You don't remember how every Pats fan got their overnight PhD in physics when all that shit was going down?

I wish I could wipe deflategate from my memory. Just a whole lot of shit.

 

[Bread]

Is being a journalist supposed to convince me he's good at physics or something?

No I was referring to the article where they quoted scientists from all across the country that disagreed with Exponent's conclusions.

I might have been thinking of this article from yahoo since this has the quoted scientists though

2 different us appeals courts decided that the comish could just suspend anyone he wants regardless of what the evidence says? That doesn't seem very likely.

"Our role is not to determine for ourselves whether Brady participated in a scheme to deflate footballs or whether the suspension imposed by the Commissioner should have been for three games or five games or none at all. Nor is it our role to second-guess the arbitrator's procedural rulings," Judge Barrington D. Parker wrote in the majority opinion. "Our obligation is limited to determining whether the arbitration proceedings and award met the minimum legal standards established by the Labor Management Relations Act."

"Even if an arbitrator makes mistakes of fact or law, we may not disturb an award so long as he acted within the bounds of his bargained-for authority," the court said.

We have to have a solid win. We just have to, given the circumstances.

Fuck getting lumped in with the likes of Arizona and Miami.

Which article? The yahoo one references scientists from all over the country. I'm not going to keep talking about this because your mind was made up when the first tweet went out but at least read the shit before dismissing it.

The NYT one.

 

[Crisco]

Jacoby Brissett can play, but his deep balls lack touch and accuracy, that was a consistent flaw in his game during the two years I watched him QB my college team. Load the box, don't play cover 2, and force him to chuck it deep. Texans should win this if they play smart.

 

[Bread]

The NYT one.

The whole article is about the findings by a scientist at MIT...it's not like the author's bias is effecting those.

The M in MIT stands for Massachusetts does it not?

Author of the Yahoo article:

Wetzel is a native of Norwell, Massachusetts and a 1994 graduate of the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he was editor of the campus newspaper (The Daily Collegian) and majored in political science.[1][2]

🤔🤔🤔

������

And the scientists (most of them, i'm sure the guy at UNH is at least) referenced in these articles aren't Pats fans so what's your point?

Private firm breaks silence on controversal Deflategate study that got Tom Brady suspended



Hmmmmm

Of course you won't get the same results when Mars and Mercury are in retrograde. Wait for the planets to realign in 2074 and retest under the proper conditions!

 

[Hockey123]

Ah yes, just as any study done by someone with no relation to Mass would be biased against the pats right

/s

I'm not saying they're willfully fudging it.

But being in proximity to so much cheating and evil could be subconsciously affecting them. Or they could be making these claims to save themselves from a Hernandez-ing.

I'm just saying. There's something going on there. I'm just asking questions.

Now official for tonight: Gronk in, Jimmy Garoppolo out.

 

[Jarate]

Once you destroy evidence you're pretty much basically admit that you are guilty under any legal circumstance. Not only that, but we all know based off of past cheatings that the Patriots Organization and the Patriots players are all cheaters. Heck, Tom Brady, the man you are so desperately defending is a Trump fan, and you can't even blame that on the CTE!

Why do you think no other organizations has had 2 major cheating scandals under the same regime!?

 

[Himynameischris]

As an Astronomy student I can confirm that the positions of the planets could *potentially* alter the atmospheric conditions in Boston, Mass in such a way that they could conceivably alter the pressure of inflated balls within a 3 hour window.

 

[Line_HTX]

Possibly the intro to the game, a far cry from Namath and Kelly trash talking last week.

"What they gonna do, hurt our quarterback? We'll throw Big Papi in there."

 

[squicken]

Texans need to win this game. Losing would mean they are still mental midgets and can't handle a big moment. A blowout is asking too much, but they need to and should win

 

[unknownstranger]

Will only get to watch the end of the game. Have class from 5:00pm-7:50pm PST.

Blowout or RIOT.

 

[Colasante]

Texans 31, Patriots 13. Texans defense is going to be too much for the Patriots to handle on such a short week.

 

[Hockey123]

I'm anticipating a 24 point loss. No Jimmy G, no hope.

 

[Sanjuro]

I'm hoping this game is full of fun shenanigans and I'll be happy. Thursday Night is in dire need of anti-fuckball.

 

[Goro Majima]

Blowout or RIOT.

You'll take a 13-9 win and like it.

Nah. Fuckball is boring stale shit. See Packers/Vikings.

 

[Goro Majima]

Nah. Fuckball is boring stale shit. See Packers/Vikings.

We have different definitions of fuckball.

Fuckball requires 6+ turnovers in a single night. Also boneheaded plays but Terrance Williams isn't playing in this game so I'm gonna need someone else to step up.

 

[skLaFarebear]

No faith at all, LaShitbear.

I'm a Dolphins fan in 2016, yall talk about faith like I still have any.

No Cushing and Still is problematic.

The problem with cheaters is without a whistleblower you are almost never going to be able to prove anything to 100%. Because the cheaters are liars and are trying to hide their actions from others. They are not dumb. They know it would be punished if caught.

That's why the report itself says that they did not prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. Again because it is very hard to catch cheaters in the act. But this ain't no criminal court and all of the shady as fuck actions, testimony and deflection were enough that any reasonable person would conclude that the Pats are cheating fucks, even if not caught red handed.

We all make these judgments every day in our lives. Pats fans are in denial because they don't wan to admit that cheer for a Cheating Trump supporter.

Maybe. I generally see fuckball as sloppy uninspired play. I'm fine with turnovers and sloppy play if the game is still being actively called in a competitive nature.

 

[BronsonLee]

Fuckball is whatever you want it to be.

 

[Stat Flow]

If Patriots win, is a Super Bowl loss against Eli Manning's stupid ass guaranteed?

I'm just the opposite . Pats going to dink and dunk that pass rush

 

[FloydtheFathead]

Like botching a game winning kick because the ball was placed the wrong way on the tee?

 

[Goro Majima]

Thanks to your post, Tabris just got a huge erection somewhere and he doesn't know why

 

[BronsonLee]

My madness has a method

Like botching a game winning kick because the ball was placed the wrong way on the tee?

No, like Garoppalo tries to rush the field to get back in the game, but ends up hitting a fan with the ball

 

[FloydtheFathead]

He'll use his iwatch to track his heart beat

No, like Garoppalo tries to rush the field to get back in the game, but ends up hitting a fan with the ball

That would be fuckball

Job keeps me super busy and life problems.

Spoiler

Girl problems.

I've also been trying to catch up on my backlog of shows/games by staying off of GAF after work. I managed to finish Daredevil and put in a lot more episodes towards Food Wars.
