TheBillsWillRiseAgain Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 God I can't wait to get home so I can watch this press conference. I think I got a little chub just thinking about it.
dave mcbride Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Brady is getting absolutely eviscerated on ESPN. The whole team's getting slammed, but Brady...absolutely eviscerated. That's great and all, but you do realize that that awful network makes its bread and butter through controversy enhancement, and usually employs absolute fools like Merrill Hoge and Skip Bayless to perform said task?
DC Tom Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I don't watch much ESPN anymore so someone fill me in on what the NFL experts have been saying... Summarizing... "bull ****!"
papazoid Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 where is Pats' equipment manager Dave Schoenfeld ?
DC Tom Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 That's great and all, but you do realize that that awful network makes its bread and butter through controversy enhancement, and usually employs absolute fools like Merrill Hoge and Skip Bayless to perform said task? And if it were Hoge and Bayless doing the evisceration, I'd be laughing at them and not the Pats.
YoloinOhio Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 How can Brady say he likes the ball at 12.5 ...if he also says he can't tell the difference?
dave mcbride Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Yeah, Brunell, Bettis, and Dawkins are all part of the conspiracy. Given that Brunell played under Coughlin and Ryan, I suspect he does hate him. Bettis remembers that AFC championship game too. Dawkins remembers the Eagles/Pats Super Bowl. So yeah, I think they do all hate the Pats and by extension Brady. I'm not saying that's wrong, of course.
BRH Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Schefter signals where we go from here. "I don't think we're going to get any answers." In other words, let's move on.

Kelly the Dog Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) I'm not comparing Brady to OJ in any way except this one: The only thing you really needed to know about OJ's guilt, was that he didn't spend every waking moment trying to find out who was the killer of his beloved wife and who got him arrested and thought of by everyone as the killer. The same thing applies here. Brady knows the problem in the media now. If he didn't know a thing, he would be spending every moment trying to find out who fukked him over, who was responsible for sullying his perfect image, who was trying to take down the dynasty. There would be no other reasonable response. That was a PATHETIC press conference. He DOESN'T SQUEEZE THE FOOTBALLS WHEN HE IS TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THEY ARE PERFECT?!!!!! Holy schit that was pitiful. Edited January 22, 2015 by Kelly the Dog

Holy schit that was pitiful. So, now you are comparing him to a guy who chopped up 2 people? Why bring OJ into this?
billsfan714 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Nice to know they're going with the Sgt. Shultz defense.
DC Tom Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 So, now you are comparing him to a guy who chopped up 2 people? Why bring OJ into this? Chopping up people and deflating footballs are both against the rules. Just like holding.
Rubes Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Ian Rapoport @RapSheet Based on my knowledge of how investigations often go, it makes sense Tom Brady hasn’t been spoken to yet. He would be last.

Usually the NFL is protected. Especially on NFL Live. Props to Brunell and Bettis though.
What a Tuel Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Maybe Brunell hates Brady, or Belichick, I don't think he is any more reliable than any of the QB's who say "It's no big deal". Apparently it's his personal preference, and left it up to the officials to notice, just like when guys hold, or any other penalty. Or if you want to consider it "off-the field" it's akin to PED's. And he should be suspended like PED users (which are rampant across the league, no? And plenty of winning teams have had players suspended). http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/video/aikman-on-deflategate-i-can-t-imagine-brady-wouldn-t-have-known-012115 Listen to the end.

Dorkington Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Ok, so let's give benefit of the doubt... Coach didn't know. QB didn't know. None of the Patriots noticed. Have they just always been playing with softer balls because someone up in the FO has been feeding them to the team? There's really no logical way out of this at this point. The NFL is gonna have to do something. I still think they'll try to get the Seahawks to win, and the penalty will be light, and the story will be swept away as best as possible.
