The NFL came down hard on its biggest star and its championship team, telling Tom Brady and the Patriots that no one is allowed to mess with the rules of the game.
New Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall is admittedly a big Tom Brady fan, but he still believes that the Patriots' quarterback should be suspended for his role in "Deflategate."
The Pats have held the NFL by the privates for so long, and a robust dose of humility, if not humiliation, is in order.
Goodell needs to take action and suspend Brady and Belichick for four games each. As was the case with Payton, ignorance is no excuse, and Belichick needs to pay for what has been done.

A series of texts between two Patriots employees have been cited key evidence in the conclusion that the team likely deflated footballs — and that Tom Brady probably knew about it.
"Everything is being studied, everything is being considered," up to and including a yearlong ban, a league source told the Miami Herald's Armando Salguero.
An NFL investigation has found that New England Patriots employees likely deflated footballs and that quarterback Tom Brady was "at least generally aware" of the rules violations.
Tony Romo wants country fans to know that when he throws, his footballs are properly inflated.
The NFL is in the process of deciding if the Jets tampered with Darrelle Revis or if the Patriots are just having a problem digesting a nice helping of sour grapes.

President Barack Obama said until the Patriots used deflated footballs in the AFC championship game, he didn't realize each team prepares its own footballs and brings them to the game.

"If you're asking me, does everybody try to find every edge they possibly can to win, then yes. Absolutely," the Saints quarterback said Thursday on WFAN's "Boomer & Carton" show.
