NFL and Steelers respond to Patriots fans: "Roethlisberger didn't have a cell phone on the sideline"

I don't care.

Can't they simply confiscate his phone to confirm. ..you know, like that other guy

Damn some of you guys are hypocrtis!!

Damn straight. Bitter, over scrutinized, accused... We have been proven guilty in the publics eye, only because we were accused of something. Something that was never seen being done. Yet, there are questionable things being done by other teams that are being written off by a simple "We didn't do it". You'll probably have a change of heart when we see the next thing the Pats are accused of. IMO. I've had enough

Amazing how they come up with an answer to defend Ben within 48 hours... they looked at the video and believed the explanation, if life was only that simple for all of the NFL teams...

If they waited for 72 hours they could examine his phone records.. easy peazy.

Maybe he was "jamming" the headsets of the Ravens..

Agreed. That first crappy photo really looked like a phone, but all the photos since show that it almost certainly wasn't a phone. It's OK to hold other teams to the same standards of punishment the Pats receive, but let's not put the blinders on and prosecute when there likely isn't an infraction.

Ummm...

That is the standard of punishment the Pats receive.

A standard of evidence is far different from a standard of punishment.

This thread is kinda dumb. Some of you guys need to get a grip even if you are just "joking around" (dubious). If a fan from another team came here and saw this you'd look like a bunch of lunatics

No we wouldn't...

Show me Ben holding a cell phone, I see him holding something clearly flexible with laminate or clear plastic reflecting stadium light during a night game. (ps. this sounds like some sort of protector for play calls)

What is there to investigate?

Show me. Please.
What I want is for another team/player to be unjustly and nationally castigated, screwed and embarrassed. I want another fanbase to have to ensure undeserved scorn, hatred and humiliation. I want to see ESPN and the NFL Network knowingly and willingly f###, libel ands slander another team. I want another franchise to unjustly loses first and a fourth round draft picks and pay $1M.

Apparently the only wrist-band style in the NFL is the one Vick has because all anyone wants to do is compare that.

I'm not sure what Ben IS holding, but I'm sure that he ISN'T holding a cell phone and 24 hours later I can't believe people are begging for this non-cell phone to be investigated.

You sound like a fan of the Colts during deflategate where no matter how much was shoved in your face that nothing wrong was done you just can't fathom admitting it.

Why do you think I believe the NFL? Where did I say that? Where did I put faith in the NFL? Was it when I said we have no reason to believe them? Why do you think Ben should be investigated? There is video proof of him not using a cell phone during the questioned clip. What exactly is it that you want?

What I want is for

Three easy questions and answers:
1. Who is the owner of the Steelers? Rooney
2. Who actually run the League: Rooney and Mara
3 Why aren't the Steelers and Giants punished for obvious violations; Rooney and Mara
Case closed. Too bad Kraft doesn't have any real influence like them.

He was googling to see if defensive lines can shift.

So when it is not the Patriots it is minor, but if you asshats claim your not knowing the ideal gas law means the Patriots deflated the balls. Excuse us for wondering if what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

It is no big deal...I doubt it affected anything. Am I talking about "deflate-gate" or phone-gate"? First round pick, Fourth round pick, $1,000,000 and Ben is suspended 4 games.

If they had just come out and admit they cheated it wouldn't have been a big deal and we could move on, now they've made it a big deal.

What? No million dollar fine? No #1 draft pick?

All I know is JJ Watt would have turned over his phone wristband.

Well we should all be happy that you're not in a position of importance.

What happened to our team, twice, was atrocious, and wishing it on someone else doesn't make it OK that it happened to us, it just makes the league wrong, again.

Someone else getting ****ed by the media and league won't restore our image, so I'm guessing you just want others to suffer for the sake of suffering?

I agree with you, I don't think anything will be better for the Patriots or their fans if the NFL went on a witch hunt against another team. Even if Rape was holding a cell phone on the sideline I don't think it's a big deal.

I just think it would be nice to know why the NFL enjoys going after our team time and time again while showing no interest in doing the same to other teams

It's probably Goodell is power hungry and wants to prove that he's better than the team that defies the leagues attempts to create parity. And Kraft lets him for the most part.
