Golden Boy Tom Brady suspended four games


Recommended Posts

Already after 24 hours one owner from the Atlanta Falcons Bland I think that's his name is desinting from Goodell. I'm pretty sure they'll be more.

Yes. And they are concentrated in one corner of the US.

I must admit that I thought that the Pats didn't really do anything that other teams weren't doing as well. But this last report has me shaking my head. At the least, I'm standing back and looking at them differently.

Well, I wouldn't call the the blue area a "corner" but if your point is that people want to believe that the Patriots are cheaters based on Spygate and Deflategate, and that position lacks principle, I'm with you.

Why would I want to live in Bizarro World with you? No, I'll stick to actual integrity, something that Boston sports fans (and the Pats) not only don't value, but seemingly avoid at all costs.

When everything is laid out in one place, the levels of cheating and unethical behavior are staggering.

Read some of LR's earlier posts in this thread. He's not interested in how it plays out. He's interested in explaining the success of a team he hates by saying they're cheaters.

It's starting to become clear that they are. But in fairness, let's see how it unfolds.

Why do coordinators cover their mouths with cards when calling plays? Is trying to "steal" signals OK when done by a lip reader with binoculars, but illegal when done with video and game film? If yes, can you explain why that is, practically?

Right, virtually everyone in the world is biased except a majority in 5 states.

Do I think the Patriots cheated and did some things wrong.....absolutely. Even if other teams have done the same and never been caught...I don't care. Does this mean I should abandon this team....not in the least I'll continue to root for them since I have been from the beginning in 1971.

An extremely reasonable position. Too bad more from upper NE don't have the integrity to admit such things.

I think most, if not all, teams skirt that "cheating" line as closely as possible. The Pats crossed the line and got caught a couple times. If I was asked to vote in the poll, I would have voted for "yes, they are cheaters". While I think Brady should not lose any time for the deflated balls, that does not mean I think something wasn't purposefully done to gain an advantage. Even if it was only a placebo effect, some advantage was gained.

"Reasonable" defined here as "something with which [you] agree."

 

An equally reasonable one would be to just admit you hate them, in part because they keep beating the sh*t out of your favorite team at least once and often twice a season, and have for about 14 years now. And because their head coach is a jerk who isn't kind to people who don't bring value to his life. So anything negative about them you're willing to embrace wholeheartedly. That would take some integrity. But saying they cheat because of the absolutely BS issues of "Spygate" (still waiting on an explanation of technically how that differs from the lip readers with binoculars coordinators are still trying to thwart) and the now completely discredited "Deflategate" is not reasonable. It's a pity that too many Patriot haters haven't shown the integrity to, for example, admit in this thread that they've been proven wrong. And why should they, I guess. As soon as Deflategate collapsed, they dredged up Spygate just to make sure they didn't lose their momentum.

Are the Packers, since Rodgers admits he has them overinflated and hopes the refs don't catch it? An overinflated ball would travel better than an underinflated one.

 

Are the Dolphins? They let a field get flooded before a league championship game because it would slow their faster opponent down.
