Excited by Absence of Tom Brady, Pats' Rivals Likely to Be Disappointed Again

At least, that's what one player on the New York Jets believes. There is an opening this fall that hasn't existed in years. A big one. He talks about it like a party is coming.

"With Tom gone those first four games," the player said, "they could go 2-2 or even 1-3. It's a good opportunity for us."

Oh really?

The Tom he was referring to was Tom Brady, of course. A recent court ruling means it's a virtual certainty that Brady will have to sit out the first four games as a result of the suspension he was given in the Deflategate incident.
