Football ESPN Outside the Lines Report: Goodell went easy on Spygate - Page 2

**Buehler445** · 09-08-2015, 09:15 AM

It's been all over ESPN Radio all morning. Report says that Goodell threw the book at Brady because he gave them a break on Spygate.

I didn't hear it all, but they alleged that the NFL destroyed evidence because they videoed a shitton of practices and Goodell wanted to limit the exposure to a few games. They said that Belichick even admitted to doing like 40 games but Goodell covered it up.

A couple other points that were brought up that were interesting was that Martz came out and said Goodell asked him to put out a statement saying he was satisfied with the investigation for the good of the league and he is absolutely not.

Also, the reporter said that former Pat players admitted to the Pats sending a low level guy to the other lockerroom while they were warming up to steal the scripted plays that most teams start with.

I haven't seen the piece, but a lot of the things this reporter spouted off were pretty damning. Usually OTL is pretty good, but this had a lot of conspiracy theory tone to it.

Has anyone read it?

Clearly not, some of the tapes were destroyed by Goodell's cronies. I am guessing the really bad ones and they kept a few worthless ones.

Where is the rule that 12 year old ball boys can't pick up garbage and other paper debris lying around locker rooms during pre-game warm ups? If there is no specific rule, then they didn't cheat. Your team just isn't trying hard enough.

This report is devastating. It really lays out the way the Pats systematically cheated their way to multiple championships. I honestly don't want it to be true.

Chiefnj2 · 09-08-2015, 10:35 AM

I wonder how much Vegas knew about all of it.

Integrity of the game.

NFL does not protect it.

MLB does which is why we were recently discussing Shoeless Joe and Pete Rose.

Good read. Thanks for posting. I thought they said it hadn't dropped yet.

Joke of a franchise.

I'd give up a first round pick in a heartbeat if the Chiefs ever managed to win multiple Super Bowls.

You know, I was just thinking "Man, I haven't heard enough about the ****ing Patriots lately. I hope there's some new news to stir up controversy and cement them as the only god damn team you ever hear about."

The Pats are systematic cheaters, but there's not much we can do about it. Time to move on.

**notorious** · 09-08-2015, 11:14 AM

We need to remind the Pats fans that their titles are a joke.

Read the article at Espn. It shits all over everything they have accomplished.

Sweeping the room electronic bugs. LOL

They can't be trusted to not cheat and spy on you. LOL

Spygate is unproven bullshit based on inferences from teams and coaches that hate the Patriots, and disgruntled ex-employees and players.

Deflategate is unproven bullshit based on inferences from teams and coaches that hate the Patriots, and disgruntled ex-employees and players.

ESPN is, and has been, Goodell's bitch from the get-go. They're about as impartial as Baghdad Bob.

Goodell gets ****ed in court and loses his Deflategate case, releases this bullshit through ESPN to try to save face, and then goes on the radio to say he wants "the focus to be on football".

And all the uneducated Patriot-hating lapdog fans of other teams eat this shit up as if it's Gospel.

Looks like Pioli/Haley were justifiably paranoid?

Blinds/Phone taps/ etc???
