When I was at the Pats/Raiders game last year, the fans were openly screaming for Jimmy G to spell Brady. He is a little bit of a cult favorite up there. (much like Tim Boyle was here, at least until he got on the field)

Are you suggesting Palatine is in a cult???
 
Boy, it would be nice if this place had a "pro sports" forum, to prevent this POS thread from popping up on the football board on the week of camp opening...

Oh, wait...
 
...of course you always have the option not to open it
 
Some people just have issues with the Patriots. Deflating footballs is the same as having an extra 1/8" curve on a stick in the NHL, but the NFL and Patriot haters have blown this out of proportion. They suck.

Haters gonna hate.
 
What we really can all take from this joke of a story/saga is this: nobody should take ESPiN's "reporting" for gospel. Time and time again they get facts wrong or, worse yet, don't bother reporting them at all. ESPiN cares most about generating clicks to its stories and driving viewership to their programming, even if they are about spotting a one winged purple unicorn in Times Square.

I'm thinking its worse than that, its looking more and more like the NFL launders lies through ESPN to come out "clean" on the other end.
 
The Pats fans are still clinging to this? :eek: Wow move on or as the infamous Zionn would say

I'd love for you to explain those emails and enlighten us on why the only people who could have access to psi info (NFL) would tell an ESPN reporter something that has since been proven false?

False info in the Press - NO???

Ill answer - the person who supplied that info made it up...

. That is NOT what's at issue here, to be honest.
 
I haven't read all 400+ pages of TB12's testimony, but from what I've gleaned on Twitter and the Interwebs (Which, less face it, is all the anti-Brady crowd has done thus far): not a good day for the NFL.

To say the least.

Roger Goodell got caught in several lies.

Jim Harbaugh and head of refs Dean Blandino in lies as well.

Check this one out from Roger:

Goodell states in his appeal decision “In response to the question, ‘Why were you talking to Mr. (John) Jastremski in those two weeks?,’ Mr. Brady responsed, in sum: ‘I think most of the conversations centered around breaking in the balls.'” Goodell also wrote: “The sharp contrast between the almost complete absence of communications through the AFC Championship Game and the extraordinary volume of communications during the three days following the AFC Championship Game undermines the suggestion that the communications addressed only preparation of footballs for the Super Bowl rather than the tampering allegations and their anticipated responses to inquiries about the tampering.” Goodell is implying that Brady lied about why he and Jastremski communicated so frequently after the AFC Championship Game. Brady readily admitted, multiple times, however, in his appeal to Goodell that he and Jastremski could have been discussing the Deflategate allegations against the Patriots and not only football preparation for the Super Bowl.

Harbaugh claimed he never called the Colts about kicking ball deflation. According to the transcripts, he did.
 
The NFL is a joke. They have an agenda to make the Patriots look bad.

As a Pats fan, I say we just go with it. Cut some more coroners for competitive advantage. Let's get away with as much as we can. Push the envelope and keep winning. Screw 'em.

Jerry Thornton is that you? You're supposed to be on vacation!!!
 
I'm a diehard Colts fan...grew up in Indiana....I hate the Patriots and Brady......but I have to say this whole thing is just ridiculous. 4 games for tampering with footballs which barely affects the game and especially had 0 affect on that AFCCG . I'm probably the only Colts fan that feels this way but I just think this whole thing is stupid. They collectively bargained that the punishment for tampering with footballs is a fine and he gets 4 games? If they were trying to do this to Luck/Peyton I'd be furious which is why I don't blame Pats fans. I'm embarrassed that we even got involved because it comes off as us being petty and whiny and seems like an excuse. Personally, I want the suspension lifted and I want the Pats at full strength when we play them. If we finally beat them (huge if I know) I don't want any Brady was rusty or other nonsense. Like it matters if Brady even plays though because over the past few matchups Brady has been pedestrain which is likely by design because why does he need to do anything when they're rushing for 1,000 yards every time we play. I think LaGarrette Blount just scored another td

The O/U for that game might be > 60, and I would be surprised if the Pats take care of the over all on their own.[/QUOTE]

Actually, I thought the Patriots gained an unfair advantage over the Colts that game. After deflategate broke, Sports science did a show in which they proved a ball with more PSI will go further and faster than a deflated ball.

So when the refs pumped up all the Patriots balls into the 13s at halftime, they didn't pump the Colts balls, and they left them at 12 PSI. Luck had to throw deflated footballs the second half whereas Brady was heaving balls at speed.

You realize that proves my point, right? Mortensen took wrong info from Day of Game Op Mike Kensil and ran with it, starting this whole nonsense. They took advantage of a gullable reporter and the fact you still go off of the info from that "good" reporter that has been proven false makes you look foolish. But i look forward to your fact filled rebuttal filled with more emoji's than actual facts.

Agreed, the problem is it shouldn't be coming from league employees.

I'm confused now. The anti-Patriots people have maintained that a ball under 12.5 PSI (could be under by 1 PSI, .5, .1, anything) is a huge, career making advantage for a QB. So, how come Luck, armed with this victory-guaranteeing edge, was absolutely terrible in the second half (zero points produced by the offense)? Could these folks be wrong?

So in essence - status quo?
 
The fact that Mr. Wells, in his deposition during the appeal hearing, asks his lawyer if he can answer whether or not he showed his report to the NFL's attorney for comments before publishing it, shows he was not the independent investigator the NFL had trumpeted. This is all a sham. Brady will win the appeal and I doubt he will agree to any settlement that does not exonerate him and lift the suspension.

Yep here is another take on Goodell lying blatantly. I have skimmed through the testimony and there are multiple problems for the NFL. Here is one example of what we have all been bitching about in Goodell's ruling to uphold the suspension in his ruling document he released to the public he stated that after Brady had never texted Jankowski for months then he had multiple text exchanges with him after the fact and that Brady told him they were only about ball preparation for the SB. Goodell found this unbeleivable in his ruling essentially calling Brady a liar to the press and the public. Now the entire hearing transcript is released and Brady says nothing short of 8 times that he spoke to him also about the deflategate allegations. Brady did this under oath and then Goodell in his ruling completely lied to everybody about what Brady had said, I guess he thought these documents would stay sealed. The guy is an absolute POS.
