Obnoxious Football Trash Talk Thread

[finsfan]

Spin it however you want, but you are trying to tell me that the pats accidentally made a minor rules infraction and were then fined $500k and had a first round draft pick taken away. Sure. There must be a long list of other instances of huge fines and penalties for other teams' minor rules infractions.

And I'm the moron?

Hey, Suh gets fined all the time and all he does is accidentally step in the wrong spot. He could have literally stepped on any other part of the field and it would have been legal. He gained nothing from doing it either! Not cheating!

look up the Denver Broncos some time... They're a team that plays in Colorado. Payton Manning has played for them for a couple years.

Sorry... Peyton Manning is a Quarterback (that's the guy who throws the ball)

 

[stratslinger]

I hear a certain Seattle running back picked up a fine or two over the past couple years too...

 

[day_trippr]

[...]And I'm the moron?

Clearly.

Any other questions you need help with here?

Cheers!

Still not seeing any $500k fines and forfeited draft picks for minor rules infractions.

Big penalties against the Broncos for circumventing the salary cap, but that is a big deal, not like accidentally using a video camera in the one spot they were asked not to for no apparent advantage whatsoever.

Got me!

 

[stratslinger]

Which is exactly why that punishment was as pants-on-head retahded...

It was a case of a new Commissioner (remember, he had only held his position for a hair over a year when SpyGate happened), and he was looking for some strong case to drop the hammer on and let everyone know he wasn't going to be a pushover. And, all of a sudden, Belichick made a bone headed move in ignoring this new rule change regarding cameras, and since just about everyone who wasn't a Pats fan at the time hated the Pats, they were a perfect target.

Whichever way you look at it, the rule they were punished for breaking was for having a cameraman on the sideline, most likely taping signals (admittedly, there's not a whole helluva lot else he would've been doing there). Had they had that same guy in the coach's box, no rule would've been broken and we never would have had this BS to deal with for all these years. It's the one thing Belichick has done that has ticked me off in the long term...

OMG, you must be a yoga guru statslinger, because the ethical gyrations to which you'll go to minimize the spygate offenses remind me of this guy:

 

[jbaysurfer]

Agreed... The Pats can't simply pluck someone off the street and hope to replace Browner's 51 holding penalties.

LOL..now this I've got your back on. Browner is going to be a classic case of addition by subtraction.

 

[stratslinger]

Exactly what am I minimizing? The rule was "you can't tape from the sideline, but you can still tape from other approved locations (the coaches box being one of them)". They kept someone on the sideline anyway. Exactly what do YOU think they could've taped from the sideline that they couldn't have taped from the coaches box, or any of the other still-approved locations?

Yes, it was a rule.

Yes, it was stupid to break it.

No, I really don't believe any benefit was gained by doing it that couldn't have been gained by following the then-current rules. Which is exactly why it was a dumb rule to break. Hell, maybe the punishment was justified just for the sheer stupidity of the thing.

 

[Cape Brewing]

Holy &$(@. Really? We are still talking about Spygate?

Grow dicks.

 

[jbaysurfer]

^Meh, I don't care. But I was under the impression you were trying to paint it as a minor rule infraction, but the stiffest penalty in the history of the league says that's not accurate.

Your last post seems to make it more black and white: Yes, it was a rule. Yes they broke it. Whether it was 'stupid' to do so is less relevant to me than if it was done to get an edge. That said, I don't believe anything is ever done under Belichick's watch is NOT intended to gain an edge.

Whatever...it's so played. I think you give it more airtime than you should, but that's your prerogative.

Given the last paragraph of my post, I think this response is 100% appropriate. Now please stop saying **** that I agree with Cape so I can get back to hoping some stranger walks up and kicks you in the nuts today.

 

[motobrewer]

the best part about spygate is nobody will stop talking about it, ever.

bathe in your bath of shame!!

 

[Darwin18]

Yep, no one talks about the championships the Pats have won or how great Brady has played in the Superbowls. Its all about the cheating. CHEATERS!!!! That's your legacy.

 

[stratslinger]

So Darwin, that's _some_ QB your team just picked up... If only the entire AFC East hadn't figured out how to cover him years ago when he played for Buffalo.

 

[Darwin18]

Veteran low cost QB brought in to push Smith and insurance in case Smith blows up. Again. Don't get your panties in a bunch.

Ok. I'm laughing. That's f'ing funny chit there.

 

[ChshreCat]

Aaron Hernandez shouldn't be tried for murder. All he did was shoot his guns in a direction that wasn't legal. He could have shot them in many other directions and it wouldn't have been an issue. He's totally innocent.

Revis said going to the Jets is "a step up"!! Ouch! I hope he is just talking financially.

i drank some old coffee, and now i'm really dizzy.

Actually, it was Shane Vareen talking about the Giants... After gushing about the Pats for about 20 minutes.

Cool story otherwise.

Damn. Totally schooled on that one haha just assumed it was Revis. The point is the same though!

Is Jimmy Graham a black ginger? Hate that dude...

Let me guess, you think he's a big meany head for yelling at a few Seahawks two years ago?

Fifty bucks a co-worker roofied you again.

 

[the_bird]

What point? He said great things about playing for Belichick and the Patriots, but then he also said great things about the Giants organization. Which I think most people in New England would agree with; the Giants have tended to be a very well-run, stable organization. I've heard Belichick go on about the respect he has for the Mara family, and Tom Coughlin's a very good coach. I'm glad that, if Vereen wasn't going to return to New England, that he's going to play for the G-men.

 

[jbaysurfer]

More than half the posts on this page are from Pats fans. Mods can we get a thread title change? "Cheaters Unite" or "Defend the Hive!"...or "I like squeezing Bill's Balls" might be more appropriate.

Suh is gonna end Tommy Ugg Boots' career and rip him open in a way Gisele has only tried to do.

Can't Wait!
