    I'd say the Patriots now have a case too
  2. Mr. Scot
    He's actually correct. The suspension is a punishment of Brady himself, not the team. The league punished Brady for both taking part in the deflation and non-cooperation with the investigation. So yes, they view him as a cheater The loss of draft picks and the fine are levied against the organization because two of its employees took part in the act.

    The NFL did indeed conclude that he knew, and participated. And really? What's the alternative? "Hey, this football seems a little underinflated. I wonder if somebody did that deliberately. Hmmmmm..." "Oh well, it's easier to grip so I won't say anything. Guess it's just my lucky day."

    Oh, right. How could I forget?

    One thing I'm surprised nobody's mentioned yet: Brandon LaFell's hands sure did get a lot better when he went to New England, didn't they? (must have been superior coaching)
  6. Mr. Scot
    Funny thing about that... Florio pointed out that when Sean Payton was suspended, "ignorance was no excuse". Apparently it is now
  7. Mr. Scot
    Different sources. Brady is being punished by the NFL, while the suspensions of McNally and Jastremski were initiated by the Patriots organization. And realistically, who would you expect them to punish? It's clear to the Pats - and probably their fans too - that Brady was just an innocent victim in all this. McNally and Jastremski must have plotted the whole thing without his knowledge. That neither he nor anyone else happened to notice the difference? Well...that's just unfortunate But it's not his fault!

    Memo from the League Office..
  9. Mr. Scot
    Two words: Ball security. Pats have been very good at holding on to the ball for a very long time. And yes, a deflated ball does make that easier. Anyone who's ever handled a football knows it's true. And let's be real. They didn't just start doing this on last year's playoffs. God knows how long this has actually been going on. I'd be willing to bet if the full scope were known, we'd learn they're probably deserving of a lot more than what they got.

    And let's not minimize the fact that this means Brady will now and forever be indelibly branded as a cheater. This will never go away. Patriot haters won't let it.
  11. Mr. Scot
    Good penalty. Now pardon me while I laugh at screaming Patriot fans everywhere
  12. Mr. Scot
    They signed somebody the writer had heard of. (that's usually how it works)
  13. Mr. Scot
    The 49ers have had an offseason straight out of the Ninth Circle of Hell. How could anybody be worse than that?
  14. Mr. Scot
    Oh hell, no.
  15. Mr. Scot
    Wasn't he still on his rookie contract? So, a team releases a talented player that's still on a rookie contract and thus not making all that much money... This doesn't scream "red flag" to everybody?
  16. Mr. Scot
    And there's this from Mike Lupica (link)... Brady was never convincing in his Deflategate defense Lupica brings up a good point. Brady's arrogance is legendary. It wouldn't be at all surprising to find that he never took this investigation seriously; figuring instead, "I'm Tom Brady. No one can touch me." Seeing as we're talking about a guy who, when someone gets penalized for hitting him low, likes to get in their face and say "They made that rule for me, " its not much of a stretch. We all know the proverb that pride goes before a fall. For those who are watching when it happens, laughter comes after one.

    Albert BreerVerified account ‏@AlbertBreer .@Tmoney1197 I don't think the Patriots' 4-month whisper campaign implicating other teams and the league thru certain media helps them here.
  18. Mr. Scot
    We haven't had a sledgehammer blocking fullback in a while, honestly not since Howard Griffith. Might be nice to have again.
  19. Mr. Scot
    Confused. You cheering for Southern Cal or Oregon?
  20. Mr. Scot
    Fewer guys are than used to be. This is camp life in the Gettleman era, where being good in prior seasons doesn't guarantee you a spot this season.
  21. Mr. Scot
    Granted, for a competitive guy, it's tough to be a great player's backup.
  22. Mr. Scot
    Understood, but I'll be absolutely clear on this: I have no idea if such speculation was true.
  23. Mr. Scot
    Just waiting for someone to say "sock it to me"
  24. Mr. Scot
    Rivera said of Funchess that he was happy he was able to "regurgitate" what they gave him Yeah...
  25. Mr. Scot
    Rookie transition to the NFL is roughly comparable to cramming four years of college into a few months and then being asked to take sixteen final exams (even more if your team is successful). Thompson? He's going to be doing all that with a double major, and he'll be forced to miss a month or so of classes in the process. I feel for the kid, but if he succeeds, look out.
