Man what a harsh penalty for Tom Brady... Heard he has to play a full season for the Jets.

this is not funny

i feel awful for the jaguars

absolutely brutal for the jags. 
What the hell do the orange names mean? 
VIP BRO

Whoa, NFL actually cracked down on the Pats. Because all things considered, they shit all over the Colts that game without deflated footballs.

FOUR GAMES?!

What the fuck. NFL's punishments are so wack.

people are still just butthurt about ray rice and will reference it to eternity even though the nfl is literally fulfilling what most analysts speculated last week. regardless the pats have had repeated problems and have a organizational reputation for shady activites that the league took into account. the penalties will only get worse and worse if they keep having these types of issues, as they should. 

i'd be more surprised if it doesnt get reduced to 2 games. 

The Pats were going to win regardless so why cheat in the first place?
I mean it was just Brady and two other guys. Not really the whole Patriots organization. It's not like Kraft and Belichek were in on this. 

Good. Now can we please stop fucking hearing about deflategate?

Considering a bunch of people think the punishment was ridiculous, Probably not. This is gonna get appealed and probably still be talked about when the season starts. Classic NFL for you. 

what a great off season as a cowboys fan. really really excited for this season

 

I am interested in running another fantasy season with people from here. do we have enough interest for a 12 team espn league?

Patriots fans wasting their money by donating money... to Robert Kraft. Jets fans wasting money on billboards along the New Jersey Turnpike. Excellent use of resources. 

i'd rather jets fans waste money on the tom shady  billboards than the fire john idzik billboards, thats for sure 
Fuck.
Patriots fans are the scum of the Earth
Football season is right around the corner and I still need to figure out how I'm going to pay for season Colts tickets :X
Holy shit there has only been one comment here in the 3 weeks I haven't had internet. Is this whole forum this dead? 
Kinda. I've been redditing my NFL needs since nobody here seems to be discussing the offseason (in terms of this thread specifically). 
What's to discuss?
i mean i know its the offseason but there are still a dozen new NFL stories pushed out every day. yea most of them are crap but this thread has never been this dead. 
We can talk about the Niners having one of the roughest offseasons in NFL history, mainly due the to quantity.
i read a report about Harbaugh's constant 4-year tenure and how he wears both his welcome and players far too much. regardless something organizational is going on over there, they've had TWO guys under 25 retire alongside their stars, which is just insane.
There are definitely issues in the organization but people are reading too much into the retirements. Both guys left the NFL to protect their bodies. There is no conspiracy behind that. Anthony Davis is gonna come back eventually and Borland is a smart guy who didn't want his brain to deteriorate. There is no franchise in sports that would cause players that young to give up millions of dollars in order to get out for. I guarantee it. 
I read something about York walking in on a players and coaches meeting. Harbaugh said "this is a meeting for men." I'm taking it with a grain of salt, but it's still funny haha.

i mean what does that mean for every other young player in the league, that they dont understand the risks as well as these guys? i know its probably all a coincidence that these mass retirements are hitting the 9'ers specifically but its still pretty interesting. 

@Ging: wouldn't surprise me but all things like that are just hear-say. 

go jets
heard geno threw 3 picks in the first day of the first mini camp? thats a good start
Jimmy G threw 5 for NE his first day. 
I think it means that other players are willing to put their bodies on the line for millions of dollars. As far as I'm concerned there is 0 conspiracy behind a player leaving to protect his body. Just because other people don't do it and two people who happened to be 49ers retired for that reason at the same time doesn't mean there is something more behind it than that.
