GaussianCopula posted:Lynch was docked $20k for the ball grab in the last game. Let's all hope and pray that the patriots will only get the $25k, just to have more tasty tears. Lynch grabbed his dick and gets fined 20k and is also getting a bigger fine for not talking to the media. He's literally the worst and should be kicked out of the NFL. Nevermind the fact that the Patriots cheated, Ray Rice beat his wife, Adrian Peterson beat his son, and rapists, dog fighters, and general scum bags abound in the NFL, he didn't talk to the media and should be loving killed. Seriously, gently caress ESPN and gently caress the NFL. Edit: I posted this after Adam Shefter equated Marshawn Lynch's not talking to the media and "obscene gesture" to being just as bad as cheating.

But then again, that's true of most writers/reporters in the sports world, not always their fault. Unless something boils over I'm inclined to ignore reports of "behind closed doors feelings."

EATIN SHRIMP posted:They're frustrated the Pats have been crushing their souls for 15 years. They should be frustrated with the Colts because now they won't be able to do the same thing the Pats were doing, allegedly. Someone a few pages posted a reporter saying that the majority of the league was baffled that this controversy is even a thing. Jay Glazer is maybe the most reliable NFL guy and I trust whatever he tells me. Also, Brian Billick said this morning that he's tired of people saying that every team in the league does this stuff. He said it's absolutely not true and he doesn't want to be grouped in with that kind of statement, so...

Why would anyone publicly come to the defense of the team that's been the most dominant in the league, with the only coach that NFL Coaches Association? Of course they won't. It's a lot easier to say "no we didn't do that, maybe THATS why they are so good" than admit they do the same thing yet can't put together sustained success like the Pats.

That was a lot more definitive than I was expecting. I mean it's not going to convince much of anyone either way, but it's very clearly setting what the Patriots response is rather than simply ducking and weaving and waiting until they know what the league knows. If they're guilty (which let's be honest is looking pretty likely) this is a risky strategy because you risk putting something out there that can be definitively disproven, but it gives you more credibility in the meantime. The other strategy is essentially to sit back, say nothing, and essentially go "prove it" which, while more likely to make it so that you can't be proven to be guilty, makes everyone assume you are. Also, knowing Goodell, he'll come down much harder on Bill if he does manage to prove anything once Bill's made these denials in public than if he said nothing. Not what I was expecting. Sure isn't much compared to the facts on the ground, of course, but interesting nonetheless.

I mean, it's possible that a lot of people are frustrated with the Pats, and that a bunch of others aren't. It's not like one possibility precludes the other in a league where there are lots of people in coaching/leadership positions. e.  @ #flexball ads in the presser

Not that I think the Patriots would have kept Aaron around anyway - nobody wants a loving nutjob serial killer in a high-stress environment around their very valuable football players no matter how good he is, it's just not good for business - they didn't have much choice cutting Aaron since it was clear he was going to be in jail awaiting trial for a year or two no matter what.

What's interesting is that it's potentially way worse for the NFL and the Pats for Brady to be behind this because then they'd have to punish him instead of Belichick, and yet Bill didn't even try to shield him. He basically said talk to Brady.quote:“I think we all know that quarterbacks, kickers, specialists have certain preferences on the footballs,” Belichick said. “They know a lot more than I do. They’re a lot more sensitive to it than I am. I hear them comment on it from time to time, but I can tell you and they will tell you that there’s never any sympathy whatsoever from me on that subject. Zero. Tom’s personal preferences on his footballs are something that he can talk about in much better detail and information than I could possibly provide.” Mister Fister posted:Ok, what about the wall street journal guy?

It's beautiful. @BillSimmons The Pats would have been better off just having multiple key guys get suspended for PEDs like everyone else. Also - the fact that Belichick did the whole "wasn't me, ask Tom" thing makes me feel even worse about Brady's iffy contract status.

Yeah because we're supposed to believe that this is the only cheating they have engaged in (besides all the other rumors and the times they have been caught cheating). And i'm sure they only did this for the AFC title game where they got caught.
