Goodell won't do anything

Spikes and Talib claim the injuries reported by the team weren't the injuries they had actually sustained, adding that it’s typical protocol in New England.

So their play just fell off a side of the cliff?

I don't understand why they would throw the Pats under the bus on that.

It's for personal player safety that they didn't disclose the true nature of the injury (in most cases).

Mike Florio says (HOPES) these are serious allegations waged and believes this could be the first of many shots fired in an all-out assault on Bill Belichick and the Patriots.

They're not saying they didn't have injuries they're saying the injuries that were reported weren't the ones they had

This is not an uncommon practice with the Patriots or anyone else for that matter.

Not sure what these two are trying to accomplish. Bunch of butt hurt sissies if you ask me.

Understood. Just don't know why they would spill the beans now.

Talib and Spikes are both TPOS so i'm not surprised they would leave town like this.

By the rules of the league it is cheating. Rules are explicit on reporting injuries. It's done that way for a variety of reason including supposedly protecting the players and avoiding falsified injury reports to try and gain a competitive advantage.

Another reason is that it can be used against a player when contract time comes around. If teams think you had a significant injury to your leg that kept you out some games and could think it may linger or affect your play later, it can reduce your contract value.

I agree with the rule, and never really mind Belichick getting called out, but I doubt much comes from this. Just disgruntled former players and that's how they'll

I mean, this IS the organization that has had Tom Brady on every injury report for the last several years.

The only reason the injury report exsist is because of gambling.

Youre catching an awfully wild net for the deffinition of cheating. Im sure you caught your own team (saints i assume) in that same net.

I really could careless if every team does it. It's cheating and I hope they get disciplined in the highest bc everyone was having "performance betting" in the locker room and the Saints get hammered. I promise you nothing will be done to them bc there the only team that has cheated in past and they got a slap on the risk for that.
