you missed the first point, but as for your post, it makes a big difference. For starters if Kraft pays out of the Patriot account, it's a business expenditure. And if the Pats were to somehow lose value, that cool million goes towards the bottom line and some sweet tax write offs. Not so if Kraft writes a personal check.

The Pats aren't going to lose any value with Super-Whiz Businessman Roger Gooddell running the show! He's the reason the owners are making so much money, from what I have been told.

Patriots get fined $1 million and are relieved of $6 in immediate and deferred payroll. Kraft came out $5 million ahead on that deal.

We were at the forefront of modern trolling when you were still kissing MOD ass.
its no coincidence CBS shut down the message board when they did.

collectively, we ran them into the ground. fuck, we gave R.W chan a nervous breakdown over uno.

Michael Silver from NFL channel seems to be the most logical guy. Listen to him he makes sense...you don't get rid of your star player for no reason that's insanity think about it how does it help the league? If brady was innocent why not let your lawyer hand over the pertinent texts to prove your innocence...I know I would as Didn't want anything else. Ridiculous...

Why would anyone turn over their phone to their employer? It's the same as if you go to work and they say they want to drug test you today. If you say "no" that means you have something to hide, right? See how that works?

thats my take

he asked 2 retards to deflate over inflated balls to 12.5 psi, with no gauge, a needle, and with no time or measurements.


But who over inflated the balls?

Each team brings their own balls to each game to be inspected by the officials. Are you saying Brady practiced with over inflated balls all week and then suddenly he tells the ball boy hey there is to much air in these please let out as much as possible but keep them legal?

As stated before in Patriot land with Brady liking smaller lower inflated balls there is no need for a deflator only and inflator. The balls boys job is to get the balls that are delivered to the facility and then pump then up or inflate them to the minimum legal limit which is what Brady wants. No air would ever need to be removed from any balls as they are already at the minimum level for all the practices. At times air may seep out or colder weather would cause a need to add air on occasion but a deflator is not at all needed in Patriot land

Plus if by chance for some reason the Patriot Balls boys over inflated the balls it would not be there job to deflate the balls to the proper level. The refs let the air out as they check the pressure with their own gauges. The problem comes in afterwards when the balls are approved as legal by the refs and then for some unforeseen reason at half time they were below the legal limit.

So the over inflated balls and the ball boys letting to much air out not having gauges does not wash or the balls would not have been approved for play to begin with as the ball boys having let out to much air would not have had them approved.

Maybe not. But I think we can safely conclude that you have no idea about how many eyeballs a story on a website gets, either.

I can't safely conclude if you're doing the 'say retarded shit' style of trolling or if you're really retarded.

Here's how most fans see it, other than Pats fans and bandwagon fans,
5 things they got wrong are;
1. nothing
2. nothing
3. nothing
4. nothing
5. and last but not least, NOTHING....

Even the best cheaters get caught sooner or later if they continue cheating....
Enjoy another tainted SB run........:L

This would be easier if you just admitted you have no clue what drives web traffic and moved on. People who try to be an expert on something they have no clue about are amusing, regardless.

Except this article was written by neither. You had your mind made up before the report even came out. I don't blame you, but you should read the article objectively to see just how fucked up the NFL is with their conclusions on this.

In all seriousness, I'm not sure if these guys are guilty of what is being suggested. Why did they delete a lot of their texts between one another and why didn't they turn them all over to the investigators from the start?

The game that they've played leaves a lot of people to believe that they were trying to hide something.
