‘Embarrassing’ For NFL To Claim Ben Roethlisberger Wasn’t Using Cell Phone

[handicappers]

Looks like one of those arm-band play thingies, but flattened out. Maybe he removed the "band" part to have a more "flat" playsheet. hard to prove it's a phone.

Have you not seen the pics? Nor the video? It's not a black arm band as the league claims. It's an electronic device with ports/buttons on the side of it.

Umm, no, no it's not.

There is a shiny area that could be buttons or simply a reflection of plastic covering a play chart. There is absolutely NO PORTS to be see any where. Try again Mr. Deflector.

Simple way to find out. Ask for his phone, if he has nothing to hide he should just turn it over, right?

Geez, I don't care about the deflate stuff, but this thread is just terrible.

I will no longer feel sorry for Pats fans.

And you comment proves the double standard that is held, which is the whole point.

 

[NEhomer]

You used to feel sorry for us?

 

[4down20]

You used to?

Yeah, I think if the NFL is worried that much about the pressure in the football they should do a better job maintaining it.

But you guys are fucking ridiculous and stupid to even try to paint this as the same thing. It's fucking desperate and I no longer feel sorry for you. If you think this is a big deal then Brady should have gotten a lifetime ban.

 

[NEhomer]

I don't understand your logic.

There's a picture of Ben Rothlisberger using a cell phone.

 

[NEhomer]

The good thing is that he can take his own mug shots.

You're still missing the point. Most, if not all, of us don't think it's a big deal. What we are pointing out is how the league treats it differently when it's the Patriots. If that were Tom Brady what do you honestly think would have happened? Be honest with yourself.

I didn't miss the point at all. You're making a big deal out of nothing.

If that were Tom Brady I don't think anything would have happened. At worse there would have been some other group of people making a big deal over nothing and I would have rolled my eyes at them. Instead - it's Pats fans being dumb.

You don't think anything would have happened? Have you had your head in the sand for the last 8 months? The league made a Federal case, literally, out of .2 lbs of air pressure which occurred due to nature.

They did it with no evidence. (Their own admission under testimony.)

So long as he wasn't using his phone in relation to the game, no I don't really give a rats arse; however, the manner in which the league handled it was proof positive that the so called "Deflategate" wasn't about the "integrity" of the game, but about punishing a teams success in the interst of creating parity.

So what was your position on the .2 lbs of lost air pressure in the footballs during a cold weather game? Did you feel the same way, or are you, as I suspect, a hypocrite on the matter?

Cell Phone Gate?????

 

[NEPatsfan]

I think it's fair to say that it's more probable than not, that Ben was generally aware that he was using his phone on the sidelines.
