We should be taking names of those who gleefully rushed to judgment. I am not holding my breath, of course, but they ought to be held accountable.“No matter how you want to spin it, cheating is cheating,” former Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward said on television this week. “And for the Patriots, they got caught. Splashback they call it right?” he said with a laugh.
But should nothing be proven, or should Brady be cleared — if this whole case is left as nothing but a lot of hot air — it will be interesting to see if his accusers show any of the contrition they are currently demanding from the quarterback.
The funny thing is Bill Nye says this stuff is garbage, but even I remember back from my chemistry class that if you apply friction to a gas that the molecules will speed up and expand. And my chemistry teacher will back me up that I shouldn't be considered an expert on this type of stuff. But the supposed "Science Guy" thinks it is garbage? And the thing is he didn't even say why he thinks it is garbage.
In addition, he is from Seattle and not a scientist.Rob, ignore Nye. He's a media hack ideologue, someone who believes things and eschews the real essence of science yet arrives at conclusions. People worship this guy because of his image. He has no substance whatsoever. You are 100% correct criticizing him for not substantiating his opinion. He simply can't.
I have no problem with him being an enthusiastic Seahawks fan.

Many folks have little regard for the facts. But there is a minority who respect the truth, and we have seen a shift in attitude among the enlightened.

Why would the media learn from that when they face little to no repercussions from it?Wouldn't it be easier to list the ones who didn't?
You would think after Richard Jewel, the Duke Lacrosse accusations, the UVA Fraternity rape story, and even the Rams WalkThrough rumor, that the media would learn to hold off on making definitive statements until they get some actual facts.
I can see fans doing this. It doesn't make them any less idiotic, but you can't stop people from having opinions. The professionals should actually show a little caution.
As long as the media compensates their employees on their speed and not their accuracy we will always have this challenge.. The professionals should actually show a little caution.

Yeah, and he stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.While not a "scientist" he does have a Mechanical Engineering degree from Cornell.
I'd prefer no fine but more importantly I do I want the NFL to come out and say explicitly that Belichick and Brady did nothing wrong. Without that people can say well they got a fine so they must have cheated. I want them vindicated entirely.Believe it or not, I could actually envision the NFL fining them a small amount (maybe the suggested 25k) for having their footballs under the league mandated limit, even without further explanation of any wrongdoing.
Even if that were the case, I think it'd be okay at this point. I don't know--I didn't feel the same way a few days ago, but today a small fine with no other reasonable explanation for "cheating" somehow doesn't seem as bad.

Excellent muahahaha!Whenever I hear someone call Brady a liar, or the Pats cheaters this pass week.
But at this point i want the team wanting to prove all of this was nonsense, just like spy gate. To have this all blow over now I think could be a let down. Let them be exonerated next monday, keep the anger and rage going until then.The fact that major news sources are showing another, more explosive conspiracy -thay the Pats were the vicims changes everything.
Truth and facts don't matter anymore to people. Its who has the biggest megaphone and says the most sensationalistic thing is what matters.
Reading that John McCain is ripping Goodell...I love it.
