Something tells me Woody in the penthouse like :sas2: right now. I'm sure Goodell might be a source too. He took a bullet for the Pats with Spygate and now when he's actually trying to punish him he got Kraft talking about he lost faith in the league. Goodell ain't going nowhere because like Stern he knows where the bodies are buried. Imma need Rex and Tyrod to go ahead and take that AFC east now......and y'all might as well stop arguing with Pats fans. They dug in like ticks. Goodell could've kept all of that evidence and posted it on Facebook they'd still be claiming it don't matter. They worse than casual fans acting like this ain't important
I think he's gone in 2019

I agree with you man, I think my hot take was originally misunderstood which is why I feel the need to clarify (even tho we still disagree lol but there's nothing wrong with that either).

I know there is a big difference between watching film and stealing a game plan/playbook. I just disagree with you guys on how much of a factor that information was to those wins.

I'm not being a smart ass. This is a serious question. Have you ever played football before? I played defense and the key to playing defense is how fast you can process information and react. On any given play I'd have to remember play call tendencies from film then cross reference that with down and distance, hash, RB depth, splits, lineman being light/heavy, time left in the quarter, real time play call tendencies, and sometimes even weather while processing the defense that was just called from the sidelines as well as checking signals with teammates ALLLLLL before the ball snaps. There was once that we actually knew a team's signal because they were too stupid/lazy to change them. They didn't do shyt against us. The hard part about defense is that you're reactionary. Knowing the plays removes the hard part of defense and since football is inherently tilted towards the offense it's an even bigger advantage for the Pats offense to know another team's D. Knowing where your opponent will be makes execution a lot easier. Any person that's ever played football can confirm this. I'm curious why you don't think it's that big of a factor.

They pay that man to be a punching bag, in that sense he's doing an excellent job, we're not going to have another Tagliabue or Rozell because they had too much power. Roger's a company man and he's gonna take his beating then leave. He won't be forced out by anyone because the owners need a scapegoat. If everyone's angry at Goodell then no one is looking at them.

I need to find the past articles I wrote on Goodell and Rozelle. Pete let the NFL shield do the talking and wasn't out in front, unlike the commissioner accepting his early cheers from writers wanting to see him hammer players for stepping out of line.

I think the NFL is looking for a revival of that kind of leadership from another commissioner

So from what I've learned the Patriots basically stole our ring from us

By spying on our practices & walk through and stealing our scripted play sheet before the Superbowl 05

Gooddell basically destroyed the evidence so this never got out

Smh

It's all good Chip Kelly 'bout to rape the game for what they did to the cold crush.

Pay us like you owe us

Why did he get rid of the fukking tapes :snoop:

Eagles brehs we really got robbed :to:

TO should have been MVP, Donny should have a statue, Dawkins should have a ring :mjcry:


Got damn Andy Reid's dumbass never deviated from he script too :snoop:

That stolen ring will most likely prevent them all (except Dawk) from going to the HOF

I'm ready to bury that era like those lost tapes

At least everyone now knows they stole our ring

And now you have it.. How you can pair up a coach who couldn't win in Cleveland with a marginally talented college QB and create a dynasty.

Just add the willingness to spy and cheat and throw in a football geek who just happens to be an analytical genius with a photographic memory
