Ravens Fined

[NovaScotiaPatsFan]

Honestly I don't really give a crap either way, they didn't hurt any of the Pats so whatever, but I found it laughable when the league dude said "respecting the integrity of our game"

The same integrity that tries to hand every freakin game we play with the Dolts to them on a silver platter?

"Oh hey Pay, here's a 102 yard pass interference call, have a nice day!"

Considering what they fine for unbuckled chinstraps, it should have much more....

Apples and Oranges. An unbuckled chin strap is a concussion risk. That's a safety issue. Guys end up with brain damage due to multiple concussions. That's potentially way more serious.

"After the game, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady pointed out that there were "a lot of questionable calls and we made some plays" to win the game."

Did anyone interpret this as the writer inferring that Brady agreed with the Ravens' accusations? It isn't exactly clear that he was completely disagreeing with the Ravens.

When a player refers to "questionable calls" you can rest assured he's talking about the calls that went against his team, not the calls his team might have gotten a break on.

I don't like bad calls period. But I've had a chance to look at the calls in question and I honestly didn't see a bad one there in the last couple of minutes. If I thought it was a bad call I'll say that. I think Brady fumbled in the Snow Bowl game, but as for the letter of the law it was an incomplete pass. I just thought it was a stupid rule, of course I'm happy it turned out in our favor, but I think the rule is stupid.

As a sports fan I always say the Tuck call was payback for me for when my Beloved Quebec Nordiques got robbed in the 1995 NHL playoffs when Aleksei Kovalev took a dive.
