NFL - Playoffs Jan 2015

We’ll start with the obvious, which is that #Ballghazi is an idiotic (but thoroughly enjoyable) scandal that is of microscopic import to the NFL and of even smaller import to the world at large, and it is already dying a proper death. We are very good at manufacturing scandals out of nothing here in America. You only need a few key ingredients:

A gap in the news cycle.

- A worthy target; someone people already dislike. (Like Don Imus! Remember the Imus thing? That happened because Fuck Don Imus.)
- The lingering presumption that the target has done SOMETHING wrong at some point in life, so you may as well nail them for this.
- A story with a great deal of unknowable information in it… holes that I can fill using MY IMAGINATION.
- Sex and/or racism and/or and/or violence and/or balls.

Given how little we have to work with in this instance (air pressure, a ball boy going into a bathroom, a potential rules violation that had virtually no effect on the final outcome), this may be our crowning achievement in collective truthering. We got more than a week out of this lemon. It’s almost enough to make you feel sorry for the Patriots. Maybe you would even like to root for them on Sunday, as a matter of principle, or because Bill Belichick was so cute talking about stuffed monkeys.

So I’m here to re-emphasize the obvious: do not root for the Patriots. Fuck the Patriots. Fuck them to hell.

how many times does your team have to be caught cheating before you finally think of them as cheaters?

E

Once?

Deadspin is hilarious.

By the way, I didn't post it (maybe i did, who knows?), but a NY Daily News guy did the "bathroom" test to see if 11 balls could be deflated 2 psi in 90 sec.   He discovered the each football take 2.2 seconds and did them all in around 40.......Must be nice to get paid to do that.

Haha! Of COURSE it was the Daily News. Jets fans are the ones that are enjoying this the most. Lmao!

...but it's impossible to take a piss in 50 seconds when you really have to go.

haha yeah in boston "every team" spys on the other teams and deflates footballs

funny how belicheat gets credit for being so smart, yet he's the only coach that can't figure out how to not get caught

it's pretty obvious too that there was some shady stuff going on with legarrette blunt going back to the pats

Boohoo Mr. Steeler's fan! I'm sure if Brady was your QB and Belicheck was your coach you would be screaming for them to be traded and fired right? I'll just have to suck it up as my cheater team rolls over your team of upstanding role model's every year. Sad how invested some people are in sports

you sound pretty sad yourself, you're just going to have to live with the fact that your team is a fraud

[Hulkotron]

Sadly I'm starting to agree with u TA haha

Hash yes, me too.

TA is very persistent on this topic.

Your list of grievances is lengthening. Festivus was over a month ago.

Steelers have 2 SB wins since the Pats last won, and many more overall.  Nobody cares about division titles.

[Palpatine Q]

As per usual. There are two different conversations going on in this thread, one has adults discussing what is obviously some pretty shady shit in New England.

And the other is retarded,homers acting like 16 year old high school kids saying "u  mad?"   

[blacken700]

how many division titles have the giants won in the last 15 years

[Palpatine Q]

how many division titles have the giants won in the last 15 years

Not seeing how that's relevant even a little bit.



I know they are 2-0 against your faggy little friends there  

" hi I'm Tom BRADY"

 " no no, I'm not gay... I just have every gay mannerism you can possibly think of."

[WalterWhite]

Tom Brady & Gisele Bundchen are worth more than 400m combined.

And he's playing in his sixth SB. 

[Grape Ape]

And he's playing in his sixth SB.  

Yes, I remember a couple vividly.

[Palpatine Q]

"Hi....my name is Tom BRADY"


"NO..... I didn't use that to deflate footballs, haven't you people ever seen a cock pump before?"

[WalterWhite]

Yes, I remember a couple vividly.

And those were great games.

No dig on me because I love the game win or lose.  

[Grape Ape]

Yeah, I've said before I never gave any of my friends any grief at all after those two SB.   Games were just insane.  2007 Pats were stupid good.  Giants had to take a ridiculous road to get there.

Strahan admitted the Cowboys were tougher to get through than the patriots
