Report: Belichick, Patriots Doctor Colluded to End Player's Career to Avoid Payment

[HammerDown]

Curious how you ended up such a moron.

Toughen up or GTFO.

 

[NEPatsfan]

I'm flattered that the Boston Globe refers to my "bottom trolling" as "explosive."

The Boston Globe? That is what your are going with for credibility? Are you familiar with the history of the Boston Globe and it's fabrication of witnesses and stories?

 

[Sgthall999]

Yet no one has ever seen it happen in other games? Maybe verbally but not physically moving a player and usually play is flagged and stopped for safety.

Are you really surprised about the shitty officiating this year? Still scratching my head about the so-called helmet to helmet penalty against a Charger Sunday night.

 

[HammerDown]

Haha true but I did find it a little odd that a ref actually physically moved a pats player to avoid penalty. I don't remember that happening before and neither did any of my acquaintances. Who are fans of various teams...always seems it's about the Patriots like homer says.

How about the time the ref started to spot the ball on a close 4th-n-inches, turns around, checks the 1st-down marker and moves the ball a couple of inches closer for the Pats.

But don't question it. That's not allowed.

Woops meant Browner's helmet to helmet penalty

Is it not true?

"The Boston Globe is smearing the Pats."

I have fucking HEARD IT ALL.

 

[HammerDown]

Yes, it's true. You're scared and ashamed.

Or the time in the SB where Jacobs of the Giants on a 4th and 1 converted with a 2 yd run and the refs stopped the clock and didn't restart it till the next snap. Allowing time to remain on the clock that would normally have run off likely leading to the scoring play never occurring.

But don't question it. That's not allowed.

Well now you'll know to keep an eye out for it. It is actually what they have been told to do in the interest of the long snappers safety. Sure it's a potential penalty, but the NFL in this particular safety has decided to prevent it from happening at all.

Not saying that it's a bad thing but you'd like to see this happen in every game not just in NE. Not one person has seen it happen to this extent that I spoke to and we're all big time NFL fans.

There was a ref one time who called offensive holding on the Pats.

He ended up dead.

 

[Sgthall999]

Again, what about the phantom helmet to helmet penalty on Brandon Browner that cost NE a TD? I thought all the calls went the Pats' way.

 

[NEPatsfan]

I have fucking HEARD IT ALL.

maybe they are maybe they are not. Not the point I made now is it? And my thinking you might fall under the spectrum of intellectual disability, since people seem to be all pc about the use of moron, is gaining evidence of being factual.

Believe me I know just watch the ravens game but I'm talking about a ref moving a player to avoid penalty. Usually flag just comes out as I've never seen it happen..

That my Fin friend is what one would call anecdotal evidence, no? I've never seen the giant squid, nor has anyone I personally know, therefore they must not exist.

Mike Pereira already explained that its just not helmet to helmet but you cant hit anybody above the v of their collar. So it was a correct call

 

[FlyerFinFan]

BTW yes that was a bad call but how about three illegal linemen down field calls on key plays...apparently harbough told the refs to watch for it last week.

 

[Moab]

It's probably because there really isn't anything to address. It's just some bottom trolling by hammered.

Really, ok let's take a look at this with you as the employee.

You apply to McDonalds (trying to make this realistic) and you get the job. They're going to give you a $5000 sign on bonus pending a physical by x date. They require that you see their physician and you get it set up. In the mean time they find somebody else they'd like to hire and don't require them to take the physical. They call their physician and tell them to delay your physical until after the required date, therefore making you ineligible for the job and signing bonus.

Does that seem like something that is fair and reasonable to you?

Here you go from the NY Post, don't personally care for them but that doesn't change the quotes of the people asked about that particular play.

“We call it preventative officiating,” NFL vice president of officiating Dean Blandino said on NFL Network. “Because it’s a player safety rule we’re trying to avoid a situation before it happens, so the umpires will get in there and move that player out of there. More often you see it when a player is in a three-point stance and he’s down on the line of scrimmage, you’ll see the umpire tap the player to move him out of that, because we have to be outside the framework of the center.”
Jets coach Rex Ryan also had no issue with the official’s actions.
“I think that’s the best officiating crew in the league, in my opinion,” Ryan said on a conference call Friday. “I think [referee Bill] Leavy and his crew do as good a job as anybody in the league. This league’s about protecting the players, and that’s the way it should be. If something like that happens, you’re trying to protect the player before something has a chance to happen. Obviously, that’s a good thing for the league.
“Now, would I like to see it snapped there and Tanner take one for the team and us to have another chance at it? Of course. It’s to protect the players. The official’s not wrong doing what he did.”

It may but has anyone seen it happen before? You just told us that the refs have been instructed to do this for player safety. If so why has only the pats benefitted from the refs assistance? Just a little strange...
