Talking about it means you care!
Do you open the windows of your home and get on a megaphone and wake up the neighbors to tell your wife/girlfriend you love her?.....same thing

Everyone please follow my teammate ---> RT @PatrickChung25: @ochocinco how you forget already. Haha. A...D....D
But it is not Goddells right to help one team over others. It cdertainly isnt his job to decide what team is best for a player or player best for a team.Either way, I think Vick is doing more good than harm where he is at and if Goodell pushed him towards Philly I still don't consider it abusing his power. I don't think Vick would be able to help those teams without having the skill players that he has around him in Philly.
child please!
Do you donate your time and considerable amounts of money to charitable causes?Do you open the windows of your home and get on a megaphone and wake up the neighbors to tell your wife/girlfriend you love her?.....same thing
No one tops 85
If Twitter were a sport and there was a championship Chad would the undefeated champ for life.
When Chung starts to request a race against racehorses,maybe he gets closer...until then,nah
Do you donate your time and considerable amounts of money to charitable causes?
Maybe if the Steelers were the team they would have lost 2 1st rd picks and Cowher fined 1,000,000 instead.
You just said that people use Twitter because they're attention whores who insist on blasting things out publicly when they could just pick up the phone. Is that or is it not your opinion on the matter?
I've read all about the Spygate case, it comes down to what you think is cheating. The Patriots did something they shouldn't have. Whether or not that is your definition of cheating is up to you.
Do I think the fines were a bit steep? Yes.
But, that doesn't mean you have to scream bias, the plain and simple fact is that you don't know what would have happened if another team was reported first. Maybe if the Steelers were the team they would have lost 2 1st rd picks and Cowher fined 1,000,000 instead.
I said your time and considerable intimating YOU donate personally, not donations from others. Now that you answered that question should I assume you're an attention whore telling Patsfans you have a lolly jar in your store that directly funds Children With Cancer? What's the difference between ocho's tweet and your assertion?Yes,SPCA donations and I have a donations jar in my store for Children With Cancer by offering lollypops at 3 for $1 which all funding going directly to the foundation.
Next Question?
What about a penalty that goes uncalled? For example, the uncalled holding that happens on every single play.

The point is I don't give a flying rats arse how you lead your life or how ocho leads his life, as long as professionalism punctuates your core duties. You've taken a moral position on tweeting and nothing suggests it's detrimental to the performance of an NFL player.
We've seen when tweeting becomes a problem or causes an uproar. This is not one of those cases.
But you DIDN'T have to answer it, you could have said that's none of your business. That's called hypocrisy PATRIOTSFANINPA.First you asked a question,I didn't brag about my charitable stuff before nor do I need to just put it out there unnecessarily for the world to admire me or think I am nice guy...it was a question and I answered it ..and no,I don't wear any T-shirts proclaiming my good deeds.
If Goodell does something harsh like suspending Chad a game then it could matter......no chance of that happening..just sayin'
Those are called missed penalties. What do you call them?
Okay, this is a re-hash from a few years ago, but I'll play along.
I don't consider it cheating (at all)....... he was not using it for in-game "Hey guys, they are running this play next" or like the illegal taping of a "walk through" that we know NEVER HAPPENED.
As had been discussed. BB would tape from a spot that he was not allowed to by rule. He would (or more likely Ernie would), then take that tape after the game and analyze it to see if there were and "tendencies" or other things that could gleen from them to use at a later time.
Things like.......... When it's 3 and between 5-10 yards, Mangina ALWAYS comes with a full on blitz.... Having those "tendencies" certainty help, and could mean the difference in a game......... but the bottom-line...... they might not either. Mangina could just as easily go against tendencies and drop back into coverage.
BB wants to know everything about his opponent, which includes what tendencies the HC goes to in predictable spots. He was fined (and nailed with a draft pick) because the commish had sent out a memo that said DON'T EFFING TAPE FROM THE SIDELINES....... He essentially (and wrongly) thumbed his nose at the commish and said "I'll tape from the sidelines anyway".
Perhaps in your definition of the word........ that's "cheating". But to most sane people, it's not...... he didn't have the plays. He never recorded signals and miked them into the offense in real time. He never taped a walk through of the Rams.........
We've actually been through all this. Look it up man..... type spygate into the search function for the site.
I hope everyone can agree that the Patriots did something the league told them not to? Whether you call it cheating, breaking the rules, interpreting the rule wrong or something else, they did something the league didn't want them to.
No, again, this is incorrect. The league had a rule, and Belichick's argument was over interpretation of the rule. In the end, his interpretation of the rule was not the one that Goodell took.
That's not the same thing. If I tell you not to go outside, and you go out onto a screened-in patio that's attached to the house but is not actually part of the house, have you gone outside? There's not a true right/wrong answer.
The answer is "Maybe, depending upon who's interpretation you use". Same thing here. "Maybe, depending upon how you interpret 'a game'".
And before this goes any further, let me point out that I've repeatedly said that BB was wrong not to get clarification, since he was not going to be the final judge of the rule's meaning.
Dude, you should have stopped right there. Everything after that is your way to rationalize that it was okay to break the rule.
