Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David may have said too much about Tom Brady's time in Tampa, and Pro Football Talk's Mike Forio jumped on it.

If this grows legs do you think will do anything about it such as strip the Yucs of a pick in 2025?

If anything involves TB12, then most likely it was something against the rules. He doesn’t care about rules. Zero moral compass in that dude

He doesn't care about the rules because the NFL clearly doesn't apply them to him.

Nothing will come of this. We were likely tampering in 2020 also with Brady as the rumors were Brady was signing here if Brees retired.

There is no way Payton could have resisted at least one call.

Tough to prove. All this “evidence” basically tells us was that the Bucs had plans to pursue Brady.

You know ball.

I’ll correct you on one slight detail though, Brees was GOING to definitely retire. He decided to NOT retire once he learned we were going to be signing Brady to replace him.

Brady to New Orleans was a done deal, to the point where he was angry when the whole thing fell through once Drew came back.

Not so loud! doesnt need any more ideas.

Tamparing Bay?

Not so loud! doesnt need any more ideas.

You overrate him as someone capable of visionary, creative ideas or proposals that are trend-setting and move the game forward. Goodell is just a bitter, vindictative, sort of low-IQ, bullying power lawyer who thinks he's a wannabe GM but in reality, is just the public face for the NFL owners to represent them as they do their dirty work. The owners own him and I suspect, with his massively over-inflated ego over the years, they've had to remind him of that more then a few times to drag his arse back to Earth.

He doesn't care about the rules because the NFL clearly doesn't apply them to him.

Because all throughout his career, from Spygate, to Deflate Gate, the constant rumors of cheating, corporate subterfuge and deflection from Brady, Belichick, and Robert Kraft for nearly 20 years in the Patriots Dynasty, the NFL FO would always conveniently cover up or give NE easy, soft penalties or punishments for their scandals while they destroyed and carpet-bombed our budding team for "the good of the Shield", in Bountygate to fend off potentially ruinous lawsuits from families and relatives of CTE-RELATED former NFL veterans alleging the NFL FO and teams knew for decades about the extent, long-term physiological and psychological damage multiple concussions had on former NFL veterans from the late 60's-2000's.

Why should he feel vulnerable to any real consequences because NFL never even remotely tried to discipline him?
