Again, refer to my very first post in this thread. I call for very harsh punishments. My point here is toward the "they only made it to the Superb Owl because they deflated the footballs" crowd.

Again, the refs fixed the game balls at the half and maintained possession of them, NOT turning over the balls to either the officials locker room attendant or the Patriots equipment attendant. And the Patriots did BETTER in the 2nd half than the 1st. The cheating had absolutely NOTHING to do with the outcome of the game. Hell, maybe the Colt LB doesn't even MAKE his int in the Patriot red zone if the ball hadn't been deflated. I wrote my post previously about how I think everyone involved (including the organization) deserves HARSH punishment. But the game result was gonna be that result no matter what.

You do realize that Brady's stats in the 2nd half of the AFC title game, AFTER the refs had fixed the inflation of the footballs, were better than his stats in the 1st half, right? Right?

There's nothing dignified about graduations these days anyway. Its all a big "who can make the most ridiculous noises for their own kid and drown out the kids name behind yours" contest. I enjoyed my son graduatiNG. His graduatiON was just a pain in the ass and a ridiculous show. My son's commissioning ceremony that day? Now THAT was a classy, dignified ceremony. Proud families with actual respect for ALL the newly-commissioned officers, their families, and the ceremony. Frankly, Cam, there's absolutely NOTHING your presence there could do to make it any worse than it already is.

1. I don't think Bellicheat or Kraft knew anything about it. Nevertheless, the organization and its leaders are overall RESPONSIBLE. The Patriots need to lose draft picks for violations of the rules and integrity of the game. 2. Tom Brady is LIKELY being dishonest about this whole thing. Brady needs to be suspended anywhere from half to a full season for violations of the rules and integrity of the game AND for lying to the league. 3. The Patriots equipment manager and the Officials locker room manager should be fired. 4. In the end, I think all QBs do it... some use more pressure, some less, but they ALL like the pressure to be manipulated to their preference. Even Andrew "The Football Deity" Luck. The Colts are a team of whiny bitches. And you were NEVER gonna win that game, Colts fans. The Patriots were better than you. Get the hell over it.

Oh look! Straw!

But dat "leadership" doe.

That'll be tough as long as Ron and Mike continue with the "Pound the ball 1st down, pound the ball 2nd down, pound the ball 3rd down, kick FG" philosophy when they get inside the 5-yard line. Other QBs get the opportunity to throw the ball in those situations in this league. Cam gets to hand it off. Kinda hard to run up your TD numbers when your coaches are fine with kicking FGs.

I prefer to think of it as Winston to Norman/Benikwere.

You, sir, are a mock draft EXPERT then.

What can I say? A degree, a son's degree, and season tickets since 1985 is sometimes considered a knowledgeable investment.

Obviously the key to his successful technique in running for 1600+ yards in a single season in the Southeastern Conference (the 11th best season in SEC history).

Holy poo, you might wanna shove a tampon in it before you pass out.

Same Gus Malzahn offense Cam came from.

For once I agree with Top Dawg (though I am extremely biased ). Artis-Payne is faster and was a more productive running back in the same conference.

Agreed. But the 2nd wasn't a wash, it was a significant *gain* since we moved up so far. Somewhere in this thread is the comparison of trade point values, comparing the value of the pick we got to those we gave up. We won the trade.

Dude, give it up. He bought the Athlons and the USA Today Draft Guides at Publix, so HE KNOWS WE OVERPAYED FOR OUR PICKS. Game over, man... game over.

Before Draft: "I hope Gettleman knows he can trade up if he has to to get some protection/weapons for Cam!" After 2nd Day: "DAMN YOU GETTLEDOUCHE WE NEEDED THAT 3RD ROUND PICK!"

The Smitty NH'ers are definitely drawing their line in the sand this time.

You doubted the Huddle Derpers, brah? Shame on you.

Guess we should just give up then.

http://walterfootball.com/offseason2015car.php Amazing how an amateur site picks up on why Thompson was drafted instantly, whereas "expert analysts" like Prisco are puzzled.

Prisco and PU are against the pick? SUPERB OWL!

Oh, and I find it hiarious to see that just because Prisco doesn't comprehend what position Thompson is going to play, he seems to think former Pro Bowl LB Ron Rivera and top-notch DC Sean McDermott will also have that same problem. lol

Prisco hated the Benjamin pick. Prisco hated the Kuechly pick. Prisco hated the Newton pick. The more things change, the more things stay the same.
