It's hilarious. If anyone was messing with the headsets it was the nfl.

I hear you, homie. I'm just in a really good mood after a really tough week and wanted to indulge a bit before bed over here on the East. Lately, the team is the only thing that makes me happy because things have been hard. I cling to what little joys I have right now. Sorry for the sob story. LOL

It's all good man. This whole thing is just frustrating me. I miss the old days when I could enjoy a win completely without some controversy full of bs being made up to be a huge deal.

So the Steelers radios worked during that 2 minute drill? Maybe they should turn them off.

the NFL controls the radio broadcasts.

how the hell are they going to blame the Pats?

The already are by simply ignoring to mention that fact that the nfl controls the broadcasts and every retweeting tomlin saying it happens here a lot.

Patriots do not control the headsets. The NFL does. I once had a woman from the concession stand in my headsets at Fed EX field. - Mills

That will be one quick investigation. LOL.

 

[The Gr8est]

Defending Superbowl champs open at home with a win. I should feel elated but I'm not. I'm just thinking that watching another football game right now is the last thing I want to do.

Bleep the NFL* for making me feel this way!

Salty Tomlin, he just joined the cry baby list. Hope they go 0-16

Nfl network finally reported the pats had the same problem. One of the guys goes "oh but Tomlin looked so frustrated about it!" Heath Evans replied "well yeah his team just got out-executed badly"

That headsets malfunctioned in a world-class NFL facility is ridiculous. But the defense-to-Gronk connection malfunctioned worse.

like this . he fails to mention the pats dont control the headsets

Embrace the Gates! We're in their heads.

Now every coach coming to NE is going to have to have a Radioghazi contingency which means less actual football preparation.

Trust me, I hear you. Unfortunately, you're going to hear it all season. I just don't see it stopping, especially as the Pats continue to win. The word is out that the Pats cheat all the time. ESPNFL has a strangle hold on sports media and they've positioned themselves as the mouthpiece for the NFL. We're all just going to have to deal with it, which won't be hard for me because I just ignore all media outside of NE sports now (and Felger and Mazz).

Tomlin is a ****.

So let me get this straight:

An appliance that is controlled by the NFL...

In a game with heavy weather...

Broadcasts inside Pats information to their opponent during that game...

And as a result, that means the Patriots are cheating...

And our entire sports media is if not explicitly agreeing, at least implying that it is indeed possible 'evidence' of the Pats cheating.


How freaking ludicrous is this? The logic of those that still declared the earth was flat even after Magellan completed his voyage 500 years ago made more sense.

Per postgame show:

NFL has a frequency coordinator for every stadium in the league.
They deal with all communication frequencies in the stadium.
Tonight, they knew something was wrong because one of them came busting into the Patriots radio booth. Radio network was vindicated.

I can't even watch the postgame highlights. I'm gonna watch Big Brother instead...

The NFL controls the equipment. Are you sure they control the frequencies as well? Because thats an important distinction.
