Ugh hoping the injury is just a bump or bruise. At least we didn't just cut our number two TE from last year and have 1/3 of the league put in a waiver claim for him.

If that were true he would not have been on his couch. I think he is a great QB3 and backup should Brady really miss time, but les not pretend he is some sort of elite backup just because he's a Pat now. He's merely serviceable vet with plenty of real experience.

Nah. Anytime you can destroy the confidence of a promising young DB in a shallow secondary you go for it.

It's almost the kind of thing the league or commish would leak so that the owner's meeting tomorrow isn't quite so tense and awkward ....

Certain things have come to light. Given the nature of all this new ****, this could be a lot more ah a aa a a aa a complex, I mean it might not be just a simple ya know. New **** has come to light.

Thanks God. It's so bad. I thought you were going to say we had Bradley Fletcher.

Can I please live in this world you're in where the Pats CBs are not an issue? Also, were both Grigson & Kensil fired after the Wells Report release in this universe, or just one of them? :)

One of?

Not sure why they cut him since the cap savings were minimal. He was an above average slot guy even if a liability outside. And then to see him signed by one of the NFL's most consistent talent evaluators just kind of confirms that he's not hot trash. Weird move by BB.

No he only works home games. Don't waste your time on the fumble splits. The Pats will debunk this "since 2007 they never fumble ZOMG!" statistical myth this year. (HINT: It's called playing RBs who don't fumble and having a QB with a fast release who doesn't get strip sacked often.)

You'd think Curran would have been on it. I'm really surprised as to me this is the smoking gun for the sting. Why would Blandino lie unless he didn't want people to know emails were exchanged and plans made beforehand?

I mean, how dumb is Blandino to simply not have said "I can't comment on an ongoing league matter" on media day. Boom. Case closed. Ego won't allow it though. Has to try to make himself look squeaky clean and Pats as bad as possible. Ditto Wells. He had zero upside to talking today, only...

What's great is it opens up the question of the credibility of NFL management regrading whether they have been forthright about their intentions and I think you can start discovery process and subpoena Blandinos's phone, Grigson, Kensil, the whole crew. So all the leaks will come out, all the...

Seriously. It's why you say "No Comment." Depending on how bad this goes in court for them, NFL might need a fall guy. Between this and the Cowboy bus bender, Blandino is looking the part.

I've only seen the local Boston report but I'd imagine it'll hit Reiss soon and from there will get picked up nationally.

Not sure how this has not gotten mainstream traction yet but surely will be a cornerstone of Pats case: http://boston.cbslocal.com/2015/05/11/dean-blandino-nfls-officiating-vp-lied-about-deflategate-knowledge/ At a pre-Super Bowl press conference, Blandino tried to say that nobody from the...

This is why you just keep your mouth shut and why you don't turn over your phone. You slip up and say something dumb and give yourself enough enough rope to hang yourself. Wells had no upside only downside holding this call. Glad Kraft rattled his cages. Now Blandino caught in bald face lie...

See now THAT is a straight up lie. No where else in the Wells report do any Patriot employees contradict themselves as conclusively as Blandino has done. Now who exactly has something to hide?

Does he play lawyer?

Right. It's technically not by the book but is still a much more cushy gray area than deflating 12.5 balls to 11. Not sure if Pats have dug their heels in too deep on this already to fall back on this defense but it makes a lot of sense to me. It absolves them of AFCCG shenanigans and...
