It's the offseason; how is anyone ever surprised by the fact that football fans will find a way to talk about football when nobody is playing football?

Seriously, it's as though a lot of posters on this board don't even know actual football fans in real life. People fucking love to passionately argue for or against relatively minuscule things when the sport itself is not being played. This is not new, and, in a NFL thread no less, cries of "Why are you talking about this?" are useless and, for lack of better words, as dumb as the things being discussed lol.

LOL, the "report" basically says: "Hey, they texted a bunch after it happened and he talked about getting signed things from Brady for his kids, so he probably did it. Also, I don't think that guy actually had to pee. Our scientists that previously said cigarrettes didn't cause cancer also said it wasn't possible."

From what I've read the texts are normal new englander fuck my boss messages

McNally: Tom sucks...im going make that next ball a f----- balloon

Jastremski: Talked to him last night. He actually brought you up and said you must have a lot of stress trying to get them done

Jastremski: I told him it was. He was right though

Jastremski: I checked some of the balls this morn... The refs f----- us...a few of then were at almost 16

Jastremski: They didnt recheck then after they put air in them

McNally: F--- tom ...16 is nothing...wait till next sunday

Jastremski: Omg! Spaz

So Tom was bitching that the refs overinflated the balls and told the guy to check them, Tom was right then the guy jokes that hes gonna overinflate it just to piss him off. Don't understand how this is even included in here.

There really isn't any evidence in the report at all other than the dude took the balls into the bathroom for a 90-100 seconds. Does anyone know what they said the actual numbers on the balls was? Can't find it anywhere.



Actually if you read the dates of the texts they were from summer 2014 - end of 2014, so they were before anyone knew anything about the deflation stuff. That's what make it look really bad when he says stuff like, "I'm not going to ESPN...yet" and "come on help the deflator", he obviously knew he was doing something wrong and the public didn't know anything about it yet.

I certainly don't think it affected the outcome of the Colts game in any way, but when the Patriots keep getting caught trying to find new ways to cheat the system, you have to eventually come down on them. Even if in the grand scheme of things deflated balls aren't that big of a deal.

If you actually read the report it is pretty convincing evidence though. The whole more likely than not thing is just legal speak for "we couldn't find anyone literally admitting to it in the texts/evidence" so I don't know why people are harping on that other than the fact that it's easy to make fun of.

Also, I find it curious that the only texts you quoted to make your point are by far the most benign of the ones that were leaked.

I used those texts because they shouldn't even be in the report because they clearly aren't serious. To me the others aren't much better. Tom constantly bitches about ball pressure asking for air to be let out because he thinks they need to be as low as they are allowed and thinks the refs are constantly screwing him or the equipment guys are screwing up. the "ESPN" and "deflator" thing also seemed like jokes to me, and everyone else from the area including Robert Kraft. Honestly the texts from all the other employees probably look incredibly similar, it's kind of a New England thing...

It doesn't matter either way now though unless Kraft does his own report (which he said he wouldn't); Brady gets fined, the employees get fired, the procedure changes.

I'd still like to see the actual numbers for the footballs quoted in the report, if anyone has a link I'd appreciate it.

Cheating has been part of the NFL forever.

I just finished reading "Just Win, Baby" and i must say that Al Davis' Oakland Raiders make the Patriots look like catholic school boys. Jack Tatum turns a guy into a quadraplegic on a late hit in a pre-season game.. and we are supposed to view Brady/Bellicheck as evil? umm ya ok.

Fuck Jack Tatum for ever and always

JJ and company rolled out the red carpet for Collins. They sure have a lot of risk attached to all the new players (McFadden, Hardy, Gregory) to add to the already risky players (Lee, Randle, McClain, Brent) but if pays off they could be SB contenders. So much talent, such a shame the best RB is McFadden.

If Brady gets suspended for even one game this league is a fucking joke. While rapist like Big Ben gets off free.

What are you talking about? Ben missed games
Please help me get in contact with the Pats organization because I'd love to personally deflate Tom's balls.

So if Collins and Chaz Green pan out, the Cowboys O-Line could look like this in a few years:
Smith - Green - Frederick - Martin - Collins
Could be the greatest O-Line in history.

Wait, the Cowboys get their first round pick (Byron Jones, whom I've never heard of but that's irrelevant), Gregory, and Collins? Who the heck let them do this?!

see, I'm down with gamble picks like that when you're 13-3 or whatever the fuck the Cowboys are. They're pretty stacked. The niners are 8-8 and picked a bunch of players who won't see the field for 2-3 years, if ever.

Fuck man that draft really pisses me off, even if the players individually might be at least ok-good.

It's fine, niniers are in full rebuild mode now so it all lines up nicely.

they don't seem to think they are from interviews, moves, etc. Even if they are and not saying, aside from their #1 they drafted all positions that have entrenched starters and ignored ILB/CB which have gaping holes. Tartt's their 3rd safety in 4 years, and they already have two pro bowlers. I get wanting to find Bethea's replacement now but that seems silly when those holes are open. The only other thing I can think of is that they're making Ward a full time db. Same thing with the drafting of Eli the OLB - they're probably shifting Brooks inside I'd think. BUt even with that, you're got a pretty loaded outside.

Our only punishment for salary cap cheating should have been the self imposed punishment of cheating it to sign Albert fucking haynesworth

He declares teams for cheaters based on media rumours. We have a little more than that for e.g. The patriots. He also declares teams for cheaters based on things where no rules were broken, but he considers it unsportsmanlike. To be honest he seems full of shit.
