I'll believe it when I see it. Cowboys were -7 against Buffalo and -4 against Chicago. Both were slam dunks for the other side.

The early line says the Cowboys are -4 at home against the Rams next week. I'd take the Rams.

Don't know if I should piss off Pruitt by pointing out how the Bills uniforms look like the old school Patriots ones.

Someone needs to explain the Texans to me. They look like one of the three best teams in the league one week then dogshit the next.

Dropped passes?
Overthrown passes?

You are correct sir.

Right there is the difference between a good team and a great team. Bills D is fantastic. Their QB is still raw.

If they were filming the Bengals' play calls then it was probably a comedy, not a documentary

Schefter’s reporting on Deflategate was embarrassingly slanted towards the Patriots, and it looks like his Patriots sources duped him once again on this story.

It's going to be so much fun watching the Pats become a mediocre team again.

While this is more believable than the Deflator/weight loss excuse, it still seems like an awfully convenient coincidence.

Seriously, they just need to stop filming shit.

Who the fuck watches a "Do Your Job" docu-series on Patriots.com about some random-ass scout anyway, let alone 8 of them? What a waste of time and money. It would be better spent getting rub and tugs in Florida.

If this season isn't the end for Tom Brady and the Pats, next season absolutely is.

Nice to see the Patriots are following the Trump playbook. Something nefarious happens...

1st response: It didn't happen/nothing happened!
2nd response: Something happened but it's not the nefarious thing!
3rd response: The nefarious thing happened but it's not what you think!
Final response: The nefarious thing happened and there is nothing nefarious about it!

It was just an honest mistake by independent contractors! Had nothing to do with the team’s football operations.

Bill Belichick IS Richard Nixon, and this might be his Watergate.

Even more fitting given Nixon's football fandom and shitty play suggestions.

The fact that it was against the Bengals is the most damning evidence of the whole scheme. If they are spying on the Bengals, they're spying on everyone.

(I say this with full knowledge that the statement would apply to the browns for every season I can recall)

Not sure I follow. If the team is seriously still filming other teams under the guise of this dumb docu-series, I'm not defending it at all. It's really stupid.

Considering the Pats have already been fined once and docked draft picks once for this, if it's found out they were taping opponents again the punishment should be extremely severe. Starting with Belichick being banned from the NFL for five years, no first-round picks for at least three years and a $5 million fine.

So what do you think an appropriate punishment should be for a repeat offender then? Obviously the original penalties weren't harsh enough.

(And for the record, I'm giving the Pats due process/benefit of the doubt here. Maybe the video turned over to the league is innocuous. Hopefully the league doesn't destroy the evidence this time.)

As we know, a wide receiver caught with weed is more of a threat to the integrity of the game than a team that has habitually cheated.

Handjob is great if you're in a theater or somewhere where a modicum of discretion is necessary. If you're a billionaire paying some immigrant slave for sex I'd at least go for a hummer.
