The judge just let Roger know how inconsistent, absurd & stupid his disciplinary policies are. No 'breaking news' there, #shrug.

Well yeah, everyone agrees that Roger hasn't handled it well as usual. My point was that Brady made himself look as guilty as he possibly could. There wasn't 100% conclusive proof, but the circumstantial evidence was pretty obvious. Brady's behavior toward any attempt to get info out of him made it more obvious.

Was the crime worth 4 games? I never thought so. But he's getting nothing. We cooperated during the whole "bountygate" crap, and the supposed evidence were pieces of paper stating imaginary rewards for hurting players... None of those targeted players were actually hurt in the games. It was obvious rhetoric, and yet we lost our coach for the entire year, a couple players for half the season and lost draft picks.

That's my beef. We haven't learned anything new about Roger Goodell in this process. I want to know where the legal system was for the Saints.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
