.....and then there is college ball where entire seasons are voided because a player was ineligible or receieved payments for agents or boosters. They even had a 14 years voided in the case of Penn State and what went on there..
NFL is too big money to do any of that... Slap on the wrist coming....

If the Colts hadn't let Peyton go, they wouldn't have been able to pay Luck. It was an emotional and tough decision but it was the smart decision.
Peyton is just about finished now (might be finished) and Luck is just getting rolling.
I hated to see Peyton go too, but it had to be done.

I do like how it mentions "ideal gas law" and spells out how the game balls decreased from the levels measured prior to the game. It says that the game balls the measured 12.5psi prior to the game should have read between 11.32 and 11.52psi at halftime ... they of course read lower than that according to the report and they say there is only a slim chance that the balls fell to those readings without tampering.

Well, there you have it! Colts haters will still excuse Brady though. Probably within minutes from now on this very thread.

Brady is heading to court over this issue. I don't believe he's delusional; therefore, I believe he would not continue this fight unless he did nothing wrong.
Also worth pointing out that Colts' footballs saw similar deflation as those used by the Patriots in the AFCCG, though fewer went below the 12.5 psi minimum (yes, some Colts' balls were found to under the minimum allowed, yet noone seems to care).
It's easy to be fooled by headlines about Brady's "destroyed" phone. Here's his side of the issue, as he posted it on facebook. Remember, he's headed to court, so I don't think making false statements about evidence would be a smart thing to do: "I am very disappointed by the NFL’s decision to uphold the 4 game suspension against me. I did nothing wrong, and no one in the Patriots organization did either.
Despite submitting to hours of testimony over the past 6 months, it is disappointing that the Commissioner upheld my suspension based upon a standard that it was “probable” that I was “generally aware” of misconduct. The fact is that neither I, nor any equipment person, did anything of which we have been accused. He dismissed my hours of testimony and it is disappointing that he found it unreliable.
I also disagree with yesterdays narrative surrounding my cellphone. I replaced my broken Samsung phone with a new iPhone 6 AFTER my attorneys made it clear to the NFL that my actual phone device would not be subjected to investigation under ANY circumstances. As a member of a union, I was under no obligation to set a new precedent going forward, nor was I made aware at any time during Mr. Wells investigation, that failing to subject my cell phone to investigation would result in ANY discipline.
Most importantly, I have never written, texted, emailed to anybody at anytime, anything related to football air pressure before this issue was raised at the AFC Championship game in January. To suggest that I destroyed a phone to avoid giving the NFL information it requested is completely wrong.
To try and reconcile the record and fully cooperate with the investigation after I was disciplined in May, we turned over detailed pages of cell phone records and all of the emails that Mr. Wells requested. We even contacted the phone company to see if there was any possible way we could retrieve any/all of the actual text messages from my old phone. In short, we exhausted every possibility to give the NFL everything we could and offered to go thru the identity for every text and phone call during the relevant time. Regardless, the NFL knows that Mr. Wells already had ALL relevant communications with Patriots personnel that either Mr. Wells saw or that I was questioned about in my appeal hearing. There is no “smoking gun” and this controversy is manufactured to distract from the fact they have zero evidence of wrongdoing.
I authorized the NFLPA to make a settlement offer to the NFL so that we could avoid going to court and put this inconsequential issue behind us as we move forward into this season. The discipline was upheld without any counter offer. I respect the Commissioners authority, but he also has to respect the CBA and my rights as a private citizen. I will not allow my unfair discipline to become a precedent for other NFL players without a fight.
Lastly, I am overwhelmed and humbled by the support of family, friends and our fans who have supported me since the false accusations were made after the AFC Championship game. I look forward to the opportunity to resume playing with my teammates and winning more games for the New England Patriots."

Oldhoyt - this is the court of public opinion located in southern Indiana. There is no room for thought or possibilities. He did it. He is guilty. As a matter of fact he kicked a puppy on the way to the game that day.
His punishment should have included jail time and then he should have been deported.

Yep; I can't believe how blown out of proportion this has become.
