Framegate: NFL Says It Didn't Keep Data on Ball Deflation
Somehow, I have this very strange notion that if the NFL's data actually supported their position, they would be producing it. Instead, the NFL completely reversed course on what they said they were doing and now says they didn't keep any of the data.
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nfl-s-m...025852568.html August 2015: we specifically demand this data. February 2016: no, no, we never wanted the data, why would we? http://itiswhatitis.weei.com/sports/...medium=twitter Quote:
I wouldn't care about all this, except for the fact that the Patriots were docked a first round pick and had their names dragged through the mud, but now all the unbiased scientists support the Patriots, and the NFL is burying the data that could have verified their claims. Of course they are -- it would prove their case was bullshit all along. |

Yes, the NFL's penalty as applied to the Patriots does get a big asterisk next to it. I agree.

Why would they want to drag their premier team and poster boys name through the mud?
Just a big ol conspiracy huh? For more attention? Are ratings down? Need the free pub because nobody watches anymore? I don't think so. |

**** off
Tom Brady is a liar and a cheat 1. Patriot's equipment manager nickname is 'The Deflator' for no other reason than deflating footballs. 2. no equipment manager would deflate a football without consent/approval from his QB 3. Brady denied even knowing equipment manager's name Boom!! Don't give a shit about anything else, Brady lied and cheated.

Actually, I'm not sure it's really an intentional thing from the get go. Here's the SUPER-abbreviated version of what I think happened. 1. Colts say "hey, Pats are deflating balls" 2. NFL guys test balls. Have NEVER heard of ideal gas law. Are instantly convinced Pats are cheating. 3. Word gets leaked to media. Becomes a national firestorm. 4. NFL owners and others (who also never heard of the ideal gas law) pressure Goodell. NOT this shit again?! ****ing Pat cheaters!!!! 5. Wells report backs into the conclusion the NFL is under pressure to find, lest they be seen as a bunch of ****ing bozos. 6. Everything from there is either cover their ass, or try to make sure that they retain all power under the CBA. The lawsuit involving Brady has NOTHING to do with Brady, and everything to do with making sure they keep all the power under the CBA. Anything that makes the NFL look more stupid than it already does gets buried, or ignored. They can't reverse course no matter what they think now becuase they will (1) look like fools, (2) make alot of owners angry at Goodell, and (3) piss off the fan bases of 31 other teams who hate the Patriots. The ship sailed on right/wrong and/or justice a LONG time ago. At about the same time the NFL lost all control over the entire situation, actually.

If only science suggested that that was true. But it doesn't.

How about science establishing that there was no deflation? That doesn't matter? Nicknames > science. Got it.
