Uh, I don't know. Perhaps "Don't cheat"? But you don't seem to care because you won the Super Bowl and everybody can suck it! The Pats have an unauthorized guy on the sideline trying to sneak an uninspected ball into the game and it's our responsibility to explain how that is an advantage? You tell us! Your team is the one that keeps getting caught and you're the ones glorifying this systematic cheating as The Patriot Way. There's an advantage there - otherwise, why is that fat fucker trying to sneak a ball past the ref? How about this - LEAVE THE FUCKING BALLS ALONE!
I'm just giving the benefit of the doubt for now. We really don't know what happen. From what we have heard so far it doesn't look good for the Pats.
@MarkDanielsPJ After one official noticed a ball was missing, he gave another ball to Patriots locker-room attendant Jim McNally. When the official, who stole the ball, noticed people knew, he also gave the ball back to Patriots locker-room attendant Jim McNally. So basically, Patriots locker-room attendant Jim McNally was handed two balls from officials during the AFC championship game
Another attempt to smear the Pats blows up in the league's face. And for those that likely or definitely want to call cover-up yet again... the sequence of events is all on video tape. Ex-Jets exec Kensil is so determined to try to bring the Pats down for whatever he can, he inadvertently made the league look bad showing they hired an official who was selling game balls for profit.
By implying that the Patriots tried to introduce an illegal kicking ball into the game which implies that the Patriots were using another avenue to cheat. This is going to blow up in the league's face, get out your popcorn.
We finally have a plausible explanation for why 11 of 12 footballs were under-pressurized. That just never made sense. Obviously the corrupt official stole an under-pressurized ball from the pool and then added a regulation pressurized ball back in later on.
I like when you can selectively decide which media leaks are able to be dismissed and which ones are attempts by the league to smear the Pats. Real cream of the crop intellects we have visiting from Pats nation
Right, Mort's report was total bullshit but Rapoport's report REFUTING Mort's report, well THAT report was reliable. _
Must be awesome to go through life without the ability to read (and understand what you just read) more than two lines of text at once. Still sticking to the original leaks then? As of today all of those were nothing but b.s. But hey, keep beating that drum. If you really really really believe it, maybe they did cheat!
Considering Mort and ESPN have backtracked off his report and Rapaports report has stood.... And as far as Shefter's report over the woman from ESPN, that's a no brainer. Shefter wouldn't risk his reputation by saying the league has video of the ball incident and fired the NFL official if he wasn't certain.
You can believe any report you want to and discount any report you want to. Doesn't make it so. But like Charlie said, it's interesting which reports Pats fans dismiss and which ones are meant to smear the Pats and really, which ones you'll accept as Gospel. And when I say "interesting" I really mean hypocritical. _
The whole premise of this latest attempt to make the Pats look bad was stupid before we even got any facts. A Pats attendant tries to get a non-league issued ball into the mix of kicking balls for the game so that what? So that there is a 50% chance (Pats and Colts use the same dozen kicking balls) the Pats would get that ball one time if they were in a kicking situation?
You had no real answer to what I posted so you wrote this bullshit so you can say you had the last word.
