"Are we going to destroy all this greatness this man has done over P S I???"

 

[SuperStang83]

Tell'em Mikey!!! He has been a staunch defender of the OG for a while!!

 

[RobertWeathers]

I called it!!!!

Only a matter of time until Deacon Moss comes to TB12's defense.

He is compelled by God to come to TB12's aid in his time of need.

Great interview. Even asks how the football after 1 game the football was 16PSI.

 

[Foxypats]

Good for him. Where is Deion? Sanders has always been an ally of the Patriots, wonder what his feelings are?

 

[FrodoBagginz]

I'm guessing Irvin and Aikman are not good friends.

 

[PATS16N0]

I really like Irving, man. He's just great.

Also, I like Deon. I remember when Deon was asked what he thought about Framegate, Deon said "I think one team lost bad and didn't want to go home."

 

[IllegalContact]

who cares about who's an ally and who isn't

the bottom line is that there's not much substance to any of it

the league itself was who derailed this from the very first moment....if it was about integrity of the game , then why wasn't this fully addressed BEFORE the AFCC? there is no integrity in the league office, so they should not complain

I agree but any pro-Patriot/Brady or anti-NFL mouthpiece helps the public opinion battle.

As sad as it is, some do value what Michael Irvin thinks.

 

[Bruins29]

But saying PSI shouldnt matter isnt the same as saying there was no tampering. I feel like some of this rah rah stuff is people implying that something happened but "so what"

I would like to see the focus shift to the NFL where there is a real problem and definitive proof of cheating and dishonesty. Pats and TB dont need defending. The NFL needs assaulting.

 

[RhodyPatriot]

Love Michael and love Deion Sander too. I always think of them as a pair because they're such good friends. Both those guys more often than not have the Patriots back

Sports media is largely a cesspool. Most ex-athletes aren't exactly known for their cognitive reasoning ability, the non ex-athlete "journalists" have examples like Borges, CHB, Tomase, Felger who can put out whatever jibberish they want and never get fired for the quality of the content, and the execs are driven entirely and exclusively by drumming up emotions and getting views or clicks.

However, give credit where credit is due within the cesspool. Irvin may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but he is one of the precious few guys that try to give analysis without grinding an axe. I don't recall ever seeing irvin on TV panning someone or something because of underlying feelings of dislike, envy or anger. Brother, in the yellow journalism, clicks at any cost, grinding the axes down to the nub business of the NFL media it is worth noting someone like Irvin.

Its my belief that is why ESPN didn't renew his deal.

Yea but they obviously used the savings from not renewing Irvin to beef up the acuity of their Legal Analysis team

 

[SalemPats]

The reason is because they are elite and understand what it takes to be a champion. Even though they are flashy, they do not have an ego. Irvin always speaks of his respect and reverance of Aikman, Emmit and now Dez Bryant. Rather than being jealous of a guy like Dez he wants him to be better. As for Deion, he has taken his role as an NFL icon to be a role model and leader for young athletes.
They respect Brady and the Patriots.

As for guys like Faulk and Warner, they always feel slighted. Like they deserved another championship and more accolades. They are jealous of our greatness.

 

[Gronkowski123]

always loved irvin. he's always defended tb12. same with primetime sanders

 

[JMC00]

That's because they thought they were gonna show up to SB 36 and just be handed the Lombardi. So they cling to these things to make themselves feel better.

I hope Willie Mac is Warren Sapp's replacement on the GameDay panel.

who cares about public opinion.....the only thing that makes a pats game better is a win

the only things that make them worse is a loss or an injury

I listened to Chris Simms foaming on the radio yesterday about Brady and I had great difficulty giving a crap.....the envy was pathetic

 

[ANGR89]

I heard Damion Woody on radio yesterday after pats released rebuttal. He made me want to puke...and the bad thing is one, he obviously didn't read whole report was just going off of the "ridiculous weight loss" part, wasn't talking about any of the other great points made in there. He was laughing like a idiot and the bad part is he uses the "I was once a patriot" angle to make people think he's believable and wouldn't lie. Why is there not more people pointing out the obvious flaws the rebuttal pointed out in wells report, all the twisted comments and stuff left out? Why can't a big voice come out and acknowledge this? The biggest I heard was Peter King and that was only on radio.

Wasn't Simms the same guy who said that Brady was nothing special a few years ago?

Jealousy is an ugly thing.
