Patriots sources are steadfast—and their belief was conveyed to the league, according to a source—that Mike Kensil, the NFL’s VP of game operations, walked up to Patriots equipment manager Dave Schoenfeld on the sideline after halftime and said, “We weighed the balls. You are in big f—— trouble.” New England and Kraft thought this incident, and others, showed bias by the league and would be explored in the Wells report. But the Patriots’ theories (including another in which they believed the Colts deflated the intercepted ball) were tossed aside, with the report simply calling the sideline interaction a difference in recollection.

The discipline is ridiculous and has no legitimate basis. In my opinion, this outcome was pre-determined; there was no fairness in the Wells investigation whatsoever. There is no evidence that Tom directed footballs be set at pressures below the allowable limits. In fact, the evidence shows Tom clearly emphasized that footballs be set at pressures within the rules. Tom also cooperated with the investigation and answered every question presented to him. The Wells Report presents significant evidence, however, that the NFL lacks standards or protocols with respect to its handling of footballs prior to games; this is not the fault of Tom or the Patriots. The report also presents significant evidence the NFL participated with the Colts in some type of pre-AFC Championship Game planning regarding the footballs. This fact may raise serious questions about the integrity of the games we view on Sundays. We will appeal, and if the hearing officer is completely independent and neutral, I am very confident the Wells Report will be exposed as an incredibly frail exercise in fact-finding and logic. The NFL has a well-documented history of making poor disciplinary decisions that often are overturned when truly independent and neutral judges or arbitrators preside, and a former federal judge has found the commissioner has abused his discretion in the past, so this outcome does not surprise me. Sadly, today’s decision diminishes the NFL as it tells its fans, players and coaches that the games on the field don’t count as much as the games played on Park Avenue.

Welp, here it is – Four-game suspension for Brady, $1 million fine for the Pats and they lose not only next year’s first rounder but also a fourth round pick in 2017 because who doesn’t want to still be talking about this in two years?

It goes without saying this goes above and beyond what I thought even the worst case scenario was. Brady will probably get his suspension knocked down a game or two, especially if Les Moonves complains about not having Brady for CBS’ Pats-Cowboys game.

How much of a surprise is this all really? The NFL continues to make worse and worse decisions and this time around they decided to go all in on punishing the Patriots. 

Aside from the ridiculousness of the punishment and all the inconsistencies, what does this mean for the Patriots?

First, the question is can the Patriots beat the Steelers, Bills, Jags and Cowboys with Jimmy Garoppolo? Even if he only wins one of them it’s not an insurmountable hole. Let’s remember the Patriots always lose one or two stinkers in September anyway.

They lost Brady for the entire season in 2008 and it still came down to a tie breaker. So in answering the big question – does this hurt the 2015 Patriots’ chances at the Super Bowl – the answer is most probably no.

In the long term I see good and bad. Giving Garoppolo a chance now will certainly help his development. Especially against Rex Ryan in Buffalo, that will be a big challenge. But losing the first round draft pick again is certainly not a good thing.

The NFL does it again, should we really be surprised. The legend of the infamous Patriots only grows now. What a crazy, crazy trip.

In the last five years, New England has made 48 draft picks, and 24 of them have been college captains, including second-round pick Jordan Richards, fourth-rounders Trey Flowers and Shaq Mason and seventh-round selection Darryl Roberts from this year’s draft.
