Rush, I think you need to ask yourself whether you're upset with my casual fan comments or with the repeated cheating that opens the door for my comments. Repeated cheating? As far as I know there has been "Spygate" (which in many people's mind wasn't cheating per se) and then something t...

Let's assume it was a team like, say, Seattle taking adderall or the 70s Steelers taking steroids. Since it wasn't the Patriots, would anybody actually report it? I doubt it. I'm sure it would have the casual fan trolling message boards about it as well. Maybe you weren't around for the Roethlisber...

Biggest fine in NFL history to an individual since you're intent on parsing every phrase. But I'm hoping that you continue providing your takes on this because the Boston fan victim/persecution complex is endlessly fascinating to me. I sincerely mean that. Ah, yes. I'll just forget everything that ...

More importantly...do you know what the non-designated space is that Rush is trying to pretend is some big loophole? "Videotaping of any type, including but not limited to taping of an opponent's offensive or defensive signals, is prohibited on the sidelines, in the coaches' booth, in the lock...

Rush2112

The reason that the Patriots were fined was that they filmed from a non-designated space.... ...literally, literally immediately after all NFL teams were explicitly told that was not allowed. You can quibble over whether it was a big deal or not I suppose, but the biggest fine in NFL history and th...

How about the rumors of the Jays rampant sign stealing at home? Or is that more analogous to Spygate, the other major Patriots scandal that really isn't a big deal you guys? You show you ignorance here, as Spygate wasn't really a big deal. Any team can film an opposing teams signals. The reason tha...

If the teams all provided their own baseballs for their pitchers, I'd agree with you. While not a perfect example, home teams do provide the balls for pitchers do they not? While balls aren't pre-scuffed, pitchers do try to keep that ball that got scuffed in play longer than it should based on the ...

We'll never get all of the answers, but I'd love to know how long the Patriots have been doing this. Your answer is all over Twitter and in this thread. Once teams were allowed to prepare footballs to their QBs liking this has been going on. As players have said teams try to fudge the rules to get ...

It's still possible that the refs just didn't do their job right. If the Pats tried to get away with something and the refs approved those balls as they were, the Pats are in the clear as far as anyone should be concerned. This league hasn't exactly proven to be the most competent organization. Tha...

Venn Diagram of New Englanders who excoriated Alex-Rod and New Englanders falling all over their own dicks to justify this as a case of "everyone's doing it". Perhaps a diagram of people that don't give a shit about football that get involved in football discussions only because they can ...

I'm now reading Peyton and Brady pushed for a rule change on the handling of the balls (geez louise) to ensure each team can do what they want (within reason), Rodgers says he messes with the pressure, and Brad Johnson once bribed a guy to alter the PSI. And that's just what has come out yesterday/...

Rush2112

They were punished because they did this in an area outside the area that was designated by the NFL. The taping wasn't illegal, where they did it from was. I really think this was done as an f u to the league because it's a stupid rule.. You can film but only from these 12 sq ft, the sherriff threw ...

Aren't quads like higher alcohol trippels?

More alcohol yes, but typically more brown sugar-ness and malt than triples.

All this will do is make sure that the balls for the Super Bowl are more closely guarded and tested than any other game in NFL history, which isn't the worst thing in the world (for anyone). Though I'm thinking doctoring the ball in anyway during the AFCC game would be difficult. All of this is hoo...

Early testing looks positive. ER and PR positive, and lymph node testing has been positive in that no sign of spreading as of yet. No word on HER2 results yet.

Except what the general public thinks they were fined/punished for is not what they were actually punished for.

Rush2112

The thing that chaps me is that it's only a big deal because the Patriots are involved, when it's something that goes on other places...enough so that it's mentioned in a national broadcast (see Aaron Rogers above)... then a lackey of Irsay tweets out some "insider info" and it instantly g...

Looks like the Packers cheat as well, better fine them and take away all their draft picks.

Seems like a good post to bookmark.

I'd put that up to being lucky. If that backup TE had blocked like he was coached to do that onside kick was Jordy's and the game Green Bay's.

Sickening. What a terrible game. Offense sucked ass. Defense sucked more ass. Special Teams were just as bad. Here is hoping Pep Hamilton leaves for college and the Colts get a real OC. I think that they need to change the philosophy of the front office. They've tried to get by with a superstar at ...

Pork does NOT belong in green chile. Seconded. Thirded I don't think I've ever had green chile, but I'm confident in my belief in Southern cuisine - pork can go in anything .

I do like the hot dogs from Tony Packo's in Toledo, but they do not touch ambrosia that is carne adovada.

And I'd wager that Santa Fe and the local environs lead Ohio in glass art and houses made of discarded tires.

I think I remember you asking, but not that you moved.

I live in Broomfield/Superior and work in Boulder, let me know if you'd like to get a beer sometime.

I do love the SW of Colorado, it's much like northern New Mexico, but the food isn't as good!

Rush, are you not a fan of that drive? Long ways, but it sure has some very scenic parts to it. If it could contain only the scenic parts I'd be cool with it. I am also not a big fan of any trip that involves driving from Denver to Vail as there are typically way to many fucking people on the road.

So Marrone going back to college or looking to be an coordinator? Seems like he misjudged the market.
