The court finds that Brady had no notice that he could receive a four-game suspension for general awareness of ball deflation by others,'' the judge wrote.
Quote:
The written decision frees Brady to play in the Sept. 10 season opener against the
Pittsburgh Steelers. In Las Vegas, the Patriots immediately
moved from 3-point favorites to 6.5-point favorites in that Week 1 game, and the over/under total grew from 48.5 points to 51 at William Hill's Nevada sportsbook.
well, it looks like i will be out of the pool in the first week again. apparently it is ok to cheat, and it is ok to know about cheating and use it to your advantage, but it is not ok to punish someone for cheating or knowing about cheating unless you tell them you are going to punish them hard for cheating first.
so much for the whole 'integrity of the game' thing, the lawyers win again.

Hey Donkey. Wanna bet on some TSPTalk silver? If Patriots win, you pay me one TSPTalk silver round. If Steelers win, I pay you one TSPTalk silver round. Deal or no deal?

no deal. given the spread on the game, i don't think even money is a smart bet. what else you got to sweeten the pot?

Yeah Brady cried and cried until he found a judge that would agree with him. He's still a cheater but now there's a big target on his back. Gonna be fun to see old skirt in the dirt whining every time someone sacks him this year...

A vibrant spicy southern jambalaya of andouille, steamed clam and some root vegetable thrown in, tossed salad, and peach cobbler for dessert. Win or lose, you're doing the cooking. Deal?
