I don't get why the Pats fans wants a new commissioner. A new commissioner is likely to be much tougher on teams that push the rules to the edge and past it. Goodell takes marching orders and provides a public lightning rod. He's not waking up one morning and saying, "Well, today I'm going to destroy evidence of the Patriots cheating and tomorrow I'm going to go after them." The owners direct him on what to do.
You know who else was the target of anonymous sources? Red Auerbach. The Garden had dead spots on the hardwood when you dribbled and only Celtics knew about them. The air conditioning never worked in the visitors locker room. The rims for the visiting team were always tighter than the Celtics basket. Maybe they even changed them at half time so that the home team got to shoot to the looser rim. You see, what usually happens in competitive team sports is that bad teams start to wonder why the same team is always on top. It can't be because of star players (Bird/McHale, Brady/Gronk), great coaching (K.C., B.B.) or great organization (Kraft, Auerbach). Nope, it's all deflated balls, bad floors, formations that are illegal (when they are not and other teams ran the same formation earlier in the same season) etc etc etc. And preparing for headset malfunction is not good preparation, it's cheating. Being prepared for every possible scenario and having HOF talent usually means that you end up on top. No matter what the situation is. And the longer you do it, the weirder the excuses get.
Auerbach did all those things.....players and coaches said so . The media was honest back then. They reported without interjecting their opinion and bias. He was also hated. And no one gives a shit about him today. He was a cheater in a lesser sense. Belicheat is the cheating master
So that's what we're calling it? Filming signs, filming walk throughs, stealing play scripts, deflating footballs? That's "being prepared"? _
You know how this jerkoff Langdon "prepares" for his tests now that he's in the 10th grade? He binge drinks like a typical masshole then writes the answers on the bottom of his shoes. _
It's called the napolean syndrome for Belichick.....a failed coach, so dead set on proving is success and worth that he resorted to an elaborate espionage standard operating procedure....under the guise of hard work, coaching em up and skills.............
Wow someone is incredibly butthurt considering i went out of my way to use language that specifically pointed out that these are allegations cannot be treated as facts. Also, basketball sucks so your entire post was a waste of time. thanks for coming out.
This kind of stuff happened in the NFL, too like with Shula against the Jets in the Mud Bowl. And I totally believe the Red Auerbach allegations. But it's 2015 not the 1970's and everything is under extreme scrutiny with cell phone cameras, social media and supposedly a more sophisticated league than it was in the past. Years ago JFK could go skinny dipping with starlets (when his wife wasn't around) and get away with it but now if Obama even looked at another woman (which he did one time and was ripped for-and he just looked) he can't get away with anything. So in the NFL there's rules and now because of your team and Tom Brady the Commish can't even suspend a player for conduct detrimental to the league or even to other players. And we saw the shenanigans don't stop with your team even on Thursday Night Football in front of the entire country.
The NFL's statement and downplay by Pittsburgh is a concerted effort to get that story off the main news page and not affect the games yesterday but you can bet its not getting ignored. The Steelers statement and the NFL's are totally a conflict. the fumble percentage is already up from the anomaly BTW
It's Napoleon. And I'm fairly certain there isn't a team anywhere that wouldn't get rid of their coach via floor mounted trap door if Belichick said he'd coach for them. But you're entertaining. At this point I literally am coming here just to watch the nonsensical shit you post because it's like being at a virtual zoo. The thread you started because a beauty pageant contestant was asked about Bill Belichick was actually priceless to me.
so I am watching notre dame... I see jonathan vilma on the half time show and say oh what happened to him. how did he end up on tv. went to his wiki page and saw he hasn't played really since 2013 and is pretty much done at this point. BUT I also read about the bullshit that asshole goodell put him through. my god this fucking guy is such a piece of garbage.
