hey jet fans

The NFL hates the Patriots because the Pats don't fall in line with the NFL's mandated parity.

I'm also a Chicago Cubs fan. Being a Patriot fan is much more fun.

Really?

Moss and Gronk are Hall of Famers. The rest were only good with Brady. I guess you don't watch much football.

Curious as to how many HOFers Eli had for his 2 rings and for that matter Phil Simms for his?

Or Russel Wilson
Or Joe Flacco from 2012
Or Aaron Rodgers in 2010
Or Drew Brees in 2009
Or Ben Rothlisberger

Gotta go back to 2005 when Peyton Manning had Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison

I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and say ... because Rob Gronkowski was drafted by the Patriots in the 2nd round .... each of those teams you listed had an opportunity to add a future hall of famer to their roster .....

EDIT: Some teams even had 2 cracks at him!!!

 

[Redding Husky]

In about a month, we'll unveil the fourth Super Bowl banner in Foxborough. Adding to the frustration of the NFL and the fans from the other 31 teams, no asterisk will be present at the ceremony.

They all had a few cracks at Brady quite a few years ago if you really want to test that limb?

“You guys made a mistake by drumming up business for the show and how I would address my reporting for the first time. I will not allow WEEI, [Robert] Kraft or anybody to make me the centerpiece of a story that has been misreported far beyond anything I did in the first 48 hours. Maybe when the lawsuit is settled, in Brady’s favor, I hope, we can revisit. Don’t call.”

Not following the logic in this move. It's one thing to back out of the interview, but to be antagonistic in such a way is a bad move, Chris. This actually points to ESPN being more complicit in Deflate-___*.

* - I refuse to attach the letters G, T, E, A, in any order to any controversy, other than what occurred involving a certain hotel in Washington D.C. in the mid-1970s

Here's Goodell's findings. I didn't notice it linked elsewhere.

I haven't had the chance to go through in detail, but on a quick glance it seems paper thin but written in an authoritative tone.

I agree with H25 that this may rest on a determination of Goodell was an appropriate and impartial arbitrator. If he is, we don't get to the flaws in the Wells report, we defer to the arbitrator.

People are getting a woody about the phone destruction. While bad optics, if he wasn't required to turn it over, then he was free to do whatever he chose with it.

I really don't think destroying a phone destroys email, text messages, or instant messages. Despite what snapchat would like you to believe, I pretty sure that info is saved somewhere too.

If Brady's carrier was AT&T, his SIM card (where contacts, texts, emails, etc. are saved) would be able to be moved from a Samsung to an iPhone.

The time for common sense was 7 months ago, but its still not too late.

"Brady already offered to help the league procure his messages directly from his contact’s phone—a fact the NFL admitted in a footnote in their latest decision"

Gotta love Jets fans. Their franchise is such a mess that they care more about hating the Patriots than the Jets winning.

I was just responding to your specific comment.

It's all they have. I still remember Richard Todd talking about this bottle of expensive champagne he had. He wasn't going to pop the cork until the Jets won the Super Bowl. Let's hope he gave up on that years ago. I hate to see good hooch go to waste.

Oh yeah, I didn't mean to give impression otherwise. I googled looking for something after I saw your comment, and that's what I found.

In their defense, this is the first banner they've been able to fly in 45 years.

I know it's a joke but they've done this before at least once, trying to get Idzik fired.

Patriots release emails to NFL on leaks of false information

Between What Mortensen did and the linked e-mails, the Patriots won today. Too little too late in the Court of Public Opinion, probably. It's like the judge offering the defendant the chance to make a statement hands down sentencing but after he has already determined it.

Luckily for the Patriots, the CPO does not have jurisdiction over Brady's right to work. The next 5 weeks will be mighty interesting around these parts.

This is hilarious, the Patriots aren't even a dynasty.

How can anyone read that email exchange and side with the NFL? This league needs to be taken down
