So dumb. The team has gotten progressively better each year under Pagano. Their performance against the Patriots does not put his job in jeopardy in any way. And don't say "I didn't say his job was in jeopardy."

I think that if the Patriots aren't dealt a harsh punishment, then it's obviously a result of Kraft's relationship with Goodell. After all, didn't he suspend Peterson for the entire season on account of switching balls?

The happiest team about all of this nonsense? The Colts. No one's talking about how badly they shit the bed Sunday night, or how timidly and poorly Pagano coached them.

Explains a lot.

To help prevent Rodgers from getting caught, Mike McCarthy takes the air out of the ball at the end of the game.

I certainly understand. Sometimes things have an emotional value that far outstrips any monetary value it may have.

Anybody else wondering how he had a ticket for the game?

presumably to avoid traumatizing real babies from the terror of being in the same room as director Clint Eastwood.

He fucked up.
But he wasn't the defense that played lights out for 3 quarters then completely shit the bed in 6 minutes giving away 3 TDs, 2 in 44 seconds.

i mean...only half of the movie is Japanese influenced....why on earth would there be japanese imagery?

First league investigation of improperly deflated balls that didn't involve PED use.

I can't imagine how a 20-year-old who lost a brother 3 months ago and has been living 6000 miles away from his family is having a rough year.

Why the hate. People forget he got Jake Delhomme to a superbowl (and almost beat NE). That is not something that is easy. Yes he "coached" manning, but fox is a defensive minded coach, and the broncos had a decent defense the last couple years, and Carolina had decent D's under him too. Be mad at Gase for riding…

I'm not super excited about him either but I don't know who out there would have been a better choice. Could go with a coordinator from a good team but those guys are usually a roll of the dice. This team is in rebuild mode anyway.

Well, of course not, you need to trade 3 wheat and 2 wool for that, silly.

Like how you sneaked that hot take in there.

For the same reason why Jean-Marc Vallee's Dallas Buyers Club, Spike Jonze's Her, Paul Greengrass' Captain Phillips, Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty, Tom Hooper's Les Miserables, Quentin Tarantio's Django Unchained, Steven Spielberg's War Horse, Tate Taylor's The Help and Stephen Daldry's Extremely Loud and…

""Yes, he says this. He calls a someone's teen kid a 'bitch.'"

Given the rule, you can argue that he didn't "complete the process", but it is absolutely an awful rule, and if it happened to anyone other than the Cowboys, the opinion on the rule's awfulness would be near unanimous.
