Yeah, I know. I was being as ridiculous as everyone else about this tired fucking subject.

Having said all of that, I still want to know.

Let me ask you. Have Pats fans been saying stuff about shoes?

 

[RazorsEdge]

Well now that's peculiar.

They went rogue. Any misconduct was their own doing, and had no backing from the team or its players.

You could literally post this in every deflategate thread as the pats fans defense to facts.

Goodell needs to bring in Tom Cruise to interrogate Bob Kraft:

"Ok, Mr. Kraft, I have just one last question for you. If you gave the order not to deflate the balls below league standards, and your orders are always followed, why was it necessary to fire the two employees? Why the two orders?"

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Are they going to answer the question?

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Are they going to answer the question?

They got no clue why.

 

[WizardHawk]

Maybe they were able to read the texts by then?

If Brady is innocent then these two bumbling fools cost that organization MASSIVE penalties just because they are fucking retarded. You wouldn't fire them under that scenario?

I get the tone of the question, but it actually doesn't help the "he's guilty" crowd. If he's guilty they would be less likely to want them to talk so why fire/suspend them?

 

[RegentDenali]

Oh to be a fly on the wall of the owners meeting. Especially when Kraft demands that the penalties be reduced "for the good of the sport".

 

[CreepCreep2014]

Suspended = Fire? Interesting.....

Kabuki theater factor. Krafts shoved a bunch of hush money their way. But they got to fall on the sword just a bit to make it look like they acted solo, while not singing to the public about Brady and the Pats org telling them to deflate the balls each game.

And as for Brady? He went out and hired the Johnnie Cochran of lawyers for pro-sports athletes so expect a full press Chewbacca defense/threats of Tom going public with all the dirty laundry he's got on the NFL front office.

 

[CreepCreep2014]

Not to mention, they are part time employees who were only there on Sunday's, that was it. They were not at the stadium now or getting paid by the Pats. So who cares if they were suspended with out pay, they were not getting paid anyways..

Where did you read this?

 

[cwerph]

They were fired because they were so stupid they got caught. This is unacceptable in the Patriots' organization.
