Ha, are you nuts? I realize I'm behind enemy lines here. I make every attempt to stay out of the x-gate discussions and even attempt to post comments that even if pro-Jet or anti-Pat, still poke fun at the Jets or give credit when due to the Pats.
These x-gate discussions are off limits. Non-winnable situations for me. Even if some would appreciate a discussion, I'd be torn to shreds by the masses.
My earlier post in this thread was meant to be somewhat funny. Like a dude with sunglasses, sitting back watching all the x-gate stuff, expressionless and like Big Brother or as some like to call it, the NYJFL.
But I will say tripgate wasn't a thing. Or at least not a "gate". It was a complete dumbass tripping a player on live TV with 80k fans watching in person, 15 HD cameras focused on him and probably a blimp cam too broadcasting to millions at home. That doesn't qualify as a "gate". It's a f#%#in ******. No need for investigation.
In terms of cheating, IF (big IF) any of the x-gates are legitimate (and I'm not giving my opinion either way), I'm freakin' jealous the Pats know how to cheat well with deniability that actually results in benefits. While the Jets version is the dumbest and most ridiculous form of cheating I've ever seen.
Note to the Jets: If you're gonna cheat, do it well damn it!
You mean like losing a 1st, then losing a 1st (or any other 1st you get cause you are smarter than me) because owners felt your toadie took it easy on the pats for filming hand signals made in front of 80k people (you know, like how 80k people saw your team cheat with 0 repercussion?)? Which your scum bag team did later without repercussions? Btw, I'm not the masses, just the facts.
Hey, more facts! Supposedly Pats got hammered on "spygate" for ignoring league memos. Jets recieved memo (chiefs just got hammered for less) re maclin. Then dumb ass, silver spoon, ****** woody quotes the tampering example on tape. The same day the pats file a complaint with the league (mid day before the Colts affccg beat down), the league spins this horse **** (deflategate), with half wit kensil, some of NYJ's finest, exclaiming "We ****ing got you now!" Or however he professionally dropped that f bomb.
Now, the NYJFLFO has gone from psi recording, to protocol ensuring, while blatantly lying about the fact there were "infractions" of both. Before the afc divisional game (pats v chiefs) the officials FORGOT THE ****ING FOOTBALLS AT THE HOTEL. THEY NEEDED A MASS STATE POLICE ESCORT TO GET THE BALLS THERE FOR KICKOFF. Protocol breached. That NFC playoff game at 0 or below or whatever...yeah, those balls were definately below 12.
Again, I am not the masses, but the facts. We could talk about the NYJFLFO lawyers making false statements to the court, but that's above your pay grade.
I think it's about time to scream "MA! Meatloaf! ****!"
....all that said, you seem like a reasonable guy....
Edit: Thought I'd add this, since you are a green bean:
Your limp ****, broken jawed team blatantly tampered with Maclin. You recieved a written warning. The Chiefs contacted him during the "legal tampering period." They got hammered (what a 3rd and something else). But we aren't done with the jets this year. See above mentioned Revis tampering. You know, as the pats were heading to the playoffs, AGAIN. IE, UNDER CONTRACT, IN SEASON, IGNORING A PERSONAL NOTE TO KNOCK IT THE **** OFF. Can anyone name such an egregious tampering violation previously? I can't remember off hand if the Briggs example was IN SEASON or not.
...You get your meatloaf yet?
