Superbowl sunday!

[Craiga 01453]

I had no problem with Brady at first. Then they uncovered the texts between him and the equipment(?)guy. That sold me. Plus the NFL gives a ton of leeway and benefit of doubt in player controversy. Thus, the 4 week penalty was further proof for me.

Could I be wrong? Most definitely! Could the NFL be wrong? Sure

But like I said, I love to watch the guy play. I agree that he is the best. I can't get past this, especially for him. He is better than that.

As far as the Steelers and others, cheating is cheating. All should be held accountable. If the equipment guys don't understand basic physics that balls compress with cold environments, then it's time to replace them. Every single person within any organization represents that team, even front office help.

I completely understand. Just having some friendly debate. I agree with most of what you say, especially about all being held accountable. I honestly don't know what to believe. I do, however, believe that 4 games was too much. In a league that allows players to get out of jail and return to the field, 25% of the regular season for allegedly deflating balls seems a bit excessive to me. Run a dog fighting ring, beat a murder charge, shoot yourself in the leg in a club (with an unregistered firearm), beat your gf bloody on an elevator (with video proof), allegedly get shot in a club yet nobody saw it (then the evidence surfaces that you shot yourself accidentally) but were too drunk to know what happened, get a DUI (putting lives in danger), beat your KID!!!, I could keep going....the NFL lets you back on the field. I don't remember the exact number I read, but prior to this years NFL regular season the NFL saw its first 4 consecutive weeks without a player arrest in years!!! The NFL should be addressing that issue rather than spending BILLIONS to "prove" a player was responsible for under deflated footballs! How many homeless could have been fed and taken off the streets with that?? How many school supplies could have been bought for under funded schools nation wide?? How may people could have gotten the help they needed with the opiate/heroin crisis our country is facing?? Thousands are dying daily, that money LITERALY could have saved human lives with food, shelter or addiction help, only to name a few...
Anyway, like I said before, nice chatting with you and getting some friendly debate going...
