Per Adam Shefter: In leu of other evidence against him, the NFL submitted a signed affidavit to the court yesterday, containing a list of flaws in Tom Brady's character observed over many years. 1) Writes his name all over everything in the stadium, from footballs to shoes and clothing 2)...

As a Patriots fan, I hate to say this, but if your ball boys insert needles into the team's footballs and opponents footballs after officials measure them, you should expect a penalty if caught. And if the top brass of the team is aware and admits they put out an order to do this prior to the...

Independent arbitrator uses arbitration time to prepare a lawsuit against the party requesting the appeal hearing, filing it in court the same moment as announcing his independent decision to uphold his organization's initial decision...

We all agree Tom Brady is innocent, and most of us agree that Kraft is idly standing by. The only reason fans and media call Patriots "cheaters" is to aggravate Patriots fans. Specifics don't matter. It's time someone proposed that we "own" it and flip the narrative around. I realized there...

Update: The NFL waited on purpose, declaring the investigation into the Patriots more important than fixing the rule. Reiss reports the Patriots got the half-time measurements in March but were not allowed to share or defend themselves by the NFL. Back in January, the NFL screwed up by...

We beat our former AFC East rival by 60 points. No, not the 4-win Jets. I mean the almost-top-seeded Colts. In just two games. There damn better "well" be an investigation. These are the Colts. They have great quarterbacks. Why does this keep happening in 2015. If Luck can’t make up a 60...

Imagine if Brady wanted 13.5 and Luck 12.5 and the Patriots were accused of deflating the opposing team's footballs. It's hard to imagine there could be an even bigger distraction than what lead up to the Seahawks game (or the 2007 Giants game), but that would be it. Rumors that only the Colts...

http://teespring.com/battle-of-1812-4th-of-july I wanted to share a tee to help celebrate the end of the "War of 1812" for Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Veterans Day. It's an original design called "Battle of '12". This shirt is printed in front and back. Since I visit PatsFans a lot...

Goodell practiced his speech via conference call with several football and media personnel over the phone this evening. Summary: 1) Goodell moves the Jaguars game to London in week 3. 2) Patriots to lose picks every time the balls change pressure. 3) Colts vindicated. 3) He's not done yet...

The Colts and Patriots, two footballs teams, faced off in the "semi-final". 1) The manager of the Colts team asked the league to keep an eye out for game-ball tampering. The referees were alerted. The match begun without any complaints. 2) Teams bring their own game-balls, so team staff puts...

The ball carrier, Jim McNally, called himself “the deflater” at the start of the season in a joke text message. His entire part-time job with the Patriots since 2007 is being the only employee in the officials locker room pre-game as they measure balls. His job is to convince them to let air...

Here are a few quotes and my commentary on an article from February 2015. Belichick must have read the same article on his Super Bowl yacht. No wonder Richards was projected later in the draft: "While other prospects left school to train full time... at pricey athletic academies in Southern...

Not only did R. Wilson repeat according to the official list on Pro Football Hall of Fame, but we can see, also: http://www.profootballhof.com/history/release.aspx?release_id=97 In the first 33 Super Bowls (before 2000), 28 of 33 matchups had a winning OR losing quarterback (or both) in the...

Someone already vandalized the new banner Colts raised last weekend on 4/20. We used to laugh a dozen years ago that Colts had banners like, “Division Semi-Finalist” or “AFC Wildcard” in their old stadium. The new one is quite a stretch, but I hope we can identify the vandals. Ted Wells...

1) In the same off-season that we drafted Tom Brady, we fired the head coach (Carroll). His very next NFL job? A GM and Coach who took his team to 3 Super Bowl visits, including back-to-back. Any other fan base would be complaining right now if their team let such a coach ago. Jets would be...

2013: Wilfork got injured in September. Yes, we had Talib back then, but you get the point. Collins and (Logan) Ryan were rookies, as was the Punter R. Allen.

Here's a fun video of special teams in pro football that Belichick would be proud of.

In 2014, 59% of passes from the 1 yard line ended in a TD. I'm the first to admit -- thank god we didn't play the Colts. Andrew Luck and backup Matt Hasselbeck scored TD's on each of their 7 passes at the 1 yard line in 2014. For comparison, next closest were Rivers (4/4), Carr (5/6), and...

Congratulations to the Patriots! Belichick started the game as the only person to coach in 9 Super Bowls. Likewise, Brady started as the player with the most Super Bowl games, tied with one other player. Belichick’s record of six Super Bowl appearances as a head coach and 4-2 record is better...

delete, sick of deflategate :)
