2015-16 NFL Preseason Thread

First you said Brady would never take it to court because he was scared of disclosure. Then you said he would never win. Now 12 hours after its announced he'll play you're all "BUT WHERE'S THE DEFAMATION SUIT."

Haters are straight up fucking losers lmao

[Mertron]

Wat

Ok I'll make it simple. Look at my original question about Greg Hardy, which contains a section of the judges actual ruling in Brady's case. He makes no mention of Brady being innocent. He simply states the NFL had no precedent for suspending someone for being "generally aware."

You stated that wasn't the case. And that there was no evidence of wrongdoing. I haven't seen that anywhere in his ruling. That's what I'm asking. From his actual ruling today. I don't care about Brady atm, I'm curious about future appeals.

I don't care about his guilt or innocence, never have. I'm interested in the actual ruling.

I will assume you will simply respond with "youmad" and therefore assume you made that up due to fanboying. If not, fair enough.

Edit: if I do seem mad it's because I just got done at the gym and my back just went out on me again. does anyone here have a spare spine laying around. where's bradford

[Melena]

I just legit lol'ed reading this because your tears are so fucking glorious

And yet there are no tears, just amusement. You seem to think anyone who disagrees with you is mad. Why are you so mad?

[Dimmauk]

He mad because he bought a 8XL Bardy shirt and also looks like the Hulk smeared his shit all over his couch.

[Boyiee]

First you said Brady would never take it to court because he was scared of disclosure.

That's because he didn't want to hand over his phone with Gisele nudes and his Ashley Madison account and guess what happened with the phone. Once it was gone going to court was no longer an issue.

[NinjaLotter]

Fair or not I think it's pretty clear that it's 100% allowed by the CBA, which players agreed to. An appeal just needs 2/3 random judges to agree with the signed document over Berman so I can easily see it happening.

I agree, man. You, a no-name random Jets fan on blue gartr, is probably an expert on legal matters and the CBA. No doubt the judge missed it. You should drop him a line.

[Melena]

So salty.

Umm, he calls out the fact that there is zero evidence Brady did anything wrong. In fact, there's no concrete evidence anything even happened at all.
He called it "a quantum leap" (his words) to take the bullshit found in the Wells Report to mean Tom Brady did anything.

The Pats-have-a-moon-base Spybaby crowd can continue to say he's a cheater but they've so overplayed their hand this time they just look straight up sorry now.

[NinjaLotter]

Patriot fans have moved on to thinking your CRYING is a badge of honor.

From now on every time a hater says "cheater" or " * ", all I'll hear and see is a grown ass man saying "WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Why Your Team Sucks 2015: Indianapolis Colts
http://deadspin.com/why-your-team-su...lts-1728020622

Deep inside Irsay’s soul, past the 80 shades of ruddy and the heady alchemy of six unauthorized prescription medications working their magic in his bloodstream, he probably wishes he had kept Bruce Arians.

By the way, here were Andrew Luck’s game stats against New England: 12-33, 126 yards, 0 TDs, 2 INTs. In six playoff games, Luck has thrown 12 picks. He’s the Andy Dalton of the later playoff rounds.

Thanks to the Colts, Pacers, Notre Dame, and IU, this state leads the country in “we do it differently here; we do it the right way” sports sanctimony. This is probably why the Colts ended up complaining about those deflated balls to begin with. Sure, they got a hole charred in their asses against New England, but they lost WITH HONOR. Living in Indiana means being a shitbag and holding your head high about it.

Indiana is a perpetual small-time dump where you go to lord your values over other people because you have nothing better to do with yourself. It is the most direct route from Chicago to the Deep South. There are parts of Southern Indiana that are more Kentucky than Kentucky is. There are Jesus billboards EVERYWHERE. As a city, Indianapolis consists of 10 nice blocks surrounded by an ocean of SHIT. It’s the city IU grads go to when they didn’t get good enough grades to land a job in Chicago. The best town in Indiana is Pawnee, which does not actually exist.

As for the fans, these are repossessed football fans, taken from college teams and basketball fanbases that have fallen on hard times. They are fat and ugly and, in many ways, Andrew Luck is their ideal avatar. I mean, look at this guy:

It starts awesome and just goes upward from there.

Thats good. Because you'll be hearing it any time anyone discusses the Patriots, Tom Brady, or Bill Belicheat until the end of time. It'll either be the tuck rule, Spygate, the Rams SB taping, or Ballghazi. Assuming the conversation can actually move past the 16-0* choke job and heroism of Eli Manning.

Ok. I just want you to know you're wrong. Edit: to clarify, the "quantum leap" you mention was from the hearings. It does not play in his ruling, which is all that matters.

http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/20...nt/p38/a238031

In view of the court's determination regarding the inadequacy of notice and discovery afforded to Brady, the court does not reach Brady's other claims, which include the following:

• An argument that Goodell upheld Brady’s suspension on appeal by improperly claiming that Brady “knew about, approved of, consented to, and provided inducements and rewards in support of” the game ball tampering scheme. Brady had protested that such a claim was not in the Wells report, and that Goodell should not have made the appeal ruling on grounds that were not found in the initial discipline.

If you click the link, the entire verdict is there. It only addresses Goodell overstepping his bounds, not Brady's innocence. This is fine; after all, most of this argument has been about whether or not Goodell had the authority to suspend someone over being "generally aware" and making up suspension lengths as he went along. This is something you have even addressed in the past, and most people whether they like the Patriots or not would agree with this. That is all that is really addressed in his ruling.

Now, you can say "BUT THIS ALL POINTS TO THE FACT HE WAS INNOCENT ALL ALONG! FUCKING CRYBABIES!", and that's totally fine if you want to do that. Congrats and all.

Simply put, that's not what the verdict does at all. I won't address this further as it's not worth my time: I already read the verdict, I'm good. I am now only interested in future appeals; this is why people say this is a huge blow to the NFL, as it will affect future appeals.

In news about a team with an actually receiving corp, DeVante Parker played tonight. If you had a fantasy draft and he wasn't drafted, you need to pick him up.

Spags is so great

[Marootsoobutsu]

See, I read every Spags post because dude makes me laugh harder than any professional comedian ever has. And then he goes and posts, y'know, intelligent, well-thought out comments like that, and it just impresses even more. Spags is my mancrush.
