My last remark on the subject and I am done. I preferred to not even write this. It feels like most of the nonsense I have read in this thread was posted by decade old people and not someone close to six like myself. JMO answer or don't but i'm done in this thread.
Thats the point, its supposed to be ridiculous, the more ridiculous the better, because ridiculous works. Thats what we learned from the Pats and Pats fans over the past six months, manufactured outrage + ridiculous accusations = winning.
I see, if this is where Nick was coming from I understand what you both are saying. Race still exist in this world. Some for the good but majority for the bad, in its own suttle ways. The NFL as a whole, meaning the owners and the commissioner is all about the money. Dont ever mistaken that. They could care less about the image whether its black or white. They do what they can to create the mirage they care when its really all about keeping the money flowing in their pockets.
Really 82, do you really believe Brady was not guilty of conspiring to deflate those balls?
So far as the NFL is concerned it is.
I didn't say I didn't believe he conspired in deflating the balls or that he know of them doing it period. I believe he is guilty but he committed no crime in doing it. I've said this before on other post, this isnt steriods or other performance enhancing drugs. This isn't players gambling on the games or a player committing crimes in the streets. IMHO, this was purely gamesmanship that the Pats always seem to be good enough to get away with.
Yes I am. If its gamesmanship then it is what it is. Let's not get ridiculous with this but lets get real here, players have been cheating or found competitive edges for decades now. From altering their jerseys to putting stick em on their hands to players holding each other to defensive players faking injuries for a breather without calling a timeout and jumping at offensive players to make them move for the false start penalties. This is all sportsmanship to me and so was deflating the damn balls. You have QBs like A. Rodgers who like more air in the balls then the NFL standard. Should that be considered cheating also?
Okay, thats one way to look at it and you are certainly entitled to your opinion, and I appreciate that you have the guts to stand by it. I think there's a difference between gamesmanship on the field and cheating by manipulating the rules in preparation for games and off the field, like taking balls that have already been measured by the league into a mens room and deflating them, that too me crosses the line and its very different than the gamesmanship that happens on the field.
I can respect that and the deflating of balls after the fact is borderline to me but I'm still ok with it. To me crossing the line is the Pats taping the Jets practices or the Saints and bounty gate for example. Also the Falcons amping up crowd noise in their stadium. That to me has gone to far. But if A. Rodgers can add more air to his balls and it isn't an issue then why can't Brady deflate his?
You can't be serious. If you don't know the difference between Brady and Sheldon then you're not paying attention.
Reading through multiple posts, it's clear that you don't understand the ruling, abs trust me the media doesn't know how to properly report anything.
