I saw where Goodell ruled he is not even allowed to throw a football to any of the Patriot wide receivers at his house during the suspension. I personally think that is BS... these guys are employees, not indentured servants. What they do on their own time, and on their own property, as long as it does not break any laws, is their own business.
Neither did Favre, but 40 is 40 and as they say - father time is undefeated. He may come out and throw 35 TDs in 12 games. All I'm saying is he's at that age where no one should be surprised if he shows signs of decline.
I agree on the last part of your post though. I'd say it sounds personal at this point. Brady tried to take on Goodell, and Goodell just seems to be rubbing Brady's nose in it at this point. It's hard to feel sympathy for the Pats though. If any team bends the rules, it's them. I'm not real fond of Goodell either though.

Without Gronk, Brady wouldn't look nearly as good as he does lately. He doesn't have a ton of legit receivers outside of Edelman, and Edelman is having injury issues in camp so far. Never want to overlook the Patriots, but the whole "Brady is going to be angry and unbeatable" thing is fictional
imo.
Yup. Honestly, Gronk may be what's keeping Brady "young". Brady's deep ball fell off several years ago, but the middle of the field is always an option with Gronk there. Brady was very pedestrian when Gronk was out a couple seasons ago.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
