Cycling has the best cheating. Hands down. Other sports might try to step to the champ with their deflated balls and recorded practices, but NOTHING compares to having a motor in a bike that's supposed to be propelled by a person.

Looks like Brady needs to improve his deceit to keep up with the cyclists!!! Interesting that they use the Patriots as the benchmark for the dishonesty of all professional sports. Maybe he can put drone motors in the footballs? Or inflate them to the proper pressure with helium?

What a boring game, but the right outcome for my wishes.
Cam hurt himself more with his attitude during the National Anthem, his attitude during the game and failure to even try to recover his own fumble, and his hoodie and walking out of his news conference after the game. He should watch Peyton and learn how to be a leader, not just an outstanding athlete.......

How would losing Calvin Johnson change things with the Lions?
What Rick Said: They still have Stafford, right? He's a very good quarterback and we've got great quarterbacks in this division. And I don't know the situation with Calvin and what will transpire, but he is a great player. Just playing against him throughout his career, he's a future Hall-of-Famer and those guys are few and far between when they come through. Not only, just from looking from the outside in, he was a great player, but he was a great player with how he represented that organization off the field."
What Rick Meant: Detroit has managed to make football such a miserable experience that they had a once in a generation running back retire early, and will now probably have a once in a generation wide receiver retire early. Seriously, the Lions sucked before Megatron, they sucked with Megatron, so I imagine they'll suck without him.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Federal appeals court judges seemed likely to restore New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's four-game suspension for the scandal known as Deflategate after spending time Thursday shredding some of his union's favorite arguments for dismissal.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan gave a players union lawyer a tough time, with Circuit Judge Denny Chin even saying evidence of ball tampering was "compelling, if not overwhelming" and that there was evidence Brady encouraged it and supported it.

Appeals court: QB Tom Brady must serve 'Deflategate' penalty
NEW YORK (AP) -- New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady must serve a four-game "Deflategate" suspension imposed by the NFL, a federal appeals court ruled Monday, overturning a lower judge and siding with the league in a battle with the players union.
A three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled 2-to-1 that Commissioner Roger Goodell did not deprive Brady of "fundamental fairness" with his procedural rulings. The split decision may end the legal debate over the scandal that led to months of football fans arguing over air pressure and the reputation of one of the league's top teams.
It also fuels a fresh round of debate over what role, if any, the quarterback and top NFL star played in using underinflated footballs at the AFC championship game in January 2015. The Patriots won the contest over the Indianapolis Colts, 45-7, and then won the Super Bowl.

Interesting that they thought he would lose the appeal, so they structured his contract so he wouldn't lose hardly any money for the season.
Is that called collusion?

I wonder if this was what was planned all along when he appealed? Drag it out so Brady won't get hurt too bad because it was another team plan, not just a Brady plan?
