Why Tom Brady’s suspension may not put Jets atop AFC East

There won’t be any more spying (more probably than not), and there won’t be any more deflating (more probably than not), and there won’t be any Tom Brady for two games, at the very least, if not the four the NFL sanctioned Monday.

By no means does it mean the Patriots are dead, because coach Bill Belichick was 18-0 following Spygate until he ran into the Giants in the Super Bowl, and his teams historically get better through the course of a season, and he remains the best coach of this generation.

And by no means does it mean new Jets coach Todd Bowles should start talking about shaking hands with the President in the White House — fat chance — or mapping an itinerary for a Canyon of Heroes parade.
