Brady's coming up on WEEI

[swheeler23]

the audio is up on weei. Why did Goodell call Brady? Does he call some unknown defensive lineman? Goodell sucks.

That and a bunch of others. Awesome. I heard the Esiason one yesterday, he loves the Patriots right now and the Wilfork interview is great.

Where in the interview is it? I'm listening to the audio right now and can't find it.

 

[swheeler23]

It is at the end.

If I were Brady, I would have told Goodell to F himself and never call him during a game. What a pompous pr!ck.

I just listened to it. He just said that Goodell persoanlly called the "fine guy" in NE to inform him of the fine, NOT Brady. Also the "in the game" comment was refering to the chinstrap itself, as in "was it unsnapped during a play, or just as you were standing on the sideline". That's how I heard it.

 

[Satchboogie3]

I still can't believe this. Goodell has lost his mind.

Perhaps he trying to piss off the Pats. With just how sh!tty the average NFL product is these days, perhaps a perfect season by the Pats might gloss over the uglness that is - The Dolfins, Rams, Jets, Bills, Falcons, Saints and on, and on.

Keep em' talking about anything, cept about what milllions of people shell BILLIONS of dollars for, a competitive football game on Sunday.

 

[FrontSeven]

Yeah, just heard that...... Damn.

Sorry for the premature shout

Gimme more cowbell, baby, more cowbell.

Is it possible that perhaps his motivation is exactly opposite? That he wants maximum protection for his league's most valuable assets?

The reason for the fine is that it's a safety issue. Concussion awareness is high in the NFL. Brett Favre made a mockery of the chin strap rules, others started to copy, and they started cracking down a couple of years ago. Concussion awareness has made it a priority.

Maybe you think it's silly. Maybe it is. Or maybe there is some science behind it. I don't know. I'm not a doctor. Goodell nailed us good for BB's rules violation. It doesn't mean that anything he does is anti-Patriots. Guys like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, and others are the franchise.

Brady said he did not know it was undone. If he was doing it on purpose or alot I could understand.

I don't disagree. But I think the point is it's less likely to happen again. I don't think the rule is to punish. It's to keep the chin straps buttoned.

It's not my money. If it makes our star QB even modestly more safe, I'm all for it.
