It bothers me greatly that their reputation (is) called into question @AroundTheNFL: Kraft: The New England Patriots have done nothing inappropriate. Tom and Bill are my guys and my family. @RapSheet: Robert Kraft said the league should apologize to his team if its proven that his team had no wrongdoing. Wow.

Momentoftrth Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 He basically just said... You can't prove it so F off. The balls on this guy. But it's easy to be tough when the Commish is in your pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolishDave Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Another member of the syndicate pops his head up and announces his presence. So, Mr. Kraft....tell me about your relationship with the ball boy..... It would be great to put all these guys on a polygraph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Belichik on podium now and refusing to talk about balls. Aye... What more do you want him to say? He said he has no knowledge of and involvement with the balls possibly being tampered with. There is nothing more that he can add that will clarify the situation. The league office is going to do an exhaustive investigation that will go past the SB. It has every incentive to get it right. In reality this isn't a very complicated case. The investigators know who handled the balls and they know the timeline. Most people are assuming the worst motive from the Pats. I'm not. My position is let the process run its course and let the chips fall where they may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HamSandwhich Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Why in the world would the NFL apologize? If it turned out that somehow they are exonerated from all wrong doing, I would understand the media apologizing, but why the NFL? He sounds like a baboon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 The more vehement the denial, the greater the probability of guilt. It's always that way. It's not the vehement denial that does people in. It's the constant but changing denials. When you stand up and say "That's ridiculous," then a day later stand up and say "We didn't do it" (wait, is no longer ridiculous now?), and then stand up and say "I don't know anything about that stuff" (but you knew no one did anything just before...isn't that knowing something?), and THEN say "Okay, now I know a lot about this, and now I can say we absolutely didn't do it" (so the first time you said it you were...what, guessing?) and "We don't even come near the line, much less cross it" (but you've been penalized before for crossing the line?), that's not just vehement denial. It's vehemently stupid denial, trying to find the denial everyone will actually accept. Dumbest. PR. Ever. They should have just stuck with "That's ridiculous." Going from "It's no big deal" to "I spent three days looking into this, and I actually took off my hoodie to look respectable in front of y'all" has done them more damage than damn near anything else they could do.
