I like that the Patriots investigated themselves and found no wrong doing.

Its all good! NOTHING TO SEE HERE!

Droford 01-25-2015 03:45 PM

There's an article on the Boston globe basically blaming all the deflategate crap on John Harbaugh for ratting them out to the Colts and Chuck Pagano who is still close with a lot of people in the Ravens organization. Of course they mentioned Ray Rice to for good measure.

Quote:

In the public sphere, the Patriots have been the only team involved in the Deflategate controversy that tarnished their bye week as they prepare to face the Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX. The Colts were an ancillary participant.

But inside the walls of Gillette Stadium and across the league, Harbaugh is viewed as the one responsible for starting this whole mess — casting a dark cloud above the league’s signature event, staining the reputations of Belichick and Tom Brady, and blowing the lid off another of the league’s dirty secrets about football doctoring.

It’s Harbaugh who supposedly concocted this scheme with good buddy Chuck Pagano, the Colts’ coach who was one of Harbaugh’s top defensive lieutenants for four years in Baltimore, after the Patriots pulled some trickery on the Ravens in the playoffs two weeks ago. Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer reported as much last week, and while there’s no concrete proof of this yet, that’s what the Patriots and many others across the league believe. Glazer also reported that the Ravens suspected something wrong with their kicking balls, although those stay in the officials’ possession from Saturday until literally right at kickoff.

This little tit-for-tat between the Ravens and Patriots escalated quickly. It began with Harbaugh accusing the Patriots of “deception” with their eligible-ineligible tactics in New England’s dramatic 35-31 comeback win in the divisional round Jan. 10.

A few feet down the hall at Gillette Stadium, Brady shot right back.

“Maybe those guys got to study the rule book and figure it out?” Brady said. “We obviously knew what we were doing.”

Harbaugh, supposedly, got his revenge a week later with his buddy Pagano. “Oh, so you want to talk about the rule book? Let’s check those footballs.”

You can imagine the Patriots’ reaction — let’s just say it was a word that starts with the letter “P” and rhymes with “missed.” Never mind that the Patriots may have been deliberately skirting the rules (although the NFL has not determined anything at this point). In NFL circles, ratting out the Patriots was the far bigger crime.

And Harbaugh, whose team hasn’t exactly been a beacon of morality and truth since Ray Rice punched his fiancé in February, has the gall to act smugly about the Patriots?

Crimson 01-25-2015 04:28 PM

Is the author a Pats fan? Of course Harbaugh should act "smugly" , that's his enemy.

owenbrown 01-25-2015 04:47 PM

Emperor Smeat 01-27-2015 12:18 AM

According to ESPN or the way they worded it, seems like the NFL is having some serious problems with the Deflategate investigations. Compared to what was leaked or hinted at the start, the NFL doesn't have anything concrete on what actually happened. They only have a small idea on how it might have happened but nothing to come close to an official stance.

Robert Kraft is upset at the NFL for dragging this out and implying the Pats are completely guilty without the actual proof needed. Also wants the constant leaks to the media stopped since its helping no one.

The league is still gauging if any wrongdoing occurred, but he is a strong person of interest, Fox Sports reported.

The location in question was a bathroom in which the attendant can be seen in the video entering and exiting in 90 seconds with the 24 footballs provided by both teams, according to Pro Football Talk, which cited an anonymous league source.

The bathroom is a small, one-toilet room with one sink and has a door that locks from the inside, the Pro Football Talk report said.

Meanwhile, Ted Wells, the investigator hired by the NFL, said Monday that he expects his investigation to last at least several more weeks.

Making things a bit worse for the NFL is the timing for the deflating is likely too short for what the NFL stated the balls were deflated by.


A report from NBCSports hints that the NFL likely was wrong about how much the balls were under-inflated with only the INT ball being under 2 pounds and the rest between a half a pound to a pound at most.
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...r-deflategate/


Also both Dan Marino and Steve Theisman both hinted dropping a pound in air weight wouldn't have that big of an impact and something they had done to their balls during their careers.

Rams likely out of St Louis as early as 2016 based on recent changes made to their lease. Found a loophole in their lease that allowed the changes to be made. To keep them beyond 2016, its going to cost the city at least $700 million minimum for a new stadium the Rams want.

Quote:

The Rams took the first step toward lame-duck status in St. Louis and a possible move back to the West Coast, notifying the city's Convention and Visitors Commission on Monday that they intend to shift to a year-to-year lease agreement for their use of the Edward Jones Dome.

The CVC, which operates the dome, confirmed the move Monday. The Rams referred comments to the CVC ...

Under terms of a 30-year lease agreement reached in 1995, the Rams had the ability to convert the lease to annual terms if the dome was not deemed among the top 25 percent of NFL stadiums based on various criteria. The team had until Wednesday to tell the city of its plans.
http://hosted2.ap.org/ORBEN/a83f53f6...a#.VMcBO8ZYxUS


Same Rams ownership also stated he'd have no problems sharing the LA market with a second team. Raiders and Chargers would be the frontrunners for that 2nd spot.

Also. How are The Seahawks the good guys in all of this? Multiple PED offenses. They essentially constructed a stadium to make them better by making their fans much louder than they actually are (not illegal. But more of a "come on" thing.) And Pete Carroll is an asshole. Ask USC. Abandoned everybody after he told the team he'd be back and signed prospects. Left the team to deal with a huge pile of shit on their own.

Quote:

PHOENIX—Explaining his position on the sociological issue during a Tuesday press conference at Super Bowl Media Day, Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch reportedly delivered an incredibly thoughtful and eloquent 45-minute address on the topic of privacy in the 21st century. “While increasingly exhaustive access to media has delivered many benefits to the American way of life, this same heightened scrutiny has simultaneously imposed progressively greater obstacles to our personal privacy, thus presenting ethical challenges unique to the internet age,” said the five-time Pro Bowler, calmly strolling back and forth with a microphone in hand while making eye contact with each individual member of the assembled national sports media. “Privacy versus accessibility; secrecy versus convenience; the individual versus the greater virtual communities of the digital landscape. At first blush, these appear to be the fundamental poles around which the modern privacy debate circles, but they have only grown more multifaceted and complex as the technological paradigm perpetually shifts. When meditating on the give-and-take of ever-evolving technology, I am often reminded of a quote from George Orwell: ‘Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.’ Could it be, in perhaps the ultimate irony, that with every technological advancement, with every marvel of engineering that seemingly brings us closer together and rips down the very walls that once divided the world, that with every such step forward, we have become ever more guarded about our own personal boundaries and the information we are comfortable sharing with one another? And in doing so, do we in fact chip away at the very core of what makes for a civilized society, and in an even broader sense, the very notion of being human? For to be human is inherently to be social, and yet it is also to desire control. With the public domain seemingly encompassing a greater and greater volume of personal information, that control has been ceded. The so-called right to privacy, as it were, is no longer a right inasmuch as it is now a privilege, to be enjoyed until it is torn away at a moment’s notice. Conversely, we so often desire to break down that same right to privacy of our fellow human beings, shielding ourselves while exposing others, just as a snake devours its own tail. Perhaps the biggest question of all is whether privacy itself—at least in the traditional sense—even exists in today’s world, or if it is simply a relic of a past time that bears no more meaning or significance than Aristotelian physics or the idea of a geocentric universe. Simple answers to such queries do not exist, I’m afraid, but in exploring them, we can at the very least hold a mirror to society and possibly even to ourselves—and that is something I hope to accomplish with all of you here today.” Following his lengthy treatise, Lynch stressed that he was only capable of delivering a cursory examination of such an extensive issue during his allotted time and urged those in attendance to contact him with any questions if they wished to discuss the matter in greater depth.

So apparently a big reason why Deflate-Gate needs a few more weeks of investigations is because both the refs and the NFL forgot to actually weigh the balls and write down the details when they checked the balls.

All the numbers being leaked or reported so far are just guesses by the NFL.

Could be a "blessing in disguise" since it's being thrown around now that he has torn ligaments in his elbow

Someone from the patriots will pay the hospital to call him to tell his wife in in labor 20 minutes before the game.

Babygate

Or more devious theyll pay the doctor to slip her some drugs to induce the labor

God football is so gay. It's basically a 24/7 gossip mag where everyone frets over stupid inconsequential nonsense and on a very rare occasion there's a also a football game.

And yet I will never stop watching.

The two weeks leading up to the Superbowl is always filled with this kind of fluff and nonsense. The downside of having a 24-hour news cycle

Have not listened to any radio talk for the last 2 weeks. What are the main stories besides Deflategate?

<font color=goldenrod>From an actual game perspective, it's not too different from last year. Top offense vs. top defense. Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas are question marks with injury.

From a "legacy" standpoint you have the Seahawks looking to be the first team to repeat in a decade, and Brady/Belichick chasing their seemingly elusive 4th ring. If the Pats win though the general public is still going to say that there's an asterisk over their entire "regime" since 2001 which is a bit daft as they're clearly a very good team and would be even without unnecessary cheating and the like.</font>

No way. If Pats win I think it's unanimous that Brady/Belichek are given "all-time greatest" at their respective positions. No question.
