By citing that as a reason for Brady's punishment, the league is trying to establish a precedent that they can indeed force it. The NFLPA will bring that up in court. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

Innocent? It was overturned on a procedural issue. The NFL will likely appeal the ruling. |

The whole NFL has known about the Pats' systemic cheating for years, but the culture is strong and nobody complains, except in private. The cracks are coming apart now though. Last night, Tomlin of the Steelers was actually willing to accuse the Pats of screwing with his coaches' headset. He's known about it for years, but everybody is just sick of the Pats' cheating now. The asterisk over the era will be in bold print, and that's a done deal. It's really a shame. I mean, even though Brady is a gutless, soulless, cheating coward, terrified of who he truly is behind his fame and ill-begotten respect, he is good looking. That should count for something. |

Tom Brady is terrific. A shining beacon of stoic courage and integrity surrounded by a crowd of big baby losers. Mike Tomlin is a big baby loser. Being a loser is just a natural consequence of playing the Patriots. Being a big baby is a choice. |

You'd think the Steelers would be better losers. They've certainly had enough practice. |

I'll never forget how Tomlin reacted after the Packers beat him in the 2010 superbowl. Losing a sudden death championship game is about the most emotionally difficult thing pro athletes or coaches face. Watching him make a point of stating that my team earned the win and that he won't countenance any other interpretation, was really impressive. It was important to him to say that. I've been a fan of his since. That's the guy who finally decided that he'd, on his own behalf and on the behalf of the rest of the NFL, finally break the silence about the sportsmanship cancer that is the New England Patriots, Bill Belichick, and Tom Brady. Lifetime bans would be too good for that lot. |

The NFL culture is all about manliness. Or actually it's all about money. People do keep quiet about little pussies like Belichick, who grew up the son of a coach and learned all there is to know about how to win, and then added some... mostly about bending rules and all that. Why do they keep quiet? Because of a code of honor? That's a joke. It's about the money. All of them are either thankful for the money they've earned, or hopeful to earn more of it. That's the code. Want proof? Watch the lawsuits from all the manly men about the concussions, after their careers are over. Tomlin is an actual man who has actual integrity, and you heard what he said. |

If he did, he'd worry less about his headsets and more about his porous defense. The Ravens will absolutely own his @ss in their division if he doesn't fix it. |

There is a fine line between integrity and big baby. Mr. Tomlin has crossed the line. |
