Siding with Goodell? smh
Goodell is bffs with the Pats owner. That makes no sense
We've still got 1 legit one though, so we should save our sympathy for the Pats fans, who have zero.
Over a Pats fan? Absolutely. That's not even a difficult decision.
Not BFFs enough, it seems. Besides, Goodell has 31 other owners to keep him in check. It's true that the Pats should have gotten the death penalty (in the literal or NCAA sense, either is fine), but I applaud the other owners for ensuring that their cheating is punished.
30? Which other team is our friend???
There are 32 teams/fanbases in the NFL. One is the Pats, which are under the delusional impression that they aren't cheaters. One is the Seahawks, which I am part of. 32-2 leaves 30 teams.
Pats fans can't even do basic subtraction, and we're supposed to trust them when it comes to matters of fair play and integrity?
They were punished for their violations, what more do you want me to say about it? The Pats got off easy.

When I become king of the world, all non Patriot fans will be imprisoned.
Getting a little ahead of ourselves.
I think you should first concentrate on passing the 5th grade (they say the 3rd time is the charm) and maybe getting a chick that is not related to you before you set your sights on something ambitious.

Listen to your dad gata.
It's weird how no one cares about the next 30 racers that lost to Armstrong test positive to the same shit he did.
Oh wait no it isn't.
No cares about losers. The winners getting caught cheating always matters more. And when it happens more than once under the same people....

Hey at least I'd be able to teach you how to be a man.
So they were punished, pats have been punished, why you still butthurt? No one made Russ throw that INT?
Didnt the pats lose the super bowl the year of spygate? Worked well.
The Pats were not punished appropriately. The Browns and Falcons were.
How do you make yourself forget she is your uncles daughter? Or is that the basis for the relationship?
Also if GAF subsidized your one hooker for 50 dudes idea who gets the first shot? That's the definition of diminishing returns...

How should they have been punished.
Brady, Belichick, and Kraft should all have been banned for life from the NFL and had all their wins* stricken from the record books. They should have been thrown in prison too, but that's outside of the jurisdiction of the NFL, which I assume is the point of view he was asking the question from. That said, if he was just asking about their punishment in the broad sense, they should absolutely be jailed.
By overinflating the balls.
Let the other teams deflate their balls the next couple games. Watch Indy still lose by 40.
Didnt Sea's coach leave USC and left sanctions and punishment behind him?
I mean, clearly Pete is clean as a whistle. No way Seattle is cheating. They may have been at a handicap with that OC and Russ at QB.
What does any of this have to do with the Pats getting caught breaking the rules?
The way the public views them is punishment enough in my opinion.
A fraudchise, who sold their soul for what amounts to ultimately meaningless Superbowl wins.
Pot meet kettle.

And to think if you were nice to me I would have started taking donations so you can buy some rogaine smh.
The Seahawks have never deflated balls, illegally videotaped opponents, or harbored a known murderer, so I don't think that applies here.
That idiom is generally used to point out that the accuser is guilty of the same transgressions of the accused, which just simply isn't the case, by the way.
Its the same bullshit arguments that Pats fans used before most of them gave up and either quit football altogether or embraced being the cheaters and villains.
1. Everyone does it (doesn't make it right)
2. They still would have won (then why do they continue to cheat year after year if it doesn't help)
3. Some asshole from New England got drunk and said the science of the dude from Harvard was bad (this is as bad as climate change deniers)
4. The texts were all a big joke (stop doing drugs)
5. Tom Brady likes getting fucked with a strap on (can't find anything wrong with this one)
6. We can't convict Tom Brady unless we use a standard of evidence that goes beyond a preponderance or reasonable doubt because thats my fucking team and this makes me feel bad
One of these was not an actual argument advanced by Pats fans or their goons, but to me it is the only one of the 6 that makes any sense.
Been waiting forever for GRR to get to that in the books. After the Starks all died the books just sucked. The only thing left that matters is the Long Winter. Glad the showrunners get it. Tyrion and Jon are the only good thing the show does consistently. Sadly Jaime and Bron went to Dorne so they have the suck now too

Oh ok. I'm glad they won those Superbowls.
To be fair to our friend zychi, he thinks that The Dark Knight was the best movie of the past decade (if I remember correctly), so we really shouldn't take any of his opinions seriously.

Do you remember when we beat the Bears in the Superbowl?
Prince did the half time show, and performed Purple Rain in the rain.
It was better than the game itself.
Also, Bears suck.
He is obviously trolling you guys.
You can never feed trolls dudes. It is internet 101.
You're giving him too much credit.
Oh, you mean breaking league rules? Like being fine 300,000 for practicing illegally during the offseason? Or for being fined in 2012 too for the same thing?
Or that every team before 2006 taped the other teams practices? Jimmy Johnson, Cowher all admit to it. Theres even stories of teams swapping practice tape. For shame!
PED use. Much worse for tampering the game then air out of a ball.
It's like winning a bout of SF2 when you have the good first party controller and your friend has that busted third party controller that has a fucked up d-pad, that smells like cancer plastic, the shoulder buttons don't work, and it's has some crazy ass bootleg flea market Korean name like Panasonyo on it. It's not really winning unless the playing field is level.
Again, I don't see what any of this has to do with the Pats being caught breaking the rules.
Yep. I remember. Fumbles and rain galore. Joseph Addai couldnt be stopped.
Peyton sucked just like he sucked against NO, just like he sucked against the Seahawks*

You gotta do what you gotta do.
Pot meet kettle.
Whining about rule breaking when your team consistently does it. Stop whining about it and lets move on. Jesus Christ.
Rhodes maybe?
Peyton was the MVP of that Superbowl by the way. Had a decent game considering the conditions.
Sometimes I wonder if you even watched these games you refer to.
And we were fined for those things, players were suspended. I just ask for the same fair penalties when it comes to the Pats.
It's very disappointing that you'd lobby for a particular team to get special treatment.

This game is so good man

Addai had more total yards. 130+ if I remember right.
Peyton had a passer rating of 85ish, not great.
Sometimes I wonder if you just choose to make a narrative for yourself?
Bears lost because Grossman sucks and fumbled twice, and Cedric Benson fumbled.
But hey, you must have seen a different game then me

Yeah I made a poor decision I feel not too long ago. Waiting to see how it plays out.
Aint salty. Ted Philiips.
There's enough salt in this thread from you and the people who care about a rule that never mattered until people like you whine on twitter to ESPN about it and turn it into a story.
Same people who make Tebow a story, same people who made Chip Kelly doing nothing in the draft a story.
