Not surprising at all.
If the league had strong enough evidence then this would have been settled long ago even with Brady's appeal.

So you can break your company's rules that you agreed by contract to follow, can destroy evidence that shows you intentionally violated those rules and your contract, and you can expect no punishment due to protection from the courts?

What kind of ridiculous questions will be asked if he ends up doing well this season ?

Wow, surprised it as totally nullified, but probably the right call.
Unfortunate that it had to be overturned on a team that is a proven cheat while this idiot self absorbed commish destroyed a franchise for a couple years in bountygate, but nice to see Goodell get his a little, finally.

Why is it when something big happens that some people's first reaction is to say look at me, look at me. This isn't about you, talk about the news and how it relates to the NFL or fantasy football.
The odds in Vegas are certainly different on the Pats than what it was before to repeat and certainly win their division.

As utterly annoying as this whole thing has been, it helped me get Tom Brady as the QB10 in my draft. Thank you Roger.
Brady could be that fantasy difference maker for a lot of teams, especially if he plays in FU mode

Were the balls deflated a little and that's why you did so well?

I'm assuming you're talking about the NFL punishing brady when the rules said he wasn't allowed to, their refusal to share their evidence or allow the attorney who edited the Wells report to testify, and the court refusing to find them in contempt when overturning their ruling.

That you are fined $1 million (the most in NFL history) and have draft picks taken away.

This really calls spygate into question, where Goodell again ruled and then destroyed the evidence used to make the ruling. Pretty much exonerated the pats of ever having cheated now that we know the shameful depths the nfl front office went to to unfairly attack them.

Saw on twitter that the NFL has had decisions on Bountygate, Rice, Peterson, and now Brady overturned. Nice track record.
I'm not a Brady defender, just a Goodell hater.

Under the CBA, players have not been put on notice that if they cheat, they can/will be suspended. Under the CBA, players have not been put on notice that if they willfully conceal and destroy evidence that could be used in an investigation, they can/will be suspended. Bottom line is that Brady cheated and destroyed evidence, but can't be suspended for it because he wasn't put on notice beforehand. Some nice legal gymnastics there. The Patriot Way.

Yes because making a four year olds #### bleed is not nearly as reprensible as allegedly violating a rule less impactful than a chop block.

Give out suspensions based on your own documented policies, and nothing gets overturned. Make s%!t up and get slapped down for basic due process and fairness. Pretty simple, really.TDorBust said:

That's a very poor comparison and I'm assuming you're not a parent. Peterson beat his child with a stick and caused bleeding. That is SO MUCH worse than spanking. If he just spanked him it would have been a non issue.
Brady cheating is still up in the air and from what all the retired QBs have been saying it seems like almost all QBs do things like this. I'm not trying to defend Brady, in fact I really dislike him.

Everyone but doosh patriot Brady gobbler fans know this is a BS ruling, they always have excuses & explanations about why they cheat. No wonder everyone hates these #@#@#s.
Brady finished QB8 in my league last year. He's got Gronk to throw to and then a whole lot of good but not elite players. Some (Edelman, LaFell) who are now injured.
He's great value if you got him in a late round pick, but I don't see how instantly he goes into the top 5 QB conversation. I'd still rather have Romo, Ben, Brees, or Manning.

I really hope they've been preparing for Brady this whole time, because if not then they're the ones that really get screwed by all this.

The league is not asking for an injunction to prevent Brady from playing. He should be all systems go for the entire season, as the appeal most likely won't be heard until 2016.

From Week 5 on last year he was QB2. In his last 16 games played including the SB, he put up 4400/40. With almost the same cast of characters.

This depends on who you're drafting but I've enjoyed waiting longer and getting Tannehill. I think Tannehill finishes the season ahead of Brady.Been doing this all summerFantasysports1 said:

He might, but I've been getting Brady and Bradford consistently in the round 8-10 area, and fully expect one or both to finish in the QB6-7 area. Took them both just a couple of days ago in an MFL 50 at 8.10/9.03, and they were generally available much later just a couple of weeks ago.This depends on who you're drafting but I've enjoyed waiting longer and getting Tannehill.

I hadn't thought about that. If they have great success and win it again or if a team they play in the first four weeks misses the playoffs by one game, we will hear nothing but "THey shouldn't have missed th eplayoffs because Brady shouldn't have been playing and we would have won that game".
