Kraft Orchids Case - Prosecuters Want a Tug Rule?

Source? We have already discussed that a petition exists asking Gillette to do that, but online petitions aren't even worth the paper they are written on. .

Or in this case the paper they aren't even printed on
 
Are you really going to claim you don't know the post? The one where you lost your composure and used some unfortunate language in y direction? I never said you were the one that deleted it. It might be better if you were mindful of the First Law of Holes here and quit digging.
You have me mixed up with someone else apparently.
 
Oh, so we want Kraft to be Jerry Jones now? Yeah, no thank you.

And the above quoted is a perfect example of irrational fans taking a story into the stupid. No offense, but it is. Jones flailing his arms over the Elliott suspension did nothing in terms of substantive good for the Cowboys on the field. And really that's all that matters. You can do all the talking in the world, but in the end, most of us are fans for the product we see on the field.

Speaking of which....what did we get as a product after the TB12 suspension? A 14-1 season by TB12, 27/2 TD/int ratio and arguably his best season ever. And oh yeah, world champs.

You can bellyache all you want about Kraft's response, but as I said earlier... if TB12 himself can hug on Kraft after this spa story came to light, surely we can at least try to see Kraft's POV on the Deflategate handling. Why would we be more indignant over the situation than TB12 himself?
We got Tom Brady lost for 4 games and 2 draft picks stolen away for nothing.
Very arguably those 2 draft picks could have been the difference in Sb 52 and we would have won 3 in a row and 4 of 5.

Kraft himself admitted he made a huge mistake. Brady was furious. Glad to hear you’re still defending this move. Fans like myself are taking this into “the stupid” for having a negative opinion about Kraft’s actions when Kraft acknowledges he screwed up badly? You may want to reconsider whose in “the stupid” here.
 
Stop with the yellow bellied defense resulted in a SB Championship narrative. It didn't.

Brady was strong enough to overcome deflategate and stand his moral ground despite Bob folding like a lawn chair.

Nice straw man. Never said Kraft's handling of Deflategate led to a championship. What I am saying is his handling of Deflategate didn't prevent one. Jerry Jones has actually prevented championships with his actions. I don't want Bob Kraft emulating Jerry Jones. The end.
 
Sinister? People donating money is sinister because their choice of who to donate to isnt the same as yours? Remarkable.

No, that's not what he's saying Andy. He's saying that people disguise political intentions inside charitable giving, making it intentionally opaque in order to mislead the rest of us regarding their intentions and impact.
 
Schefter downplays his “bigger name” report

“Again, I don’t have the name,” Schefter said. “I don’t have the name. Because I was not given the name. And, again, maybe I should have framed it a little differently because the story took on a life of its own. And I just should have said, ‘There are people down there telling me. . . .’ Now, there are people who tell you things that sometimes come to be and sometimes don’t.”
 
The median US HH income is somewhere around $60K, so 90% of Americans can’t make under $35k. Unless that was a hypothetical you’re presenting. Today’s poverty line is around $30k.

Here's some data-based research.

Here's the chart that results:

I would never do that to someone else.
You don't recall the Josh Gordon thread and using an expletive then subsequently posting about my being on ignore? How...convenient

Hes been hanging out with Mort too long. Slippery.

But if they are giving to charity why would their politics matter? I’m sure most people give to charities that they agree with politically or philosophically.
Giving to charity in order to portray an image still adds up to giving to charity.
I’m not understanding how giving money to charity can be a bad thing. If the charity i choose is say, an anti abortion charity, or on the other hand a pro choice charity, I am still giving to charity. It’s just a matter of which people think I am “disguising my political intentions” and which think I am a generous benefactor based upon where they stand on the issue.
Perhaps you mean something else and can clarify. But it seems like you are dividing charities into good and bad.

Nope.
I put you on ignore because of the way you post.
You don’t have your facts right.
If I took a shot at you I guarantee it was in response to you doing so first because I never go personal until someone else does.
 
Source? We have already discussed that a petition exists asking Gillette to do that, but online petitions aren't even worth the paper they are written on. I have seen nothing to indicate Gillette is actually considering the above.

I hope it is true!
Good riddance to Gillette, their pharisaic virtue signaling, and their lousy, overpriced razors. The only legitimate reason to not like the Patriots is their partnership with this vile corporation.
