Sometimes I am amazed at the stupidity.

The guy didn't even realize the NFL already had EVERY text message to the ball boys and equipment managers. I explained it, but he has no brains. Zero proof, can't explain why Brady did so well with regulation balls, probably doesn't know much about this at all.

Unfrickingbelievable.

Besides, I don’t think you are a Nazi.

I think you are one of the people they dragged off to a cell after they willingly opened the door to their house to the Nazis because they didn’t do anything wrong.

As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn illustrated so well in “The Gulag Archipelago”, there never seems to be a shortage of people who didn’t do anything wrong.

Sorry, I’ve been watching the NFL for 40 years: EVERYBODY cheats.

I'll up you 10 years and totally agree with you. There's a special kind of hate for everything "Patriot" out there. They aren't my team but I do love the way Belichick handles the media slimes.

You sound like a blind Hillary supporter regurgitating what you hear on ETV.

Everyone knows that. And that is what makes him destroying his phone so puzzling. He and his lawyer could made it possible that ONLY texts pertinent to the case would be revealed and nothing else but before that was even considered he destroyed it. Weird.

Again, it’s bullshit.

If they are guilty than so aren’t the rest of the NFL teams.

Jealousy is a horrible thing. Especially when it clouds judgement.

But Tom did something wrong. He destroyed his phone. So your analogy is just crazy talk.

Your ignorance is overwhelming. Please read the posts carefully (also those of rlmorel) and don't be so damn stupid.

Yep, you still believe the seriousness of the charge is what matters.

Don't post to me again until you have some evidence (which you know doesn't exist), fools don't deserve long conversations, it's not worth it.

“If Brady would've just handed over his phone to prove his innocence and that there were no texts between him and the equipment manager about ball pressure, the investigation would have stopped there.
But alas, he hindered the investigation by destroying the phone. The coverup is always worse than the crime.”

You don't know what you are talking about.

No notice was given to Brady that not relinquishing his phone or phone records would be a punishable offense. He had been told the opposite.

It was only much later that Goodell brought up the phone.

Also the NFL had the equipment manager's phone. Any texts between Brady and the equipment manager would be on that phone.

It has been proved there was no tampering with the footballs.

People who are ostensibly conservatives sure don’t look that way when they let their emotions control their logical processes.

To a lot of people, including some people on this thread, it is okay to have a cop smash your rear light (manufactured cause, similar to the stupid ESPN report about “underinflated footballs” that mush-headed drones just snap up because...”Well, why would ESPN tell a lie?”) so they can rummage through your car, personal belongings, and pockets until they come up with something to haul you in on.

Because that whole mess by the league was. The whole thing was based on an outright lie, and a personal, emotional vendetta. That’s it.

I have read where James Harrison said sure, I’ll take a test and video tape so the NFL does not tamper with the test.

Even during “Spygate” the only thing the Patriots did differently was tape record the Jets from the sidelines. EVERYONE else does it from the first row in the stands, which is completely legal.

Also, why do all the offensive and defensive coordinators cover their mouths with a something when they are talking into their microphone on the sideline? That is because all the opposing teams employ lip readers to steal their plays if possible.

Yeah I saw something like that. I find this new passive aggressive version of Harrison quite entertaining. It’s frankly ridiculous that league waited so long to investigate these claims and then expect the players named to suddenly (over a year later) be eager to drop everything for it. And Harrison’s “willingness” to cooperate on his own terms is exactly the answer they deserve.

No it means the obsessing over the Patriots NON-STORY is being driven by something other than what is acceptable.
