    Ray Ray can play, but yeah I agree. Unless of course Sio's hip has hurt his game. They did bring in a lot of LBers tho.

    Trent Richardson's bum ass is gone. 2 yards and a cloud of dust his whole career.

    Kenbrell Thompkins cut...straight numbers game. He can play, but it's Coop/Crab/Streater/Butler/Roberts/Holmes

    Griffin denies 'liking' post that ripped Redskins
    I just wanted to set the record straight on this one. I did not "like" that IG post ridiculing our team. I have not been social media active consistently for awhile now and am ultra-focused on working to get back on the field and trying to help this team. One of our interns who helps with Instagram liked the post. As soon as I was made aware of it, it was immediately unliked. That is not how I feel and I appreciate your understanding. #HTTR




    Now they takin it to IG? Haha Just cut RGIII. It's way past ridiculous at this point

    This was the NFL’s nightmare.

    After more than seven months, several millions of dollars and big talking from the league and commissioner Roger Goodell in the deflate-gate controversy, the first time someone independent looked at the case against Tom Brady it was thrown out.

    Judge Richard M. Berman ruled that Brady’s four-game suspension by the NFL will be vacated according to the Associated Press and other reports. Brady maintained his innocence even while the NFL tried to make its most popular player a scapegoat in a scandal the league let grow to outrageous proportions, but from the moment investigator Ted Wells’ report came out it was clear that there was no evidence against Brady. The NFL, for whatever reason, didn’t want to admit that and kept making Brady into a villain. An independent judge saw it for what it was worth.

    [Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football: Sign up and join a league todayl]

    And with that, Brady will play. The reigning Super Bowl MVP will be on the field for the season opener on Sept. 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Officially speaking, Brady is off the hook for whatever happened when the Patriots’ footballs were found to be under-inflated during the AFC championship game against the Indianapolis Colts. That’s great news for the Patriots. And — if you need one sentence to sum up how badly the league botched this entire thing — the fact that Brady will not miss any games is a horrible look for the league.

    The NFL under Goodell has been criticized for becoming quite a mess, especially when it comes to player discipline, and deflate-gate sums that up. As soon as the parties got in front of Berman, he chided the NFL, asking, “What is evidence of scheme or conspiracy that covers the January 18 game? I'm having trouble with that.” There never was any.

    The entire process didn’t stand up to much scrutiny. The investigation was never independent, which became clearer as the process went along. The NFL never did anything to correct false information leaked to the media, information that Patriots owner Robert Kraft said he believes came from the NFL itself, which might have showed their mind was made up from the beginning. The lack of real evidence in the report was somewhat stunning, based on Wells’ assertions and the NFL’s punishment. And the coup de grace of Goodell upholding at appeal what basically amounted to his own verdict really looked bad after Berman ruled against the NFL.

    Where does the NFL even go from here? Although it is said that Goodell has "universal" support among owners, some owners have to wonder how this entire debacle was allowed to happen. Its biggest star twisted in the wind all offseason, only to have a court tell everyone he was right all along. Goodell wants desperately to hold onto absolute power over the players, but in very high-profile cases like deflate-gate, Adrian Peterson, Ray Rice and the New Orleans Saints’ bounty scandal, he has been publicly overturned. The NFL doesn’t seem to be too adept at the punishment business. Perhaps it’s time for the league to re-think the process because nobody would say this is working too well.

    The whole issue began more than seven months ago, in the AFC championship game between the Patriots and Indianapolis Colts. The officials were tipped off by the Colts that the Patriots' balls seemed under-inflated, they were checked at halftime and they were found to be below the minimum allowed under NFL rules, which is 12.5 psi.

    That led to the very expensive, long and incomplete report from Wells, which didn't have any evidence of Brady's role in whatever happened, but the NFL used it to suspend Brady four games. The initial punishment had NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent's name on it, which led to Goodell ruling on Brady's appeal. With a long report, Goodell upheld the suspension. That led to both sides filing in federal court. The NFL asked the court in New York to confirm its decision and the NFLPA wanted it vacated.

    [Yahoo Daily Fantasy Football: Enter our $1 Million Week 1 contest]

    Berman wanted the sides to settle but that didn't happen, and it doesn't sound like it was ever close. According to the New York Daily News' Gary Myers, the NFL never offered a settlement deal but indicated it would cut Brady's suspension to three games if he admitted guilt, which means the NFL was never serious about settling. Maybe it should have been.

    Once there was no settlement, it was widely expected that whichever side lost would appeal, dragging out the controversy even further.
