Surprise, surprise.

NEW YORK (AP) -- An NFL investigation has found that New England Patriots employees likely deflated footballs and that quarterback Tom Brady was "at least generally aware" of the rules violations.

The NFL began the investigation after the Patriots won the AFC Championship game in January, when the Indianapolis Colts complained that several footballs were under inflated.

The 243-page report released Wednesday said league investigators found no evidence that coach Bill Belichick and team management knew of the practice

Gibbs left the 2nd time mostly due to his Grandson and Taylor took the wind out of him too. End of story.

Yeah he was done with football. Thats it. He certainly wasnt worried about losing or sticking around and tarnishing his reputation.

Well, if those two things didn't happen chances are he may have stuck around for a 2nd contract. He still enjoyed coaching but those life events put things in perspective I think.

Greg Hardy of Dallas Cowboys says he's ditching Twitter after insensitive 9/11-related tweet

When it comes to being trash, Greg Hardy is top of the heap

[MTK]

Brilliant idea to joke about 9/11, right up there with Holocaust jokes. Always hilarious comedy material.

[Hog1]

Perhaps Jerra' can spin it that Greg is like mentally challenged in some way (and obviously he is) and get like a provisional pick for next year.
THAT Jerra'.....what a schemer.

How great would it be for Hardy and Gregory to end up as complete busts for the Pukes? They so deserve it.

Gregory actually seems like he is a good kid with some issues. I hope he can turn things around. He can feel free to dominate Eagles and Giants.

Unless they meet in the playoffs, they dont even have to play Hardy this year.

As have a lot of other teams in the past.
Would not surprise me to know that all of them do it frequently if not all the time.

here is the actual report.

i look forward to reading it.

timing of release right after draft is suspicious.
--------------------------
holy snickies - read pages 78 to 88 or so. discussion of text messages and factual narrative, not boring PSI stuff.

Tom Brady knew and ordered it. Tom Brady lied to the NFL. The Pats counsel didnt let McNally be re-interviewed after they got the text messages.


Rob Kraft sucks. He was demanding an apology?

Tom Brady is a freaking liar.

No way BB didnt know about this.

.. and Goddell waited until after the draft to release the report when he had to be aware of its findings weeks if not months ago.

i quick read a few pages and i suffer from confirmation bias w regards to the Pats ... but this stinks. the nfl is coddling the pats at this point.
-----------------------------------------



^^ McNally has worked for the pats for 36 years, the other guy is their equipment guy .... and Tom Brady told the investigators he didnt even know who he was?

tom your legacy has taken a huge hit imo. not for deflating balls but for lying and being a douche to levels only seen by Arod.

------------------------------------------------------

Brady refused to cooperate fully with investigators by not turning over emails, text messages and other electronic communications requested Wells and his group.

Patriots likely deflated balls in AFC Championship game, per official investigation - SBNation.com

So spy gate and deflate gate, have the Patriots ever won a legit superbowl? Tuck rule....amazing

[NC_Skins]

So it looks like Tom Brady traded some autographs for some deflated balls, yet he didn't know anything about it. They should suspend him about 6 games and dock the Patriots some draft picks. It's not about this one incident, it's about a continued pattern of cheating with this organization. Hell, we got a 36mil cap penalty imposed for something done in an uncapped year.
