Considering it gave them an edge in a division title match a 4 match suspension is a slap on the wrist. It's cheating so is using PED's. Not much difference between the two in terms of getting an edge over your opponent.

Yep, pretty blatant cheating. They're lucky that's all they got.

I don't follow the NFL or know much about it, but to lose two draft picks in the following two years as well, two employees suspended without pay... Seems a tough penalty to me.

For the team it is, for the player who was well aware of what was going on is a pretty weak suspension.

They were trying to justify it by saying it's only a 16 game season on the radio yesterday Idont know how they knew yesterday, but they definatly mentioned it then, maybe they were speculating about the penalty?

I didnt give them any edge in the end. In fact when they were using the deflated balls the game was close. In the 2nd half when normal balls were used they smashed the colts.

Its interesting to me that there was no solid proof that Brady knew but they suspended him anyway. Quite a precedence there

Does that even matter? Just because it didn't benefit them doesn't mean they weren't cheating.

Tom Brady has to be the GOAT of all GOATs doesn't he? 7 Super Bowl wins from 10 appearances !! Absolutely incredible. Is there a better sports man or woman in any sport??

The man is 43 and looks like he could go another 5 years comfortably.

Congrats to Tampa Bay for their doggedness in drafting him away from New England !! They just bought themselves a Super Bowl !!

Tampa Bay embarrassed the Chiefs today. Their defence was just off the charts and then Brady did GOAT things, doing what was required when it counted.

Many loathe him, but none can disagree that the guy is a winner.

How important is the role of quarterback in the American Football game? Perhaps as important than that of the coach

Re: Tom Brady suspended for 4 matches, Patriots fined and lose draft picks

Tampa Bay have done pretty well for themselves. Gone from missing the playoffs to winning the Superbowl after recruiting Brady, Gronkowski and Brown.
