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

PatsDynastyX2 said:

Agreed, but this is Goodell, the cheating teams and the media. They've done this before. They hold the Pats to this bizarre, ultra high standard and have separate rules compared to the rest of the league.

I simply do not trust Goodell. An "investigation" is really code for "we need to discuss how we want to frame NE and make sure we don't get caught doing it"....

I agree and that's who I would aim my criticisms at if he punishes the team for something that didn't happen.

The NFL spin machine is a powerful thing. As a Pats fan, you should know that.

We have seen ample evidence Fraudger & Co no longer need care about getting 'caught' coming to their predetermined conclusions and meting out false 'justice' or whatever else they want to pass it off as. Not only are conduct detrimental decisions under this CBA bulletproof in court but Goodell can publicly get caught in outright lies in his arbitration findings and...crickets...

Right, but the left of the bell curve portion of the population that makes up MOST Of the non-Pats fanbases, don't think he's lied.

They actually believe everything he says. It's sad and scary. Our whole society has become a bunch of walking ******s, generally speaking. They think facts end up on their smartphones while taking their morning dump.

I have a friend who is a Giants fan who still insists that the Patriots got fined for "taping practices".

It looks like he is posting something put out there 2 years ago about 3-4 years ago. Seems relevant.

Exactly. That's easier to hide if he just types the words and doesn't actually provide the link.

Do you work for the NFL front office spin machine? Sure sounds like it. Goodell is infamous for making something appear the way he wants it to appear.

The NFL ratings are nowhere near where they were 10 years ago. NE has all but broken the NFL.

lmao

As a Pats fan, it's funny you don't even know this.

All due respect to your friend but I insist he is an idiot.

that would be the Denver Broncos and that’s on McDaniels. Honestly he wasn’t really that likeable as a coach outside of NE.

Is that your answer to the "Links" request?? You must be new to having informative discussions with people.

Facts are facts. Links are links. You, so far, evidently have just made things up.

How about a link - - instead of trying to masquerade one?

They had to go up considering how low they tumbled, but they're still not where they were pre 2016 when they started to drop. It's a simple fact and exactly what I've said above.

Again, they're misleading the reader with these reports. They're also comparing themselves to ONLY broadcast tv, which is ALSO misleading considering people are cutting cable left and right and watching Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc.

Some of us work in the industry.

You're welcome.

Yeah, I don't think using SPorts Illustrated as a source is a bad one. Thanks.

So where is your link????? You typed stuff earlier in a post to make it look like a link.

It's beginning to become quite evident that you are not the brightest bulb.
