here's a pats thread for everyone to talk about patritos shit because nobody else cares

i'm too focused on the condescension to be able to remember whether or not, in my life, it has ever occurred to me that a business guy might lie

butt fumble heals all wounds, repairs all relationships

truly the greatest of fumbles

much like this is the greatest of passes:

amen

daria, what do you think those text messages were about then? I think the punishment is ridiculous (especially the draft pick part of it) but I dunno, it seems really clear that something shady was going on

butt fumble might not have been a fumble at all if mark sanchez had the good sense to use a deflated football. then it would just have been a butt.

but... butt

I think the questions I'm curious about is how much longer does Brady go and when he goes will Bill head out too. SF was able to keep a streak of winning going across three head coaches until it finally fell apart.

“My drink is usually vodka with water because it gets you hydrated and drunk at the same time,” he explains after the sommelier has departed. “I never drink wine. There’s only one wine I like, but I forget what it’s called. It tastes like Sprite.”

big dan connolly decides to retire instead of sign for tampa. presumably he received a desperate admiral ackbar text from logan mankins

as churlish as it may be to not just enjoy the greatest kick return of all time i can't help but feel that that not going for a td is basically humanity's greatest crime. if i were a benevolent superintelligent alien monitoring earth transmissions and saw connolly get dragged down on the 5 there i would be like nope and turn my space car around.

ayo patritos, that's gonna be a rough start to the season

lol

hate goodell as much as anyone but i've got a tough time feeling sorry for brady

goodell: brady trashed cell phone

100% brady recycled his phone and SIM when upgrading

not that it matters. fuck goodell for demanding his phone. fuck goodell.

asking for his phone seems like a reasonable measure when conducting an investigation

Would you hand over your personal phone to your boss?

if i thought it would exonerate me, maybe

i mean goodell is a joke and his decision-making process is probably a sham, and i LIKE brady, but he obviously did it so i'm not too torn up about it

I mean, I'd try not to hand over my phone too but I also know everyone would be all "aha that proves guilt" and I'd be like

Yep. Summary: Kraft said it was a mistake to accept the deal and that he should’ve never trust the NFL.

It was also reported that phone records were handed over (i.e. the destroy phone was a red herring and the NFL is full of shit). Go figure.

so kraft accepted the team penalties, expected a quid pro from the league, and then watched goodell cave to other owners.

basically goodell is so inept and rudderless he can't even manage to pull off a back-channel deal correctly.

show of hands: does anybody really believe brady didn't have anything to do with underinflating footballs?

i'm genuinely asking
