Nah.  Just some early training plus I will travel for 3 games.

Ah gotcha.  Well that's still pretty damn cool.

The PAT is officially being moved back to the 15.  2pt conversions will stay at the 2.

Bleh.

Lame.

Ah well at least being a Slurs fan I can be comforted by the fact I will not be seeing many PATs or 2pt conversions anyway.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

While Patriot super stars are so desperate to win they are cheating their asses off, Slurs players skip preseason practices for celebrity photo ops.

Nobody gives a shit. What a great franchise.

Oh looked at the Wells report over the big weekend.  Evidence vs. Brady is pretty weak.   The suspension is a bit much based on that.

There was evidence against Brady?  Do tell.  You are much better at reading these sorts of things than I.

Did you enjoy the whole reasoning for ignoring the ref's best recollection about which pump he used (contained in a footnote, as i recall) as much as I did?  That was a classic.

The hearsay statement about McNally, the jump in communications after the incident hit the press, his obsessive focus on the condition of the balls, the inference that the 2 locker room guys wouldn't be doing on this purely on their own initiative and Brady is the most probable mover of all candidates.

So, nothing.  That's what I got, as well.

Anthony Davis, the 49ers right tackle, retired at 25.

I don't know if the Niners are alienating guys to the point where they can't play football even for millions of dollars, or if they have a really good concussion-awareness program.

QuoteTom Brady Will Reportedly Sue the NFL If His Suspension Isn't Fully Overturned

Tom Brady, as you'll recall, was suspended for four games for his involvement in the Patriots' ball-deflation scandal — a decision he's appealing with the league. A ruling could come down this week, but in the meantime, a report says Brady and the NFLPA intend to sue the league if his suspension isn't overturned completely.

Here's Ryan Smith, a legal analyst for ABC and ESPN:

Quote#DeflateGate latest: NFLPA sources tells us if Tom Brady's appeal results in suspension for ANY games, they'll challenge in federal court

Albert Breer, a reporter for the NFL Network, says Brady met with the NFL players' union on Monday, and that his plan is to file the suit in either Massachusetts (where he's an icon) or Minnesota (a labor-friendly court).

Roger Goodell himself will decide whether to uphold, reduce, or throw out Brady's suspension, and while the threat of a suit could be an intimidation tactic, the NFLPA has used the courts in the past as a way to challenge what amounts to Goodell's absolute power over NFL business.

A lawsuit could make sense from a football perspective as well. As Deadspin explains, Brady can continue to play until the case is either heard or thrown out. The site points to a suit brought by suspended Minnesota Vikings players that took three years to wend its way through the courts. Considering Brady will be 38 when the 2015 season begins, the longer he can put off a potential suspension, the better.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
