Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are coming off another Super Bowl victory, but coming into the next NFL season people in Boston are not smiling. Tom Brady is still suspended for four games though he tried to appeal it, but the NFLPA is now filing a lawsuit against the NFL though I doubt that makes much of a difference. I am not sure how to feel about this situation, as it was not Brady who deflated the balls or anything, he just went out on the field and played his best to win as all players do. The fact Brady had some apparent awareness is what seems to have him caught in the middle along with the fact he broke his phone when they were looking for proof and asked him for it. He painted a guilty look on his face by doing that, if had avoided destroying the phone I believe it would be a much different story right now. Brady claims to be completely innocent, saying his team did nothing to cheat. He and the Patriots organization are saying Roger Goodell is simply targeting Brady. That may be the case, I do believe Goodell should go, but Brady has made himself look to guilty and all the fans of other teams are against him. I think it is really coming down to a PR perspective and the effort to keep fans into the NFL and agreeing with its actions by keeping Brady suspended. That may be pushing it, but knowing that players usually get some sort of reduction to their suspension, including Steelers RB Bell who just got his reduced from three to two games, it seems intense that Brady can't do anything about it though it probably is really big Bill here at fault. Things may still happen, but word now is that Brady will miss four games. I don't believe that will affect the Patriots season outcome at all, the Bills and Dolphins I expect to get eight to nine wins, but New England will still grab at least 10 and take the AFC East home yet again.
