Also, Ray Rice's suspension was overturned, as was Adrian Peterson's.  So yeah, your knowledge of the NFL is really quite fragile.  And no, this isn't a defense, it's more about Goodell and their Lawyers inability to adhere to the CBA and Labor Law (which is why they retooled the domestic abuse and PED's penalties shortly after getting destroyed in court).  It's not about defending bountygate either, it's acknowledging the fact that the NFL abused it's authority.  This case was only a shining example of how stupid Goodell and his cronies are.  They had every opportunity to accept a 1 game settlement out of Brady, and they lost, because they're idiots and couldn't read the tea leaves.

As far as guilt? lol, most legal analysts who've viewed the Wells Report, the Wells Report in Context and the AEI Analysis see the NFL using adverse inferences wherever possible to come to a conclusion of 'more probable than not'.  To say nothing of how badly the appeals transcripts damaged Goodell's credibility, but I'm sure you haven't read that either.  It'd be tossed out of court without even a trial.   That really should tell you something, but it does require a measure of impartiality, which is clear you are not viewing this case through.

Yeah, I'm a Pats fan, but, I'm certainly not above admitting someone broke the rules...if in fact the evidence is there to support it.  The NFL's shit show, was evidence of nothing but their own incompetence.

So, any more claims I can demolish in a 3 second search on google? 

so you're lumping him in with Ray Rice, the saints, and AP?  Works for me!

So if you wanna live in your little bubble where you still believe these titles are legit then fine just don't act like one judge's decision overwrites the destruction of evidence Brady participated in

As I said before, this isn't about comparisons.  You claimed a lack of knowledge about any other player who'd taken a suspension this far.  I was immediately able to point out 4, w/in the past 2 years, which really doesn't make you a very good source for...any kind of information on, well, anything (Though, it does go to show how you operate in an actual debate, attempting to wordsmith your way around your own lack of knowledge).  This, of course, is only magnified by the fact you're still regurgitating the leagues talking points, that were trashed by the Wells Report (By Wells' own testimony, no less), and the Appeals transcript itself.  But, as I said before, it's clear you haven't read either of the aforementioned documents, and as such, your level of understanding about this situation is about what you'd expect.
