You still are (wrong, not 10) but I'm through wasting my time.
The lengths to which some Patriots fans are going to rationalize the team's rebuttal to all of this is what is truly absurd. What I'm reading from Pats fans here and elsewhere is what I'd expect to hear from someone in middle school, not fully functioning adults. It's blatantly obvious that it happened and Brady knew. At this point, just go all in on the "the punishment doesn't fit the crime" argument because that's pretty much the only one left that doesn't have all non-Patriots fans rolling their eyes.
Perhaps true, except it is actually consistent with the other reference in which he said, "Deflate and give somebody that jacket." Wells said that is a "possible suggestion to deflate footballs." Seriously? Deflate a football and give up your jacket. How does that make sense Ted? Anyone?
By contrast, "Lose weight and give somebody your over-sized jacket" actually makes sense.
Wells entire case is really based on that one "deflator" comment made in May of last year. It will take more than that to win a lawsuit.
All you need to realize that it happened and he knew were the text messages. And to be perfectly honest, I'm not going to give out a reasoned explanation because their "rebuttle" to those is absolutely laughable and reeks of BS. It actually made them look significantly more guilty by reaching to the lengths that they did to try to explain away what were pretty obvious references. I actually have trouble believing that any of you Patriots fans deep down believe that none of this is true and they were completely on the up and up.once you have read the patriots rebuttle, then please refute the points they made with well thought out counter arguments. I will be hear waiting to read them.
I've read the report and the Patriots rebuttal makes them look even more ridiculous than they did before.wow. we have a poster that actually read the report instead of the one page ESPN article. it's a miracle
...because he performed so poorly in the second half of Colts game....I have been a Dolphins fan since the late 60's, do I don't really care about the Pats. It mostly BS, but I'll be interested in seeing what happens to Brady's numbers once he returns from the suspension. He'll have to play with regulation balls, like it or not.
If he is close to his career average, fine. If not, I'll smile every time I see an asterisk on his stat sheet.
Disagree John. The Pats' rebuttal eviscerates the original reports. I'm starting to see some media commentators refer to the Wells report as "sketchy." That's not a good sign for those hoping the sanctions to remain in place.I've read the report and the Patriots rebuttal makes them look even more ridiculous than they did before.
Interesting analogy. Just curious, what happened with the PSU sanctions?This reminds me of Penn State fans after their scandal. Everyone outside of Penn State realized that JoePa and the school administration were at least partially at fault. All the Penn State fans convinced themselves of absolutely anything they could in an attempt to clear his name.
Which is not at all to say that the transgressions are even remotely equivalent, just the actions of the supporters.

The Patriots may not be innocent, but the possibility absolutely exists that the Wells Report frames a guilty man.
I'm not going to take the time to spell everything out to a dullard like you, it was already pointed out to you how absurd the Patriots claiming McNally calls himself the Deflator when he's trying to lose weight. If you're dumb enough to believe that nonsense, there is no sense in trying to explain anything to you.wow. we have a poster that actually read the report instead of the one page ESPN article. it's a m

The arguments have been explained as nauseam in this thread. That's why nobody is bothering to explain the same thing over and over to you. But go right ahead and repeat that patriots fan line of "they're a troll/hater". If you buy the absurd "context" they gave for those texts, then there's really no point in trying to convince you.No. you won't give me a reasoned explanation because you are a lazy troll.
Really has nothing to do with my point at all.Interesting analogy. Just curious, what happened with the PSU sanctions?

...explain to me which parts were ridiculous using quotes from the report...
'“Deflate” was a term they used to refer to losing weight.'
