bobby heenan 60 Posted September 8, 2015 Meh - I think you're making a huge assumption here. Whitney Houston's star shined pretty bright, but she was broken on the inside. Same for Robin Williams, Kurt Cobain, Junior Seau, Michael Jackson, etc. Not that Tom Brady is going down that road, but I think it's a slippery slope when you hitch your happiness to the fame & fortune wagon. I'm middle class, but my life is pretty damn good, and my name's not be smeared all over the place today. I'm middle class also....but let's be real ....neither of us are worth 100 mil, are going to the pro football hall of fame, can have virtually any woman we want....basically nobody knows us and we aren't in the convo as the best of all time at the most glamorous position in sports.....but I'm glad u are happy with your lot in life...truly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Nice 40 Posted September 8, 2015 “We now know that this report was false, and that no tape of the walkthrough ever existed,” the Herald wrote. “We should not have published the allegation in the absence of firmer verification. The Boston Herald regrets the damage done to the team by publication of the allegation, and sincerely apologizes to its readers and to the New England Patriots’ owners, players, employees and fans for our error.” Despite that correction being issued three months after the initial report, the damage had been done. People believed that the Patriots filmed the Rams walkthrough, and that was that. In fact, ESPN ran with the filmed walkthrough story multiple times in recent weeks, displaying the “news” on the bottom of the screen during discussions about DeflateGate. “On two occasions in recent weeks, SportsCenter incorrectly cited a 2002 report regarding the New England Patriots and Super Bowl XXXVI,” Levy said. “That story was found to be false and should not have been part of our reporting. We apologize to the Patriots organization.” Better late — as in, seven years too late — than never? UPDATE: The Patriots tweeted out the video from ESPN, showing that the organization is listening. http://boston.cbslocal.com/2015/08/20/espn-apologizes-to-patriots-for-sharing-false-spygate-story/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't blame you for defending your team. My problem is the constant denial, finger-pointing, etc. My team (Denver) got caught greasing their jerseys in 1998, en route to one of their Super Bowl wins. That was against the rules. You know what they did? They didn't hire an attorney, they didn't point fingers at anyone else, they didn't cry about it. Here's what Mark Schlereth said about it: "Did I grease up my jersey, and use sticky substances on my gloves? You're damn right," Schlereth said recently. "What you call cheating is a fine line. It's an interesting line. What we did, in the locker room, is called being creative. Certain cheating is snickered at, or applauded." If the Patriots would man up, I'd respect them more.

Really? You think a pretty wife and good-looking kids are the key to happiness? Brady seemed pretty happy with Bridget Moynahan too, right? She even birthed his child, right? Apparently there was some trouble there at some point, because he's no longer with the mother of his child. You think wealthy famous people don't struggle? You really believe that?

Do you think we're all stupid? yer exactly what im talking about....... that text was from months earlier...and in no way related to the afc title game...it was from several months before....way before the playoffs...its a selective piece used by ted wells and given to you out of context......just like wells said "we dont need your phone ...as long as you provide us with the sufficient records we will take that for your word"....and wells said brady cooperated.......then months later when they found out bradys phone was gone, which brady told them, it became "the phone is destroyed...look"....they were never getting that phone to begin with so how was that relevant at all? he provided them with everything they asked for......its propoganda......there is no evidence to suggest those balls were below 12.5 when the game started the nfl, supposedly, was tipped off about the balls....yet they never measured them before the game and recorded them!!! thats amazing....they hand tested and approved them....by hand!!!! Do I believe those guys have let air out of balls for tom before? Sure.., when they were over inflated or max inflsted.....brady likes them on the low end....he has said that ....rodgers had said he likes them in the high end near the max.....the Jets have had issues with kicking balls before.....brady likes them low end and there is nothing to suggest they werenter at the minimum level when the gAme started You have the nfl leaking a false report about psi's and u think everything is in the up and up with them?

Bad_Mo_focher 1 Posted September 9, 2015 Brady has been real good, but let's not forget, Matt Cassell (who?) went 10-5 in that system when Brady was injured. By comparison, the Colts went 2-14 when Manning was injured for a season. Brady, to a large degree, is a product of that system. Cassell didn't even lead them to a playoff appearance that year.

bobby heenan 60 Posted September 9, 2015 Cassell didn't even lead them to a playoff appearance that year. Matt was also playing with a team that almost went 19-0 the year before....that is a talented team regardless who is quarterbacking them I'm not sure what the "system" is..., brady has been through tons of different personnel aND several different coordinators.....his system is making good rEads pre and post snap, calling out protections, and taking what the defense is giving him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JtmoneyJag 25 Posted September 9, 2015 This report will either uncover a lot more information and make things clearer or things will get even murkier. At this point, there is no hiding the truth. Public will demand something be done. I'll wait to judge the patriots though until we have more than what was reported. Side note, Jaguars head sets went out inexplicably during the 2007 playoffs (I believe 3rd quarter) and we have heard many more stories of this happening with the patriots.

It's not the integrity of the league that you're worried about......... it's about protecting the integrity of your pretty boy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobby heenan 60 Posted September 9, 2015 I got something for your admitted arrogance: 18-1. Suck it. Ya that's cool...I mean 4 titles...perennial super bowl contender....I'll take that over making the playoffs once every 3 or 5 years ....and 5 win seasons....and watching my qb get picked off 5 times in a home loss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Socnorb11 7 Posted September 9, 2015 I don't need to be convinced ....I'm simply sharing my point of view based off of what I've read .... Too many people speak on this situation and really don't know a damn thing about it .., they hear what espn tells them....and from what we've seen espn can't be trusted... So far nobody has made a solid counterpoint to the points I've brought up Balls were hand tested b fore gsme and approved..., never measured and recorded(wasn't the nfl supposedly tipped off about this before).....there's nothing to suggest the balls weren't at least at the minimum 12.5 when the game started ...., bottom line...end of story End of story?
