He should have deflated the balls in an elevator and then paid off TMZ. | ||

It doesn't seem like he drinks himself into a stupor or really any evidence he drinks a lot or often. He drinks probably less than most people 18-24, especially in NC, hes just had some bad luck when it comes to getting caught. I mean the guy smoked pot in college (who does that right!?) and got a DUI in NC (10TH drunkest state in the country) with a .09 (was really just a speeding ticket until the BA test) and then got caught with alcohol in his urine at a random screening on a weekend (while he's not working for months). What seems like a much more likely explanation is that he is like your typical person of that age who thinks he can still get away with shit and doesn't comprehend the potential consequences. But sure if one knew absolutely nothing about addiction or never bothered to actually read the details of his instances I could see how one might think he is a "hopeless addict". As for owners/top office people caught with drugs or committing other crimes, they should get temp banned by the same guidelines as the players do, perhaps more so since they are "the boss". Irsay being a 55 year old man in AA post rehab and getting caught with a car full of cash ($29,000) and prescription medication, and being unable to recite the alphabet. Now that sounds like a potential hopeless addict. Gordon sounds more like a typical person in their early 20's who just happens to have the opportunity to make millions playing a game. If Wall Street randomly UA'd it's employees or gave random UA's to future employees still in college, that shit would be a ghost town in days. his drinking and drug use is having a very direct negative effect on his career, that's like one of the main things about addiction | ||

If the guy was showing up drunk to games or at least practice there might be something to the idea but really this is just getting silly now. | ||

I also think it's weird that they haven't even interviewed Brady yet. Like what the heck? The NFL can't stop tripping over themselves. | ||

The NFL can't stop tripping over themselves. Irsay mentioned on ESPN today that Ted Wells handles his investigation like you would expect from a former FBI agent(I'm going to take his word on this, I have no idea how FBI investigations work), which apparently means he goes from low man on the pole and works his way up, rather than the other way around. Tom Brady will probably be one of the last interviews he does. Basically they want the peons to roll on the royalty, like breaking up a drug ring. | ||

Hopefully they're actually interviewing the lower levels and not just saying they are. | ||

The endless anonymous leaks to the media are not. The Patriots are having their name and reputation dragged through the mud by these tips, and given their content they surely came from sources closes to the investigation. The way Kraft worded his statement, he obviously meant to chastise the NFL for their leaky ship. Guilty or not, any party accused of a serious rule infringement deserves a full investigation before the rocks are thrown. | ||

Except that A) The Patriots only recently washed the mud off of their name and reputation and B) The media is going to throw rocks whether the NFL has a leaky ship or not. Kraft is just being a blowhard, the NFL has every right to investigate this case and they don't owe him a damn thing even if they come back clean. That should be apology enough. | ||

That the NFL told anyone from the beginning that an investigation into whether or not the Patriots deflated footballs is the problem. I think that Kraft thinks that the news leaked from NFL officials, not from the Colts or Ravens. An investigation should have happened behind closed doors, and if nothing had been found, then there would never have been reputational damage for the Patriots. That they just recently washed the mud from their name is only more reason for Kraft to be pissed off. | ||

This is why the nfl or any other organization doesn't want the media involved in shit like this. source, is clearly biased but combines multipe reports If the guy could remove, deflate, and replace 11 balls in 90 seconds, that's mighty impressive. Doesn't rule out that something weird happened, but that sounds like the dude went to take a leak. | ||
