I'm not sure if this is tongue-in-cheek or not? This isn't a "you better not watch or I'll beat you up..." kind of post. I just thought it was interesting how many times we have "ESPN" "Mike and Mike" type threads and people saying "I don't like the NFL so I only buy Pats stuff" kinds of...
You know, I have to tell you, reading posts this offseason has been quite a trip. I've taken a step back from the NFL and it's been really good from a logic/rationality perspective. For those of us being critical of Kraft's lack of handling both of Goodell and Spygate, I'd like you to consider...
Yeah I hated Zolak's post about him being an American Hero for the same reason. The dude is a judge that deserves recognition for maintaining his integrity and doing his job well. He didn't do us a favor- he did the correct thing.
It's offensive people think he did something for us. It...
It's this all day long. He was already not fired for complete incompetence and inability to handle basic procedure. The only thing new here is that he's also biased, but it's mostly only Pats fans that think so. So nothing has really changed. I don't even think perception has... it's been...
They can't get those picks back on the basis of the decision. Berman didn't rule on whether wrongdoing was committed by someone within the organization or not. He basically just said Brady can't be punished if someone else did a naughty.
Since the team was fined on the basis of people within...
I read the whole thing. The following were my takeaways. Please note, I have no legal background, so if I've misunderstood something, please feel free to call me out. Just posting this for people that can't access the document:
Suspension is vacated. Used Bountygate and Peterson-Rice cases...
You know, I wish this were true. But the reality is people believe irrational things based on any number of different biases in their thinking. I, for example, believe the following:
1. Roger Goodell is unintelligent
2. Roger Goodell "hates" the Patriots
Given my two beliefs, which have a...
I'm already done. It went too far before this ever hit the courts. That fans are willing to tolerate this kind of nonsense from an allegedly professional sport is troublesome.
Gotta love Ben Volin. To paraphrase, "why would he do this?" Uhm... because he's a REAL, actual, journalist Ben and can do something besides Google. "But, but... websites are hard." Uhm... no.
God I wish I wasn't being subjected to Volin in the sidebar. I don't even follow him but I...
I've thought it was this since the start. He's an equipment guy- that joke is hilarious until someone thinks you deflate footballs illegally. Then suddenly it's incriminating. Even if it did meaning taking air out of balls too, that doesn't mean he was violating the rules. If he set balls up...
I'm not sure why this e-mail release has people thinking Bob is really going to war now. I said in another thread this is kind of WWE style tactics- it's probably good for the league overall in a weird way. It's not like he's taking them to court or challenging the loss of $ and/or picks. You...
I couldn't possibly agree with Bedard more. I'm absolutely stunned people can't see through this. This is a WWE caliber publicity stunt. They may as well have Hulk come out and tell the Undertaker he's coming for you.
Kraft: "Goodell, what're you gonna do brother?"
Please. He accepted a...
BS Not forgiven at all. Super convenient for him to say all this now that the other owners are appeased. He's talking out both sides of his mouth the exact darn same as he was before. Don't buy it. He'd do the same damn thing again in a heartbeat. Don't believe it? Remember he'd ALREADY...
Which was always how that was going to shake out. I'm sure all the chuckleheads that didn't see the writing on the wall are going to be blisteringly silent now that it's all played out. That said, I've not clicked on any NFL link, purchased any NFL product, nor watched any NFL broadcast since...
