Trying to reason with the ignorant and those who chose to stay uninformed is always a losing battle.
Dont forget the ever faithful smoking gun " If they are innocent, why did they fire the ball boys?".......and here we go. It's the next phase of the League Office attack. Now that it's becoming clear to even the most virulent hater, that nothing happened at the AFCCG. Goodell has shifted his attack to blame the Pats for being "uncooperative". It's weak, but something they can sell to people inclined to want the Pats to be guilty of something.
So lets look that what the plan is now. They will hit the Pats through their proxies, on these 3 issues.
a. Brady was willing to take a one game suspension - That acceptance is proof of some guilt.
b. The Pats and Brady were uncooperative and that's why they need to be punished
c. Kraft accepted the penalties - Why would he do that if the Pats weren't somehow guilty.
More and more we will see the NFLN and BSPN go with those tactics over the next 8 months while the Berman's judgement is appealed.
All the more reason to move on. I am DONE once TFB and BB retire. Let's root for another ring to close it out.
Fck him and his team, the ignorant douche bag. Hes probably one of the owners pushing goodell to this point.Apparently, the owner of the Houston Texans blames the lack of cooperation with Brady and the Pats for the reason why Deflategate blew out of proportions. That is why it led the nightly news on every network weeks before Ted Wells even started to investigate.
Maybe he suffered a concussion somewhere along the line.
That's not f.ucking true and I'm tired of seeing it parroted around. The NFL ownership isn't some collective hive mind.
McNair from the ESPN article:
"Is there anything conclusive there? No, you don't have any conclusive evidence,"
McNair added: "In the minds of somebody in that organization, they thought it was important. They thought it would give them a competitive advantage, and that's why they did it ... "
Those words speak for themselves.
