Winston's old coach slams him.

49ers brag about the Kaep-Bush connection.

The optimism bug bites EJ Manuel. For some reason.

I love all the off-season player highs. It makes the crashes during the season that much more enjoyable.

Teams knew years ago about Brady using illegal balls.

Odell made the Madden cover. Let's see if the curse comes down on his head.

Kraft probably wishes he didn't "welcome the NFL investigation."

Jerry, just wtf?
"When you say the entire running game -- and that would be including our tight ends, including fullbacks, the entire game -- we're better. We're better," Jones said Wednesday at the team's annual golf outing.
...
Darren McFadden, Joseph Randle, Lance Dunbar and Ryan Williams currently make up the Cowboys' running back depth chart.

2 dudes who collect injuries like most people collect coins and 2 completely unproven dudes. Yeah, real winners right there.

Why the hell didn't they draft a RB. Just makes completely no sense. This draft was full of them, even the late rounds.

Brady's appeal.
"If Ted Wells and the NFL believe, as their public comments stated, that the evidence in their report is 'direct' and 'inculpatory,' then they should be confident enough to present their case before someone who is truly independent."

Says Brady's agent. Sucking New England's dick = independent.

New England sounds like Lance Armstrong except the public isn't on their side.

Bob Kraft buys off Jack Del Rio.

Hah.
So now you have a commissioner who lacks credibility hearing the appeal of a champion organization that lacks credibility. The league's independent investigator wrote 243 pages worth of incrimination to protect the integrity of its game, and the Patriots filed a lawyerly 19,600-word rebuttal to protect their integrity, and none of us still really understand empirically how much of an advantage was actually gained by breaking a random rule none of us knew was a rule. And the independent investigator then had to do a conference call to protect his independence and his 243 pages because nobody trusts anybody in this transaction. It's like watching the ending of "The Departed."

Are you shitting me, Bob Kraft?
I just get really worked up. To receive the harshest penalty in league history is just not fair. The anger and frustration with this process, to me, it wasn't fair. If we're giving all the power to the NFL and the office of the commissioner, this is something that can happen to all 32 teams. We need to have fair and balanced investigating and reporting. But in this report, every inference went against us ... inferences from ambiguous, circumstantial evidence all went against us. That's the thing that really bothers me.

Shove a football up your ass sideways.

Tannehill is the latest overpaid loser.

New PAT thoughts.

The 49ers get a little bit shittier. If they finish better than bottom of their div, it'll be semi-impressive.

If Tannehill is making THAT MUCH, were going to have to fork over a huge amount of money for Cam.

Newton may not be perfect, but he's above average, and an average NFL QB is still striking it rich.

Oh yeah, Cam and Russell were the ones to benefit most from this contract. Cam will get paid.. very well.

Just think what kind of contract Russell Wilson will get!!

Lets see.. a QB who has a less than .500 record vs. one that's been to two Super Bowls!!
WORLD CHAMPIONS!!

I'm waiting for him to get tired of Seattle's bullshit and go to the Texas Rangers.

Patriots accept punishment.

Assume Brady will still appeal.

One assumes a fuckload more evidence than was made public that Roger will never let see the light of day. Probably something that implicates way, way, way more people than just Brady. I get the feeling they had to nail him specifically someway, because, come the fuck on, if the football's doctored, the QB would know.

One ESPN personality, who will probably get fired soon, speculated that this move will result in Brady only getting a two game suspension.
