More Patriots bias from the site:

Quote

There was no punishment because the Patriots' substitutions were completely legal. Belichick was simply playing chess while Harbaugh was playing checkers.

After the season concluded, the league members considered a proposal from the Ravens to simplifying the "eligible/ineligible" rule so Harbaugh and the Ravens could better understand it.

In March 2015 the NFL competition committee did in fact vote to dumb-down the rule for Harbaugh, the Ravens and the other teams who had a hard time with the original version. An anonymous league source said that they even wrote a summary in crayon for them, using pictures and cartoon characters for some of the bigger words and more complicated concepts. Despite all this, rumor has it that Harbaugh still has no idea what the rule says.

Oh man this is a great resource to use next time I hear someone complaining about how the Patriots are nothing but cheaters!

I never said they were nothing but cheaters. I said that they get lighter punishment (and that was before I realized that we are still waiting on a decision about Brady - he may get nothing). By contrast, A-Rod never had a positive test, and he got A YEAR'S SUSPENSION.

And to whomever said that Sean Payton "had to know": you have as little evidence of that as I have that Bellicheater "had to know". But I think any rational person that had gotten hammered over videotaping an opponents practice would be motivated to become more deeply involved and more completely aware of all of the happenings within the organization, lest it run afoul of the rules again. However, given that the penalties are so light, why bother? Why not keep cheating? America has no concept of shame anymore.

I am not arguing for the Patriots. i wish the Patriots got hammered hard.

"Spygate" was not about videotaping opponents' practices. There has never been any evidence of the Patriots videotaping an opponent's practice. They were not punished for videotaping an opponent's practice.

Okay, forget fantasy for now. Whatever.

The Browns signed RG3. Thoughts?

It will take a lot more than RGIII to make the Browns good

I think he is better than manziel. He needs to stay healthy. Manziel needs to stay away from parties

What does everyone think about Josh Norman getting let go so suddenly by the Panthers? Do they know something we don't, or are they just calling his bluff and letting him test the market?

Calamitas · « **Reply #41 on:** May 26, 2016, 04:42:20 pm »

I'm a huge football fan from Germany (not a good combination if you want sleep more than 6x/week

)
I do love the Packers

Here we go again. I really think the NFL is a dying industry. It's only so long before someone comes up with undeniable evidence that football gives you a lot more concussions than the media makes us think and concussions are a lot worse than the media leads us to think.

Maybe that's a better discussion for RSP though. But every thread I make in RSP goes terribly off topic and sometimes gets locked

The evidence is already there lol. It's just that Nobody Cares, and it'll take a long time for there to be a real shortage of good players as a result.

Anyhow, Cam Newton is a good footballer. But I'm just watching this to tide me over until the Packer game on Sunday.

So what do ya'll think of the replay of Cam Newton flossing his teeth?
