Been watching the spring NCAA games. Penn State has a really tough schedule this season compared to the last few. Glad to see the old Penn State - Pitt rivalry renewed. The PSU WR’s look good, but they better utilize the TE’s more than last year. And I hope they can get a pass rush this year. Local RB Saquon Barkley looks to be outstanding.
You're watching football?
You give up on The Phills already?
It's always football season!!!At 6 – 8 the Phillies are doing better than expected. I have been watching to see how Franco does, as I’ve been a fan of his from going to the Iron Pigs games. Lately been watching more of my NL West team... the Dodgers. At least there lies some hope.
I see where the Browns traded their #2 overall pick to the Eagles for 5 picks in the next 2 seasons. The article that I read had reader comments and one of the comments was:
Can’t believe I’m saying this, but good move by the Browns to put themselves in a position to draft 3 quarterbacks in the next 2 years

Brady suspended four games for not taking the trash out. Giselle wins hard fought battle in superior court.

Do pre-season games count?
[Edit: I mean do they count for the 4 game suspension games so Brady would start back in the first game of the regular season?]

Not toward Brady's suspension, no, but they'll definitely count for his back-up getting crucial playing time.
I have a special on Pats' crying towels just for you Ms. Mod.......
Actually, I think it could be a good thing. The backup quarterback (assume it's Jimmy Garoppolo) needs experience playing. If Brady got injured, he wouldn't have to step in quite as cold as he would with some field time. It's been something I've thought was lacking with the Patriots line-up as Brady has been getting hit a lot and even as fit as he is, it's got to be taking a toll.Not toward Brady's suspension, no, but they'll definitely count for his back-up getting crucial playing time.

I saw an article that said Brady signed a 2 year extension in the off season and restructured his salary so that could save money in case suspended. Smart move.
Brady signed a two-year contract extension during the offseason that dropped his 2016 salary from $9 million to $1 million. That could save Brady almost $2 million in lost salary during a four-game suspension.

Brady will probably petition for a re-hearing in front of the same panel, and if he loses again to the entire 2nd Circuit Court, and finally appeal it to the U.S. Supreme Court. Drag it out until after he retires, I figure.
Jimmy's supposed to be pretty good, so it's a good thing Bill B. held onto him and didn't trade him
The NFL might want those crying towels......two of the Pats' first four (assuming Brady is gone for the first four) are in Prime Time....LOL
This could have been avoided if the NFL players had a union.
Interesting how the NFL Players Association gave Roger Goodell all that power through their collective bargaining agreements, and when he uses it, they cry foul. Now the NFLPA wants Goodell go give up his disciplinary powers and turn them over to an arbitrator. Goodell probably wouldn’t mind doing this, but he’s not about to give away his biggest bargaining chip ahead of the next round of collective bargaining talks.
I think the NFL players have the worst union in the history of unions.
Thankfully. Otherwise it would probably be too expensive for anyone to go to a game, our cable bills would jump an additional $5 a month, and it would end up being turned into a flag-football sport.
Think what football will be like if the NFLPA isn't afraid of the owners anymore, and the need to keep the players from being injured in this violent sport? The game wouldn't be worth watching anymore.It almost is with the refs they have now...
