Belichik's main problem is that somehow between Thursday (I don't understand this stuff) and today at 3pm, he became an expert. 

 

This is all so bullish.

Nobody outside of the New England fan base believes him...and frankly, I'm not even sure they believe him, they just don't care.

Oh, you should check out some NE sites.  He has become a nuclear physicist.  He will put humankind on Mars.

[That Aud Smell]

I saw someone tweet to the effect that Belichick had the sound of a man who was taking a stand in defense of everything he'd ever done, and accomplished.

 

I tend to agree.

 

My favorite takeaways: the vigorous rubbing of bladders.

I miss Polian directing the marching band to go play behind the Colts bench. Or maybe it was KC.

That's the exact feeling I'm getting from those I have talked to. It's mostly a brazen "yeah, the balls were deflated, so what" response each time.

Football ruling sky-council (they're not cool enough to have football gods like hockey), please let the Patriots fumble 5 times on Sunday and lose 47-3.

Of course, now that the idiot Richard Sherman opened his mouth, the scales have moved closer to balanced. Here's an idea for you Richard, if you really do believe that Kraft and Goodell really are so closely tied together, do you really want to give them even more reason to conspire against you?

I am of the opinion that almost everything Sherman says is calculated.  I think he's a master troll.

Agreed. He knows exactly what he is doing.

I'd love to know what his plan with this one was though. Seattle was able to fly completely under the radar up to this point. I don't think I heard a single word about them last week other than a quick thing about the Lynch crotch grabbing crap. This comment will quickly go away too, but it just feels like an ego thing to me more than anything else. "Hey, remember me? I'm still out here."

The plan was to keep distracting the Patriots, I'd think.

That seems kind of pointless when you have a team that is around this late every single season. If there's an organization that knows all about the distractions of media week, it's New England.

 

At this point, I feel like there are only two possible ways this game can go, a blowout one way or the other. They either fall apart under this scandal or they come out pissed and united. But either way, I'm not watching.

Sherman's comment has nothing to do with the Patriots. It was all about his ongoing fued with the NFL, and Goodell in particular.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

You all know that I don't really follow the NFL ... the Bills I check up on now and then due to family in the area and I used to go to some games way back.

 

Anyway, I hope that the cheaters get their (deflated)balls handed to them on silver platers in the SB and have a good whooping put on them.

I didn't know Sherman had a feud w/ the NFL and Goodell.  I know his teammate does.

I just quickly cut and paste this out of an ESPN story:

 

  Quote

"Will they be punished? Probably not," Sherman said. "Not as long as Robert Kraft and Roger Goodell are still taking pictures at their respective homes.

 

"You talk about conflict of interest. As long as that happens, it won't affect them at all. Nothing will stop them."

That's not about the Patriots?

I'm glad he's saying it. It speaks volumes to how the league operates. Shady behind the scenes crap everywhere.

Sherman has blasted the NFL for preaching about player safety and fining defensive players for their hits while pushing for an 18 game schedule, the fines for Lynch not talking, and the NFL's sanctions against players who push their personal sponsors over the league's sponsors. Take this, for example: http://blogs.seattletimes.com/seahawks/2014/11/25/seattle-seahawk-cornerback-richard-sherman-protests-marshawn-lynch-fine-in-a-rather-unique-way/

It involves the Patriots, of course. But about them? I don't think so. I think it was primarily a shot at Goodell for having a conflict of interest and being arbitrary and/or hypocritical in his punishments for various acts.

[SwampD]

Can anyone even imagine what would happen if Jerry Hughes got in a ref's face and yelled at him the way Tom Brady does?

Just like every other league. That's why the conspiracy stuff bores me. It is not the least bit unique.

It's actually only shady when it is behind the scenes. This is right out in the open.

NFL has zeroed in on a locker room attendant w Patriots who allegedly took balls from officials locker room to another area on way to field. Sources say they have interviewed him and additionally have video. Still gauging if any wrong doing occurred with him but he is strong person of interest.

[Hoss]

That's from Glazer, by the way.

 

Of course he was acting completely alone and did it without any direction from others within the organization.

Right on time.

 

Show of hands as to who thinks the league and the Patriots didn't coordinate efforts over the weekend . . .

 

Yeah. Thought so.

I find the Pats fans flipping about the Seahawks and their use of adderall as defense for their cheating. First of all: when does cheating excuse cheating? Never. Second of all: one of those players that was caught using addy is on your team now, dipshits.
