Supposing we do hire McDaniels, Caserio or both

How are you going to feel about bringing in people from"The Patriot Way" when we've bashed them as cheaters for years and years?

(heck, McDaniels was reportedly caught doing some shenanigans in Denver)

Related: Does the revelation that David Tepper is close to the Kraft family affect your opinion of him in any way?

If you're not cheating, you're not trying

There was an anecdote on Robert Mays podcast yesterday, where he said he spoke to Rivera about using technology on the sidelines, and Rivera told him he wouldn't use it, not because it wasn't effective, but because he felt it was unfair to the opposing coach and lacked integrity

Literally, Rivera refused to use technology because it was 'unfair'.  Big reason Denver knew all of our plays in the Superbowl was how naive Rivera was.

In case you dont believe it, here's the podcast

Even if we start winning like crazy?

I will leave the puppies be. 

I just can’t stomach that guy. Maybe I’m being unfair but to me everything about him screams douchebag par egg say lontz.

On top of everything else he drafted The Golden Calf of Bristol in the first. I just don’t think I’m at a meaningful risk of confronting that reality.

Yikes!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure a lot of other coaches aren't really that concerned about being fair to the opponent. The Patriots sure as hell aren't.

The general read from people is that McDaniel's was given way too much power too soon when he should have been concentrating only on coaching.

Is that true? Don't know, but if he's hired here I certainly hope it is.

You would be hard pressed to type something I disagreed with more strongly when it comes to sports. I have always found this to be a rationalization of cheaters to attempt to excuse their behavior. 

True champions do not cheat.

Period.

Having said that, I don’t disagree that if Rivera refused to use technology on the sideline that wasn’t specifically forbidden by the league, he was being naive and probably just rationalizing his own dislike of technology.

Realistically speaking, there is a certain amount of hypocrisy that comes with being a sports fan.  Your opinion of certain players and actions frequently has a lot to do with who they play for.

I suspect if this happens, we'll get the chance to see just how deep our own sports hypocrisy goes.

Well I think the pile of trophies in Foxboro disagrees with you......

The truth is, professional and revenue college sports are rife with cheating. It's no surprise, because millions and billions of dollars are at stake. It is no different than insider trading or some of the financial industry misconduct that has been exposed over the past 20 years. When that much money is involved, people will take short cuts. It is human nature.

It doesn't make it right, it just makes it what it is.

      2025 Schedule Release - post 'em when you find 'em

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
