Sports: Deflate-Gate

[pat fan]

I'm primarily a Seahawks fan and am looking forward to next season!

Heck of a game last year, nail biter to the end!

It truly was one for the ages! lol. We were with friends both Pats and Hawks fans so there was some good natured rivalry.
I can't wait for this season though, and hope to put some of the negatives of the past season behind us!

What do you all love about football?

Just announced Goodell upholds Tom Brady's four game suspension. It is good to see cheating punished.

Looks like he erased his server too.....err...I mean destroyed his cell phone.

 

[TAX GUY]

No one outside of Boston cares...

and he'll fight it all the way to Federal Court.

If you believe he was cheating.

I think this is just Goodell's ego refusing to admit that he is wrong.

So now I guess we are on to the courts?

Destroying his cell phone before meeting with investigators makes him look guilty even without the evidence.

We're nowhere near Boston and plenty of people here care.

Why do you think he destroyed the cell phone when he knew it had been requested in the investigation?

I think other fans care. I want an asterisk by his name saying caught and punished for cheating. On the other hand, an asterisk is not needed. He will always carry the cheater label.

Maybe he had some pictures of Giselle on there that he didn't want others to see.

no one outside of boston really cares about this story anymore. I am a huge sports fan, and just want it to be over and done with. bottom line is over turned or not, pats cheated, everyone knows it. doesn't matter if it gets overturned or not. bring on training camp, and lets get ready for some football.

I was pulling the first quote in from littlejimmy.

I can't answer as to why he did that. I just read that according to him (Brady), it's normal practice for him to destroy phones and SIM cards every 4 months or so. Why? I have no idea. Should it be investigated to see if he does in fact do this every 4 months? If he does, does that still mean he was hiding something?

Like someone else mentioned, only if that's what you believe. I don't think he's a cheater anymore than I think Peyton Manning is or Aaron Rogers.

I must have missed the NFL investigation that led to Manning's or Roger's suspension.

No surprise to anyone but Pats fans.....

I hope he takes it to court...he'll lose whatever little bit of his reputation he has left (outside of NE of course)

It's all just so stupid -- he didnt need to cheat to win....but just like his coach, he couldn't help himself.

So their own testimony that they also prefer the footballs softer or harder means they did things differently?

When you cheat to win no one can really know what the game would be like without cheating. It may look like a win anyway but who knows what happens when both teams play by the rules. That's the reason his record should be noted that he got there by cheating.

Maybe if more people did it we wouldn't have all the naked pics out there

Here come the lawyers. The courts are gonna want more proof than Goodell agreeing with Goodell

 

[asta]

A preference doesn't mean they stooped as low as Brady. Investigate and suspend if there is proof.

 

[MickeySP]

Now what will they do if after the new inflation rules show the same type of differential?

Will Goodell say "my bad oops!"

I missed the part where it was proven that Brady "stooped" that low? Plus, Aaron Rogers came right out and said he overinflates, on purpose. So, an admission of "guilt" means nothing but a "more probable than not" holds more water? OK...
