Triumph said:

You answered AFTER Belichick made is safe to do SO.

Youre NOT fooling anyone like you know the rules to the NTH degree. Goodnight NOW.

I don't think you understand the nature of the man you are talking to. Neither safety nor convention has any bearing on the opinions held by such a man.

In regards the OTG, Galeb is right. Safety nor convention have any bearing on what he posts.

Just because Cowards such's yourself answer only "when it's safe" doesn't mean that the rest'f us lower ourselves to your pathetic Standards. But you have my Permission to imagine that it is so.

Permission? No, that's the way you roll.

You don't fool anyone, but do keep the charade up if you need to.

Thank you, Brother Grid. The God(s) of Choice have already blessed me. That will more than suffice.

Its not that I dont appreciate your effort, but the next time I will wait for Belichicks word on the matter instead of someone regurgitating his explanation.

I don't understand half these stupid leading with the helmet calls. Does the NFL realize that the head is attached very close to the shoulder?

You're supposed to hit them with the other shoulder.

It's not about what is right and proper. It is about appearances.

The moment I saw your post I knew who the writer was going to be so I checked it and sure enough it was the same clown who wrote the article saying Brady needs to admit guilt to save his reputation, then he went on Dennis and Callahan and Callahan set him up and caught him in a flat out lie. It's Chris Chase and he has a big time agenda against the Patriots.

Not surprisingly, he also wrote that Peyton using HGH is no big deal. For him, cheating is okay, depending on what uniform you wear.

Quite true, but that doesn't mean you have to hold on or not try to move to the side once out of bounds.

hightower left his feet at least 3 yards inbounds. hard to change direction while you're in mid-air.

here's the amendola hit on fleming.

Actually, he was right on the Brady run. I did not see it as a TD until Carey played it in slow-motion. Touchdown.

I think he was right in his assessment of what happened, but it wasn't clear enough to have any expectation of it being overturned. They would have needed a camera looking straight up out of the pylon for that one.

Are you saying you don't think Shazier intentionally hit him with the crown? Did you even watch it? Trying to hurt someone is unsportsman like conduct, and that is a personal foul.

I'm saying he tackled him. I'm saying he hit him as hard as he could. I'm saying he was playing football.

Hmm...I wonder how I managed to "regurgitate" Belichick's Answer, if you were still "waiting" for it?

And if your plan was to "wait for Belichick's word on the matter" then it was, well...kinda stupid to ask the question in the first place, don't you think? Especially if you're gonna thank the person who did you the kindness of answering it by launching into an insulting, snot-bubbling rage at'm.

But, hey: Good luck with...whatever that is.

Thanks for putting up that video. I take back what I said about not dragging him down. He did. While he may have left the ground while still in-bounds, he made first contact while the runner was well out of bounds, hung on, and dragged him to the ground. It is clear to me now why I thought at the time, and still do, that it should have been called a penalty. As for changing direction, no, he couldn't. However, he could easily have (a) not grabbed him or (b) let go.

Hightower did nothing wrong.

I was hoping to hear from knowledgeable pats fans on the matter.
