I'd be fine with 3-4 games. I haven't seen a compelling argument to not suspend Brady. I think any rational person would agree that deflating the footballs probably didn't do much in the long run and that it's certainly not the reason the Pats smashed the Colts and are good year in and year out. But you can't just let guys fuck around with the equipment. Doesn't matter who it is. If you let someone break the rules and not punish them, why have rules?

The most common arguments against a suspension I've heard coming out of Boston are "but lots of teams cheat!" or "there was no hard evidence!" Brady/the Pats were dumb enough to get caught (again). As for the hard evidence, I still think if Brady really had nothing to do with it he'd have given up his texts to the investigation in about 5 seconds and wouldn't need his agent to fight his battles for him.

More and more places are saying Brady's definitely getting suspended but I won't believe it until I see it.
