Boycott Tomase WEEI

[ivanvamp]

I still think BB's interpretation of the rule was defensible, otherwise why is the phrase "used during the game" there at all?

I distinctly remember Goodell saying that he didn't believe BB's explanation, while Goodell DID believe Rex Ryan's and Mike Westhoff's explanation that they were not aware of the coaches lining up in a gauntlet on their sidelines in the Tripgate investigation.

Interestingly, Mike Westhoff's defense was "the Pats do it too", so apparently he was able to recognize an identical activity on another team's sidelines while being completely unaware of it happening on the sidelines of the team he actually coaches.

So it all came down to selective enforcement of these two issues, based on the subjective viewpoint of a highly biased arbiter.

Do you have a link for that? Because I'd love to see that.

Do you have a link for that? Because I'd love to see that.

It was a video clip where I distinctly remember Goodell being asked about BB's actions based on his interpretation of the rule and Goodell said "I didn't believe him".

I don't remember where I saw it though.

Isn't that what he said about Tom as well? "Not believable"?

How many more Lombardis would they have if Goodell weren't the commissioner? At least two?

 

[BlueThunder]

Wait... I shunned him long ago... I'm confused...



Did we un-shun him? Is this a re-shun?

Atten shun...this is an Addi shunal shun to the to the Original shun.....

WEEI is trying to tap into the Felger & Maz "Hate on the Home team" equals good ratings.

Felger & Maz are total clowns, who love to hate on the home team because they have had ratings success in doing it.

The two of them are totally clueless on football. A couple years ago Felger said Belichick was slipping & he thought the Harbaughs were now the two best coaches in the NFL.

If you or I were as wrong as often as Felger at our job. We would be dining at the local soup kitchen tonight.

There is nobody more hated than Tomasse, so WEEI is using him for hate ratings until the can bring back Larry Johnson & Craig Mustards for their version of Yankee talk during the baseball season.

Incognito mode doesn't prevent the server side from storing data; it just doesn't store data on your computer.

I understand that, but I have never had a newspaper site cut me off when using incognito.

 

[pheenix11]

I despise this POS. Every time I see a ****ty clickbaity article posted on WEEI on Facebook I say to myself, lemme guess, Tomase.

Never fails.

It wasn't about the taping it was about camera placement. In fact the Jets could have legally taped the Patriots signals during the same game and probably did.

In the old Jet stadium the camera booths were located on the opposite side of the Patriots sideline so it would have been impossible for BB to have a camera located with the same filming advantage as the jets had during that game.

BB ignored a memo about camera placement on the sidelines which wasn't a "rule" and Spygate was born.

Taping the opposing team's sidelines still may be legal today. Not sure how helpful it would be trying to memorize hand signals though.

They like to say that deflategate was a makeup call for spygate but both should have been frivolous in house type issues but the Puppet and a few of his owners decided to take the Pats down a notch.

The popular national consensus is that the Patriots would never have won anything without the Tuck Rule, which they invented, advocated for and applied themselves surreptitiously.

And that their illegal videotaping is solely responsible for their ever winning anything.

And that the destruction of the team's logo and uniforms was a wise, appropriate, and justified action and that they had no identity, history, heritage or tradition; that the team is essentially second-class citizens, unworthy of having their historic look out on the field with their opponents, several of whom also have long or even longer histories with their logos and uniforms.

And that old Foxboro Stadium was crumbling far, far, worse than say, Cleveland's Municipal Stadium was when Modell moved.

And on and on...

And that the Patriots' on field record was worse than over a dozen other team's, which in fact are.

And that one day several African-American Patriots players suddenly morphed into perverts, making lewd gestures toward a woman pretending to be a reporter, later pretending to be a victim, who was miraculously able to identify specific assailants and their unconscionable acts, all while working and writing and reporting. After all, NOW, People magazine and Paul Tagliabie all said so, specifically that the Patriots "damaged the league", just like they did again in '07

And that the Patriots were involved in a huge drug scandal in 1986, while their opponents were all squeaky-clean.

And on and on...

I was in my car last weekend flipping channels on the radio and landed on 'EEI, where Tom-ass-ee was paired with Trenni BlondeWitch. I endured five seconds of hell fumbling for the dial.

Now, seriously, this is a prime example of the destructive, reckless dangers of media and broadcast irresponsibility. Tuney could have crashed and/or hurt himself badly. There needs to be a specific, unignorable method of blocking and issuing public warnings about programming that literally causes physical and psychological damage to the human ear. It should be federally required to have the ability to easily identify and block channels like that. It's worse than suddenly feeling a tarantula crawling up your leg inside your pants.

Is there anybody anywhere on planet Earth, if so possibly available on satellite radio, who is listenable regarding, oh, say, Boston sports?

Screw it, we should just set up our own communication link between ourselves on patsfans...I'd love chatting with you folks anyway...we'll use bluetooth, natch, when driving. But I do also want to publicly make the loud statement of the reality that Boston local sports radio stations suck.

Right now on NFL.com the latest Patriots related video from today has some idiot ex-NY Giants player saying "They've actually cheated, I mean they've looked at other teams practices" repeating the stupid Tomase fallacy.

It's obvious that Trenni is into scatology during her private hours.

WEEI has somewhat lost me after opting to not renew Chris Price's contract recently. Really disappointed to read about that, and it sounds like they're "going in a different direction" online. He's one of the best and that one really kind of stuns me...just an awful decision IMO.

Well its playoff time again and the Patriots are on their perennial Superbowl quest. Other teams over the past 20 years only sprinkle in a run every so often. Fans of those teams have to rationalize it all for survival. See their teams don't suck. The Pats cheated. Don't you get it? The local writers? They just trol for relevance. I honestly only even know Tomase still exists because of this time of year.

Yup. Hope he lands on his feedback somehere locally. Yet Tanguay and others still have a job.

 

[convertedpatsfan]

Considering I don't even live in the region, I probably shouldn't be getting so pissed off about this. But **** Tomase, what a waste of life. People like Tomase make even the most hardcore pro lifer accept abortion on a limited basis.

If you guys have Twitter or Facebook, don't forget to let the sponsors know you're boycotting them specifically because of Tomase on WEEI, where they are "preferred sponsors."

Skipped the US VA and the Kars for Kids Charity intentionally out of respect.

But the rest should know that if they want to support an anti-New England *******, they shouldn't expect any support from New England.

The internet is becoming TMZ style...it's awful. Not a big fan of the direction things seem to be headed and it's frustrating that the guys who write in-depth, really good stuff don't draw the same audience as the ones who write short but attention-grabbing style articles that do 10x the amount of reads. Seeing a guy like Chris get bounced is really, really disheartening and it's just too bad. But I agree, he's a talented guy, so hopefully he'll move on to bigger and better things.

Exactly. When, in Gods name, will people, pats fans included, understand this BS. There are 80,000 people in the stands with Cameras, Phones w/ Cameras, people with binoculars w/ pad and pencil. Anybody, forever and still, can see plays called and watch and record them. You watch the signal, you watch the play that follows that signal and write it down, record it on your phone or camera. And it's perfectly legal. Douche bags refuse to acknowledge and accept that. That's their excuse for getting their asses kicked. ... One word response. LOMBARDI!!!

I'll still never forget when Belichick went off and said just that during that epic Saturday press conference. There were no cameras behind closed doors, it happened right in front of everyone and as he also pointed out, other teams were also doing it yet people act like they were the only ones. Ridiculous
