"McNally is a part-time employee who was hired by The Kraft Group, a company owned by Patriots owners Robert Kraft. Kelly Way, the director of operations for TeamOps at Gillette Stadium, said NFL game-day employees are paid by The Kraft Group. McNally is not listed in the Patriots' main switchboard directory." Shocking. Poof. _
You have to like Grigson. He made a dumb trade for Trent Richardson but he's a very good GM and a confirmed Patriots hater. And he has good reason to be.
T-minus ... 10 ... 9 ... 8 ... 7 ... ... before the legion of Cheaties trolls spend 29 pages explaining how an 11 year-old Kansas City Chiefs ballboy handed a "non-approved" ball to an official in December 1969.
So if this is no big deal with the NFL, why are the Pats fighting it so hard? Why deny it? Why claim Immaculate Deflation? Or the refs did it? Jerry Rice cheats too? Or the league is out to get us? Or the rogue ball boy with the prostate issue? Just come clean like the Browns GM. Instead, they lie, deflect, blame, hypothesize, and conjure up these incredible stories. If it's no big deal, just tell the world what you did. I still believe the NFL is being thorough and that they are taking this seriously. I still believe the Pats are going to get smacked hard because this is not a first offense and they have defiantly lied about their cheating ways. Regardless, I have nothing but a complete lack of respect for anything that organization has ever accomplished. They epitomize everything that is bad about sports. Cheating, lying, murderous scum.
Whoa whoa whoa the league has never checked PSI in game before. And they never kept copious records of their not checking PSI either. Let's not leave out that little piece of non evidence that's never been checked before ever. If it's never been checked, you can not convect. _
"We didn't do it ... but it would be totally okay if we did. And also, everybody else did something bad, too. The end."
It's like they hired Hernandez's legal team to defend them against what they claim is a jaywalking ticket, that they were entrapped into, and could be explained away by natural circumstances (i.e. A gust of wind blew me across the street).
After Hernandez had previously been convicted of vehicular manslaughter and been accused of arson, burglary and beastiality on numerous occasions. _
Please tell me the advantage of using a 1 kicking and 11 team balls. One play the ball used is broken in and the next ball isn't? It's much more likely that they used the wrong ball. A kicking ball is provided by the NFL before the game. Gostkowski and every other kicker in the NFL like the footballs as hard as possible. This seems to go against everything else that had been said.
Oh so now WE have to prove intent? How do WE know why the Patiriots continue to do things against the rules. How about your team just doesn't fuck around with ANY footballs. _
Read the ESPN article. It looks like he was giving the ball to the attendant who is in charge of the kicking balls, not the offensive balls. What would the advantage be in the kicking game? I can't think of any advantage and it's much more likely (10x) that it was a mistake. But I look forward to you all blowing this significantly out of proportion. Just remember, you will look like fools when you're wrong.
I can't think of any advantage to taping signals or taping walk throughs or deflating footballs or turning off head sets but your team still did all that too. And by the way, the only fools here are the ones that need to continue to come back here and defend yet ANOTHER fuck up by your franchise. _
Another? You mean like having 11 footballs more than 2 lbs under the limit? Or is that fact on these boards, too? Keep clinging, but it's only going to hurt more when nothing is proven.
It's now not only Brady cheating but also Ryan Allen and Stephen Gostkowski. Systematic cheating by the Patriots, what will we tell the children?
Hey if you don't want to talk about it, feel free to stay over on Patsfag.com. Or don't click on the thread. But you are compelled to defend your cheating franchise, I suspect. _
