a hike. I am okay with that as well.
There sure are a lot of Brady/cheating apologists here.
He got what he deserved. Others will now think twice about this and other forms of cheating. Will it end cheating - no. Will it reduce it - yes.

This is the typical confusion of the criminal justice system with the NFL.
Your employer may let you keep working in the hospital (in my case) after an arrest for domestic violence, but they'll still fire you for short-cutting lab tests.
NFL to all future and current players: If you beat you wife/kids, we'll work with you but, don't you dare let any air out of a football!
Sorry, but this punishment is way overboard, especially since they don't even have solid proof. They think that he probably knew, that's basically what the report says, probably. Wow, "probably" is all that is needed to get a 4 game suspension and draft picks taken away! The NCAA needs to hire those investigators, Cam "probably" got paid... Auburn gets the death penalty. FSU "probably" helped cvoer up Winston's rape...death penalty to FSU.

I don't have a problem with Brady's punishment. It HAD to have been done at his behest, and he didn't cooperate with the investigation. Besides, it'll almost certainly be reduced to 1-2 games on appeal.There sure are a lot of Brady/cheating apologists here.

The penalties on the organization, though, are flat out bonkers. You'd think that players were illegally selling back books or something.
"Companies" are generally responsible to some extent for the work related actions of their "employees", whether they were aware of the actions or not.
Maybe I missed it but was anything done towards the employee shown on tape taking the balls into the men's room and the other(s) caught texting the incriminating messages.
