EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) – The New York Giants have no firsthand knowledge about the extent of the hand injuries Pro Bowl defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul sustained in a July 4 fireworks accident in Florida. There was one big surprise – a yellow plane that circled overhead for several minutes towing a sign reading: “Cheaters Look Up!” promoting a Twitter account, @JetsFanMedia. “I’m going to tell you, no”, he said.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick declined to address the issue, saying the team is focused on getting ready for the start of the 2015 season. “It doesn’t make any difference what anybody did or didn’t do, whether they’re a 15-year veteran or whether this is their first season”.

To try and reconcile the record and fully cooperate with the investigation after I was disciplined in May, we turned over detailed pages of cell phone records and all of the emails that Mr. Wells requested.

As of right now, the attractive athlete can participate in preseason play and the team’s training camp, but his lovely behind will be benched until Week 6 of the regular season. The Patriots beat the Colts 45-7 on their way to winning the Super Bowl, the fourth NFL crown from Brady.

Brady didn’t talk to the media. He appealed in June, and on Tuesday commissioner Roger Goodell, who heard the appeal, upheld the suspension. “I don’t think anyone is”.

Despite submitting to hours of testimony over the past 6 months, it is disappointing that the Commissioner upheld my suspension based upon a standard that it was “probable” that I was “generally aware” of misconduct. “I’ll leave that to you guys and the experts”. He noted that Brady plays in Massachusetts, the union is headquartered in Washington and the NFL in New York, Kyle added that “the arbitration proceedings took place in New York and the award was issued in New York”. It’s a spotlight he’ll remain in until the Brady situation is resolved, one way or the other. Patriots players wore shorts, Tshirts and helmets – but no numbers. The judge also agreed to the request of both sides to decide the matter before the Patriots’ September 10 season opener, when Brady’s four-game ban is set to begin.

Brady is practicing today. They believed that, after reviewing the evidence against Brady, Goodell would reduce the suspension or possibly even eliminate it altogether.
