napmaster Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Based on the Belichick and Brady press conferences yesterday, it's looking we can already guess the ending of this chapter in Patriot's cheating lore. The undermining of the intergity of the game has really put close friends Kraft and Goodell in a tough bind, but it is looking like they have their escape plan in place and are executing on it. Here's the playbook: 1) Inform equipment manager he is going to be the fall guy, but he will be handsomely compensated at a future date to stick to the story. (Similar to how Tom Brady is going to be compensated at a future date for taking such a sub-market salary to circumvent the salary cap rules. But this isn't about that Patriot's cheating tactic.) 2) Have Belichick publically deny any knowledge at an official press conference. 3) Have Brady pubically deny any knowledge at an official press conference.4) NFL offical investigation finds equipment manager acted independently to help team anyone else's knowledge or approval. (Some details stating the equipment manager heard a Tom Brady interview about liking less inflated balls, and took it upon himself to help the team.) 5) NFL follows letter of the law and fines Patriots $275,000. Rule states $25,000 fine, and the 11 underinflated balls means 11 violations. (NFL gets to portray this as a stiff fine.) 6) Have Robert Kraft publically announce firing of equipment manager at an official press conference. Apologize to fans and guarentee better oversight going forward. 7) Move on the Arizona. Go Patriots! I hope this plays out differently, but the writing seems to be on the wall.

All_Pro_Bills Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 4) NFL offical investigation finds equipment manager acted independently to help team anyone else's knowledge or approval. (Some details stating the equipment manager heard a Tom Brady interview about liking less inflated balls, and took it upon himself to help the team.) The problem is absolutely nobody is going to believe the equipment manager acted on his own with a control freak like Belichek running the show. The motive is simply too weak to be plausible. On the morning WFAN radio show today out of NYC I heard a discussion with a TSA 'profiler' who said he and his peers watched and analyzed the press conference interviews with Belichek and Brady and all of them came to the same conclusion. Both were lying and most likely were completely aware of what was going on with the deflated balls.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 NFL goes radio silent regarding #DeflateGate Early in the life of #DeflateGate, the process had more leaks than a guy on the brink of 50 who drank too much water too close to going to bed.

Hoodie has a pretty good poker face, but Brady gives himself away with that dooshbag smirk he's worn all week.

DC Tom Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hoodie has a pretty good poker face, but Brady gives himself away with that dooshbag smirk he's worn all week. That's because The Devil Wears Hoodies only has one facial expression. Easy to have a poker face when your mug is permanently stuck on "sucking a lemon while a rabbit gnaws at my toe."

There's an "Ivy League" "country club" coverup feel I get with the NFLs handling of all this. Meanwhile Marshawn Lynch is treated as a heathen for trying to wear gold shoes.
