And what Ndamukong Suh did to Evan Dietrich-Smith doesn't violate the integrity of competition? Or Aaron Rodgers and Eli Manning preparing balls the way they liked it?

1. a dirty play doesn't violate the integrity of competition in the same sense that conspiring with team staff to play with illegal footballs during an AFC Title Game, no.

I'm not familiar with what you're referring to on the second bit.

Our quarterback just likes blow jobs and forced sex, Sawx.......easy one to dole out.  6 games down to 4 after counseling.  We like to do it right here in DaBurgh.

We went 3-1 (should have been 4-0) without him.

Brady will end up with 2 games after the wrangling.

I've no problem with giving the NFL control over game balls, like every other sport.  Eli's routine there is weird and OCDish, but there's no hint that he's not meeting specifications.  Brady deliberately broke specifications in a conspiracy with his team's personnel.

Either way, how in the f**k is deliberately trying to take a player out of the game less detrimental to the integrity of football than air pressure?

No proof though.

Somewhat a terrible thing. Brady is still an all-time great, but his legacy is tarnished.

So, huh, what "proof" would satisfy you?


Not that it matters, you think this was a "sting" to make Brady and the Cheatriots "heels" in the league.  You're so far into Cloudcuckooland you won't even believe it AFTER Brady admits it and asks for forgiveness 5 years from now.

Concrete, impartial evidence. None of this "more probable than not" bullsh*t that serves only as a scapegoat to cover up the NFL's incompetence (considering the refs should have, you know... checked the balls in the first place). Being a condescending asshole and whining about how a team that can win even after the stakes were changed cheated doesn't change that the NFL doesn't really give a f**k about the integrity of the game. The heel narrative (especially considering Brady comes back against the Colts if the suspension is upheld) is only a secondary motive - Tom Brady was suspended to protect what's left of the reputation of the front office and uphold the sorry state of refereeing.

so if you had "Concrete, impartial evidence" you would be on the same side as everybody else in the world or just move your bitching on to other aspects of the story?


(and FTR, there would most likely be concrete and impartial evidence if Brady had turned over what the NFL asked him to turn over, but he didn't....because this isn't a court of law and he didn't have to.  Just like that act by him can be held against him.....because this isn't a court of law and they can if they want to.  But really, the evidence is pretty damning if you're not wearing a Patriots hat when you read it.)

Yes, I would. That's also not the issue - the issue is about trying to restore some sort of authority in the front office and make money.
