Brady suspension looking to be overturned.... -- (link) - Remlik May 13, 10:51 43
- turnover -- nm - Max May 13, 11:00
- I cannot wait for this to not be overturned and the Patriots can straight up eat a dick. -- nm - Jovian May 13, 10:58 7
  - *ding* The Patriots are getting off easy and should STFU. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 11:00 6
    - wait till Kraft takes the NFL to court which is rumoured to pitentially happen -- nm - Beaker May 13, 11:02 3
      - I love when one of our owners takes their HOA to court. - Spawn May 13, 11:04 2
        
        fuck them -- nm - Zombie Al Davis May 13, 11:05 1
        
        and I won too bitches! -- nm - Zombie Al Davis May 13, 11:06
    - I just hope however it plays out that it is the lead story on Sportcenter every day for the next 100 days. That would be GREAT. -- nm - volnelk May 13, 11:01 1
      - ^^^^^^^^ All Sarcasm. I want this to just go away. I think he cheated. I don't care. I don't want to hear about it any more. -- nm - volnelk May 13, 11:02
- Hopefully. - Will Hunting May 13, 10:54 32
  - Brady cheated, and was probably cheating for years. I still want Stannis Baratheon justice -- nm - Peglegpete May 13, 10:56 31
    - Most people speed, you don't lose your license for a month for a speeding ticket. - Will Hunting May 13, 10:59 20
      - You do if you get caught speeding a LOT. -- nm - TWuG May 13, 11:04
      - I love how we conveniently forget Spygate. -- nm - Jovian May 13, 11:00 17
        
        they were punsihed for that already, no? -- nm - groiny May 13, 11:00 16
        
        Slapped on the wrist and all tapes were destroyed so the league could not know how bad it really was. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 11:02 1
        
        but they were punished. nm -- nm - groiny May 13, 11:02
        
        Right. They cheated once already. This is the second time. Thus the steep penalty. -- nm - Jovian May 13, 11:01 10
        
        Brady's penalty is really about lying, not just cheating. - volnelk May 13, 11:04 9
        
        if my employer asked for my phone to be looked at, I would sue their asses. nm -- nm - groiny May 13, 11:05 3
        
        You are not in a CBA, though. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 11:07
        
        Sue for what? 'Asking' to look at your phone? How would that lawsuit work? -- nm - Jovian May 13, 11:06 1
        
        invasion of privacy -- nm - Beaker May 13, 11:07
        
        so not giving your phone over is considered lying? If this was a civil rights case people would be screaming about police over stepping -- nm - Beaker May 13, 11:05 4
        
        Sure. But that apples and oranges. - TWuG May 13, 11:07
        
        And if this was a civil case (whoich it is), Brady would be guilty as hell. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 11:07
        
        Honestly? Not thinking Brady was lying his ass off during that press conference last year, is like thinking OJ was innocent. -- nm - Jovian May 13, 11:05 1
        
        I don't think he used a knife on the balls -- nm - Beaker May 13, 11:06
        
        plus Hoodie was completely exhonerated in this ball crap -- nm - Beaker May 13, 11:01 2
        
        But ignorance is no excuse when it comes to protecting the shield. -- nm - Sean Payton May 13, 11:03
        
        And Spygate didnt involve Brady -- nm - eag May 13, 11:01
      - either way, it is fun to discuss/argue :) -- nm - Peglegpete May 13, 10:59
    - "possibly,maybe had some form of idea or knowledge that the balls might have maybe been deflated" -- nm - groiny May 13, 10:57 4
      - I think Brady knew since college what pressure he wanted and deflated balls his whole career -- nm - Peglegpete May 13, 10:59 3
        
        *signs you up to write their next report* -- nm - Goodell May 13, 10:59 2
        
        you realize this means I will have to work very very closely with Rachel Nichols :))) -- nm - Peglegpete May 13, 11:02 1
        
        just please don't punch her in an elevator...or at least where cameras are -- nm - Goodell May 13, 11:03
    - Stannis wouldn't convict given the evidence at hand -- nm - Beaker May 13, 10:57 4
      - Stannis would have executed him before the Superbowl even happened -- nm - Jovian May 13, 11:02 1
        
        after Ramsey Bolton had a little fun :) -- nm - Peglegpete May 13, 11:03
      - Stannis would cut Brady's fingertips off -- nm - Peglegpete May 13, 10:58 1
        
        "Try throwing a pass without thumbs!" -- nm - TWuG May 13, 11:05
- going that hard was dumb on so many levels by the NFL. When Brady wins they will look not only stupid but also incompetent -- nm - Beaker May 13, 10:53
I wish prime time shows still had opening credits. I think TV shows are well serviced by having them. - Jovian May 13, 10:50 6
- At this point, I'd guess it's because of the major networks wanting the jam as much actual material in the timeslot. -- nm - Shaun May 13, 10:51 5
  - If by "actual material" you mean "commercials". -- nm - Ender May 13, 11:01
  - Its stupid is what it is. They add so much character to a series. And they don't take more than one or two minutes. - Jovian May 13, 10:54 3
    - when you only have 22 minutes, 1 or 2 is a lot. -- nm - Andie May 13, 10:55
    - I fast forward through them -- nm - groiny May 13, 10:55 1
      - omg I cant even imagine doing that. I am physically unable to do that. -- nm - Jovian May 13, 10:59
Preakness: Entry List and Draw - budice May 13, 10:49 1

- last night IIRC -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 10:44 2
  - I was shocked how much they wrapped up. It felt like the seaosn finale. Then you see the previews for next week... - Spawn May 13, 11:01
  - Nope its next week -- nm - eag May 13, 10:47
Boston Herald: Why do they hate us? -- (link) - Shaun May 13, 10:39 6
- Its amazing really. Amazing how an entire region of the US is in complete denial of the facts. - Jovian May 13, 10:53 5
  - the facts that the ref had to be talked into remembering which measurement tool he used? and how one showed nothing wrong and the other did? - Beaker May 13, 10:55 4
    - Or that they let half the game be played after being told about it the night before.... - Will Hunting May 13, 10:57
    - So the 3 month investigation report that Wells put together is all bullshit then? - Jovian May 13, 10:57 2
      - pretty much. Another piece they used was how Brady gave signed stuff to the equipment managers..which every single player does on every single team -- nm - Beaker May 13, 10:58 1
        
        so the two locker room guys just did it for their own amusement? -- nm - Jovian May 13, 11:03

I had a business idea last night after reading about this very awesome-sounding product line. -- (link) - Beryllium May 13, 10:08 4
- "Transparent aluminum. That's the ticket, laddie." -- nm - Inigo May 13, 10:15 3
  - They have a version of the product that is a solar floor tile, so I was thinking ... what kind of floor is outside all the time, doing next to nothing - Beryllium May 13, 10:18 2
