While a superior player than Aikman, Johnny U has never won a Super Bowl.
Johnny U was the Colts starting QB in Super Bowl V, which the Colts won.

Bucky Brooks is a dink.Not sure if this was linked here previously - Brady with an asterisk from an NFL analyst:

The Pats are renting space in the NFL's head.Hilarious they took it down. Really makes me wonder if a jets fans is running that garbage feed
The balls absolutely violated the rules. Its WHY and HOW they violated them that is the issue. Plus the issue that the other teams balls also violated these rules.
The refs have a fairly strong union themselves. If there's a pattern of performance assessments that is oriented against a particular team, you can bet that the referee's union would file a grievance. Given the NFL's already sorry reputation, I seriously doubt they go that way. But then, how did that SB50 graphic get out? Makes you wonder who's running the shop.Still waiting for someone to convince me why I should believe NE games this year (and beyond) will be refereed fairly.
And yes, the NFL won't be so stupid as to outright tell the ref to cheat (though you never know), but all they have to do is have their toady Blandino (or whoever grades the refs) downgrade correct close calls for NE, upgrade incorrect close calls against NE, and the refs will get the message.
But there now seems to be a growing backlash from the media. Just look at this nice quote from Peter King referring to the NFL graphic:
That’s utterly preposterous. … I saw some reference to it last night but I really didn’t look into it. So this morning I looked at and I said, ‘What in the world is the NFL thinking?’ To put — I forget who else is on it — but I mean it’s clearly the one who sticks out is Carson Palmer. … Look, that was a case where the NFL should have said, ‘Hey, listen, we’d be better off putting nothing out than this.’ It’s ridiculous. Tom Brady is either the, or one of the top three, top four, whatever the number is, best quarterbacks of all time, best players of all time. And to not have him on a list like that, and in a graphic like that, the year after he’s the Super Bowl MVP, is preposterous.”His mea culpa on deflategate reporting is also well worth reading:

Good. This will only feed his hate.
(Plus this is a repeat thread)
Damn, they win so much that even the league hates them! I'm starting to see the humor in all of this . . .
At least he owned it and went on WEEI to face the music. Meanwhile in Mort land ....crickets....
Mort's last tweet Sept 2. hahaha
This is why, if they had any self-awareness at all, they'd consider moving the league office to someplace that doesn't have an NFL team. Hell, NJ is right down the road! (That's a joke son, that's a joke.)Too many ex-jets working in the front office. I read over at patriotsplanet that the guy who runs the league's social media is a big Jets fan. The entire league office is polluted by the Jets. Talk about an unfair advantage. Their certainly is NO INTEGRITY in that office.
