No, the NFL guy is the one who GAVE the unapproved ball to the Pats guy who then allegedly tried to 'sneak' it into the game. The NFL is pretty well fucked in all this.

ESPN blew up its own story. The conflation of this story with deflate-gate was complete speculation. The only story here is that a NFL employee was essentially stealing from charity by taking balls off the field and selling them for his own profit rather than using the ball to raise money for charity.

ESPN is a fucking joke. With this news they must be shitting themselves after labeling the Pats cheaters. Not sure if this is possible but if I were the Pats, I'd look into suing ESPN for slander after the Wells report comes out.

So basically there was a fuck up, but not the fuck up all patriots haters want to hear.

ESPN blew their original spin on this story. Which was the Patriots were involved. They even named a name and encircled him in a spotlight during reporting.

Or he accidentally handed them the wrong ball, they said “oops,” handed it back to him, and that was the end of it... except for the morons at ESPN who need new clickbait.

As a Pats fan, I hope this re-boils into another huge controversy. That way I get to laugh and laugh and laugh as all of the ESPN idiots twist their minds into fucking pretzels calling the Patriots cheaters. Oh and Ryan Clark, Ray Lewis, Brian Dawkins, Trent Dilfer, Cris Carter, Keyshawn Johnson, etc., don't forget to…

Despite what Gawker/Deadspin writes, you can like whoever you want. Gronk is 25yo and appears aware enough to know he is living the dream.

Is it ok to like Gronk? At least he has some personality and seems to enjoy what he's doing. And as far as we know, he hasn't raped/beaten/killed anyone, so that's probably good from an NFL PR standpoint.

Ugh. I hesitate to even write this down, only because there is no way to even make it funny or mock-poetic: I farted really loudly while acting in a professional production of a Shakespeare play. I was in the middle of a monologue, so everyone was watching and listening to me intently when it happened. The production…

I was walking to my car to drive home after high school. For some reason, I was barefoot. I can't recall why exactly. But as I headed to my car I stepped in a huge pile of dog shit. It was gross, but without anything to wipe off the dog shit right at that moment I thought it could wait. I got in the car and began…

Here's the thing: you've got an announcer who has the chance to call a Rob Gronkowski dodge ball video, which is far more likely to be seen by thousands of people than anything else he will ever call in his entire career. And he doesn't pay any attention, annoying us instead with the out of town scoreboard and a…

Don't tase me doe!

No, same handle there as here. I agree, Jeff is awesome.

haha, crazy aside, she's too dumb to pass any kind of nurse exam.

Sounds Australian to me. British don't usually say 'mate'.
