“To make this big deal about how much air is in a damn football. I’ve played a little football, I don’t think it makes any difference.

“And if it did make a difference, what’s wrong with Goodell and the National Football League — check the footballs before they go on the field.”

Actually, he has a point. A pretty darn good point.

wow.......i didn't even think of that.....checking the ball before it goes on the field.....
oh, that's right....it was a sting operation

I thought this was going to be another Arlen Spectre(RIP) dog and pony show... thank god it is not.

And a damn good one at that. It's so apparent on many levels how hard the NFL and Goodell have a hair across their collective asses with the Patriots organization and it needs to stop. Kraft needs to inflate his own set a balls and start making a case over this.

Why would you dislike this, @Chiuba E. Obele? There was clearly a reason the NFL didn't tell the Patriots about any of the complaints from IND or BAL yet officials, their boss and other VPs knew about it.

prob just misunderstood.......

the real question is if it was so damned important, just make sure they were right before the game starts

and the real answer is that the balls didn't f*cking matter........the only thing that mattered was to plaster the pats to the wall

Specter had a rooting interest in seeing the Pats get taken down. He was an embarrassment to PA and the Eagles, but Harry's point should have been settled long ago--Redskin is a racial epithet and has no place in the game.

Glad Harry didn't turn a blind eye towards the Patriots' plight

Are you angling for a pun here, PWP?

If so: well played, good sir.

Poor Harry, but his accident proved that the Repubs and Dems can cooperate. Rand Paul treated his eye almost immediately after it got whacked.

If I remember correctly, there's a high school team in the southwest in a predominantly Native American area that uses the same name for its sports teams. It seems the only people bothered by the term are social justice warriors with way too much time on their hands.

Damn right. Candy-assed PC whining losers. Grow a sack. It's only bothersome to those you listed above.

I think the campaign contributions from Comcast motivated him more than his Eagles did in that matter.

It would be nice if the ratings were set up with the positive ones on one side and the negative ones on the other. This good-bad-good-bad pattern is treacherous on a phone.

You actually care about ratings on an online message board?

You actually care if I care?

And no, I don't "care", just making an observation

Funny......I think "Political-Correctness" has no place in the game...but that's just me.

PWP is a recovering political board poster...maybe I'll ask him to be my sponsor!!
