Re: NFL 2015: Let's Talk About Balls
patsies got themselves a free agent LB who went and ran some family off the road near the stadium saturday night and when on star called him he said he hit a deer, then left his car in the median.
surprisingly the patsies cut him this afternoon. (of course not after callers to the radio this morning were asking "why a family was on the road so late with a 12yo kid in the car?!!?" making it look like it was their problem and being there caused the accident
)

Pats make all their moves based on WEEI radio callers

Re: NFL 2015: Let's Talk About Balls
Last thing I'll say on this. I'm not mad the Pats got caught. It was stupidity on their part that they got caught. They deserved a punishment. With that said:
1. The process that the "investigation" took with leaks and public outcry was a distraction ploy to get the media away from all of the bad NFL press that the league was getting from Rice and Peterson.
1a. When each phase and leak came out, something was funny. Why would it take over 100 days for this "investigation"? Why would they leak all of he bad information? It keeps the eyes on the NFL and on a stupid investigation to keep interest in the NFL.
2. The punishment that the Pats got was a PR move by Goodell. Why else would the punishment be so harsh? The Vikings and Falcons were caught manipulating balls on the sidelines during a game and got NOTHING. The Chargers were caught rubbing stuff on their balls (hehe) and REFUSED to hand over evidence and got a 20K fine. Pats don't make an employee available for a fifth time and they're uncooperative? 1M and two draft picks? Extremely harsh. GET THEM! THEY ARE CHEATERS!!!! it gets the public on their side because everyone hates a winner. Why do people hate the Yankees and the Lakers and Lebron (he is a db but people still hate him because he wins).
3. Kraft didn't fight the punishment because he didn't have the other owners backing him. He would have been looked at like an Al Davis if he took the league to court.
4. Goodell hearing Brady's appeal will ensure Brady will lose the appeal. Goodell knows that if a neutral arbitrator heard the case, the penalty would be reduced or even wiped away completely. Goodell is again trying to save face in the court of pubic opinion.
Goodell is a db and is really incompetent. He is reactive, not proactive and thought he could use this NON FACTOR as a way of making his public appearance better in the eyes of most people. To me, he comes across as incompetent. He doesn't know how to do his job properly and the NFL needs a better commish than this db.

Re: NFL 2015: Let's Talk About Balls
The NFL Commissioner is there to do one thing - the owners bidding.
He is not an overseer of the game---protecting fans and maybe players. Given that he is extremely competent in looking out for and after the owners.
Y'all think they love and pay him cause he is lousy at his job?

Re: NFL 2015: Let's Talk About Balls
Federal Judge has upheld the Patent and Trademark's office decision to cancel registration of the Washington Redskins' trademark. The grounds cited were that is may (not does) offend Native Americans.
May???? Opens up holes that if any group is offended, they can sue to end a trademark. Heck, a group of Southerners can sue the Yankees on the ground that their name offends them.
The grounds should be harmed, not offended. Nobody is harmed by the use of the word Redskins. If you're offended, get (pardon the pun) a thicker skin.

They used the word "may" because saying "does" would suggest that ALL Native Americans are offended by use of the word. If the various mascot debates have shown anything at all it's that Native Americans are not a monolithic bloc with regards to which terms offend them and which do not.

Re: NFL 2015: Let's Talk About Balls
The law, IMO, needs to deal in certainties and facts, not on feelings.
Then what is the threshold of may? 1? 2? 50? 1,000? 1 million?

He is using an absolute: there absolutely are Native Americans offended by the use of Redskins, that's evident by the demonstrations we've seen over the past few years. While the word itself can't be banned, trademarks using it can be.

So ESPN/Schefter are getting serious heat for posting JPP's medical charts on the tweeters.
Even though, as I understand it, news entities are not subject to HIPAA laws, I'm in agreement that there was zero reason to do so. Report it if need be, that's their job, but to include the images is crossing the line, IMO.

From what I read, as a "news" (hee hee what a crock) org, they are in the free and clear. The leaker is in SERIOUS trouble. IMO, Adam and ESPN are abettors. They should get in as much trouble as the leaker. Criminally, they won't. Civilly? We don't know.

Re: NFL 2015: Let's Talk About Balls
I tend to agree with your sentiment, but we're not likely to see it happen anytime soon. As life becomes more comfortable the tendency appears to be we (humans) become more easily offended because we need something about which we can gripe. Given that, why go around intentionally poking the proverbial bear? It's just a nickname for a football team.

Rose Bowl opts out of being a temp site for the NFL. Chargers/Raiders/Rams will have to go to the Coliseum, Dodger stadium (and take a huge attendance hit) or already have their new stadium built before moving.
