Interesting. Bob Kravitz claims Patriots are now being investigated by NFL for supposedly using deflated balls while on offense to improve grip in heavy rains. Could potentially face fines and loss of draft picks.

Worth noting that Kravitz has some sort of affiliation with the Colts. Stay tuned.

Why is BB never suspended?  Sean Payton was booted for a year for destroying the integrity of the game.  Billy B.  has been wiping his ass with the integrity of the game for over a decade.

 

 

Didn't the NFL get rid of most of the spygate files?    I know for bountygate,  those f'ers were finding wadded up pieces of tissue paper with scribbling on it,  to  judge the Saints by.

Considering they manhandled the Colts, I don't think this mattered much. That being said, if this is true, it certainly helps to perpetuate the narrative that they are cheaters. It'll also cause me to assume that they're probably always doing something that they shouldn't be.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
