This argument sounds funny coming from someone who is only a "winner by association." You're not even a real member of the team, you just throw on a Pats jersey and pretend their victories are relevant to yourself. The only person winning a participation trophy is you, and all the people that will blindly defend blatant cheaters because they feel admitting otherwise diminishes their sense of worth.
Just to pause the video for a second here, you're posting that to me on a Jets fan club message board.
Hey wait a second, I thought you said you were some highly educated company owner. You don't even know how to spell asterisk.
It's just a metaphor, didn't you know that? Any bullshit thing he says is an obviously intended metaphor.
He lost a year of his life? You mean he had to stay home and be with his family. A year of his career is more accurate.
I doubt you could even sweep a floor well, you probably do a mid level job at a middling performance and try to boost your self esteem by latching onto a football team that makes you feel better about yourself. And now you need to defend that which serves as a perceived barrier between you and mediocrity
The Jets culture is built around being the New York Jets, the team that attracts Jet-obsessed Patriots fans at 11:3o p.m. on a Monday night. Here's your ribbon: Former NFL GM Charlie Casserly: "The Patriots got off too easily."
That explains why you live vicariously through the Patriots and go on other team's forum boards defending them even when they have been caught with their hands dirty.
One thing he said that I agree with is the clown shoes part. Goodell pushed the team punishment off on Vincent and also made it seem like Br*dy's punishment was on Vincent when only Goodell can punish players. If he had taken the entire thing upon himself he would have been forced to be much more harsh due to the precedent he set with BountyGate. You P*ts f*ns should be thanking your lucky stars
In my opinion, Brady is guilty. Not turning over his texts seals it for me. That being said, I think the offense is minor at best. Equivalent to throwing a spitball in baseball or having a little too much curve in your hockey stick. The fact that teams are allowed to use there own balls is laughable to me. Why would that even be allowed? In my Nfl, the refs have a supply of 20-30 balls and they introduce them into play. You play with the ball the ref gives you period. They gave into the QB's because as always, the league wants to promote offense and fantasy football numbers. It's all part of the pussification of the NFL. Penalty for Brady should have been one game and a fine. Anybody that thinks the pound of pressure influenced one single game just hates the Patriots.
The way I understand it Goodell makes the final decision. Vincent coordinates things and is a consultant to Roger. As for asterisks there shouldn't be any. Unless you have proof that he was deflating balls in all 4 SBs they won. You know he didn't do it in 2015. But even if they did deflate balls in previous years it's not a big enough factor to change anything. There is no way to prove this is anything but a minor variable one among many. As a Jets fan I'm ecstatic about the penalties esp the million bucks and the draft picks.
You don't know why it's allowed for teams to use their own footballs? Because somebody lobbied for it. http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci_27381757/tom-brady-reached-out-peyton-manning-jake-plummer
According to you guys the only proof you will believe is video of the exact happening and then you'd probably say it was phony. So there is no proof you will accept. There was a 4 month study with a ton of circumstantial evidence. That was totally incriminating. There is no doubt Brady and the attendants did it. This is not even an issue. As for a sting. What did you want the NFL to do. Tip off the Patriots. If they did it would have just meant that Kraft was getting favored treatment. The NFL didn't know this was true and they watched NEP to confirm. There was absolutely nothing wrong with this. They investigated it to see if the Colts allegations were true. How's about telling your team to stop the cheating already.
If the NFL was "watching " the Patriots in the AFCCG, how is it even possible that the refs didn't document the beginning pressures on paper at least and preferably on video?
Yea then I agree with you. Big props for being real about the verdict, if it was my QB it would have been a very bitter pill.
