I didn't come on here looking to post a resume... just responding. Existential crisis? Look - this is your board... if you need to go all internet gung ho on me then have at it.
D..you are probably right there..and Im wrong with that. That would really blow me out of the water..and be the right thing to do. Im saying the penalty after that will be huge..much bigger then what I thought they would do originally. But your thinking is correct. They cheated to get to the Superbowl...you are correct.
wow solid post serious question, what's more embarassing players with off field issues? or the head coach with cheating scandles? personally i think people make mistakes and deserve a second chance, but cheating? with zero remorse?
I agree with you, and the poster you quoted. Cheating is worse. Well... unless you're a murderer I guess. I'd hang out with Plax before Hernandez.
Here's my prediction right now--the ball boy did the act. Initially there will be denials it goes any further. Then, criminal charges are filed or threatened to be filed against the kid for defacing NFL property etc., then he flips and tells the whole story.
I think it could be Brady himself. It seems to me to be the most likely of anyone to do anything. I mean if they were tampered with after being inspected you'd think it was him that gave the direction.
The coach is not responsible for off-the-field issues. If you think about what it takes to be a football player at this level, it doesn't attract mild-mannered, law-abiding people. Football attracts ballsy, risk-taking testosterone-laden studs. Such men often make really bad decisions in their personal lives, and coaching isn't designed to address that. What bothers me about this is how petty this thing is. Guys, let's let some air out of the game balls after the refs have approved them for play! Tee hee! Nobody will know! And I can't believe some equipment manager did this on his own. He would have had a player (probably Brady, I regret to say) handling the ball each time a little air was let out until it suited him. This whole thing just reeks.
What the Saints did bordered on criminality. And if they didn't do it for a competitive advantage, why did they do it? To be mean? What the Pats did is just depressing. I want my team to win, but not like this.
LOLZ, from Patsfans.com Maybe kraft should talk lawsuits agsint ESPN, maybe that will get THEIR attention for once.
In that Patriots fans defense, there are plenty of Jets fans (on this forum) that live vicariously through the Jets as well, all fan bases have those people.
Wanting to know about accusations following your team going to the Super Bowl isn't living vicariously through them any more than any other fan with their team.
I just saw this... it would have to be TB. I've got a feeling he gets away with more nonsense than any of the other QB's because he's about a decade older than the rest of the NFL - and has personal relationships with refs and whatever else. What I'm wondering is if the balls were checked correctly before the game began - because if they weren't this whole story will blow over tomorrow. If the balls were altered it'll be a feeding frenzy and likely distraction leading up to a blowout in the SB.
