Hate? I really don’t care that Brady is being suspended. I do enjoy seeing your predictions being wrong. Reminds me of all those athletes who ‘guarantee’ a victory, lose and don’t say a thing. ---

> [@kidchameleon](#): > > Reminds me of all those athletes who ‘guarantee’ a victory, lose and don’t say a thing. I think it’s more like after the athlete loses the game he guaranteed he’d win, he then starts screaming into the microphone, insulting everyone around him, and loudly insists that he actually won the game that he just lost, and that anyone who points out that no, in fact he lost, is just a hater. ---

> [@ElvisL1ves](#): > > Keep on denying as long as you want, “Counselor”. 😉 From the outside looking in (in other words, I don’t care about Brady or the Patriots either way, other than the fact that the Broncos knocked Brady on his ass 20 times last time they played): Dude, let it go. Brady did it. Brady got busted. Brady is getting penalized. There isn’t a conspiracy. Brady did something dumb. Slee ---

The Second Circuit has denied Brady’s appeal. [So reports the AP.](http://pro32.ap.org/article/tom-bradys-deflategate-appeal-rejected-federal-court) His last shot is to ask the Supreme Court to overturn the 2nd circuit. The ones who won in all this is the lawyers, who got to turn a minor rules infraction into a million dollar industry. ---

It’s finally [over](http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/17083595/tom-brady-new-england-patriots-appeal-suspension-supreme-court). Suspension will not be appealed to the Supreme Court. There is a modicum of sanity left in the world. ---

Congratulations to Roger on successfully avoiding being forced to admit yet another blunder, no matter the cost in legal fees. No doubt he’s counting this as a win for the NFL. :rolleyes: ---

Those weren’t American tanks you saw driving to Baghdad. Those were glorious Iraqi tanks preparing to cast out the American invader and then conquer the entire world. ---
