Burger Trench posted:Tom Brady won't get suspended because the Patriots play the first game of the 2015 NFL season. I don't think anyone should get suspended but now I want Brady to get suspended just so it gets talked about the entirety of the opening game and Pats fans will get pissy about it.

There is still no evidence - some guy spent three months investigating and found some rude texts. "Probable." "Generally aware." There's no evidence any footballs were under-inflated, they are not mentioned as being so in the texts. Further - some of the Colts footballs were found to be under inflated at halftime too. This is all a bunch of nothing - the only infraction PROVEN to have occurred is a league official stealing from a charity. The rest is all smoke and mirrors and weasel-worded speculations.

The other take away from this is that those two ball attendants are probably loving. There's a lot of fun innuendo in those txts.

Papercut posted:I don't care if the league does nothing, the important thing is that every time anyone brings up Belichick, the Patriots, or Brady as the bests of all time, they can immediately be laughed away as cheaters. I'd be surprised if anyone gives a poo poo about this in 10 years. After Belichick and Brady are gone their reputations will be whitewashed just like Al Davis and Art Modell's were.

Smart thing for Goodell is to either let it die based on the weasel words about no smoking gun, or punish Brady for failure to cooperate with the investigation rather than the act itself.

IF ANYTHING it seems like Tom Brady was being blackmailed to make sure the balls weren't the size of "rugby balls".

At least concussions and over saturation of the sport will probably kill the league within a decade. And the heat death of the universe will eventually make all this meaningless. So that's good.

Intruder posted:Patriots lied, Seahawks season died Because as far as I'm concerned... If Brady never specifically told them to specifically gently caress with them post inspection, and never told them to specifically go below legal limits- rewarding your subordinates with gifts for putting in extra effort to make things how you want is common practice. It's clear those two jackasses have problems with Tom and even went as far as to joke around about loving with the balls to screw tom up. If they broke the rules without specific orders from Tom telling them to... I don't see how tom could get in trouble.

Be honest. Stop falling all over yourself to be reasonable and be a real Pats homer, dammit.

If deflated balls meant the difference between beating the Seahawks or not, I'm willing to let it slide.

Eltoasto posted:I hate the Pats and this is funny, and I will roll around in the info like human catnip. But at the end of the day, this is "cheating" akin to using too much stickum or smacking an earhole, it's nothing that should hurt his legacy. To me it's just a "Well, Tom Brady was a dirty player, but he was also one of the best of our generation" type of impact
