Every front office knew he was a murderer? Oh really??

They took a risk on a character risk guy, which every team does every single year. Doesn't mean shite to their moral code

Not after a pay raise and additional bonuses to prevent that from happening.

Im no Patriots fan, just playing devil's advocate. Is it possible the Pats equip managers "worked the balls" like Brady said and coupled with the cold air they deflated some? I assume all teams have their balls worked by the staff so this is weak at best.


Unless they were squeezing the balls between two pipe clamps idk how that much air would leak out of them

It's like Goodell saying he didn't see the video of Rice.


totally different, several reporters known to suck at the tit of goodell and the league office reported (all of them, guys who are accurate 90% of the time, and all at once they reported this) that the league had seen the tape of what happened inside including a mort report detailing the events precisely...add to the fact they didn't need to see it anyway, and they had the means to snap their fingers and get it AAAAND an AP report that they had been sent the tape (I guess they don't check their mail on park avenue) and you have an entirely different situation

following the flow of logic, whatever happened with the rice case, the NFL did something wrong and/or stupid no matter what scenario played out.

It was on his combine report.

Negatives:
- small for a TE
- not a great blocker
- capable of murder

Absolutely, unequivocally not possible.

Ok, if it helps you sleep at night. The Patriots are dirty, I am not the only person who believes that. You are in the minority if you don't.

So do they get credit for the bad apples they've taken in over the years and done great with (and with those dudes staying out of trouble), or are you just here to pick and choose what to be outraged about?

I just want to add, in case we are all forgetting, the deflated balls were discovered in the first half when the score was 17-7. The Colts were still in it though their prospects still didn't look that great.

The balls were swapped out with balls that were within regulations to start the second half. Brady starts the second half 9-of-9 while his team racks up 28 unanswered points to win the game 45-7.

The NFL knows the deflated balls had no impact on the game. If anything, the halftime score proves they were actually a detriment to the Patriots.

Apparently at some point "Minority Report" became a real thing and the Patriots just knew that Hernandez was a murderer at the time of the draft

Would you like to actually make a logical argument at some point?
