If the deflategate concludes without the Patriots returning the trophy

[TheDallasDon]

On topics other than football, I've seen the common tactic listing what's evil about something while giving a blind eye to many of those things being common in many other places. For instance, politicians screaming their opponent sleeps around, then it turns out so do they!

Kind of embarrassing the grown men venting so much.

You crap on the Cowboys constantly but are always pumping up the Pats...........turn in your card man

The Vikings got caught on camera tampering with footballs and got a letter of warning.

As if the Vikings situation has anything to do with the Cheatriots.

will never happen and shouldn't happen either

Uh, newsflash: It's virtually the same offense (and that's assuming the Patriots are guilty in the first place despite the complete lack of real evidence).

The Vikings illegally tampered with the footballs in order to make them easier to grip and handle
The Patriots are accused of illegally tampering with the footballs in order to make them easier to grip and handle.

Oh, but the Vikes are losers and the Patriots are champions so no one cares about the Vikings.

I guess the information war is on. A swarm of people mocking the punishing of a team whose identity IS cheating,. hmmm. As the investigation concludes, I'm looking intently at the results. Mocking a right and just punishment will not make it go away.

Removing the trophy is somehow off the table? Prohibiting that action is written...um, nowhere.

I think the NFL should

1. change their official name to "NE Cheatriots" for the next 5 years and

2. should put them on hard knocks for the next 2 years

After all they have won 4 SB s as a result of their cheating

They aren't going to do anything. The Pats are Goodell's favorite team.

Goodell punished (using the word lightly here) the Pats for spygate so they will get something.

I don't care what the intended outcome was. That really has nothing to do with this entire ordeal.

What's your point, exactly? the solution to cheating is just to have no punishment, since everyone is doing it? Why have rules in the first place, then? What's the point of playing the game, if everyone is going to cheat at it?

Apparently, there is some non-football hypocrisy that nullifies the right of the NFL dishing out punishment for cheating during a football game.


In summary, the solution to injustice and evil is to avoid punishment for cheating.

You're not making sense.

Sorry, but when comparing the Vikings' transgression to the Patriots' (alleged) transgression, then intended outcome has everything to do with it.

The whole point of (allegedly) deflating the footballs is to make them easier to grip and handle. Anyone who says one method of illegally trying to make a ball easier to grip and handle is significantly more egregious than another method of illegally trying to make a ball easier to grip and handle is either a moron of just an obsessive hater.

I hate cheating. Little known story, I started to think the Patriots were a classy team until their spy gate fiasco came to light. This is about cheating, not hating the Patriots.

 

[DallasCowboys2080]

Your problem is there are multiple reports - not just Rapoport - contradiction the original Mortensen reports from those very first days this story broke.

Hate to let facts get in the way of your obsessive hatred.... (actually, no that's not true.... I love facts getting in the way of your obsessive hatred )

my problem? you're the one originating the denouncing of a side of this argument because of ONE report when there are multiple reports ( "married to so and sos report"). the same rebuttals you use can be used against you. don't you get it? i guess not. you're so blinded by your love fest for the pats its hard for you to be objective. but its very transparent. nothing new. most of us on here know this.


and you are right.... yes obsessive hatred


for CHEATERS!

exacty! the cheatriot apologists just love skirting the whole fact its about cheating. if the bears were involved in as many cheating incidents as the pats id hate that just the same. i could care less about hating the pats per se. i honestly wished they weren't such notorious cheaters/rule benders. it be cool to see any team/org be that successful without an asterisk surrounding their team.

Read very s-l-o-w-l-y

Wait until the investigation is complete before punishing.

Punish all teams that cheat.

Accept that all teams cheat.

I totally expect you and others' denial to not understand what even an IQ of 70 could understand.

Too bad that the facts were reported, as I stated, early. The can't walk back those facts. None for the colts, 92% for the Patriots were under inflated. That's intentional.

Of course it does. It has everything to do with the current "ordeal."

The "crimes" are virtually identical and (allegedly) committed for the exact same reason. The only difference is one team sucks and the other is the best in the league this year.

Maybe because the topic is the Patriots?
