Does Goodell Rig The Election So Brady Can't Win MVP?

Of course I'm serious, why wouldn't I be?

Perhaps his 2-4 lifetime playoff record?

He did however make the Urban Dictionary. That's gotta count:

Romoception
Your favorite football teams starting quarterback throws a late game interception that loses the game.
Tony Romo, in practically every game he plays in. Romoception.

Pressure from NFL teams. Baltimore being one of whiners.

The Patriots have been the most dominant team in the NFL since the Kraft's bought them in 94'. And not by just a little bit, but by a huge margin. The NFL doesn't want a team to dominate for years on end, but have one team that has found a way to do just that.

Maybe... I think they are great with a big market team winning. And what is it? one SB win in the past 8 years? The pats have dominated the Brady era sure, but overwhelmingly in that era the Pats aren't the best team at years end. I agree the league doesn't want 1950's yankees or 60's packers where every other year or more they were winning it all. But this isn't even close to that. And why do you think the NFL wants to drop off one of the two most watched teams in the league? Is their goal to have fewer viewers? It makes no sense logically to make that argument, what if Oakland or Jacksonville become the next best AFC team... You think that's what the NFL wants? Drop a sure thing for income? Only reason I could see them not wanting NE there is if Dallas took their place, but Dallas has so many personal revenue rights, I doubt even that.



And even if he was, who really is thinking "oh if Brady can't play for 4 weeks, the Patriot dynasty will crumble never to be seen again", because that's what you are saying was Troy Vincent's thought when he handed out that suspension. Lifetime ban... Sure you may have an argument. Who thought Brady would have to come back from anything more than maybe 1 game behind a team in that division to win it? That's the goal to break the Pats dynasty? Put them a game back with 12 to play? I can't buy that... It's like saying someone's goal to stop DUI's is to raise the fines by 5 bucks.

You left out taking picks away.

Yeah because Vincent looked at 2007 on from the patriots and said "that works!"...

Noticed they upped the draft pick penalty this time by making it the highest they have for the round in question? Also why take the picks to begin with after clearing the Krafts and BB, if not to hurt the team?

Vincent never imagined they would go 3-1 to start the season, nor imagined the other three teams would be as bad as they are.

Brady and the Patriots didn't tamper with the balls, the loss of pressure was due to the Ideal Gas Law. The whole thing was started by the Ravens talking to the Colts, who then whined to the league. The league then set up a sting, when normally they would contact the team in question and say there was a complaint and they would be keeping an eye on it. Then they went all keystone cops mixed with a dash of inspecter Clouseau and botched the sting never recording any of the actual numbers pregame, and using mulitple uncertified gauges.

The league office will jump at any chance to level punishment upon the Patriots to slow them down. You mentioned only one SB in last decade or so, but you left out 10 AFC appearances in the last 15 years with 6 wins. That's dominance over one conference. That's dominance that pisses off the billion dollar boys club, and goes agaisnt the parity the league seeks.

And now the Patriots are the odds on favorite to make it to the AFC game again. What's that 7 years in a row if they do?

I think most everyone had them around 2-2 to start the season and I don't think anyone had another team going 4-0 in that division with all those teams having some games where they were really big underdogs. I don't think anyone said the patriots would be 2 or more games back by week 4. If you think Vincent thought that 4 games without Brady would put the pats in an insurmountable, dynasty destroying hole against those AFC east powerhouses, I don't really know what else to say to you.


Yes, the league cleared the Kraft's and Belichick from any proof they knew of this. That's why Belichick was not personally fined. But as owner of the team Robert Kraft is responsible for what paid members of his team do whether he is part of it or not. Just like last time and just like what happens to other teams. And the punishment was heavier for another major cheating scandal. I am sure if the Saints have another major team involved scandal, their punishment will be bigger too. Just like every punishment the NFL hands out. Do it more often, get punished harder (though I think the real reason the punishments were so big was that they failed to admit any wrongdoing and move on).


And yes they did tamper with the balls. The ideal gas law only partially explains the possibility of the balls being that low which multiple physicists NOT on Kraft's payroll have said again and again. They didn't set up a sting, that would have been easy enough. Write down the pressures, and when the "deflator" absconds with the balls, get them back and retest and done. Simple and easy, your lines are already written before an investigation so there's NO question of what you measured with, thus not a sting, they would have had to be intentionally sabatoging their sting if it was. Like literally 60 seconds of planning a sting would have worked out better. So don't try and tell me the NFL was all hell bent on this and couldn't plan the most basic fucking necessities of a sting, but then cover it up to fucking perfection where not a word of the sting comes out anywhere.

Sorry I was sold when the fucking guy who allegedly deflated the footballs was called the deflator. It's like OJ Simpson calling himself "the wife-stabber" in private and some idiot out there is still trying to call him innocent and make a claim that was a sexual term. Then of course when Brady took his own defense he ruined his entire reasoning with the league on why he couldn't give up his cell phone and crossed out his own story with the league (had no bearing legally as he wasn't under oath with the league).

But hey, lets keep playing the victim card put on our foil hats and come up with these insane illogical reasons of why the NFL is out to get you, and join the fans of 31 other teams thinking it's about them when they don't get a call, or get a team punishment, or whatever.


And yes the Pats are a great team, and the current dynasty, which has been great for the NFL. But the NFL wants to risk ruining their league (if it ever came out they were breaking league rules to improperly go after a team), in order to hurt their league (by stopping a major market draw being a great team).





You keep talking parity. The NFL has it. Sure the Patriots are the best but it's not like watching Alabama win 55-10 10 out of 10 times vs. their non-conference cupcake. Philly with a lame duck coach can beat them. Miami with a fired coach and Tannehill can beat them.

That's good parity in sports. Any Given Sunday. Where even a 3 win Raider team can go on the road to NE and come within a tipped redzone pass of beating the eventual SB champs. The NFL doesn't want 32 8-8 teams.

the ignorance in that statement from falling for too much MSM sports reporting is simply stunning.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Everyone on planet earth had the Pats going 3-1 at worst without Brady

If Jimmy doesn't get hurt, and a guy didn't start that has no right owning an NFL uniform, they would have been 4-0

Everyone? I had them going 2-2, most people I know had them going 2-2 or 1-3.

Guess its how people viewed Jimmy, Ive always been a fan of his since college, and with BB, I never thought theyd lose home games to the Fins, Texans or Bills

Like most people, I had them losing at Arizona

I had them losing to the Cards, and Texans, with the Bills a possibility.

Bills @ home ?

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Bills @ home ?

Never underestimate BB, especially at home

I always felt he would find a way to destroy Brock Lobster and the Texans, and get by against the Bills in a tough one....

BB is 3-2 vs Bills and 26-3 vs them w/ TB but your right at home, they never lose to an AFC team

 

[NEhomer]

Dirt, you have the same level of credibility to discuss the Patriots as HammerDown.

You're a delusional cry baby and Brady's spanking your emotions yet again this year.

 

[jarntt]

Except there is no actual evidence any tampering occurred, and the ball PSI's fell exactly within the window of the IGL.

You just won't accept it becasue of your hatred of the Patriots, not because of any type of empirical evidence.

Yeah this again!!!

 

[Money]

So it only counts if you win with more than 1 qb? So what does that say about the 40% of teams that have never won?

And it isn't a theory, it's a fact. You just won't except it because of your hatred of the Patriots.

Yep...everyone's against the Patriots = fact

 

[sonnyblack65]

Yep...everyone's against the Patriots = fact

It's a cross I must carry, sad but true
