I don't understand how the NFL punishes Brady alone. It literally looks like a witch hunt.

Especially since in the actual report they didn't even pronounce him guilty: just more than likely to have known about the balls being under/border-line-inflated.
Which apparently is worth a 4 game suspension, knowing about something and not telling. Weirdly though, no one else on the team knew about this. How about the people who actually physically deflated the balls? How about the quarterbacks coach? How about Belichick?
I think the league is targeting the 'weakest' link i.e. a player. But I think they may have picked the wrong player to mess with. Brady has a ton of money. And seems like a guy who doesn't back down.
 
I can't believe I'm saying this but through 2 preseason games I'm actually pretty excited to see what'll happen with the Titans this year.
 
Now that the preseason is over, I shall make some predictions.

- Sam Bradford will actually have a good season, but he will miss at least one game, and Chip Kelly being Chip Kelly, will start Tim Tebow. He will then proceed to win one game.
- Seattle will win the SB, beating the Colts.
- The Broncos finish 7-9
- Cleveland will have the first pick in the draft next year
- Adrian Peterson will run for 1900 yards, leading the Vikings to a 11-5 record.
- Despite getting Tom Brady back, the Patriots will end up with a 9-7 record and the Bills will win the division.
- JJ Watt will break the single season sack record. He will also catch 4 TD's
- Also in Texas, the Cowboys will trade for RG3.
- Jameis Winston will throw 20 interceptions, but win at least 8 games. On the other hand Marcus Mariota will end up as a bust.
- In a dramatic turn of events, the Raiders win 7 of their final 8 games and make the playoffs, but then lose to the Bills.
- Bills QB Tyrod Taylor will throw 26 TD's
- Seahawks rookie WR Tyler Lockett, will win The Rookie of the Year award.
- Marshawn Lynch will grab his crotch at the end of a long run and get suspended for one game. They will also fine him another 100k for refusing to speak to the media.
 
Some of these are bold predictions, Collin.

But I think we can all safely assume that indeed, Lynch will get fined/suspended for either grabbing his crotch and/or not speaking to the media.

P.S. I see RGIII as being a bust. I think he'll be released and some really desperate team will pick him up as a back-up and he'll be forgotten by next year.
 
How about them Pats eh? 28-21 for a season opener, Brady vindicated, and Goodell sitting at home or something sucking on a thumb and feeling sorry for himself.
 
I got off work a little late, so I only caught the second half. Both teams didn't seem to have that great of a pass defense.

EDIT: Probably should of kept up with the preseason to keep track of injuries + rookies to keep an eye out for. There's a lot of names to remember (between the coaches, the players, and the staff), so it's going to take me a few weeks to re-familiarize myself with every team
 
Well, it didn't come easy, but the Packers got a win! What a super exciting 2nd half that was! Rodgers definitely needs to start connecting more with his wide receivers though.
 
The Rams beat them last year too. They always play the Seahawks tough, it always comes down to the wire. Seattle will win tonight.
