I know us Pats fans are tired of this whole Deflategate mess and want it to go away and the season to start, but even I’m surprised at how big of a scandal this seems to be on the verge of becoming. Also, I’m worried about the long term impact and damage that this could do to the NFL and the fans of any team. It seems like a huge PR mess that the league doesn’t want or need after their problems last year. Is it too early to consider the long term impact of this for ALL fans and teams?

There’s no question this has gotten so far beyond the scope than anyone ever imagined, even when the original Wells Report came out. But what is clear is the current NFL administration is what is bad for the NFL. 

We were told that this was all about Tom Brady not being truthful when the punishment was handed down. But I’m still waiting for one piece of hard proof that Brady lied at all.

The NFL on the other hand has now been caught in a web of lies and it’s supposed to be their job to maintain the integrity of the league, not take a sledge hammer to it.

Forget it was our team and quarterback that this happened to. In what universe is it okay for the NFL to ignore facts, to let one of their clubs be unnecessarily destroyed in the media and the lie and cover up the truth just to maintain their original premise that the Patriots cheated.

Should we really be surprised after what we’ve seen from Roger Goodell and his cronies who seem far more invested in themselves than the integrity of the game.

Here’s the thing – Goodell and his team of lawyers and other monkeys are completely replaceable. The NFL and their fans don’t need them, and as they get caught in each new lie it only reinforces that they need to go.

You never thought a situation could be handled worse than the recent controversies they’ve had – Bountygate, Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson – but somehow they’ve managed to blow all those out of the water with this one.

The sooner they’re gone, the sooner the NFL can start re-establishing trust with their owners, players and fans. But there’s no going back now.

20 Bing-Bang Bold Thoughts After Week 1 of Patriots Training Camp

by

  1. Tre Jackson is the young guard we’ve needed since Stephen Neal retired.
  2. If Shaq Mason can learn to pass block, the Pats O-Line is set for a while.
  3. The door is wide open for Jonas Gray, would love to see him run well against the Packers.
  4. I really hope this “minor” hamstring issue that caused Dobson to miss Thursday practice really is minor.
  5. Fine with Edelman missing a few practices on the other hand. The more wear and tear we can save on him the better.
  6. Defenses better choose their personnel to match up against Gronk and Chandler wisely, especially inside the 20.
  7. Tavon Wilson vs. Jordan Richards might be the best head-to-head training camp battle we’ve had. Wonder how the trickle down effect will affect Chung and Ebner.
  8. Brandon Gibson and Josh Boyce could be seeing a small ray of light for a chance of making the roster.
  9. If I was at camp I’d be most curious where Flowers and Grissom are lining up and being utilized. They’ll play a ton in preseason.
  10. With Chris White and Dane Fletcher out, there’s an open roster spot or two for a linebacker. Curious how James Morris and Eric Martin look in live action.
  11. Getting the feeling Bradley Fletcher will be in the fight of his life to beat out Jimmy Jean and/or Darrelle Roberts for a roster spot.
  12. Logan Ryan’s best spot might be in the slot, but I can see him and McClain both seeing time there.
  13. Pray Tarrell Brown keeps up his solid early pace. One of those vets had to emerge.
  14. Positive rumblings about Easley’s burst being back. If it really is, look out NFL.
  15. Have to wonder how long Alan Branch has to get on the field. They certainly need his veteran presence, but he won’t have forever.
  16. The potential of the defensive front seven is so intriguing. Add in the linebackers and it will be so hard to prepare for everything they can do.
  17. Malcom Brown’s going to see a lot of snaps this year. He and Siliga side-by-side is an intriguing run-stopping front that will be needed especially against the Bills and Eagles.
  18. Vollmer will still start at RT to start the season. Despite trade speculation I think he sticks. Hard to trade someone still in recovery somewhat.
  19. Zach Moore is the wild card of the defense, no clue how he’ll be used but I think he’s going to make some unexpected noise.
  20. Brady won’t miss a game.

In other words – deep breath here – Goodell deliberately mischaracterized conversations held behind closed doors to uphold his own over-the-top suspension based on a vague conclusion drawn by a league-compensated and hardly independent investigator that “it was more probable than not” that Brady was “generally aware” that a fineable misdemeanor that had no impact on anything might have occurred.

Or maybe it was just science. Damned if we know. Four games, son. Didn’t want to do it. Felt I owed it to you.

Tom Brady seems to know everyone, but he never knew the real Roger Goodell at all – Patriots – Boston.com

Tweets of Note from Thursday Patriots Training Camp Practice

by

The Pats were back at it on Thursday and the injuries are starting to pile up a bit, especially at the receiver position where Josh Boyce is now the top X receiver with LaFell and Dobson (minor hamstring) sitting out. As long as they’re not major, which even Tyms’ shoulder injury isn’t (per Jeff Howe), injuries can be a blessing because it forces other guys down the depth chart to get quality reps.

Here are the tweets of note from today’s practice…
