This is like everyone having to take their shoes off before boarding an airplane. Who ever thought someone would try to put a bomb in their shoes before some jackass tried it? Screwed it up for the rest of us. Who thought you'd need to measure the PSI of footballs before some jackasses tried it? _
The fumble argument is so bogus. The Pats didn't have the least number of fumbles in any of the last 4 seasons. 2014- 31st (13- 7 teams had 14 to 16) 2013- 9th (24) 2012- 28th (14- Tied with Ravens) 2011- 30th (13- Tied with Carolina, 5 other teams were between 14 and 16) People confuse fumbling with losing possession. It must be that the underinflated ball has a better chance at going back to the team that fumbled it.
Who said anything about placing last? 31st, 28th and 30th placed is pretty consistent ball retention.
Ah yes--let's just pick apart one of the arguments in isolation--fumbling--without context of all the rest of the other facts that lead to one and only one conclusion--cheating scumbags. I know, let's wait a few posts then maybe make an argument that the Pats would have beaten the Colts irrespective of illegal PSI. _
Looking forward to bumping this post when Brady is completely exonerated, and I'm not even slightly nervous about it. This thing is over.
Hey, at least he didn't (allegedly) kill the mother of his children, he only abandons them. Just like his coach.
They did have the least amount of fumbles 3 out of the last 8 years which is when the rule change went into effect. They did have a significant drop in fumble rate as soon as the rule change went into effect. They did have the least amount of fumbles since the rule change went into effect. Oh and the rule change that went into effect, initiated by Br*dy
The Players Union reportedly offered a compromise deal where he pays a stiff fine but no suspension. Which it looks like Goodell didn't even reply to. So why pay a fine if he's going to be exonerated. Can't wait to see him cross examined in court. And under oath.
There is plenty of data: http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/11754/benjarvus-green-ellis 0 fumbles his entire Pats career, 5 in two seasons with the Bengals
Tom Brady is a shit bag. He is the definition of shit bag. Motherfucking, cheating, lying bastard. I hate that these guys are in our division. It just feels dirty to play with them. Lying, cheating, motherfucking low lives.
I recommend you strap a TNT vest around yourself and walk into Foxboro during the preseason and REALLY make this thing over. Allahu Akhbar.
