4. New England Patriots Deflategate Scandal
The league finally cracked down on one of the biggest issues in football and has decided to handout punishments. At the end of the investigation, Tom Brady has been suspended for 4 games while the reigning champs have to cough up $1 million dollars, a first round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft and a fourth round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. But let’s be real here, the real blame belongs to the equipment manager of the team who went along with the plan. A little bit of jealousy and hate gets inside his system and it’s cool to blackmail America’s favorite quarterback? Shame on him. What a nice Super Bowl token of appreciation being handed out by Commissioner Goodell. It’s guess it’s safe to say the Pats first couple of weeks of the season is bound to start off as flat as the footballs Teriffic Tom used against the Colts: DEAD!, HOLD UP….FLATLINE!!
