Don't waste your time here with this, it falls on deaf ears.
The people who run the NFL like Goodell and Vincent are strait as an arrow, they never conduct stings or witch hunts, they conduct fair, balanced investigations with no agendas, hold no grudges and dole out fair and appropriate punishments.

that's nothing...
I heard on a Boston radio sports show...
that both Goodell and Vincent are considered persons of interest in the Kennedy assassination...

Look guys it may be the end of America as you know it but can you leave the rest of the world out of it ?
Since the rest of the world does not play NFL we are innocent parties in this. Perhaps if you all watched cricket next season your country might be saved from Armageddon. I know it sounds cruel but it could be the saving of the nation.
Are the Avengers available to solve this ? After all that guy with the cool shield could be on your side.
Good luck.

Doubtful; considering the way they've butchered this sting and the witch hunt that followed, they'd never be able to pull it off.
We're used to witch hunts here in New England, we've survived them since 1692.
And we'll survive this one.

The only thing that is funny is that it is on the correct finger
for sending a message to the NFL and other sore losers.

Ravens just picked up Arrington from the Pats, looks like a solid pick up, now if Jimmy Smith, Webb can stay healthy I actually think the Ravens could have a really good secondary, (could being the key word ) Perriman looked great in mini camp (no drops) as well as our new TE, got to give it to Ozzy on this draft class as well as some solid work through free agents/trades, I'm getting excited!! ok back to Brady

and the hits just keep coming....
A.J. Feeley says he witnessed Patriots use doctored footballs
Posted by Michael David Smith on May 13, 2015, 10:54 AM EDT
Tom Brady

Former NFL quarterback A.J. Feeley says the Patriots were breaking the rules about properly preparing footballs long before Deflategate.
Feeley said on 97.5 The Fanatic that when he was playing for the Dolphins in 2004, he saw Patriots quarterback Tom Brady using old, broken-in balls at a time when NFL rules said that teams had to use new balls provided by the league.
“Prior to Tommy and Peyton Manning going to the league and saying, ‘Let us doctor our balls’ we used to all play with the same balls,” Feeley said. “Somehow this beat-up ball from the ball boy was getting thrown in on offense for New England, yet when we were on offense this orange brand new ball was getting thrown in.”
Feeley says Brady was getting an advantage, and Feeley had a problem with it.
“He’s getting his own balls thrown in on offense,” Feeley said. “That was an issue to me at the time. . . . We saw it then.”
If the Patriots were cheating to gain an advantage over the Dolphins in 2004, it’s odd that no one said anything about it until 2015. Maybe no one said anything because they didn’t think it was a big deal. This week the NFL showed that it thinks tampering with the footballs is a very big deal.

this is my last post on Deflategate...
I'm sure everybody know my position by now...and I'm not changing that...
none of my posts were of a personal nature to any forum member on here...
but I think the aggravation I'm causing to some forum members has become too much...
if I'm hurting anyone's feelings because of what I believe...then it's just not fun anymore...

It's all good Mike, lots of passionate folks here on the forum whether it be toy soldiers or sports which indeed is a good thing, that being said no doubt when ones team is in the spot light for negative reasons/fines/suspensions/etc. it's a hard pill to swallow and with media, social network beating a topic to death makes it even worse, so in some ways it's good we have this part of the forum to discuss such matters, we may not always agree on certain topics but voicing our thoughts/opinions is another enjoyable part of this forum, we may piss each other off from time to time but I'm sure all the fellas here take no personal grudge in stating a opinion...Sammy

I am heading to my family in New England next week..I thought I was fighting with George
on the phone with my brother. I swear they are all in on the support Pats and Brady talking points..I hate talking sports or politics with any of my family. Good thing I live so far away from them. I can love them safely from a distance.. MichaelPanzer ace

Pats will go 2-2 (or .500 or better in any amount of games that the suspension turns out to be under an appeal unless it is just 1 game) then go on to play in the Super Bowl and perhaps win it all.

Since George keeps all of us toy soldier customers, ( sports enemies ),close, buttering him up will not get you any discounts. We would switch team loyalty in a heartbeat if it did.^&grin Michael

What really cracks me up is customers who think they have a claim on the win and loss record of an organization with which they have no connection other than claiming so.
I've decided to be a customer of all 32 NFL teams. That way "my team" always wins.
ROFLMAO
A dagger to the heart, but oh so true. A quote from Senator John McCain, "I think it's really disgraceful that NFL teams...had to be paid to honor our veterans." The money game from the DoD to sponsor patriotic displays during games. The NFL is really getting on my nerves. How awful is it that the mega-rich NFL couldn't pay for this themselves? -- Al

The Patriots have issued a rebuttal to the Wells Report, in what can best be described as taking the offensive. The Patriots have decided not to go quietly into the good night but contest this full head on, mincing no words.
What you have is one of the most powerful owners taking on a Commissioner that he has strongly supported, friend vs. friend.
This has the potential to get ugly very fast.
