The Washington Post nails deflate gate yet again...must read.

[cubzzzfanincali]

There are journalists who should be given raises over Deflategate, and others who should be fired. But leaving "attack the source" posts aside, what is it people make of the substance of the arguments? When you are about which journalist said what, you are taking the discussion into the realm of the irrelevant.

The detailed AEI takedown of the Wells report, of which the NFL's ruling this week shockingly said NOTHING, is what should be discussed. Instead, every thread I read everywhere is like a bunch of teenagers arguing about which student paper chick is the hottest.

FIRE ROGER GOODELL. NOW.

If the cell phone had evidence that could prove Brady had no idea about the deflated football's, Brady would a keep that phone like the holy grail... No way in hell would he throw away that phone... End of story...

Damn right.

Damn right.

So now Harold is going to do what no person has done in history, prove a negative, i.e. "Russell's teapot".

Your hopeless. Going to put a big smile on my face when Brady loses this.

The battlecry of the simple-minded.

Harold has common sense. You? Not so much.

come on bro.... Wikipedia..... Really?

It's considered a source in MaryLand

 

[CreepCreep2014]

This was a better read. Explains and breaks down better than anything I have seen. Compares the Wells report to Rog's reason for the suspension and up holding it. Gives you an idea of what is next to come for both.

FIRE ROGER GOODELL

They need a honorable man like Robert Kraft as Commish, right Hammer?

 

[handicappers]

why would i have to stalk an article author?

do you know who john dowd is?

no, because you are illiterate.

and the fact you just pictured me pleasuring myself is creepy....to say the least.

You have no idea how creepy. His dooshbaggery dates back to the CBS days.

Deflategate Legal Questions

It's certainly one legal perspective... Which I, of course, applaud. A fair appraisal of the legal issues.

Nice that's it from Texas and maybe even a Cowboys supporter.

Am I missing something? Is it Roger Goodell's fault the Patriots deflated footballs in AFCCG?

But I haven't seen one post in Hebrew so that didn't make sense. I simply asked is it Goodell's fault that the Patriots got caught cheating again (in English, mind you) ? Seems to be a lot of "fire Roger" going on and I wanted to get to the bottom of this mystery.

if you read the article you wouldnt need to ask such questions.

i'll post the bold, underlined part again

Watching this case closely and curiously is John Dowd, the special counsel who conducted Major League Baseball’s investigation into Pete Rose and got him banned from the game. As a neutral observer, Dowd finds the abuse of process in DeflateGate to be the real scandal. “I still don’t know what this is about. . . . Like ‘Seinfeld,’ this is about nothing,” he said in an e-mail. He called Goodell’s ruling against Brady based on a sudden issue over Brady’s cellphone “an ambush,” and added, “The entire NFL disciplinary process lacks integrity and fairness.”

Goodell’s rulings are always so much livelier than the man himself. One reason they’re so entertaining is because he always doubles back. It’s like watching a kid do a Spirograph. First he gave Ray Rice a two-game suspension for slugging his wife, when he thought no one was watching. When it turned out the world was watching, he suddenly accused Rice of lying to him and declared an indefinite suspension. A federal judge overturned him, finding Goodell not credible.

You see the same pattern here. Brady’s phone was unimportant – until it was important, because Goodell needed it to be, to rescue his prestige.
