Falcons could lose a second or third round pick

As a result of 'noisegate'.

 

Persistent chatter at the Scouting Combine suggested that the Falcons will be losing a second- or third-round pick in the 2015 draft for the infraction.  The NFL has provided no insight on the magnitude of the penalty the team will be facing.

If it’s a second-day pick, it wouldn’t be a surprise.  As cheating goes, attempting to disrupt the ability of the opposing offense to communicate seems to be a pretty big deal.  Given that it wasn’t a one-time thing but a two-year pattern tends to call for an even more significant punishment.

 

Combine chatter suggests stiff penalty for Falcons

 

Just hearsay, of course.

 

But amusing hearsay :D

Winning in the offseason!

 

If this penalty is established, New England's deflategate must be at the minimum a 1st rounder.

 

Pretty sure the verdict there was that nothing could be concluded since the only ball found to be deflated was the one that came from the Colts themselves. That said, the NFL leadership hasn't exactly shown themselves to be the logical sort.

 

If the Falcons lose a draft pick, however, I will smile.  Extensively.

Actually, an NFL official clarified that Ian Rapoport was wrong about that.

I really wish people would stop calling everything something "gate". I'm not calling out Mr. Scott, just the people who come up with the poo.

 

our latest case of "Historygate"

I used to drive by Watergate regularly when I lived in DC.  Nice place...

      The good thing about replacing a bad player is you really have nothing to lose. If their replacement is bad so what, you didn't get much worse and probably saved money.

      I came over from the old Panthers Insider site. When Fox Sports bought that platform it slowly just started dying plus the guy who ran that site was dealing with some pretty significant health issues so the whole thing just slowly fell apart. Quite a few of us migrated over here. Not sure how many are still around.  I miss that place. It struck a nice balance of having enough active posters to keep productive conversation flowing but didn't have so much traffic that you end up with a lot of trolling BS. This place is getting there though since we shutdown new registrations but at some point we're going to have to open it back up or we'll watch this place slowly die off too as posters fall off for one reason or another. We just have to figure out a way to filter out the spam bots. It was a never ending battle to ban the spam bots to keep then from overrunning the site. You'd think they'd be a little more strategic. I mean, if you fill a site with nothing but spam people are just going to stop coming so it's not a sustainable model. But nope, every one of them makes dozens of duplicate threads filling up pages upon pages as soon as their account goes live.

      lol...I don't remember that.  Although recalling what I had for breakfast yesterday is sometimes a challenge.  Hope it was a positive thing.
