Scumbag troy vincent: "We didn't focus on PSI, just protocol with spot checks"

How do these clowns have jobs?

Life is a circus, obviously....

More to the point of how the NFL thinks we're all idiots. The Nomore.org stuff is especially relevant.

 

[supafly]

They've changed their minds so many times on what/how they've supposedly collected or not collected data. Who knows what to believe? What a **** show.

At one time, Troy Vincent wanted to be head of the NFLPA. Siding with the NFL on a witch hunt against a member of the union burns that bridge forever.

That bridge was burned the day he lost his bid to be NFLPA President and went to work for the league..

At this point they are purposefully saying this to troll the patriots and its fans.

The latest chapter of "Dumb and Dumber" unfolds..

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

Is Troy still doing his stand up comedy? Getting real hard to tell as he obviously doesn't deal with facts.

Perhaps he's the Chet Wallaby for Roger/NFL*

Part of me wishes TB12 had a different legal strategy and went after the PSI IGL angle. Would have been a slam dunk and publicly embarassed everyone in the NFL for their incompetence and stupidity.

Just another example of what completely unexceptional human beings there are running the NFL. The moron collective put their heads together, and the lie they go with is the one that directly contradicts their prior express, clear statements.

You ever notice really dumb people invariably think you must be as dumb as they are?

What total BS. So after this whole thing they are focusing solely on balls being carried from place to place. Really? That's the best they can come up with?

So the NFL is really going to gloss over that whole pesky PSI, Ideal Gas Law thing. Are truthers not going to be questioning why the NFL is not touching upon weather/PSI at all?

Statements like these which totally fly in the face of what the NFL said they were going to do earlier in the year has to make people question the NFL's motives, doesn't it? Doesn't it?

During halftime, each game ball for both teams will be inspected in the locker room by designated members of the officiating and security crews, and the PSI results will be measured and recorded.

So they just decided not to do this? Why? I can see them backtracking from this statement after learning about weather and PSI. They would have to know they would be walking into a situation where they would be getting results that vindicated the Pats.

“It wasn’t a research study. They simply were spot checks. There were no violations this year. We’re pleased that we haven’t had any violations and we continue the work, obviously, to consistently and importantly enforce the integrity of the game and the rules that are designed to protect it,” Goodell said.

Really? Why not tell us the results of the Seahawks-Vikings game? Can't some reporter straight up ask him "what were the psi numbers of the footballs at halftime of the Seahawks-Vikings game?" How will he dance around that question without drawing suspicion to the NFL's motives? I'd love/hate to hear him explain around how he won't/can't offer up those numbers.

It would probably go something like this:

Reporter-"Mr. Goodell, could you please present your findings of the PSI measured in the footballs at halftime of the Seahawks-Vikings game"

Goodell-"What we were doing wasn't a research study. It simply preventative measures."

Reporter-"Ok, but you released a statement that NFL officials would be checking the PSI on the balls at halftime and playing with backup balls in the second half. So what were the measurements at halftime?"

Goodell-"No follow up questions"

If questioned, the "no follow up questions" thing will prevent anyone from getting any sort of real answer out of him. It's infuriating.

Pretty good article this morning from Michael Hurley:

That bridge was burned the day he lost his bid to be NFLPA President and went to work for the league..

The scumbag was trying to seize control of the NFLPA when Gene Upshaw was diagnosed with cancer, but still running the NFLPA. The players realized it and turned against him. So when he lost his bid for NFLPA president, he knew the handwritting was on the walls that he was going to be ousted from NFLPA management and went running to the League who was happy to give a position to a former NFLPA big wig to throw it in their face.

There were also allegations that the scumbag took "for nflpa eyes only" files and gave them to the nfl and it was a major reason why he got the job.

THIS is why I will never forgive Kraft!

Can I have your season tickets?

Plus the employees at his massage parlor liked to have a little fun with the patrons.

That is exactly Goodell!!

 

[ErniesPinkStripes]

How can they continue with this inconsistent garbage and get away with it? I know they're the mighty nfl with countless media members and organizations in their pocket, but isn't there someone, some organization, somewhere, who sees through this BS and the opportunity to put these lying bastards in their place?

Seems like a great way to make a name for yourself.. But alas it seems the Duke 30for30 was right.. There are no more Walter Cronkites anymore. Sigh.

Again, see my post on the first page. They said there were no protocol issues, which is a flat lie. There's a link to the cbs (?) article that explains the refs left balls AND GAUGES (iirc) at the hotel outside Logan prior to the Chiefs game. They needed Staties to escort said equipment to Gillette to make it there for kickoff, let alone the 2 hr (again, iirc) window in which everything needs to be approved.

That said, I threw a tweet at Vincent, calling him on his bs, which was retweeted by #driveforfive @DynastyDriven. The avatar is a pic of Brady and Bennet shaking hands...any clues on who that may be? I'll try to paste the retweet, warning, I only use twitter to drunkenly call out the lack of integrity within the NYJFLFO.

Check out @woolster22's Tweet:

Yes...That doesn't prove or disprove anything. With or without the new protocols in place, the refs still need the gauges to get the balls between 13.5 and 12.5.
