Time to get Verizon FIOS. This dial-up thing is getting old...

That is a work of art in gif form. Good job, internet.
"Where do I go to get my reputation back?
"and I'm about to make life as stressful for those who libeled and slandered me as it has been for me for the past few months."

[just to clear, this is what I would say if I were Brady. This is not an actual quote from Brady]
Punch back twice as hard.
Punch back twice as hard.
Time to go 19-0!
Yup, punch back.
Now it's time to go after the draft picks.
Does this mean...
...he can burn that Dorian Gray picture?
NFL Appeal?
While I'm happy to hear this, and I believe it was the correct decision, I would expect the NFL to appeal. The decision opens a big can of worms concerning The Commissioner's arbitrary power to levy fines and suspensions. Accepting this ruling could make future NFL internal rulings very dicey.

The Commissioner's arbitrary
If the NFL is smart (chuckle), they will use the Judge's decision to re-evaluate the Commissioner's arbitrairy powers.
I agree roadman...
The NFL screwed up here on many fronts. The investigation was half ass, so the findings were going to be half ass. Then the punishment was severe for the half ass investigation/findings. Then you have an appeal of those half ass findings and the NFL rules on their own half ass findings, with a half ass appeal process.
They fined the Patriots and took away a draft pick and that was more than enough with the proof that they had. The Patriots should have done a better job looking after the footballs, and had more control over their equipment guys/locker room workers.
2 draft picks, wasn't it?
And actually, the Commissioner had no real evidence that balls were deliberately deflated below acceptable levels. And no one has ever demanded that the NFL explain all the early leaks that massively exaggerated the extent of the deflation problem (and minimized both their incredibly sloppy testing and the fact that the other team had one out of three balls under-inflated).
According to ESPN telecast,
According to ESPN telecast, they will appeal to the 2nd circuit court. But because of the overturn by a judge, appeals courts A) give weight to the lower court judges ruling and B) the NFL its now burdened with having to prove enough reason for reversal so they essentially become the defendant.
According to ESPN telecast
And we all know how reliable and accurate their "reporting" has been.
Thank God
And I hope after every one of his 105 TD passes this year he brings the ball over to the other sideline and asks if the coach would like to inpect it.
oh good
It's over.. can we bury the hashtag of #deflategate now.
Really tired of hearing about this big hoopla over nothing
Signed,
Someone who could give a rats ass about sports.
But could you care less?
I'm terribly sorry you sprained your neck turning your head so you are forced to watch sports all the time.
Thank you
Thank you for your useless comment. It means so much to me. Almost as much as sports does!
Brady gets the news
We go now to Richard Sherman ...

Goodell to announce new 4 game suspension
Roger Goodell just had his balls deflated this morning and Tom Brady is the culprit.
4 game suspension.
Boston be prepared for the
sports radio orgasm of the century. These bootlickers won't need viagra for at least a year.
My radio has these two really cool things
One of these really cool things is a "channel selector". The other is a "power switch". I know you have a sentimental attachment to that old Philco, old-timer, but you might invest in a new model with these modern technologies.
...and my computer has a keyboard where I can respond to an
amateur troll.
Try again
What is a troll?
You'll see him in
the mirror.
Inflation
They may still need Viagra for the balls.
Nice
It must be nice to be above the law.
Dumb
Please show me a law that relates to football inflation pressures. Go on, do.
Thak the Stars
My heart went out to Bob Kraft and Tom Brady. They suffered with the dignity of the children of Israel. They knew that the awful Goodell I, the hated pharoah of Football Inc. was an unjust ruler, that he was no ta noble jurist and saw nothing but the millions and minions of Brady and Kraft as too much and too many. Now Tom Brady is free to wander the fields of the lord's football, throwing footballs and in return receiving millions of dollars, that Kraft is free to rake in many more millions without the great burden of throwing said footballs, and the rest of us can take heart that the great legal jurist of the land, and the costs to the land and its people therewith, have pronounced from the Dignity and Truth of their holy secular office, that those who have no need, will forever have no need, will not suffer unjustly the shame of an under puffed football.
??????????????????????????????????
this is some next-level trolling right here.
Finally!
And, I'm not even a football fan. But, these charges have seemed trumped up from the very beginning, way back in January.
