misdemeanor misdemeanor, but there is a patriots context. they have a rap sheet as an organization. and then there is the league context which is even more important. over the last couple of year you ve had bountygate with the saints with intention to injure opposing player, you ve had the bullying situation in miami you ve had all the domestic violence cases. you ve had the child abuse case involving adrian peterson. and in every case the league s judgment and the seeming randomness of its rulings has been called into question which has placed heat on the commissioner roger goodell. so he was determined to get this one right when it came to the glamour boy quarterback of the league and the are marquee franchise fran franchise. but placed in a vacuum, you would not suspend tom brady four games for this offense. i don t think so unless you want to say someone from the cleveland browns was says ss ss was suspended for you are
january when it became a national story. it s something that is sort of definitely geared towards tom brady and the patriots. they have won for so long. opposing teams were so eager to get them doing something that this is how they did it where overall this has been something that has never really no one has gone after any star player for this before. despite the daily news report there is a question of how hard the nfl might come down. here is what veteran sports caster had to say about it. i think if they go soft or perceived as going soft on the glamour boy of the league tom brady and super bowl champions there will be hell to pay. do you think the league is going to have to come down hard on tom brady? i think there is an interesting paradox. there is a sport that is profitable and impactful and popular. also the league has come under criticism for how it handled head injuries. i think now is a test where
from the nfl. in light of the attacks on the commissioner and the nfl for being in some cases too soft i think if they go soft or people think they are on the glamour boy of the league and on the super bowl champions, there will be hell to pay. i think he ll be sus spenlded for the first time the only game that the whole country watches that particular night when the super bowl champions have the honor of hosting the first time. i think he ll get at least a one-game suspension. jon stewart said what a lot of folks are thinking. if you think i wouldn t chastise you if you committed these acts while on my team if you think i wouldn t, that would be correct. well the wells report did clear the patriot s ownership and the head equipment manager.
