FROM THE SUBLIME TO THE RIDICULOUS, PART 十七

SUBLIME:

Major Tom Grounded

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled 2-to-1 that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady must serve the four-game suspension given to him by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for his part in "Deflategate" and for lying to the Commissioner and destroying evidence. I think Brady should have been given at least a year just like New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton got for his part in "Bountygate".

However, at least he was slapped down for his arrogance of thinking he was bigger than the integrity of the game and four games is better than the nothing he thought he had won when a lower court judge had ruled in his favor saying Goodell had deprived Brady and his supermodel wife of "fundamental fairness".

Post Draft Analysis

Tramon Williams May Get Cut

Unlike the uninformed musings of one NFL Network analysis Mr. Mark Dulgerian (see Lombardi's Den 168) I hope to give you some observations that are accurate and informative.

First thing I saw was a throwaway comment made about the trade the Cleveland Browns made with the Miami Dolphins for veteran cornerback Jamar Taylor.

The story said "The Browns, though, need help at the position. Pro Bowler Joe Haden is coming off an injury-plagued season and veteran Tramon Williams had his ups and downs in 2015", so maybe another former Packer may be hitting the open market soon to join wide receiver Greg Jennings, who was let go by the Dolphins on March 5th and inside linebacker A. J. Hawk, who was let go by the Bengals on April 26th.
