Michael Silver says Patriots response 'insults our intelligence'

[RelocatedPatFan]

As long as he has good reasons as to why, maybe it's ok.

However, I doubt he'll offer up much in the way of serious rebuttal to the information provided. Probably resembles work too much and it's easier to stand on a taller platform and shout how evil the patriotsare and how delusional their fan base is.

Because...the majority is always right, right (regardless of truth)?

So in other words, Silver only read the Deflator and ESPN explainations and not the rest of the document that blow some really big holes in the Wells Report.

The rest of the report tho, its common sense attack on Wells' interpretation of the science, the actions of the NFL office both before, during and after the game with the leaks, the explanation of how McNally walked from the officiating room, all of these are certainly a compliment to our intelligence--and a detraction from Silver and everyone else who denies.

In Silver's defense, I wouldn't say that the "Deflator" explanation is exactly a compliment to our intelligence.

Even if you don't believe it, at least they cited another text that actually provided some basis and CONTEXT to the deflator comment, which already puts them one step above the Wells Report.

Can't put Silver and intelligence in same sentence, might get it mixed up thinkin he has a clue about anything.

So intelligent people prefer Ted Wells to make up what something means rather than ask the person who said it?

But this deflator thing is just proving what the biased media is about. They are gonna nitpick that explanation apart to act like the Patriots response is a joke and not credible and then ignore all the great points made and how it casts doubt on wells report but then they treat the wells report as if God himself came down from the heavens and wrote the report.

Wait...isn't he the idiot who printed a few years back absolute nonsense about Brady's contract and what Brady's thoughts back then??

I lost all respect for him because he was supposed to be close to Brady's inner circle.

I know silver is stupid but he has unfortunately the voice in the media. I just hate that fact that he is what people are hearing.

Yup, ever since that got blown out of the water he pretty much became a professional troll re: anything Pats-related.

If somebody hasn't read the site, they've probably seen it be misreported. It's presented as wordplay -- balls get deflated and inflated in a process, and ALSO the guy is shrinking due to a diet. But articles suggest the Patriots are only offering the second explanation, which would indeed be silly.

 

[PatsGuy]

Silver has not been subtle in his bashing/casting blame on both Brady and the team. He was VERY critical of Yee's comments and even yesterday, during a one v one with Willie McGinist, attempting to get Willie to publicly say the Brady was guilty.

 

[DarrylS]

Silver, Breer, Faulk.... the vaccinations/indoctrinations that they got when they went to NFL Network and NFL.COM.. all have lead to inflated views of themselves and faulty thought processes...

How bout the Nobel Laureate in Chemistry blowing away the 'science' of Wells and establishimg that scientifically the balls weren't deflated IOW everything else is irrelevant.

 

[TheBostonStraggler]

Member of the "media" assails Patriots' responses. Film at 11......

 

[Huckleberry1]

Silver flat out refuses to take any information that exonerates the Patriots and just keeps saying that the Patriots are guilty period.

Silver claims that suspending the employees means they are guilty but if they b didn't Silver would claim they are paying them off to stay quiet.

Would the Patriots suspend these guys if they were concerned that they would "go to ESPN" ?

 

[patman12]

No big surprise.

Maybe silver likes teds creativity in finding TB guilty with so little in the way of facts.

 

[Bobs My Uncle]

Silver already looks the part of a doofus and now he is sounding like a doofus. Not a good combination to live the rest of his life with.
