If nothing was found, then that should be the end of it. You know damn well if they released the information the vultures would have swarmed al over it. They would take the smallest ant hill and make a volcanic mountain over it.
That's why not.
put a lock on this thread, we as patriot fans should follow the lead of our leader and coach, put this behind us and concentrate on the bengals, if the media types like fat pig king cant let it go thats his problem by posting it all your doing is adding fuel to the fire the story is over
For someone criticizing fans for wanting to let this go, why do you obsess over it? How do you actually claim to think that there is more to this story? How do you seem to know more about something than everyone else? Maybe you should join the cult of conspiracists that believe in a government/alien cover-up. In fact, maybe there was evidence of this on those tapes and Goodell is an alien and did it to protect the interests of the free universe!! In that case, you should be thankful!!AhHA! So again, I am not the ONLY one who thinks this way! Regardless of CONTENTS, it was certainly an oddball way to end things, and it will ALWAYS leave questions.
Wasn't PK LAUDED last week for his article stating video was a minor piece. Now that he questions the destruction, some Pats fans are again OFF his bandwagon. Don't you see how obvious your homerism goes??
Who's the guy that applauds BB and Kraft for NOT COMMENTING?? Are you serious??? They are the good guys because YOU THINK they had the power to tell the LEAGUE to launch an all out investigation?? HAHA. The reason they were silent is because that way their stories stay straight. Nothing to say, because it could not have possibly reflected good on the team. WTF would they speak in detail about any infraction??
Anyway, it's over, now, how many fantasy points is Brady going to score for me tonight??
King is about access. He sides with those who give it to him, and hates those who don't. The Patriots have cut him off. Cut him off entirely. None of them are speaking to him. He wants their "side" of the story. He's not getting it, and it's burning him up. That's why he's keeping the fire lit.
"What I think the league found was a small cache of tapes but a larger stack of notes explaining exactly what the tapes taught the team. That's what I
think, but we'll never know, will we?"
Well gosh, PK - what responsible journalism.
by the sound of it your leader is the media, just drop it and go away i can tell your life is miserableI'm not sure who you consider your leader, but if you mean Kraft, of course he wants us to forget about it, because we are his customers.
I don't personally think of people who entertain me to be my "leaders" however.

Because then everyone would have everyone else's signals, and that wouldn't make anyone happy.They could have simply released all the material. Why not?
Hey Man, all I know is you guys think I'm nuts, but PK, EASTERBROOK, SCOOP, Sports Talk Radio guys, and a FEW posters here are in my same corner. How's the Kool Aid??For someone criticizing fans for wanting to let this go, why do you obsess over it? How do you actually claim to think that there is more to this story?

I've long thought Peter King was a d-bag, and his argument here is a stupid one.
Without even knowing what the Patriots sent to the league office and what the league office destroyed, it's hard to know what review the league office could possibly have made. How about some information about what was destroyed? Was it 30 minutes of tape and 5 pages of notes? 100 hours of tape and 500 pages of notes?
Part of the problem I have is that whatever it was was destroyed so quickly. I think the commish just wanted to put a lid on the whole thing, and I think he blew it.
The very fact that people like Peter King would say what he said is something that we, as Patriots fans, would want to have cleared up. We can't blame other people for having these perceptions.
I do get pissed at people who act as though stealing signs was in itself "cheating" - because it's not cheating to steal signs. I don't even like it when the entire affair is referred to as a "cheating scandal" because it wasn't about "cheating" (as I see it). It was an infraction of the rules, but it's no more cheating than offensive holding is "cheating".
This is the height of stupidity. The league said they found nothing further.
What are they supposed to do? Give out daily press releases saying that for 30 straight days to keep up with the conspiracy theorists?
Let's see...do they release all teh drug tests when a player is caught?? Do they actually even let the media see the evidence?? Well why not?? seems like everyone wishes to know selectively...They could have simply released all the material. Why not?
Absoluetly right...and it's funny how King will not at all inquire into OTHER modes of cheating liek Sando has done.but keeps opushing teh same BS...it is all about access and information and NOT knowledge or understanding..PK is a big A**hole.. and I wish Holley would have the guts to call him on some of his nonsense....You're right Andy. But this is not about the substance of the scandal. It's about punishing the Patriots, who refuse to play the media's game. What they want is a Patriots team and organization that is humbled before the might of the media, and nothing short of a compete capitulation is acceptable.
The poster who mentioned access has it right. Without access, Peter King is just another hack, riding NJ transit to a dead end job. He's not in any way football smart - and after a gazillion years in a sports writers job, you would think some would rub off. If you listen to anything he says that is at all interesting (relating to football), it is always something related to some football player or coach he talked to. Take that away, and all you have is some mildly amusing (but ultimately tedious) anecdotes about coffee and traveling. Zzzzz
So if the Patriots have cut off access (to perhaps the next Superbowl team), that is deadly to people like King. So he is using the only leverage left to him - keep writing negative things till BB capitulates.
If Tom Jackson is any measure, I think he has a long wait.
