How do you reconcile that belief with the commissioner fighting for two years to punish the Patriots and suspend Tom Brady?

Is it all one big conspiracy wrapped in a conspiracy? Was deflate gate supposed to throw us off the trail?

Don’t try to talk rationally with simpletons.

Do you even public relations?

Slap on the wrist to look "even-handed."

Kraft owns this shite.

Been well known for years.

Just saying jags 6 penalties for 96 yards and pats 1 for 5. Might not be the case but every pats game seems to be this way

The pats who got caught breaking leave rules lost a player for 4 games

The saints, who had fake tampered evidence , lost a coach and multiple players for a season


Sure, they really "stuck it to the pats "

Telling fans that they could win a trip to the Superbowl and watch the Pats play the Vikings - gave it away a bit.

It was ploy to look like they were unbiased. Try again.

Why are these people not betting their savings on the Patriots money line?

I don't believe that the league fixed it for the patriots but implicit bias is real. And the refs suffer from it for teams like the Patriots or Alabama..NBA stars are an especially good example since its such an individual game that relies on a referee trying to be unbiased as possible. Think about how many steps LeBron is allowed to take sometimes.

I don't think its preventable, since its unconscious. But I could also see Goodell making it known that certain teams are more valuable to the league if they succeed and affecting decision making that way.

What's wrong with watching something, enjoying it, but calling it out for what it is?

WWE is popular too but I don't mock their fans.

NFL is almost as predictable as the NBA. You knew that the choke was coming. Why teams go full retard against the Patriots is beyond me. Even college is becoming predictable.

Make up sex. Those last two calls of the half were horrible!

It's always comforting to be on the opposite side of an argument than you. Reinforces the belief that I'm right.

Goodell wanted no part of the Jags in the Super Bowl. Patriots get every call their way.
