I'll believe he's innocent when he turns over his phone. The NFL has software which allows them to cherry pick the data they get. It's what they used as part of the Ray Rice investigation. No phone, then no presumption of innocence.

The #Cowboys and Dez Bryant have an agreement in principle on a 5-year, $70M deal, per sources.

I'm fine with paying him that, he's worth that - but $45m in guaranteed $$ is pretty steep... Either way, Dallas couldn't afford to not do the deal - teams only stay so good for so long so they have to strike now if they want any chance of doing anything this season

Brady can go on the commissioner's list while the federal case is pending.

(or whatever the fuck that thing is called that greg hardy was on all of last year)

Is the reduction to 1 game official? Quick search didn't show any news about it. Just articles saying they would go to court if any games remained.

I don't understand how you could be so sure. Any credible scientific data has pointed out there isn't even evidence of deflation.

So what is the argument here? That there definitely were trainers doing something to balls and that despite them referencing Tom a bunch of times, he claims to not know about it.

That's all true right? So then, your case is that the specific balls in question weren't actually deflated that much?

They did deflate balls and Tom probably knew about it. That's my understanding. I'm open to being corrected.

I was quoting the redskin CB, in case you didn't click on that link.

While I'm not sure what choice they had, I feel like the Cowboys will soon be in a Detriot Lions type situation. Theirs was due to sucking so bad and the awful rookie payscale (which meant Stafford, Megatron, and Suh were all getting crazy contracts), however. The Cowboys have self imposed it.

I feel like they're basically treating this season as "must win" before a fire sale next year. Then again, the Cowboys are one of the better teams at manipulating the cap.

They may be saved when Romo retires and they can grab a rookie on the cheap, but that only works as long as the rookie is actually good.

That may save their cap but I don't see it helping their team much, no matter how much someone might hate Romo or the Cowboys.

Stephen has done a good job over the past 5 years wrangling the cap into a manageable standpoint so I don't fear the contract. They're going to get their money's worth either way, plus they're paying him in his prime. If it were his 3rd contract I'd be extremely wary but this is fine.

It's nice to see that Brady has been confirmed to be a cheater by the appeals process.

The difference between Dallas and Detroit is that people actually want to play in Dallas. It allows the Joneses to structure better deals.

What exactly is Brady hoping to accomplish appealing it in federal court? FFS if he had just owned up to it in the first place he would have gotten a 30k fine and no one would give a shit about it. Frankly, a one game suspension was an exceedingly generous reduction for not cooperating with the investigation. This isn't criminal law. This is an employee getting disciplined for not following the company guidelines. We already know he is a cheater. All this appeal does is confirm that he is also a whiney asshole, which I guess explains his appeal to the Boston fan base.

EDIT- Also, those deals will seem sane when Wilson gets his. Cuckmaster Wilson is about to become the second most overpaid QB, behind Cutler.

Yeah Wilson is certainly going to get paid way more than he really should. Seahawks still have to do it.

Oh, Marshawn.

At one point Lynch is delivered some chicken wings on the field and he stuffs a few extras in his socks. Yes, you read that right, for a few minutes this millionaire, Pro-Bowl running back was coaching football on a warm July afternoon with chicken wings in his socks, which he later removed and ate.
