Thank God that this judge did the right thing and threw out this bogus 4 game suspension!

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/04/sp...flategate.html

Roger Goodell should be fired as this whole witch hunt has made him look like a complete idiot. If he was actually smart and wanted to stick it to Brady, he would have proposed something like a $25,000 fine, and left it at that.

After totally botching the 2012 referree strike and not f'ing up this, he is a complete EMBARASSMENT to the NFL and should lose his job, pronto!

Doesn't bother me because this year AFC East Champs will be the Bills.

NFL botched it , but Brady knew about this and condoned it. Its called CHEATING. A one game, possibly two would have been fair. Nothing just says to the rest of the league...wanna cheat, go ahead... we have no power to do anything about it.

Im a Jets fan and despise Brady. Having said that this is why I watch more college and less NFL, the NFL is fixed and predectible.

Now in College we have the ACC and the Seminoles, how can you not like FSU, Seminole Chop!!!

I am not a fan of football but even I thought the punishment was way overboard given the evidence was minimal at best. Roger Goodell punishment was arbitrary and sent the wrong message in light of his other recent punishments given to players. In the his eyes it is fine to beat your wife/girlfriend/kids, but if you even know about a minor bit of possible cheating or even look like you know, you will be seriously punished. Sounds more like an ego decision than a one given out with reason. JMHO, Jay

And that's exactly why Goodell needs to be booted NOW! He has NO credibility what so ever now, and had very little before this fiasco.

So with Brady back who does Connecticut think will win the division now? New England, Miami, Buffalo, or Jets?
