NFL.com said the Pats should trade for Jared Allen

[Joker]

NFL.com did NOT report THIS...not one little bit...when it occurred...NFL.com let innuendo, lies and libelous columns run rampant on their "objective" site...

Goodell, in his previously scheduled news conference Friday from Phoenix, said, "I am more than willing to speak with the senator. There are very good explanations why the tapes were destroyed by our staff -- there was no purpose for them."

There were six tapes, according to Goodell -- some from the 2007 preseason and the rest from 2006. He said he had them destroyed because he was confident the Patriots had turned over all of the tapes and notes the NFL had requested in its investigation. He also said they were destroyed in order to prevent leaks to the media -- as some footage from one of the tapes was leaked shortly after the story broke.

"We wanted to take and destroy that information," Goodell said. "They may have collected it within the rules, but we couldn't determine that. So we felt that it should be destroyed."

Belichick had little to add on the subject.

"It's a league matter," he said Friday during his news conference. "I don't know anything about it."

Zippity Doo Dah NOTHING from NFL.com on this...

so NOW I'm supposed to believe THIS happy horsesh!t column on Jared Allen and the Patriots???? From the worldwide leaders in NFL news who have gone out of their way, along with FESPN and NFLN to slander and libel the Patriots organization, unabashedly and unashamedly, NEVER issuing one apology for their egregious and totally disingenuous "reporting" over the past five years?

I'll eat a sweaty old Kurt Warner Rams cap and donate a grand to whatever phony quasi religious scam he's running with his Stepford wife if the Patriots sign Jared Allen....and that goes double for the rat ba$tard, smarmy little "knife in the back" artist , B!tch Eisen.

What trade would you like to see before the 2012 season? - NFL.com



This sounds... conceivable!

Could it happen?

1. Getting JA for a 3rd and 4th would be grand theft auto.
2. Jets, errr NFL commissioner Goodell would block the trade 'for the good of the game'.
3. The Vikings would have to be really dumb to agree to this deal.
4. JA isn't very freaking likely to take a paycut coming off his best season ever.
5. Nice dream though. ^_^ Can we also get Demarcus Ware for a 2nd and a 5th round pick while we are at it?

This is your brain. This is your brain on...

 

[Fencer]

What picks did the Vikings trade to get Allen?
When did they trade these picks?

 

[Joker]

This is my brain...on Patriot rage

I will NEVER forgive nor EVER forget what this little corporate slug did...and what HE thinks will eventually go away as far as seething acrimony is concerned.

He's made a very poor judgement...Patriot fans and hard working New Englanders DESERVE to know WHY, the REAL REASON WHY, he pulled what he did and then went witness protection afterwards.

Now, I've already demonstrated that someone (what is the motive?) changed his work history in his bio....after I posted on the INTERNET, the World Wide web, that he was FIRST a Jet employee, THEN hired as an intern in the NFL offices. The change was ludicrous...he was an employee of the NFL offices first...THEN worked for the Jets as a gofer...THEN returned to the NFL...presto!...the road to commissionership!!!

Tin foil hat Joker?...no...Google. Search Omissioner Jetdell and you get hundreds of links to this board and others...read by the entire WORLD...which means, read by corporate gofers working their way up doing the little dirty jobs like checking on who is saying dirt about the big boss.Someone ran across the Goodell work history timeline, could easily see the tie in from Jet employee---->NFL offices-------->NFL Commisoner----->ridiculous witch hunt conflagration taken out on HIS first employer's main roadblock to NFL success. THAT is why the stupid, kneejerk edit took place...otherwise,the original timeline DOES RAISE the conflict of interest question. The fact that Goodell seems satisfied that the NFL-->Jets-->NFL edit has done the job erasing any more questions shows he's either a complete megalomaniac or a moron.

and before anyone says anything about this ONE instance, I would ask you try to find the OUTRIGHT LIES done segment by segment on NFLN and ESPN..start with the ridiculous Schlereth "scientific explanation" whereupon he shows how the camera takes these pictures and then these pictures are rushed up to the super secret decoder room, then decoded by a team of spy coaches, the signals decoded , broken down, collated and then sent to the sideline enabling the Patriots to win by a field goal.

I saw it....the whole ESPN/NFLN viewing public saw this...over and over and over, every day for a month straight. Try to find this now...try to get ESPN or NFLN or Schlereth or Merrill Hoge to even acknowledge they did these preposterous hit pieces that were total bullbleep prevarications.

Video no longer available
Video not found

The NFL is big business...all these people have a major stake in the continuing success of this golden cow....so what if outright lies, libels, avalanches of slanders, character assassination, and B movie "how they did it!!!" sound bytes play day and night for however long a willing public will blindly eat it up....do whatever it takes by whatever means to keep the money machine pumping out billions...THAT is the Golden Goodell Rule.

2014...Goodellocaust...a fixed NYG/NYJ Super Bowl played in NJ....let's see the little corporate mice try to white out THAT prediction.

What picks did the Vikings trade to get Allen?
When did they trade these picks?

Just for the record, since I couldn't remember myself; from Wikipedia:

On April 22, 2008, the Chiefs traded Allen to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for a first-round pick, which they used to select OT Branden Albert, and two third-round picks, one of which was used to take Jamaal Charles, and swapped sixth-round picks in the 2008 NFL Draft.

"You just played for the worst team in football, You can come here to one of the best but you have to fit into our salary structure"

See two can play at that game.


I would think the real reason this would be unlikely is that a few trades the past few years has left us short on draft picks and we all know BB loves to stockpile them. This alone is not enough but then add in the fact that Carter is on the street and could be had for a tenth of the price and put up good sack totals in less games (assumption as I dont know off the top of my head if Allen missed any action).

I would certainly welcome it but I doubt everything lines up for this one to happen. Allen needs to agree to a lot less, the Vikes need to agree to a 3 and 4 (which I would like to think they might be able to do better), the Patriots would need to be willing to give that up (not sure they would want to give up two picks instead I could see them going with one 2 instead).

One can hope but I see this as a very long shot.

This is just my opinion, but the idea that professional athletes will forfeit huge sums of money to move from a loser to a winner is one of the most pervasive myths around. Sure, guys very near the end who are free agents will often opt for going to a winner for less money. But, those at the top of their games, like Allen, aren't going anywhere for 50-75 cents on the dollar. A few years ago, there was rampant specualtion that Julius Peppers would do it. He didn't and I knew he wouldn't. These guys are proud people who have a strong desire to win. As humans, however, they understandably have a stronger desire to be as rich as possible.

Why would Allen want to make less money playing part time when he clearly still has his pass rushing skills? Makes no sense.

If Allen was on the trading block, wouldnt the Vikings want to fetch the highest price they could get? Odds are that a 2013 NE 2nd is almost a high 3rd. Surely the Viking would have better offers than NEs from teams needing a full time 4 - 3 DE.

 

[signbabybrady]

Where are we short of draft picks?.....don't we have 1-4 for 2013,2014?.......did BB trade away high future draft choices,when I wasn't looking?

Explain please

Does the draft end in the 4th round now?

I never said he would instead I used it a reason this is a longshot.

I figured you would because if I didn't look at the user name, I would have sswore you wrote it . Or could it be that you post under 2 different accounts?

 

[SHOWTIME15]

problem with this is that the vikings are getting a new stadium, not sure they want to trade what is probably their only marquee defensive player

 

[italia44]

Does the draft end in the 4th round now?

I didn't consider low round draft choices relevant to this trade.....unless you think 2-5's,2-6's and 2-7's would work

 

[IllegalContact]

it might have been slightly less nonsensical to do consider this before the draft, but only slightly

 

[signbabybrady]

No I wasnt thinking you could get him for a lower pick but with two picks already missing from next years draft BB would probably be hesitant to give up 2 more. And I actually said he might be more willing to part with a single two than a 3 and a four.

well, sure, but we're only trading for him as a part time player, so we'd only be paying half as much.
