Rando I agree, that was weird.
I have a feeling I would not get along well with him... but he's a good coach!
I lol'd. How's your lifting coming along?
Okay, I was unaware of the daughter thing. I thought it was just spying the Jets from the wrong spot.

Belichick fucked up with spygate and trying to destroy evidence
Hernandez fucked up with trying to destroy phones and security cameras (which courts were still able to get text/photographic/visual evidence from) to avoid prosecution
Brady fucked up with deflategate and trying to destroy a phone (which a court will still be able to get evidence from)
3 fuckups, 3 separate instances of fucking up

I can see how Hernandez is like the other situations.
Yea I'll give Breaking Bad another go, but unfortunately some of my friends already spoiled some of the bigger stuff that happens. It's one of the reasons I haven't watched it yet.

You also forgot, "Destroyed a marriage."
Really puts the 2013 season into perspective. Broncos beat the Pats in the AFCCG (Pats tried to cheat).
Who then went on to get slaughtered by the Seahawks.
To overcome injuries and cheating to even make that SB is a feat in my eyes. Really makes me less embarrassed as we overcame all of that and lost legitimately to a powerhouse.

Fuck deflategate, time for some real NFL news.

I honestly feel bad for Brady, after all he's just a dumb jock who's clearly been getting terrible advice from the legal and PR people he pays to handle this shit. If there was anyone around him with a modicum of sense and professionalism, he would have owned up to it in that original press conference and no one would have given it a second thought. Instead they just continued feeding into his dumb jock ego to fight this to the bitter end. The whole thing is just sad.
Our goal line specialist!
you don't actually believe this do you? like seriously that's dumb.
Pepope what round should I draft Tebow in my fantasy league, thank you for your time, dog bless
Bread I was just joshing, to Mr. Bill I offer the same advice to him I would give to anyone else....

The first round Rando.
I believe it because it's true. The people that are calling him a cheater now were already calling him a cheater and would have done so no matter what the actual evidence was. He would have saved himself the 4 game suspension, months of this bullshit dominating the news cycle, and probably millions of dollars in legal fees. There was literally zero upside to his approach to that press conference.
Yup. He had an opportunity to throw the equipment manager, who was fired anyway, under the bus. Just say he mentioned it, he takes ownership for his part and he's sorry. Probably gets one game and it's wiped away. But now he's just flailing.
And why do people think that going to court against the nfl is about proving T*m's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt? The league has never needed that in the past and if they need it in the future, no one will ever be suspended again.

Nice! I gotta steal some tips.
Only lifted for three days. Ive been driving around looking at houses and stuff.
how do people afford houses? Like all the modern ones cost 300k+
Peyton Manning is undefeated against the Pats in the playoffs with the Broncos.
Broncos are 3-1 all-time against the Pats in the playoffs with the only loss coming from you guys beating the greatest human being in over 2000 years.
We are also something like 23-11 over the Pats in the regular season.
To have that record while fighting rampant cheating while playing them, makes me proud of them.

He's not dumb, and he hasn't been given terrible advice.
If Brady didn't fight, that would have been seen as an admission of guilt.
If he meekly fought and then gave up, ditto.
He has to make it seem like he's going to take this to the highest jurisdiction, even though everyone and their momma knows that would never happen since then he would be exposed as a filthy cheater with even a cursory look into his closet.
why do you think he wouldn't have been suspended and fined if he admit it?
the dumbest thing about this is the assumption that he had the ball deflated 2 psi under the limit when in actuality it would have been around 12.35 psi to get to the levels they were recorded at. who the fuck cares.
enjoy your moral victory, you still have the memories of 43-8 and peyton dying on the field in 2015.

Him admitting to fucking up would be nice for a change. Proclaiming innocence while lying and destroying evidence proving you did it makes you look worse than just saying you did it ever could.
Yup. His only course of action was to put up enough of a fight to convince the sheep and then accept the penalties before it got too real. As a bonus, he can play the pity card with his base when he accepts the penalties.
I think we're all trying focus on bigger things at hand.
Admission of what exactly? He took what could have been easily played off as an innocent mistake exasperated by an overzealous ball boy into a scandal that paints him as both a liar and a cheat. Asking us to believe that he, the quarterback, knew absolutely nothing about what happened to those balls before the game was simply never going to fly. He should have known that himself or been told as much by his people. The fact that he went through with that press conference proves he his, in fact, a dumb jock surrounded by even bigger idiots than himself.
Uh, because the penalty for an under-inflated football is a $25,000 fine. That's it. No suspension and no millions of dollars.

Exactly. Just like when head cheater Bob Kraft did it. Act like the investigation is a big injustice, then back down just before you have to prove your bluster.

Except this isn't a court of law, its a court of public opinion. If there is one thing people hate more than a cheater its a lying cheater. All the dudes who took steriods and came clean about it were totally forgotten about in a second, the dudes who didn't were the ones who got slaughtered.
If Brady confessed to his crimes he'd be hit with a suspension (that could have been negotiated with the league for coming clean) and then everyone would have forgotten about the whole ordeal. Now it continues to drag well through the preseason and probably through all of the regular season if hes going to keep fighting it.
yup just like how they forgot about spygate right? what the fuck are you talking about
and to the "not court of law" thing, no shit, that's why i said legal or otherwise.
Bah!

Make sure to stay hydrated and don't talk to any Gata or Kas like people on your way there.
General rule is you don't go QB round 1, Tebow could be an exception but if you could get Murray round 1 and Tebow in round 2....that would be great.
And then what?
you can respect my diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick
