At least Tom Brady was a FA in my fantasy league. Scooped him up immediately lol.
You seem to think NE is cruising to a SB title. In the immortal words of Lee Corso...

Welp all we can do now is hope that Brady’s buffet of PED’s lose their effectiveness starting this season.
Or that AB keeps doing AB things and he attacks Brady on the sideline and calls him a saltine.
Also, is there no suspension, from Big Rog aka The Guy Who Has It In For the Patriots, for AB who attempted to physically assault a GM while yelling racial slurs?
Or an investigation into tampering by the hoodie?
I’m gonna guess nahhhhh. What a joke.

Where did I say they would cruise?
I said their biggest weakness got filled for free.
They are better than they were last year.
That is all I have said.
They are a 13-3 to 14-2 team IMO.
Conduct detrimental to the team is a team suspension not a league one.
Also I know everyone is making jokes but Belichick didn’t make AB throw away 30 million dollars guaranteed to only get 9 million from the Patriots.
The dude is mental.
It’s just the Patriots are able to keep people in line because their best players take the hard coaching from the HC.

Haha I have no clue how you root for a bunch of crooks and frauds
Thing is the Patriots already have lessened the burden on Brady already.
They have a great run blocking OL and the deepest stable of RBs in the league.
They aren’t chucking it up a lot unless they face a team with a weak secondary.
I legit understand the frustration of Bills fans.
You guys are a good fan base and are just stuck in a tough spot during the Brady/Belichick era.
People who don’t pay attention don’t realize the Bills have a deep roster this year and if they weren’t in the AFC East could be a legit division champion.
I think the Bills go 10-6 this year.

The Bills have a chance this year for sure. If Allen shows himself to be the real deal we can compete for the division this year.
All I’m saying on this AB thing is that if you are right and he is truly “mental” then he will keep being mental even under the heavy hand of the Patriot way.
I have a funny feeling now that he got what he wanted all along that he’ll fly straight.

Didn’t he get claimed on waivers? I don’t see the collusion there. Other teams could have picked him up as well
Not a waiver claim. He was essentially a FA once the Raiders released him,

And the league should do something about it. But they won’t.
The league can’t do anything about it.
If you actually think the Patriots had anything to do with Brown throwing away 30 million dollars then you have Patriots Derangement Syndrome.

Did I say that? Maybe you have Patriots Guilty Conscience Syndrome.
The Raiders made a deal in good faith and it's clear that Brown never wanted to play for them. It was stupid of them to release him, but the league should have suspended him for the season. They absolutely have the power to do that.
In most fantasy leagues, a player like Brown would be on the "Can't Drop" list. And in leagues were no such list exists, the commissioner would be expected to block the move. It ruins the competitive balance of a fantasy league...or in this case the actual league.
The NFL is a joke and I'm glad I stopped watching.

I feel this way about the NBA
Can’t drop lists are to prevent collusion.
Brown was cut because he recorded a phone conservation with the HC and posted it on the internet.
The Raiders could have deactivated him but then they would have paid him 14 million dollars this year and he would have won.
Raiders got 30 million back in cap space and their GM showed the team he had stones.
I get people hating him ending up on New England if he signed with Dallas the backlash would be a less angry.

Yeah, I was off the NBA train for awhile, beginning around the time of the Donaghy allegations. I'm a casual viewer now.

I'd be saying this no matter who he signed with. It has nothing to do with your precious Pats.
I'll take the under on 13 wins. You're welcome to take the over. Even money for a hundo.
Why would I give you better odds than I can I get for the Patriots O/U odds in Vegas.
Their O/U is 11.
I mean if you gave some juice for 12.5 I would consider it but straight up for 13 is dumb.
Their schedule was rated the weakest in the NFL.
Bills Jets Dolphins x 2
Steelers
Browns
Cowboys
Giants
Chiefs
@ Washington
@ Philadelphia
@ Cincinnati
@ Baltimore
@ Houston
Only 1 game outside of the Eastern time zone.
5-1 in division games
4-1 in other home games
4-1 in other road games
Is how I see the schedule ending up. Now they could go 5-0 in the home games and 3-2 in the road games.

It's an embarrassment to the league, and he should be suspended for the year. No one should be allowed to profit from such outrageously selfish behavior. It's obvious he wanted NE all along and he manipulated the system to his personal advantage and to the detriment of the league. He's a "me me me" player in a league built on team play. It's hard to know who's more offensive, the rapacious owners or the multitude of diva players. I still like the games, but I'm tired of the drama, the millionaires screaming the billionaires are unfair.
