*insert joke about fake twitter accounts and fake classes*

Also makes me wish offers were real not "verbal", "conditional" or anything else. You get an offer its real and in your hand.
ironically fake UNC has MUCH higher academic standards

# | OT: Review finds it "more probable than not" Pats intentionally deflated footballs I totally agree with the NFL's control over an employee, and their right to discipline. However, Roger Goodell overstepped by giving Brady a PED violation and 4 games. Minus the in-cooperation, this has been done before by both the Panthers and the Vikings !!!!!!

Even if the sanctions against the Patriots (which I believe are fair) are eliminated from the ruling, Roger unfairly used his powers and changed both the rules and precedent to alleviate his negative public opinion from Ray Rice by taking down a high profile player like Brady, even with his lack of solid evidence.
Tom should stop fighting. But can you really blame him? He has millions of dollars, a hot wife, time in the offseason, and a legacy that he might as well fight for.
now's the time to tell everyone don't make up a twitter for a d1 coach and hand out offers.
Oh he's gonna be putting a HURTIN on opposing players this season. I concur with the voice in the vid:
"WOO-HOO-HOO-HOO! WOO-HOO-HOO-HOO! WOO-HOO-HOO-HOO! WOO-HOO-HOO-HOO!!!
Nothing too spectacular, because it occurred in Chesterfield, but I'm at Kroger today at the self checkout wearing a VT hat, when a 5 or 6 year old girl in the next line (on the other side of the checkout kiosk) starts yelling out "Go Hokies!"
I was just glad that someone is out there raising them right.

# | OT: Review finds it "more probable than not" Pats intentionally deflated footballs Except all preseason as they remind us that Brady's not playing in September.
And then all of September when they remind us that Brady's back in week 5.
And then in week 5, ESPN will be proclaiming BRADY'S BACK, BITCHES!!!!
And then the rest of the season when they remind us that Brady missed four games, otherwise his totals would be higher.
And every single time, they're going to be using that stupid made up word.
Truly a land of never ending wonder. Moab's kinda cool, too. A great place to buy a T shirt, as well.
Totally agree. In order for them to "play him a lot", he has to be able to actually play a lot. Hard not to get excited about him, though. Even situationally, he'll be a force to recond with. If conditioning is a problem, he will recognize that, and if he is on an NFL track, which certainly seems likely, he will realize what he needs to do to make it happen, and he will have the resources, nutritionally, training and coaching-wise, to get that done. Looking forward to a highlight filled career from big Tim.
Suh graduated in 2009..
2009 D Line commits- 4* Jason Ankrah 11th ranked DE in class and now playing for Tennessee Titans. Thaddeus Randle 3* & Cole Pensick 3*
2010 D Line commits- 4* Chase Rome 21st ranked DT in class, 3* Donovan Vestal and 3* Jay Guy
2011 D Line commits- 4* Todd Peat 24th ranked DT in class, Kevin Williams 3* now at MSU ( won 6th year eligibilty war vs NCAA) Joseph Carter 3* JUCO transfer 33rd best JUCO recruit
If VT could pull 1 4* D-Linemen every year that would be fantastic.

# | OT: Review finds it "more probable than not" Pats intentionally deflated footballs The NFL has effectively said that, in their eyes, Tom Brady deflating a football to get a minor advantage is equally as evil to Greg Hardy violently attacking another human.
That's really not accurate. The NFL suspended Greg Hardy (with pay) for the remainder of a season and then an additional 10 games. In appeal that was reduced.
The NFL is definitely not making comments on what's "evil". The courts screwed the pooch there because Hardy basically paid off the victim to not testify, and everyone knows it. Nothing the NFL can do about that, nor should they interject themselves into the court system.
The fact that both were a 4 game suspension has absolutely zero reflection on what the NFL was actually trying to accomplish there. The union basically argued that the suspension was egregious because of a technicality (that being that hardy was ultimately not found guilty of a crime)
The NFL isn't suspending Brady for any perceived crime. He is being suspended for lying/being a party to cheating/lying about being a party to cheating.

# | OT: Review finds it "more probable than not" Pats intentionally deflated footballs This is the right thing for him to do.
It will certainly help avoid some embarrassing headlines mentioning him, balls, and Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

# | OT: Review finds it "more probable than not" Pats intentionally deflated footballs To me, Brady destroying his cell phone is like someone refusing the breathalyzer. You open yourself up to penalties when you don't comply with investigations.
The circumstantial evidence isn't proof positive, but it's pretty strong here.

# | OT: Review finds it "more probable than not" Pats intentionally deflated footballs Then I guess you won't watch any football.
I think the criminal justice system should handle the players with criminal histories and infractions, and the NFL should handle rule violations.
Sadly, both the NFL and college football have both types of violations.
He'll save everyone of us!

# | OT: Review finds it "more probable than not" Pats intentionally deflated footballs When has the NFL EVER kept anything confidential.
They managed to keep the fact that they had indeed seen the Ray Rice elevator video secret for quite a while. They can be fairly tight-lipped when it's their own butts in the fire.

# | OT: Review finds it "more probable than not" Pats intentionally deflated footballs The problem is the gauges were inaccurate. The balls could have been inflated to the proper (minimum) pressure according to the one gauge and be over a 1 psi low on the other gauge. The ref's didn't record what gauges were used on what balls.
Brady could also have destroyed his personal cell phone to keep the contents away from the NFL and it being leaked to the press. When has the NFL EVER kept anything confidential. There could have been embarrassing and or confidential information on his phone that had nothing to do with the damn footballs.
That said it is finally over, I guess he got tired of paying for lawyers.

# | OT: Review finds it "more probable than not" Pats intentionally deflated footballs however i think four games is a bit excessive
My (completely unfounded, purely speculative) theory is that even Goodell thought 4 games was excessive. I believe he expected the punishment to be reduced to a more reasonable two games or so when Brady appealed. After Brady and the NFLPA dug their heels in and refused to accept any suspension (if I'm remembering the saga correctly), the League was painted into a corner and had little choice but to stand their ground.

# | OT: Review finds it "more probable than not" Pats intentionally deflated footballs You do realize that the NFL said there was no actual evidence of tampering with the balls in Federal Court while under oath?
The two gauges the referee's used were off by more than 1 psi in accuracy. There was no record of which gauge was used before the game and at half. The one good thing out of the whole debacle is now there is a standard and records are actually kept.
I never realized that he actually got stuffed at the line of scrimmage in that play. What a tremendous effort.
