Tom Brady's four-game suspension isn't sitting well with his New England Patriots teammates. The NFL announced the suspension for his role in Deflategate late Monday afternoon and the reactions came quickly from his teammates. Some weren't family friendly enough to share in full.

Someday, the NFL will get this whole suspension thing right. Monday was not that day.

The Super Bowl-champion Patriots will be without their Canton-bound quarterback for a quarter of the 2015 regular season. The league thinks that's justifiable math for learning that Brady "was more probably than not" "generally aware" of footballs being underinflated in the AFC Championship game. As usual, with all the league's bans, it's way off. Here's how everyone else adds that up: If you're talking personal conduct, it's twice the initial suspension for Ray Rice. If you're talking substance abuse, that would be two Le'Veon Bells and four LeGarrette Blounts. In other words, the NFL still has no idea what it's doing with discipline in the name of preserving the ...

The Dolphins, the Bills, the Jets and the rest of the AFC might see a lot of opportunity knocking. But we all know the Patriots are still the favorites to slam every door shut. At the most, before an appeal, New England will be without Tom Brady for the first four games of the 2015 NFL regular season. The bad news for their division and conference foes is that it's hard to see the Patriots losing some (any?) ground without their quarterback.

He tore his ACL in the first quarter of the first game against the Chiefs and missed the remainder of the season. They were still able to go 11-5, partly because they had a well-prepared backup, Matt Cassel, but more for having Bill Belichick, the league's most adjustable (also best) coach. That record did tie them for the AFC East lead, but it also marked the last time the Patriots did...

Deflategate is clearly taking its toll on Patriots fans. Not only was quarterback Tom Brady suspended for the first four games of the 2015 season thanks to the madness that was Deflategate, the Patriots were docked two draft picks and $1 million. Now that the punishment has been handed out, one fan is hoping to pool some money together to help the team get back on its feet. MORE: Blame Patriots' past for suspension | No Brady? No problem | Patriots players are furious That fan has taken to GoFundMe to help raise money to pay the Patriots' fine. With only $95 raised in six hours, he has a long way to go. He's looking for the whole $1 million, too, even though he knows it's highly unlikely to happen. We obviously know we won't reach One Million Dollars, however we do believe the fine is bulls— and want to help anyway we can.  So whatever is donated will be donated to the New England Patriots in help with the fine! As we venture with this, we will do frequent updates ...
