This would be a terrible concession for the player's association and I think that "league sources" is probably the same guy who gave Mortenson all of his accurate info so I don't think so.
There may be a couple that question his handling of this situation but there are almost certainly more than a few who are egging him on because that's the only hope they have that their mediocre organizations can somehow become competitive.
Let's face it, from the very beginning this was...
The league has no right to his phone so why wouldn't he destroy it? I'm told it's nearly impossible to wipe a phone clean so if I thought somebody would have my phone without my approval I'd do the same thing. I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't counseled to do something like that as it would...
Good for him, he's been a true Patriot for a long time. I'm not surprised because the lack of any news about him resigning with us or going elsewhere indicated that he might not actually be looking to play next year. Thanks Dan, enjoy your your future.
Where does Volin come up with this stuff? And of course Donaldson thinks that a 2 game suspension is fine. Both of these punishments would be for an action that never even occurred so I wonder what would happen if their respective bosses arbitrarily suspended them or docked them a month's pay...
The whole reason this was blown into the massive crapfest it became was to cover up the fact that there were several NFL officials who were more than willing to allow what they thought was a rigged game to be played for the sole purpose of embarrassing the Patriots. Imagine, for a minute, if the...
I don't want to take anything away from Curran, I think he's great but....what I don't get is that every column that Tom has written merely states the obvious and yet the rest of the sporting world has gone through intellectual contortions to deny the obvious. A few writers get it and probably...
Exactly, it's not fun anymore. I have tix for this year and may not use any of them and after this year somebody else can have my seats. I've been here for a while but don't post much, I've been coming to games since the mid 70's and had season tickets for almost 20 years (didn't really need...
The last few months have been a roller coaster but when things seemed to be going against us we had Brady and Kraft showing resolve and determination to protect the team from the onslaught of hate. In my view, Kraft has abandoned us. I wish he had done it in March, it might have saved me a lot...
I guess the other owners had an intervention for the wayward Mr. Robert Kraft. How he thinks this helps is beyond me as I think he has grossly underestimated the passion that has kept Patriots fans going for so long. I don't think he understands that this is a tacit agreement that everything...
I think the "sting" is the basis for this whole nightmare. Had the game been really close and it came out that league officials suspected the Patriots had a competitive advantage but did nothing about it because in their mini-brains it was more important to catch the Pats doing something wrong...
Thanks for this! This sums up why Patriots fans can justifiably remain confident that we did nothing wrong. This isn't something that came up spontaneously but actually seems to have been coordinated by at least several officials well in advance of the AFCCG. It was so important that these...
I think this is the most likely way that Kraft handles it. Goodell is such a disaster that it's probably only weeks before he screws something else up. He seems incapable of making good decisions and has already dug a pretty deep hole for himself and despite what the other owners may be saying...
I guess NFLN must have hired some temp talking heads for their crowning achievement coverage of "The Day The Pats Went Down" and Baldinger brought the logic and screwed up this 6 minutes. Actually Baldinger did a fantastic job, it could have been me sitting in that seat (except for the part...
Short term there'll probably minimal loss of spending by New England fans that the league can surely absorb. Long term the NFL is like so many other enterprises that just became too big for their own good. Football is no longer fun, it's being played on Park Avenue and the actual game is...
I agree, I won't attend the opener if the current situation is unchanged, no one else will get my tickets either as I hate the Steelers and their fans, Actually as of this moment I hate 31 teams and their fans. Maybe someone who is more creative than me can organize a Season Ticket Member protest.
I would bet that Florio would go berserk if anyone suggested he hand over his phone so that some player's lawyer could scroll through to see who a source for a story might be. This whole idea that people are just supposed to hand over their personal records to anyone who asks for them is...
