NFL also determined "the Dolphins did not intentionally lose games during the 2019 season. Nor did anyone at the club, including Mr. Ross, instruct Coach Flores to do so. No witness contended otherwise."

Today's penalties are all about tampering with Tom Brady and Sean Payton.

What does this mean? How do you suspend an owner?

NFL ruled that the Dolphins had "impermissible communications with quarterback Tom Brady in 2019-20, while he was under contract to the New England Patriots. Those communications began as early as August 2019 and continued throughout the 2019 season and postseason."


So why is Brady not being punished in this?

Call it a wash for suspending him for 4 games based on faulty science

Inquiring minds want to know. Like, can he just not attend games? Banned from team events? What does this mean?

To be clear: There are no findings or discipline for Tom Brady or Sean Payton, per @NFLprguy. This matter is close for them

Wonder if Sean knew this was coming so he quit before Roger could suspend him again.

One of many independent studies that have come out in the last few years tearing the wells report to shreds for being phony science that worked to the result it was asked to get instead of coming up with their own

They didn’t even have a reliable control group to compare the patriots footballs too, as they never checked the colts balls and multiple pressure gauges they used to measure the balls were faulty or broken and done by officials who had no idea what they were doing.

This isn’t 2014 so I’m not going to go back and forth on this, I’ve done that plenty, the people who take that whole fiasco seriously are firmly in the minority these days

When MIT says your science is wrong, I'm gonna go ahead and side with them.

Add that into the fact the NFLs internal controls were utter dog shite and the entire thing was insanity.

Dolphins: "We will pay you $100,000 to lose games"

NFL: "Haha that wasn't serious"

Saints: "We will pay you $10,000 to play defense"

NFL: "Here are the harshest penalties in league history"

Losing a first is a big fricking deal. That blows for them. 3rd ain’t great either, but a first with their shitty team is probably a top 15 pick and franchise level talent.
