  • I have to imagine they will. There are too many people who put too many chips on the table. Which has been the problem since the beginning, really. Whoever passed the fake numbers to Mort committed the league to everything that came after, whether they knew it or not.

    • I think an appeal would be a lost cause. Chances are that they'll re-define the offense to "not cooperating with the Wells investigation" and slap a different penalty on it.

        • Yea, you're right, they're appealing: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...m-brady-ruling

          But not because they believe Brady is guilty, but because they feel they can do whatever they want per the CBA.

          This is the only way to summarize all this:

          • Well I drafted Brady in one league but my second has its draft tonight. If only this had waited one more day! Argh.

              The appeal will come through during the playoffs. And given their lineup this season, it's pretty much guaranteed the Pats will make it.

              • After getting pretty severely smacked down by their hand-picked judge, I really don't think the NFL will be winning in the court of appeals.
                They may, however, get slapped around a bit more for wasting the court's time.

                • Ok, so will the bears get more a fewer wins than they had in the preseason?

                  • And as soon as Jennings was released by the bears, big surprise, Lovie signs him in Tampa.
                    We know how all the previous ex-bear signing have worked out for him.

                      Well, he did need somebody after C.J. Wilson blew off two of his fingers...

                      • This cut doesn't bother me at all. Jennings is too slow and short (5' 8") to succeed in man coverage.

                        Sure wish DA Bears still had Peanut Tillman, though.

                          More, barely.

                          • Bears fans are like Cubs fans, just with less awareness and acceptance of the situation.

                            • It looks like the Bear fans here are very aware about how bad they suck.

                              Or are you trying to say the Bears are going to be good, and we just don't know it?

                              Maybe we should be saying the same about Texas Fans. Since their teams have such better records then the Cubs. OH wait, they don't.

                              • I am not optimistic about this season at all
                                To us, it is the BEAST.
