Did they even read the report?

Pats_AZ · May 8, 2015

so as I'm smoking a cigar and sipping on my scotch, I had a thought....did any of these talking heads actually read the WHOLE report? It seems to me like they are just kinda reading the "talking points", all the juicy stuff but not actually reading the entire thing. Again, to me it seems the ones that actually read the entire report come away like "what is this crap?" , feeling there is nothing incriminating, or at least feeling like the report has too much "opinion" to be credible. Maybe....just maybe...if these guys actually start reading the report in its entirety and start asking themselves objectively...."does this make sense?" They will start poo pooing the report. This could obviously be the scotch talking so don't beat me up too bad, but just a thought I had.

That goes for the rest of America...

The outrage/reaction surrounding the report + the report itself are irreconcilable. I have no idea what people are smoking. The report said absolutely NOTHING.

It is unlikely more than a few have read the report. Please remember that Camera-Placement-Gate media reporting contained ad nauseum repeated lies. Now remember that the lies were easily refuted with just a modicum of research/reading. Instead repetition of the lie on TV was all the reading and research needed to make it reality. So now you ask them to read 200+ pages???

We are a sound bite mentality country. For those that take the time to check into facts and read documents, they are asked to check back next week on whether their opinions will be needed. Just is what it is...

Happen to have an elderly loved one you'd like to employ a fellow Patriot fan to take care of?

No. You have guys like F&M spouting off and denying any contrary thought much like Wells did. ESPN and most of NFLN, CNN, FOXN, etc etc running without comprehending. They don't realize how stupid they look. Page 228 sums up everything, but by that point it's too late. The damage has already been done, and it was perfectly setup that way. Nothing was left to chance in this report. That is of course, their zeal and blindness to overlook facts and destroy the Patriots has been so stunningly obvious that it will/should be their downfall.

Wells should be disbarred and arrested. As well as Goodell. I'm serious.

Shannon Sharpe sure didn't read the report but that didn't stop him from opening is big mouth and spout out stuff that was wrong.

North Shore Pats Fan · May 9, 2015

No, which is why Wells, knowing human nature, buried the relevant, contextual information in the footnotes.

You are assuming Shannon Sharpe can read, probably a bad assumption.

I am convinced that Troy Aikman is genuinely insane.

Did the report DIRECTLY ACCUSE BRADY OF DOING SOMETHING?

How did Shannon "not too" Sharpe get a TV gig?

Show416 · May 9, 2015

In the report Jamsersky or however you spell it says to his fiancee 'tom was right. the balls were suppose to be at 13' and went in to say the refs made them 16. I have yet to hear a single person come to mention this in the media if Brady was this mastermind ball deflator and wanted them at 10. Why would he be fine with 13?

Joey007 · May 9, 2015

ESPN First Take People claimed they read every word of it. And Skip even more thoroughly to try and find holes in what it says. He couldnt find anything apparently.

Very unreliable source here talking about them lol, but they were ones who did claim they read everything.

LOL, it didn't directly accuse the equipment guys of doing something. It suggested things but there's no direct accusation with any substantive evidence (even good circumstantial) evidence of anything.

As for Brady, no, there was no accusation on Brady. Simply that if it were happening he must have known.

Reminds me of that guy who got blamed for the 92 Atlanta Olympics bombing. He was harassed so bad by the media he couldn't leave his house. Turns out he had nothing to do with the bombing and helped save people's lives but that didn't sell. They found a villan, and any skepticism or objectivity went out the window

part of me thinks the "deflator" title has to do with mcnally deflating the overinflated footballs like the ones in the jets game to a level that is within the rules. if this is true it's still wrong to tamper with the balls after inspection - however, this scenario would make me feel a lot better.
