I doubt the owners were commenting on legal procedural issues. Since that was the basis of the overturned appeal, they weren't exactly shown to have been wrong (or biased) in their opinions. Most people accept that Brady was involved in cheating.
Its not that the owners misjudged guilt. "About time", "at-last", "looked tough", "overdue", "good ... political maneuverer". They were pleased about how it looked and who it hurt. That it corrected a previously missed opportunity.Originally Posted by sharpe1027
I can't come up with the adjective to do justice to the short sightedness of the whole thing. Its like watching a Scorsese movie.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
two De Niros in one day. That's a good haul.

The SI piece has Thayer Evans in the byline. Evans had been raked over the coals by Big 12 fans for his expose series on Oklahoma State University a few years back that had many of its sources deny, backtrack, or accuse Evans of manufacturing their statements.
I believe in God, family, Baylor University, and the Green Bay Packers.

He got the story of declaring players OUT for road trips wrong.Lost in the wake of the 10,000-word ESPN odyssey regarding the depths of the Spygate rabbit hole was a SI.com story that focused primarily on the steps taken by other teams to avoid being on the wrong end of New England cheating. Contained in that story was a compelling anecdote.
Compelling, but inaccurate.

Did the Wells report confirm what he is texting in that photo? Unsound!"Gisele and I are very happy with the outcome. Very, very happy."
LOL. I'm guessing that is a relatively new phone. Verizon insurance wasn't buying the claim of an 'accidental' drop for the old one however. He paid full price.

Now the League Office is just stalling. I use this excuse for invoices all the time:

The NFL acknowledged it received reinstatement request. First request sent Monday, no reply. After 2 more, league said they got it.
That is a request for the reinstatement of the two texting co-conspirators Jastremski and the Deflator (or maybe the Deflator's co-worker). This was another odd instance of each side insisting like an 8 year old that they did not do the thing they obviously did. The League at one point claimed it did not request the two be indefinitely suspended. But now it has to approve their return.
Its a 15 billion dollar per year business run by an elementary school.

So the Pats are forcing the issue and leaking information to further their cause? Too funny. It is like watching elementary kids, but with a much bigger budget.
Yep. Not sure this is a direct answer to the ESPN article (which was the entire League venting spleen) but it seems likely the Pats want to plant their own flag of righteousness.

Cheating always sound much more fun in retrospect. Like cute Gaylord Perry with the wiping of his hand all over his hat.
http://articles.latimes.com/2003/oct...sp-nflfeature5Coaches have taken to using their laminated list of plays to cover their mouths when sending in instructions. Some, such as Tampa Bay's Jon Gruden, cover almost their entire face.
There is some logic to that. Ernie Accorsi, general manager of the New York Giants, was the assistant GM with the Baltimore Colts in 1977 when the team hired Bob Colbert as an administrative assistant. Colbert was a former head coach at Gallaudet, the leading university for the deaf and hard of hearing, and was a professional lip-reader.
"We didn't hire him for that reason, but lip-reading was his expertise," Accorsi said.
In the 1977 regular-season finale, a do-or-die game against New England, Colbert trained his binoculars on the Patriot defensive coordinator and saw him mouth the words "double safety blitz."
"We got that in to [quarterback] Bert Jones and he hit Raymond Chester down the middle for a 78-yard touchdown," said Accorsi, whose team won the division and got into the playoffs with that win.

The above article is a must read. Here is the story of testing what would become Paul Brown and the NFL's first radio system:
This article features Bum Phillips, Marv Levy and Ditka being a dope, yet succeeding. It has everything.The inventors carefully mounted the receiver in a Cleveland helmet and tested it in a secluded area behind Campbell's home. Sarles would wander into the woods wearing the helmet, and Campbell would try to keep contact with him. They found the signal got weak very quickly and, once, Campbell searched all over for Sarles before spotting him talking to a police officer who had located the signal. The officer was a Brown fan, according to a Pro Football Hall of Fame account of the story, and promised not to reveal the radio secret to anyone.

So the NFL is not releasing results from game testing of ball pressure during 2015, thereby ruining the chance for football to confirm the Ideal Gas Law.
New England is incensed and it looks a LOT like the NFL did not want to bolster Brady's case against their appeal of the Federal ruling last fall. I am pretty stunned that Brady's team did not raise a bigger stink.

Makes sense since it was a witch hunt from the start.
Nah. They knew he was screwing with his balls, but they just didn't catch him with his pants down, and nobody got knocked up, so it didn't matter.

Perhaps, but they aren't going to win their appeal if those numbers back up the idea that the balls weren't under-inflated at the start of the game.
I'd still bet the scheme was to keep the balls at 12.5, or a tick lower, no matter what the officials did. Still circumvention, but not exactly the same thing.
