By now you've heard that Roger Goodell and the NFL have upheld Tom Brady's four-game suspension. Reactions to the news are everywhere and Twitter is abuzz with joy, anger, and every emotion in-between. One player in particular was vocal about the announcement on Twitter -- a player who knows the Patriots very well: former Ravens WR Torrey Smith, who signed with the 49ers this offseason.

After the news broke, Smith took to Twitter to voice his opinion, going as far as to say "Well you can't say cheaters never win."

Here's a snippet of Smith's tweets, as he wondered why Verizon or AT&T can't recover texts from Brady's "destroyed" phone.

I still don't think it's the biggest deal in the world but it's just breaking the rules for no reason https://t.co/H6byctfr7Y
