So, is an apology an acknowledgement of wrong doing? And if so, does admitting to wrong doing play any roll in the helping the NFL make their decision on a fine?
Interesting.

I am. I am working on my Seven Nation Army chant and how it might be heard from the nosebleeds. See, this time, I might actually be heard by someone (other than my wife and kids) when I yell at missed calls and bad reffing.
Of course it won't matter what I do or think (unless I somehow get a direct line to the football gods between now and February 3).
But if you think Roger Goodell is going to fine Brady for that cheap shot, well, you are a lot more optimistic than I am.
Bet giselle made him call. His kids saw it happen and it made mommy mad with daddy.LOL
Heard that this evening. I think it's deserved and hopefully the league will levy a fine. Why should offensive players be exempt from these types of things. Brady put his leg/foot up to protect himself from Reed, but he crossed the line when he kicked him. A clear act of intent.
It's not like Brady kicked any of us. I think if Reed is willing to accept the apology and let it go, perhaps we as fans should do the same. The league is going to go what the league is going to do.

Your Kung Fu is strong, grasshopper!
Ed basically says it was just one of those things. Brady slid and was trying to protect himself.
He said Brady isn't a dirty player and he respects him and his game.
Ed also said Brady reached out to him after the game and they talked by phone. Ed said it's good
man.
Meanwhile, the NFL investigates to see if a fine is warranted.
Case closed or almost closed.

been out of commission the last couple days but the apology is 100% admission of guilt. You dont apologize for something unless you thought it was wrong. Suh played it better by just flat out ignoring that even happened. So in this case, honesty should actually be punished. That is if the NFL is serious about protecting its players as whole and not just hypocritical and only about its offensive stars...
IMO, the fine should be given. IF your going to be all about player safety than go ahead and be that - consistently.
The nfl is investigating according the the link but we'll see. I disagree with
the Suh statement playing it better. Pleading the 5th amendment in court is
the same as admitting guilt. Keeping quiet is the same.
It takes a big man to apologize and a big one to accept.
I respect the apology. If Ed doesn't have a prob with it neither should we. He
put it to rest.
