Lupica Again!

Florio, Wetzel, Jenkins, King and Lupica. Forget the locals. It's the national heavyweights that are needed to turn the tide.

Well, Lupica is the latest of the big names to come aboard, as he did last week. And now he has a second one in tomorrow's Sunday New York Daily News.

Well I've been saying our only hope is that a bunch of national writers decide they hate the league office more than they hate the Patriots.

The league is vulnerable and I hope everyone who possibly can will take pot shots at them.

Best part is him shi*ing on the local (not specifically) mediots who have been wailing away about cell phone this cell phone that. Anything, anything to paint the Pats in a bad light. I've noticed most of those locals have zero national writers on their show. Zero.

I wonder why that is.

I think the NFL is and a great way to hit them is to tie this article on ESPN being punished with a weak NFL schedule as punishment for criticisms of Goodell with why ESPN and Mort have not retracted or commented on 11 of 12. Nothing says corrept more than this intimidation and it is easy for the press to understand. NFL uses Mort to spread lies then holds Mort and ESPN hostage with threat of MNF duds.

"But now I hope that Brady does in federal court what he's done for one of the great careers in the history of American sports: I hope he wins."
Amen

I thought that article was awful

I never expected the tune to turn away from air pressure to process this quickly but it's enjoyable.

Why?

I hate all those articles that try to appease both `sides` of the issue with essentially an assumed Brady guilt

But I wish he'd acknowledged that when Brady was giving his half-hearted denials, he 't know didn't know what he was denying because the information was wrong.

That's the media for you. Even as they say "That 2 pounds story cemented the tale", they fail to apply that towards their own critical inner thinking.

It has nothing to do with hate - it has to do with realizing that the story here is a corrupt league at the heart of the most popular sport in the country. That's the big story and it's a bombshell if someone out there has the journalistic skills to break it.

If the NFL is forced to be transparent with the psi recordings in their new ball handling policy, they will have to admit that deflation occurs naturally. The media will have to tell the truth then.

Overall, a good article and I'm glad he wrote it, but he still writes as though Brady is probably guilty.

He writes that Brady should have said this at that first press conference,"My guys know I like the footballs at the lowest PSI possible. I'm always beating them up to keep them as close to the limit as possible. If they crossed the line or we crossed the line, that's on me."

Brady only beat them up when the balls were at 16 psi, not short of the being the closest to the limit as possible. And why should Brady take the blame if they crossed the line if he did nothing wrong? It's so stupid.

Sure, Brady could have handled himself better, but he was working off lies told by the NFL grossly exaggerating the loss of air pressure and Brady had no answer for it. Plus, he had all the reporters, due to the NFL's lies, assuming he was guilty and asking ridiculous questions like "What about the children?"

Even the best of these articles ripping the NFL, aside from Jenkins, Stradley, and Curran, are still asinine.

I think it is a step by step process. Kessler has attacked Goodell at his weakest point. Hopefully the abuse of process argument will win in court and Brady will play.

Lupica and others seemingly agree with Kessler on this point which is a good thing. Brady may win this battle and get the suspension dropped. After that who knows?

It will be on to the next step. Will Brady sue? Will the Pats sue? Will Roger and his cronies get fired. All that will be up in the air at that point.

Anyways I take the article as more of an attack on Roger, which is good, and less of a support for Brady thing.

He's not defending Brady at all. He thinks both sides are bad with goodell being worse. It's like Kerry vs Bush. Whoever you vote for, you're f-ed.
