Penalties being considered for the Pats - UPDATED 1/1/2020

[Uptown]

I miss when we were just a team with a bad offense...

 

[sb1]

I’m still not seeing a huge amount of outrage like with the other “scandals” yet. I think people want to see the tape and I do too.

 

[Froob]

When I woke up this morning and checked this site, the top threads were
- Filming in Cinci
- "Not liking what I'm hearing about the locker room"
- Belichick could return to Giants
- Mahomes girlfriend had to be moved
-
On the plus side, no AB threads, but, geez.

AB going to join Belichick and Brady on the Giants

If the most recent reports are true, i.e., that the crew was taping a "Do Your Job" sequence under the supervision of Patriots staff and that the Patriots Coaching staff would never even see the tapes until the show was produced, then this is a complete breakdown of management control. The Krafts should fire everyone in the organization accountable for the supervision of the film crew and then commission a new documentary "Know the Rules."

 

[RobertWeathers]

Doesn’t matter? The story is all over the place and it makes the patriots look bad.
We as fans can split the nuances but in the end, a story becomes reality if it’s repeated enough.
For those of us who do not live in New England, that is the reality.
They should’ve made 1000% sure nothing like this could ever come up.

A set of circumstances occurred which when pieced together to create a specific narrative makes the Patriots look bad.

Yawn.

You picked the wrong team to follow, pal.

 

[IllegalContact]

at best, this Bob Kraft and his Kraft Productions trying to squeeze another nickle out of his ownership of the team through some team-irrelevant endeavor......that will now negatively affect the team.

hope it was worth it

 

[BelichickFan]

The only way this becomes a real "thing" IMO is if it ends up that the Do Your Job thing was a cover for filming every upcoming opponent. If it were a one off with all the disclaimers already discussed (permission from Browns, etc) then this is almost certainly nothing. Although, I know, deflategate should have been nothing too.

 

[venecol]

Do any of you work for a big corporation?

I swear some of these comments make it sound like you think the corporate hierarchy of the Patriots is a direct line from everyone to Kraft...

C'mon man, you know advanced scout is there directly under Kraft to smell out any undercover LE operations of local spas.

they contract with outside people

 

[dannydyn]

The problem with this organization that it has spun off to other not playing-related ********. WTF is Kraft doing with this Do Your Job nonsense. Stop wasting money on ******** like that, all sorts of idiotic gimmicks. It just always gets us in the ass. Kraft is trying to take a football team and turn it into some ****ing conglomerate. Just stick to ****ing football, for ****'s sake, stop being cute and greedy! I'm so tired of this team getting into all sorts of ****, CONSTANTLY!

 

[IllegalContact]

so whats worse?

Cheating?

Or being so galactically stupid that you look like you're cheating?

 

[PP2]

Trollin

Bendover Bob at it again. Worst possible thing to have done. Capitulating, in today's society, is automatically a sign of guilt. Attention span is so short these days that people are going to automatically link apology to guilt, without doing research or fact-checking.

Bendover Bob lives in a different era. He really needs to learn that journalistic integrity is nonexistent today and to fight fire with fire.

 

[NashuaPats]

It wouldn't be surprising if the videographer isn't a football fan and had never heard of Spygate. Probably shocked and bewildered by what he/she has started.

 

[50-yard-line]

Deflategate was extremely bogus. Absolutely was a witchhunt and looking back makes me ill. Spygate I was really young for. Was 14 and researched it before becoming a fan. Didn't really care.

This scandal might beat me down though. Being an anime/patriots fan always makes me a target. Was bullied in school for anime. However, learned to block the noise. However just sucks everything I support is crucified by people.

Social media sucks the joy out of life and the truth out of society.

except the truth ain't gonna matter in this one

 

[ANGR89]

Well I guess it was too much to hope I'd wake up this morning to see the NFL had already squashed this whole cheating theory.

 

[DaBronxPats14]

Either way nfl* gets their atrocious, boger*bumbling crew refs* out of spotlight and bury that story and have negative public opinion all over Pats again before any facts. We saw Facts Sunday Night but lets not get facts in way of narrative.

Its amazing how goodell* always skates on these sports talk shows, mediots* and never gets any criticism since Ray Rice incident and to take heat of him he went right to wells report* witch hunt at TB & d'gate. Who is goodell* paying off at BSPN to keep himself low key and continuing Bashing of Pats every segment and chance they get?

Squashed? They STARTED it.

Saw it on GMA this morning...and after, Robin Roberts asked, 'Why is it always the Patriots?"

Umm, because that's the only one that your show will mention because it's the only one anyone cares about?

 

[SHOWTIME15]

The pitch forks are out this morning...and the scout was some guy from Boston College?

Patriots should face stiff punishment from NFL over latest controversy
