2015 NFL Off-Season Thread: Fuck tom

[Arkanna]

Honest opinion is, this punishment seems a bit severe to me. I expected a short suspension (2 games) and a team fine, but I did not expect the loss of draft picks, especially not more than one, nor a 1st rounder. But, Goodell is sending a message with this punishment, for sure.

And that message is, "Fuck Tom".

[Boyiee]

I bet Gisele is so happy right now, she probably set him up.

[NinjaLotter]

Not so confident huh lol.

And no, the integrity of the game is the one thing that Goodell cannot afford to botch. This isn't Ray Rice knocking out his girl. He fucks that up, he has 20 more chances this season alone to get it right. And in the end it's an off the field issue. This is the QB of a dynasty team being caught cheating to gain an unfair advantage over the competition. It's not like it's the first time the Patriots have been caught cheating.

You weren't anywhere to be found when San Diego was applying sticky substances to the balls, or when Atlanta was pumping in crowd noise, or when Cleveland was illegally using electronic devises, or when Seattle was fielding illegal practices / entire team was on PED's, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.

So don't expect me to go along with your "integrity of the game" charade. Maybe you're the one who could use some integrity.

The punishment is obviously amplified because of the Pats history of cheating and skirting the rules.

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE STEELERS WERE TAKING STEROIDS IN THE 70s BRO?

Brill is 100% correct. Brady did not get suspended for deflating balls, he got suspended for hurting the image of competition in football. It's clear the NFL has no idea (or cares about) what it's doing with a lot of things (domestic violence, marijuana, etc), however, the thing the NFL cares about and knows about is its reputation and its image. Why did Rice get suspended for the whole season (after the first two games), not because of the domestic violence, but because the NFL looked bad.

But, the other side of it is the optics. You're right in that, if this were any other team, it likely would not have received the same attention and therefore the NFL would not have to respond. Off the top of my head, I could imagine Denver, the sea-chickens, and the Cowboys eliciting similar responses from the NFL.

So the Patriots are getting punished for Spygate again in 2014? lol

Why are people so fucking stupid? ESPN can say anything and people will just start repeating it

Like I said earlier, it's all about the optics of this issue -- off the top of my head, I could imagine Denver, the sea-chickens, and the Cowboys eliciting similar responses from the NFL.

Yet the Wells Report didn't prove anything. All it proved in regards to PSI is that the league is a giant clusterfuck.

Seriously, officials not remembering what gauges they used, different gauges get different results, Colts balls under the legal limit too. WTF.

That report is a just clusterfuck and so are the league's handling of air pressure which is now suddenly serious business cuz Tom

I just think it's awesome that Muricans hate Tom Brady more than their own shit politicians, ISIS, Stalin, whatever.

Nobody in this country gives a shit about anything but if Tom Brady puts 45 on their defense, it's veins sticking out of their head, face turning beat red, foaming at the mouth rage.

Roger Goodell, former Jets employee, is an awesome politician. He conspires with women beaters but he's cool now because he fucked the Pats.

You've been maneuvered.

You keep saying this, but where are you finding this information? You are just as bad as the NFL you are complaining about.

NFL Network will be live with full day of Deflategate coverage beginning at 9 tomorrow. Cynic would say they created their own programming

[Taru Tacos]

The punishment seems like bullshit but it's kind of worth it to see NL spit hot fire.

Everybody involved in this bullshit for the league is an ex-Jet, an ex-Eagle during the Superbowl year against the Pats, an ex-Bill, or an ex-Colt.

Wonder where all the fucking hostility is coming from.
