Troy Aikman: Patriots punishment should exceed Saints bounty punishment

Posted by Josh Alper on January 22, 2015, 3:12 PM EST

" ... Aikman made an appearance on Sportsradio 1310 The Ticket on Thursday and said he believed that it is “obvious” quarterback Tom Brady was involved in deflating the footballs. ..."

Comment woodbuck27:

Troy Aikman's stance here surprizes me.

What would Nolan Nawrocki say of a QB prospect who said, sure, I may have bent some rules and gotten into trouble, but its not like I am a member of ISIS?

Here's a late music entry for the Super Bowl half-time in honor of the Patriots:

NO WAY you thought of that joke yourself.

Where did you steal it from, Carolina?

No stealing involved, or would that be the Patriot way? Thanks, HH.

Belichick saying he didn't know about the rule is hysterical. This from the guy who brought out the 4 OL formation and told others they need to read the rulebook to see it was legal.

Is it cheating? Yes. They violated the rules.

Is Goodell going to do something other than a slap on the wrist fine? No. He sure as hell won't take away draft picks as some want him to.

Andrew Luck on how he felt after the loss.

the nfl doesn't want to dig too deep into this imo. the end result is probably that brady ordered the balls to be deflated, which like they mentioned on PFT and on espn radio, could very well end in a suspension

imagine the super bowl without its biggest star.

they also mentioned on the radio, that theres starting to be the feeling that this could be brady's last game

This is getting stupid. The NFL needs to squash this now.

I don't see them saying much of anything until after the Super Bowl, unless they determine the Patriots did nothing wrong. I can't see the NFL coming out and saying before the Super Bowl that one of the participants cheated to get there.

This. Nothing is going to happen of any consequence before the game. Goodell's not going to suspend Brady or Belicheat before the SB. The outrage from ESPN.. err I mean the NE area would be enormous and make the SB even more tainted.

Thats how they knew there was a problem in the first place.

[Bossman641]

Agreed. The fact that the league hasn't interviewed a single player yet says it all.

Brett Keisel: New England Patriots will try to 'win at all costs'

Comment woodbuck27:

So where is the NFL Officially on this matter? Right here after five days:

In slow as cold molasses mode and with a Law Firm involved. Can't the NFL simply take the facts as they were discovered and interpret that Vs the RULE on the proper inflation of balls and punish who's deemed guilty? ie The new England Patriots.

To pin this on any individual will be difficult.

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-sh...192128202.html

"...."The investigation is being led jointly by NFL Executive Vice President Jeff Pash and Ted Wells of the law firm of Paul Weiss. Mr. Wells and his firm bring additional expertise and a valuable independent perspective. The investigation began promptly on Sunday night. Over the past several days,[B] nearly 40 interviews have been conducted ...(but apparently not with Tom Brady) , but gave minimal details on what it was told. The league did say the officials inspected the Patriots' footballs before the game per the rules and they were compliant with the rules, which clears up that key point. blah ...blah blah........ blah....blah "

Comment woodbuck27:

I saw this report on TSN this morning. Getting to the science of Deflate-gate this video covers all that, Did under inflation of the ball in the opening half in any way have any real influence on that game. Even the opposition Indy players say NO. That game pure and simple was about New England dominance.

In any case here is the science of the matter and might prompt the question. Why all the rage let the best play football.:
