Put up one of Brady with all his rings in Indy

I'm pretty sure we all know which empty finger should be upright in front of a smiling Brady...

Edit: I want Indy's garbage "wildcard contestant" banners in the background.

I wouldn't donate. Putting up billboards in Boston and Foxborough areas, where most people already support him anyway, is a waste of money.

Put some up in a place like LA where you can try changing minds of people who believe everything they see in the media.

the point is to put up so many billboards at the right time, that it gains media attention

If I had the choice the billboard would feature Goodell and Kensil and pose the question "WHY DOES OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ALLOW ORGANIZED CRIME TO FLOURISH UNCHECKED AND UNREGULATED?".

I like the idea, but I like this version better. This even gets the haters thinking. Well asking a Jets fan to think could be a reach, but you get the point.

Feed a homeless person instead of donating to this please.

I have my own responsibilities and liabilities. How about this, I'll donate to 2 billboards one will have job postings on it and the other will be for TB12

I would love to see a double picture, one side Goddell holding the Wells report, the other side FIFAs Sepp Blatter holding the corruption report made last year by Michael Garcia and then released with half the important stuff missing, assumed taken out by the people that ordered the report.
And then the statement or similar below..

Hey FBI, lets get our house in order first.

Have it displayed in time square all day

Who are we trying to convince exactly?

The more astute people (of any fanbase) realize that the NFL is f*cked and either disregard it entirely or see it as the trivial amusement it ultimately is. It's gone down that dark path of excessive greed and pandering to the lowest common denominator that the NBA took during the David Stern era.

The overgrown children (who sadly make up the majority of people who follow the NFL) have made it all too clear that they couldn't care less about facts or evidence or fundamental fairness. Brady and the Patriots have hurt their widdle feewings by beating their team and therefore must be punished.

This is the culture we live in. The problem goes much, much, much deeper than football.

The actual problem is we live in a culture dominated by irrationality and ignorance with such a narcissistic hypersensitivity to "hurt feelings" that pandering to hurt feelings is now an industry.

I don't think a few billboards anywhere is going to change all that.

I don't know what any of this has to do with "hurt feelings," but I do agree that a few billboards, especially in New England, aren't going to be of value to anyone but the guy getting paid for the billboard.

As I said in a post above, I'd be happy to chip in for full page ads in papers around the country, but I think that billboards in New England are preaching to the choir and billboards anywhere else would just get defaced.

*slow clap*

I think this is a dumb idea. But if I was going to do it, I would try to find out the route Goodell takes into work and put these ads on billboards on that route. A big FU to him.

I think it has everything to do with "hurt feelings."

Rival fans: The Patriots beat my favorite team. I feel really really bad. TV people say they cheated! I feel better.

Kensil: Belichick snubs my Jets for the Patriots and goes on to win 4 superbowls?!?!?! I'll show him!

Sports media: That lovable, Forrest Gump-like Manning is really the best QB of all time! Certainly better than that smug, pretty boy Brady. Whoops! Brady wins his 4th superbowl beating the team that destroyed Manning in the previous superbowl . . . well um, we're not a bunch of morons pushing a ridiculous narrative, it's those cheatin' Pats! Yeah! That's the ticket!

Goodell: "I maybe a moron born with a silver spoon in my mouth but, as a native New Yorker, I know one thing for certain: Boston teams are bad and must be punished! NY teams are good and must be protected! That's what all the NY papers and my friends in the NYFL office here tell me!"

IF someone wants to raise and spend some money on the PR side of this, then use the $$ to hire a social media person to work behind the scenes to get pro-Pats stuff going viral. That's how "big media" is manipulated now. Those producers and editors have staff that keep stats on what is being said on FB and Twitter, and then they respond to that with segments and articles that ride the back of the social media sentiment.

Being smart is rarely the equivalent of getting short term emotional satisfaction.

Plus, with the AEI/NYT piece out, the "big media buy" strategy is already well underway, possibly by the Brady/NFLPA legal team. We are the little people in all this, and social media is our primary weapon.

Another tactic would be to get a bunch of T-shirts made with "www.yourteamcheats.com" printed on them, for Pats fans to unveil when the national TV cameras turn on them at Pats games. Most viewers will think it is an attack on the Pats and dial it up on their browsers, only to find that their team is the one under attack.
