PATRIOTS NEWS Penalties being considered for the Pats - UPDATED 1/1/2020

[NJPatsfan26]

Times like this remind me of the movie Major League with the following lines:

Jake Taylor : [Jake stands up] Well then I guess there's only one thing left to do.

Roger Dorn : What's that?

Jake Taylor : Win the whole ****ing thing.


LETS GOOOOOOO

There's a reason I used the word "narrative" in my post. It doesn't matter how silly it is in fact. Only the narrative matters.

sick of my team being a target.

He's joking dawg.

sick of my team being a target.

When they are not good anymore, they won’t be a target

 

[SHOWTIME15]

This is a non-story. A couple of trolls are desperately trying to make it one. But it’s absolutely nonsense.

Bengals are trying to make it look like the Pats need to cheat to beat them...

 

[shmessy]

Yes, SB Guaranteed!

It's great that this is happening late in the season!!!

Spygate occurred too early, the anger on the team had worn off by the end of the season.

Deflategate was perfect - - The Pats actually smote the Legion of Boom

This is late enough to do the trick!

Leading story on the interwebs when you Google NFL. I dont go to BSPN and it was still the first 2 stories.

 

[reflexblue]

It actually feels kind of normal, and its definitely motivation.

 

[shmessy]

What you infer from the word spy is irrelevant to the word itself. The word has multiple definitions, and not all of them involve secrecy.

I .......just.......ummm...... you're one in a quadrillion, Deus.

[Tunescribe]

So what? Deflategate was also absolute nonsense. How did that turn out?

Cameragate (the first one) was absolute nonsense as well.

No, I think it was a good point. Some enterprising ESPN leftover remnant could actually attempt to make something of it.

Chatham's the MAN. He's like Zo, but with intelligence.

So for every newly misinformed NFL media member (or fan) who will attend a game next weekend, pull out your cellphone and tape the damn sideline. There’s nothing to see that would tell you anything. How you weren’t aware of this after all these years until now is on you...

Taking Diana Russini's journalism card away...........

?@chatham58
Is it responsible journalism to not delete a Twitter headline linking a column about “taping signals” when that means videotaping radio waves (there are no “signals” to tape)?

Or is the attitude ‘screw it, we’re getting big clicks & people are morons’ ???

It doesn't matter what Chatam says, people don't care. One single ESPN person is reporting the Patriots cheated, so they did. This story is growing legs and won't be going away anytime soon.

Perhaps I'm being overly cynical, but it seems too convenient for this to occur the way it has following the officiating debacle yesterday.

Not only does the NFL shift the discussion from the tragic officiating, but they are able to (yet again) portray the Pats as suspicious/dubious.

Had the Pats not been victims of the officials yesterday, would this story still have been handled/reported in the way it has been, from the league down through ESPN et al.?

The league has the ability to clarify the situation and they have chosen not to, so I interpret their silence as an intentional act for the purpose of allowing ambiguity and uncertainty to linger, effectively enabling the ESPN-related gossip to thrive and gain traction.

Story isnt growing legs until I get text messages from my anti patriot friends. Which I havent.

 

[denverpatsfan]

Pats are losing finally. The media will pile on until they are cooked.

I'm just thinking of the Richard Jewell movie as therapy for me at this point......

.

That movie is getting stellar reviews and I think it is a story that more people need to know. What happened to that guy is a travesty. I’m looking forward to seeing it.

Remember when the Colts’ crowd noise skipped? The NFL made a statement refuting it within a couple of hours. There’s no doubt the NFL is at the very least deliberately letting this linger.
