Forgettabout it, posting thermometers is no big deal and not an NFL rule violation, all the Pats were doing was warning them about the dangers of frigid football...

This is not new, he has done this before.. not sure there are any rules (yet) regarding what you can wear under an NFL uniform... they tell the players to dress in layers.

NFL should have checked balls in NE & Pitt. All of them.

He’s worn it for years in cold weather games, I think Mark Sanchez and other QBs learned about it and started doing the same thing,

Indeed.

Could've been an intimidation tactic. Or maybe just a courtesy?

**** like this justifies the statement I made in another thread. I knew Pats would play the Saturday night game in two weeks because they are the NFL's biggest draw.

For every Pats fan there is, there's probably two haters like this.

Lol, what a joke. She fits right in with the huffpost

Or given the quality of reporting it wouldn't surprise me to find out the thermometers have been there for ten years.

I hope the thermometers were rigged to show it was colder than it actually was.

I see she deleted all those tweets and is trying to backpedal. I don’t think she expected the response she is getting.

She's an idiot. With that said, if her only comment was that tweet the website was more guilty of sensationalizing it than she was. She wrote "rules violation.". The website wrote "cheated" in their headline. Both are idiots.

He probably leaked this himself, just to create the distraction for other teams, knowing it won't matter to his own.

What fun if this leads to an endorsement deal for Brady with the Wet Suit manufacturer.

I have to half-agree and half-disagree with you. There are indeed rules regarding what players can wear under their uniforms. Barring medical issues, they are not allowed to wear bandannas or skull caps, nor can they wear anything with logos showing from the outside.

However, the league gives a lot of leeway with regards to safety and cold weather gear. The policy specifically states that players may wear "approved cold weather gear," including under their helmets.

The league wants 2 things: All players to have the same uniform on the outside and ZERO logos of any company showing (beyond the NFL approved vendors of course).

IMO the weird part is that most of the players went with bare arms. (While huddling in front of the heaters, of course.)

Anyway...putting up a thermometer is a "questionable tactic"? If any other team did it, it would be called a "funny joke."

Also heard he put a thermometer on the Gatorade jugs to remind them how warm the Gatorade is.
