Well this sounds about right, the two NFL teams carrying the biggest gripe with the New England Patriots want Tom Brady to punished the most.
Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti and Colts owner Jim Irsay are the two most vocal owners arguing against the NFL reducing Tom Brady’s four-game suspension, according to ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio.
“[By reducing the suspension] you’re angering some of the hard-core owners out there,” said Paolantonio. “I know who they are and I’m gonna name ‘em right now: Jim Irsay of the Colts. Steve Bisciotti of the Ravens and others in the AFC who believe the Patriots have gotten away with murder for years and have not been publicly punished properly.”
It’s not stunning that Irsay and Bisciotti are the ones holding the torches and pitchforks. On January 23, we showed the motivation and machinations the two teams had for sowing suspicion of a nefarious operation by the Patriots.
Speaking on San Diego’s “Mighty 1090” radio Friday, Paolantonio said that one of the sticking points for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell would like to keep the league out of court.
