GM's thread about nothing (31 Viewers)

[Thorn]

Should have disqualified them at halftime and embarrassed them in front of the entire world.

As it stands now.... The Pats will get away with yet another shady violation and if they win the Super Bowl, it will all be worth it again and won't stop them from cheating again in the future.

I understand the silliness of the situation and joelousy of the matter BUT a rule is a rule. Bottom line the Pats broke a rule once again and I think the penalty is going to be severe. Possible BB being suspended all of next year possibly. The other owners are probably blowing up Goodells phone as we speak about this, and after the Rice situation and how Goodell screwed that up and almost lost his job, I believe the league will it just over look this and have the pats pay severely

As Jim Gaffigan says, having a fourth kid is like you're drowning.......and someone hands you a baby.

Congrats GM. Frankly, I think you're a genius. They say that going from your 3rd to your 4th kid is the toughest and everything after that is no big deal. So you found the loophole in the system and just went from 3 straight to 5. Genius!

Pretty sure going from 0 to 1 is the hardest, but then again I'm stuck on 1

Don't be afraid to stop at 1

i did. this event in GM's life may just be the impetus i need to finally convince myself to get snipped.

I have a buddy who was a week away from the procedure when he and his wife found out she was pregnant with their 4th.

Did he go through with it or just throw his hands up in the air as a form of a surrender when he realized his efforts were futile and it no longer mattered at that point?

Went through with it. No way was he tempting fat and risking a 5th.

Sounds reasonable. Must have come from the Shark Pool.

Should probably use the coming weekend to have a playoff between the two teams the Pats beat to see who should actually go to the SB.

that's when you walk all the way around yourself, right?

If New England was to be DQ'd.. We'd be their replacements right??... I should probably lay off these strawberry margs

If the NFL vacates NE's wins this year, that makes the Doug Marrone/Kyle Orton lead Bills the AFC Champs!

This is a big deal. The timing couldn't be worse. The biggest microscope in sports is the weeks leading up to the superbowl, and for this to break now means it can't be swept under the rug. The NFL is interested in international expansion, they have to be very careful with the optics.

Here's how this will play out with the international press:

• one of the teams in the Superbowl got caught cheating.
• that team has gotten caught cheating before.
• If they cheat with equipment rules, and spying on other teams, how else have they been cheating?
• What kind of competitive advantage have they gained by doing all of this?
• Does the NFL have any integrity at all?

I don't think they can sweep this under the rug. Belichick is now a repeat offender, I don't think Godell will have a choice but to throw the book at him. This incident has brought the integrity of the entire league under question at a time when the whole world will be watching.

Here are the facts as I see them:

• 11 of 12 balls being under inflated rules out a leak or faulty equipment.
• I just ran some numbers w/ ideal gas law. to get from 12.5 PSI to 10.5 PSI takes a drop in temperature of 87 degrees F, so we rule out natural depressurization.
• Underinflated balls can gain a team a non-trivial competitive advantage - goes to motive.
• There are rules, spelled out in black and white, as to regulation. this isn't a wishy-washy spirit of the law here. The Patriots were caught red handed using illegal equipment.
• The Patriots are repeat offenders.
• The last coach involved with shenanigans was suspended for a year.

The above, coupled with the intense media focus during superbowl week, will leave Godell no choice but to suspend Belichick and possibly his staff for at least a year, plus dock draft picks. High ones.

I'm not a Patriot hater, even if I strongly dislike some of their fans. I respect the hell out of Bill Belichick and that whole organization. However, I believe that Belichick has fostered an organizational culture that encourages pushing the boundaries of legality.

I'll stop now. Belicheck, and his staff, out for a year at least, plus loss of high draft picks. Jesus Christ on a pogo stick.

something is really wrong with me. Things are going so well right now that I'm developing a sense of dread that something terrible must be about to happen, like getting someone pregnant with twins.

The league should dissolve the team and scatter the players amongst the remaining teams.

Brady+Gronk to Chicago IMO

I'm not sure which one would be more entertaining: the reaction of Patriots fans to such sanctions, or the reaction of the haters when (of course) they don't happen. Either way,

I doubt it. Go ahead and tell her the one about getting her sister or hot friend in the mix. She'll appreciate your honesty and it may even turn her on.

Someone else checked the math on ball depressurization, though, and found an error. I #### you not.

I don't understand. Are these people Colts fans or just hate the Patriots kind of people. Colin Cowherd pointed out that the refs were made aware of the ball situation (he he) at halftime. Well, if that's the case and adjustments were made, New England came out in the 2nd half and whipped Indy's assssssssssssssss.

This is the dumbest controversy I've ever seen.

 

[General Malaise]

The correct answer here: "Yes honey, I fantasize about you constantly. I really can't get enough of you".

and maybe your hot cousin.

[Idiot Boxer]

I had a 100 question test my senior year in high school. I studied a lot and was well prepared, but just in case I prepared a crib sheet. I did ok on the first half of the test, but my teacher discovered the crib notes after the first 50 questions were answered. I aced the second half! 49/50. But now my teacher is accusingly of cheating. Such BS. Would have aced the test anyway.
