5. Make-Up Call Wasn’t Good Enough

Unfortunately, make-up calls happen in sports (I'm looking right at you, basketball). Although some people could argue that these punishments were a make-up call for what went down during Spygate, is said make-up call really good enough? You be the judge.

Does the NFL (aka Roger Goodell) ever get it right with suspensions? Tom Brady is basically being accused of cheating, and he only gets four games. Players who get caught smoking marijuana (last time I checked, that isn't cheating) get four games. Something seems a bit off about that, especially if Brady loses his appeal.
