Gary Meyers of The New York Daily news has reported that the decision to suspend New England Patriot quarterback has been made and the only issue left is how long that suspension will last.

In the 96 years since the NFL came into existence, Brady will be the highest profile player ever suspended.
Estimates on the suspension range anywhere from two games to a full season. Brady’s agent Donald Yee added fuel to the fire yesterday, intimating that Brady would fight any discipline headed his way. Because of that the NFL is likely to give him the maximum penalty it sees fit.
Rumor: Tom Brady to sign multi-million dollar deal with Nerf.

The report, the fallout and the announcment of a pending suspension has sent shockwaves throughout the NFL. Cleveland Browns head coach Mike Pettine, no stranger to controversy and punishments from the NFL, didn’t mince words.
“I’ve always had a lot of respect for him,” Pettine told Mary Kay Cabot. “But I lose a lot of respect for guys who cheat.”
Lost total respect 4 Tom Brady. For great QB 2 try so hard to "cheat" and then lying to all should get a "major" suspension. #NFL integrity

Former Patriots Damien Woody and Tedy Bruschi got in a heated argument on ESPN over Brady’s guilt and the report. Woody believes that Brady is guilty, as does the NFL apparently. Bruschi, on the other hand, doesn’t believe Brady is guilty.

Needless to say, the internet has reacted appropriately to Bruschi’s man crush on Brady and refusal to see reality.
