Pro Bowler.

It clearly pre-dates Belichick/Brady era, so those two are just nice fit.

Yep. Crush and Inqui slacking off today. Unacceptable.

Thanks - thought so but figured better make sure.

Is midnight tonight deadline for tenders only or for trades as well?

This saga has become ridiculous on multiple levels, from Brady's obvious lies and Belichick's "scientific" explanation, over multiple sources who knew what happened and with how many balls, to people trying to find excuses for that shady NE organization. Bottom line is - they do cheat and this was not the first time they've been caught. Nobody in their right mind can trust them. They've been tagged with multiple asterisks now. Forever.

Yeah, they hit a SB slump - did not win the next one.

From the rules thread: * Players Franchised for the 2nd straight year cost 120% of the normal rate I believe we take the tag rate into account, not his previous cap hit. This is the first time I'm doing the Forum Mock though, I might be wrong.

I think it would be 11.5+20%=13.8. 14 stars.

It's official, Josh Gordon suspended for at least 1 year: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000468011/article/browns-josh-gordon-suspended-one-year-by-nfl Not that I thought Browns wouldn't draft the WR but there goes a good one before 26, definitely.

Yeah, from the cost point of view it looks weird but I'm happy, considering a healthy cap. We'll see how this turns out.

From everything we heard so far it has to be 1.5-2.0 psi. Unless, of course, cover up is complete.

We should get better, regardless of players' age.

I saw the name before, not in the fine context though

Your experiment, although appreciated, was not complete - doesn't show how vigorous rubbing of the football forces the bladder into equilibrium at half time break.

You should post a video so people know what are you talking about. If the video of that nature is allowed.

This discussion is becoming too funny.

That's the best part, unless it's all for show. I don't trust them much.

Before I click, I have to say this: PLEASE LET IT BE RAY! Oh, missed NBC part

I trust you've seen those fumble stats for the entire league since 2007? There are some more interesting ones for individual players when playing for other teams, then signing with NE.

I don't agree with this. How many fumbles never happened because they had a better grip on the ball? Perhaps one in that 2011 title game that might have made all the difference? Score in the game vs Colts cannot abolish them from plain cheating. You MUST play by the rules. *

Why the Colts' balls were not affected? Have they played in Miami that same game?

This is old but remains relevant and I like it a lot

Load of nothing and more lies. No credibility. "I handled dozens of balls last two days and I can't tell the difference of 0.5 or 1 pound / ^2 inch" But it was 2lbs and your quarterback certainly can.

Trestman was in Baltimore the same day Gase had the evening interview.
