None of that makes what the P*ts did legal. Sal Alosi was suspended for the entire remainder of the season by the Jets, not the league, the league only fined the Jets. I don't remember, did the P*ts suspend Belichick after Spygate? Have they suspended Brady for his involvement in deflategate? Integrity, it's a relative unknown in New England.
Lol I thought it was an asterisk at first, that thing needs to be shopped, maybe if I have some time later
You're missing my point. Brady got caught and was suspended. He got what he deserved. My point is, teams in the NFL will do whatever they need to do to win. If you get caught, then you deserve the consequences of said actions.
I don't think I'm missing your point, and I'm pretty sure I'm right about the Pats thing. "Wrecks" is a term that is commonly used on Patsfans.com and I've seen you use it before, I really do think you are a Pats fan but maybe I'll be wrong about that
I agree that cheating is the norm in the NFL. Who says it's trivial. But the Jets fired Alosi. They didn't defiantly deny it. Blake was with the Jets for a cup of coffee. He isn't Brady. Your team lies about it and is basically calling the NFL the liars and cheaters. Instead of admitting it, apologizing and saying it won't happen again. If that had been the case probably only a 4th rounder, Brady gets a game at most and NEP gets a much smaller fine. I hope Roger socks it to them but it could seriously go to federal court.
And Sal Alosi was punished by the organization in which he was working for, the Jets didn't come up with some lame excuse. They accepted the embarrassment of what happened and they fired Alosi. They didn't have meetings with him and they certainly didn't try and make a mockery of the NFLby demanding some sort of conspiracy was in place. Have the Pats fired these 2 ball boys? Nope they haven't Jeff Blake, Blake threw 9 fucking passes as a member of the Jets and he was only a Jet for one season, his rookie season. I doubt seriously he was paying anybody as a member of the Jets to do anything for him.
More Kraft whining to his mouthpiece Peter King: http://mmqb.si.com/2015/05/18/robert-kraft-patriots-owner-nfl-deflategate/
Good God.... the bullshit out of this man's mouth is comical “If they want to penalize us because there’s an aroma around this? That’s what this feels like. If you don’t have the so-called smoking gun, it really is frustrating. And they don’t have it. This thing never should have risen to this level.” Asked why he suspended club employees John Jastremski and Jim McNally despite fiercely proclaiming his organization’s innocence, Kraft refused comment—for what he claimed were a variety of reasons Ummm yeah, no smoking gun because Brady refused to cooperate and the Pats attempted to block the investigation in any way they could. There very possibly is a smoking gun and the lack of cooperation by the Pats and Brady could be hiding it.
I read most of it and it's annoying to say the least. He says Brady's never lied to him in 17 years. He kind of said the same thing about AH in court and it was his testimony that jury members said they were most moved by. It helped to convict him. To me he's distancing himself from any culpability by saying he trusts people. Hard to believe Brady is that honest. That he would never lie to his boss. Or that Kraft is that vulnerable.
Kraft is so hypocritical. "There is just no evidence that tampering ever happened”, yet he can't explain why Jastremski and McNally have been indefinitely suspended? And no evidence my ass - The texts, "The Deflator", the needle comments, Brady's love of deflated balls, the stolen footballs, the trip to the bathroom, the psi levels, the cover-up afterwards, the refusal to cooperate - both Brady and organizationally. I understand that he has chosen to unconditionally support Brady, but he's got to accept some measure of accountability for this mess, and at least hang McNally and Jastremski out to dry.
The Title of this article makes me laugh http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2015/05/patriots_owner_robert_kraft_on_tom_brady_deflatega.html "Patriots owner Robert Kraft: Tom Brady told me he's innocent" So did Aaron Hernandez!!
Kraft won't admit any culpability, he actually said:"if you want to penalize us because there's an aroma around this..." Yeah, the aroma is: you stink!
Brady is lying to Kraft. AH lied to KRaft. Kraft has used TB for 15 years to squeeze and underpay him. Now that TB got 4, TB is going to protect TB and (quite wrongly) things are going to end badly for TB and Kraft (in the eyes of the other 31 owners)
You know what's worse than the cheating incident? The incessant whining, high brow douchery, and overall whining displayed by not only pats fans but the pats themselves. They have reached new lows of classless. Listening to them whine and then try and justify it all with the comments they've made ranging the entire spectrum of stupidity has me just baffled. Then there's the page "yourteamcheats.com" which pats fans love to spew around. Yes, let's take a page built by Pats fans in their futile, pathetic and downright classless attempt to protect their cheating fanbase as a source of info. Birds of a feather as they say.
yeah I smell the aroma...and it's the nonstop stream of bullshit coming out of the pats organization and their fans.
