Brady to Ravens: 'Study the rule book and figure it out'

[DMH_in_WA]

2. I clearly outlined what the caveat was. If you choose to ignore it, be my guest. I think the "whatever man" line accurately sums up everything you've said so far.

Your caveat was useless and baseless because it's predicated on you pulling a number (10 steps) and a process you know nothing about out of thin air and acting like it's a fact that proves your point.

And I'm pretty sure the "Whatever man" actually sums you up from everything I've seen you write to multiple individuals so far.

[1/28/01]

Well, you did once accuse me of only stating the obvious.

Kind of hard to argue you aren't the kettle lately...

Touche. The things I've been calling you out on lately have been very obvious to most. I'll stop now.

[DMH_in_WA]

Love when people say "I'll make sure I am more specific for you" as a retort.

Edit - And when they say it daily, its a beautiful thing.

Well, of course, because all of us are the problem .. don't you see? :|

Very well may not be useless or baseless at all... as we will find out soon enough. Determining whether balls were deflated and HOW or WHO inflated them are two completely different things.

 

If they come out in a week and say "the balls were deflated, but we don't know how", it wouldn't surprise anybody. That would essentially make the entire investigation "useless".

 

In the end, the entire discussion about the situation is useless, but you already knew that. In a best case scenario (for us), they take away draft picks from the Patriots (highly unlikely of course), in which case the Pats likely don't care, because they're playing in the SB.

 

Meanwhile, the general public that hates the Patriots and Belichick specifically, who doesn't care about facts or evidence to begin with, already thinks the Pats are cheaters, with or without any investigation anyway.

Just curious......What is it you think separates you from the "general public"?

Well now....

11 of 12 footballs underinflated...

 

 

oh forgot to add, they were missing 2 lbs or more of air. That didn't "just" happen.

[PoeDinkum]

Well now....

Unlike Belicheats hoodie...

Sorry but you just have to imagine what they're doing and getting away with that isn't "quite" within the rules too.

[allblackraven]

Dear Cliff Avril,

 

Please wipe that smirk off her face. Just so you know, she is wearing No 12 skirt.

 

Thanks

Agreed. Didn't like the shetriots b4...really ain't no fan now. Hope Seattle rox their butz.

l would but I can't stand the Wilson is elite talk because - yeah, no.

[cursona pirate]

Well this is kinda funny now. 

[allblackraven]

How about Beastmode runs all over NE?

[ravensdfan]

hmmm..first I've heard of this...

 

 

 

As NFL investigates Deflate-gate would be wise to speak to Ravens. Some there believe kicking balls used in their playoff game underinflated

 

 

 

 

 

why did we not say something? Why are we always so nicey-nice?

Cause even with the deflated ball crap we had a reasonable chance of beating them?

[PurpleCity5]

If the whole deflating thing happened in then divisional than there should be a cause for concern. As for the AFC title game, Indy got steamrolled. 

[ravensdfan]

That wouldn't help. After a 4 INT game there is someone out there comparing him to Staubach. Please.

[ravensdfan]

Cheating is cheating.

 

Where is that beat writer who tried to claim the Ravens as "the most deplorable franchise"?

 

Think NE has won that title.

[Dr. Kelley]

Yeah, but it was Bill Billicheck.

That was a boston sports writer. I wonder what he says as the asterisks pile up in the record books next to the patriots wins

[ravensdfan]

Probably that everyone is out to get them or some other thing those in denial spout.

 

I can hear NE now " Not our fault the refs didn't catch it".

[The Raven]

Belichick making me look a fool for always talking about The Patriot Way. I still maintain that, cheating aside, the Patriots' method of team building is the way to go. Just a shame they bend the rules and cheat.

[rafahash]

The Patriots make me sick. This is as disgusting as a team can get. Absolutely pathetic.

I think that's what makes it worse. They continue to do stuff like this and they really don't have to.

[The Raven]

I think that's what makes it worse. They continue to do stuff like this and they really don't have to.

 

They are easily the most complete team in the league. They have the best offensive line. A good WR core. Good RBs. Great TE. Elite QB. And they have to cheat. They build their team perfectly. They draft well. They build the trenches strong. They do everything right. And then they cheat. Ugh.

[ravensdfan]

I think that's what makes it worse. They continue to do stuff like this and they really don't have to.

Or do they?

 

I mean, we can argue they didn't have to in the Indy game but I do recall wondering why a couple of Tucker's kickoffs weren't going out of the endzone where they got a runback.

 

I have to imagine that if it makes the ball easier to grip for passing and catching, it makes it easier to hold onto while running as well.

 

Like I said, it is impossible to know if they are up to other shenanigans outside the rules that they simply have not been caught doing yet too.

[BSHU_Miami]

Justin Tucker booted a 52 yard field goal with an under inflated ball....give him his new contract now. Like right now.

[allblackraven]

I think that's what makes it worse. They continue to do stuff like this and they really don't have to.

 

You know, when you are caught so many times, it becomes pretty questionable whether they do or don't have to do it.

 

They just proved me right to hate them more than the Steelers. It's not even close.

Cause, it seems to the public that whenever you mention a fact about a game, that said person is whining or complaining. Just look at the back lash Harbaugh caught for mentioning the ineligible mishap.

No I don't mean at a press conference. I mean like Indy did - right away, through all the official channels.
