Are You Tired Of Bradyflate?

The Federal judge who is going to be hearing the appeal case of Tom Brady's versus the NFL or Commissioner Roger Goddell has told both parties to mediate and come to a solution without taking up the courts time.

If the penalty is four games suspension and both sides are suppose to negotiate that tells me the judge would like to see the penalty cut right down the middle.  If I had a cake and you wanted some the right down the middle split would be half.  The judge did not say Brady was innocent and drop the charges so if both sides agree somewhere in the middle or two games is right down the middle.

This is a classic case of a mole hill being made into a mountain.  There is no wife beating, DUI or murder involved in this case.  The New England Patriots have become the Oakland Raiders under Al Davis.  Whether it is spy gate, taking the snow sweeper and cleaning off the field to kick a field goal to win a game the Patriots have stretched legal past the line and other NFL owners are letting Goddell deflect all the heat while the other owners hope the NFL smashes the Patriots into little pieces.  If they didn't want this done some owner by now would have said enough is enough.

Todd Gurley is having a good football camp at St Louis.  He is doing all the drills but to this point he has not had any contact and the Rams announced today that Gurley would not play in any preseason game.  They are being really careful  in their prized running back and don't want anything to happen to him until the real games start.

The 65 games of preseason football kicks off Sunday night in the Hall of Fame game.  I don't get too excited about preseason because the starters play little and most of the games are played by players not even going to be on the team  a month from now.  I don't even know who's in the game Sunday.

The University  of North Carolina is being punished through losing all kinds of recruits as they sit under this cloud  of what is going to be the NCAA ruling on more punishment if any handed to UNC.  North Carolina State seems to be the benefactor in basketball.  Mark Gottfried pulled in a four star basketball player this week the type Carolina would normally get.  During the early 90's  when NC State had the Valvano NCAA investigation that was about 25 years ago and just now they are beginning to recover from that damage done then by an investigation.
