RLLD 4,230 Posted September 17, 2015 because of the Lie Report and the NFLie I see. I have to admit being impressed at the level the Pat's fans will go to in order to ignore the obvious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewbieJr 541 Posted September 17, 2015 You are right, they should sue in court that they were willfully misled into acquiesing. Given the fact it was based off of phony leaked reports, and no evidence whatsoever to substantiate anything it was downright fraudulent. I'm sure if Kraft had it to do over again he would have stood his ground. So why aren't they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted September 17, 2015 So why aren't they? You have ignored this for the entire time - the team has a completely different set of options that are severely limited vs. what Brady had available. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/09/04/appeal-by-patriots-likely-wouldnt-succeed/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I know the options are different. But don't tell me that there aren't any legal options if they are totally innocent and the league has chosen to take two draft picks away from them for no reason. I haven't even heard Kraft or Belichick come forward and say that, because of the judge's ruling in the Brady case, the lost draft picks are a sham. Nope. Not a word. I wonder why? lol No I don't. I know why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know why. Who took it to court? Not the Patriots, you idiot. The NFLPA took the case to court because they have that right as part of their CBA. Kraft and the Patriots do not have that right under the NFL by-laws, so the court would probably not even be inclined to even consider looking at whether it was poorly investigated or decided because they have no standing to change it. You really don't understand the law, so leave it to pretend lawyers like Worms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know why they aren't fighting it. And I don't even necessarily mean in the court of law. Not even in the media. They are quite happy giving up their two picks and million bucks. As long as they have Brady playing. They know they dodged a bullet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It isn't worth the try because it is a waste of money, it will be divisive to a multi-billion dollar industry, it will continue to distract from and harm their brand, and they have no chance to win. If the Pats were to take this to court, it would not help them in the media one bit. BTW - you completely passed over the fact that you were wrong AGAIN - in thinking that the Pats went to court.

RLLD 4,230 Posted September 17, 2015 So you think they (and the Pats) did nothing? I think that position varies, and has evolved based on the evidence. First there was absolute denial, then after facing an array of circumstantial but damning evidence suddenly it became a "so what, everyone does it" excuse, and then the punishment for cheating an lying was just to much.....which really means it was the right amount because then it was at the deterrent level.....so on and on, yes the Patriots have cheated, but their fans are just fine with that.

I get it, moron. Brady went to court. Under the guise that the NFLPA wanted him too. And you are dumb enough to not think it was purely a vanity move on Tommy's part. And you're completely passing over the fact that no one in the pats organization is complaining about having two draft picks and a million dollars taken from them. And you're also passing over the part that everyone besides Patriot fans are laughing at you for not seeing the reason why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can call me moron all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that you have had a boatload of incorrect statements throughout the thread. Even this statement is incorrect (Kraft complained pretty hard about the judgment that was based on lies). Brady did not file a lawsuit. The NFLPA did it. I could give a rat's ass what you or anyone else thinks in this case. As I stated early on, there is not one thing that will change the thinking of people like you and that is fine. The reality is that there are a ton of idiots out there that believe a lot of stupid stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mighty_thor 115 Posted September 17, 2015 Why were they suspended? According to Adam Schefter the NFL told the Patriots to suspend them. And after Roger Goodell denied that he told the Patriots to suspend them on the Mike and Mike radio show, Schefter said he was still positive the NFL ordered them to suspend them.

This is actually correct, not accustomed to actual fact being in a reply, are you a Patriots apologist? Posting facts would lead me to believe no. So the NFL approached the Patriots and asked them to take action on these employee's and the Patriots acquiesced, interesting. Seems as though through their own actions the Patriots at least had some agreement with regard to the behavior of the employees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
