If this was truly about competitive advantage, why didn't league prevent it before the game?

Goodell needs to answer this. Absolutely has to .
Pete is definitely not a patriot fan so this statement is telling. The focus sholud be on why the league screwed up something so simple and yet essential to "integrity of the game"

On a day where the NFL was supposedly hyper-focused on the balls Walt Anderson lost track of them. If u believe that version of the story...


the more time goes by and the more the report gets absorbed, the less validity there is to it.......it really doesn't say anything....the data does not even have a starting point

the league seems to be hellbent on dragging brady through the mud on this one while there is still a very strong possibility that Brady NEVER instructed anyone to make the balls illegal.........
 
Hopeful? No one is hopeful the team gets suspended its just the writing on the wall with this league.

Triumph is.

People want Brady suspended for almost the same amount of time as Greg Hardy. Hell Ray Rice originally got 2 games and national media is saying they want 4 times that amount!!!

People are idiots. This is not news.
 
McNally only worked on day games so he was at Gillette maybe 10 times a year while Brady's preparing for a game, why would he know him?


just the connection that it's the balls and that the notion goes through the QB........it makes me wonder, but just like 99% of the rest of it all, there is nothing definitive
 
Why BB ? Was BB punished for not keeping tabs on hernandez ? or for Spikes failing tests, or for Rodney found for HGH violation etc etc.

I read the same thing as you, the report dismissed Kraft BB Etc from any wrongdoing. But somehow my gut is telling me that BB will be involved in this somehow. I truly hope im wrong.

except that the report stipulates no wrongdoing by BB (which I assume includes not knowing about balls)

it is certainly reasonable for the coach to not have knowledge of game time ball prep

I would not be surprised if Goodell tries to suspend Brady, but the NFLPA will have something to say about it and will most likely win that one provided there is zero precedence for anyone ever getting suspended for tampering with a ball.......Goodell can't just hand down suspensions to players in the same way he does with coaches......the CBA prevents that through an appeal process.

I think another poster stated this but lets say they hit Brady with a 4 game suspension. Appeal it to 1 game and yet the NFL still gets their way.

Its clear brady is obsessed with the correct preperation of the footballs from his complaint about the balls being 16PSI after the jet game. That statement also clearly exonerates the pats and brady that they tamper with the balls after the refs test them because it wouldnt have been 16PSI then would it ? Even the guy in text says its "16 when it should be 13. The refs screwed us." Clearly as Don Yee says, these guys who prepared the report dont even understand football and Iam not sure were aware if they were investigating inflation or deflation of footballs.

Thats what the elague will do. Go overboard with the punishment expecting it to get reduced so they still win.

I'm trying to be unbiased when I say "I don't see it". From the basis of precedence, NFLPA will swallow any suspension whole and spit it back at goodell
 
He's right in the fact that the NFL will punish Belichick as well. hell this has gained anough media coverage to be on front page papers across the country and almost 24 coverage on ESPN. Usually Goodell tries to make "an example" and where so many people in the know are stating there will be a heavy punishment it is coming. When Schefty says he thinks Brady AT LEAST gets 1 game I believe that he has legit info.

2 things hurt BB and this is why I believe he will get something out of this.

1. Spygate and that he received no suspension. IMO, Goodell regrets that one.
2. NE just won the SB.

I also believe that both McNally and the Polish guy are Asta Lavista.
 
I would love to see US as fans boycott the opening game of the NFL season if this team has a player/coach/etc suspended.

this is a bash Deus rant either, this is I unfortunately agree that this is going to be very bad for us.

And for the people downvoting me because Im saying I think they will be punished, glad to see you believe in opinion keep being that guy.

Kudos to you Sir.

I don't want any of this, but something happened with the balls. The texts between the equipment guys are very damning.
 
McNally doesn't go on the road. So, who's the "deflator" on the road, Mr. Wells?
 
Thats what the elague will do. Go overboard with the punishment expecting it to get reduced so they still win.


they would only make it look more stupid

the NFLPA shoved Ray Rice back down Goodell's throat and the league was unable to hand down any additional punishment....this one would be easy for them

if nobody has ever been suspended for tampering with balls, brady will not be the first one to miss a game because of it. not with the lack of evidence, not with the bumbling by the league pre game.
 
Kudos to you Sir.

Exactly and ONLY seeing that in the report is as bad as a punch in the face. Sucker Punch city, it makes us look immensely guilty

damning to who? there's nothing that says brady wanted the balls out of spec. deflating them to 12.5 psi is not against the rules.......you would have to have evidence that brady instructed them to alter the balls after the refs inspected them. it is more likely that these guys messed up and missed doing it before the refs got their hands on them and decided to take matters into their own hands

Really, could you be anymore trollish?
