The only people who were having any fun at all in those emails were playing World of Warcraft, a 10 year old MMORPG.

Every year, I say the same thing; we get off so easy on these things.

Also this.

I’m a Niners fan (thank you for your condolences) and I hate most of Seattle and their fans but I will not stand by for any bashing of Lynch. He’s forever the best. If not for his amazing playing abilities and his hatred of the media than for this.

I’m happy Seattle lost the Super Bowl so that Drew has plenty of time now to include the events of today into New England’s preview

I’m a Giants fan, what the hell are you talking about? You’re a Vikings fan? You have my sympathies. If you seem to have no issues with people stealing playbook and other things how would you feel if you found out that The Giants had The Vikings playbook and hand signals prior to The 2000 NFC Title Game?

So basically you’re saying that every last one of the 90+ sources in this report lied? Or that ESPN is a sham news source that makes up its stories? Because both are HIGHLY unlikely to be true.

So Goodell wanted to get back at the Pats... by making himself look like he was in their pocket, abusing the powers of his office to protect them?

Did you read the article. In the case of The Eagles it was stating that The Pats appeared to have all the answers for a defense that The Eagles hadn’t deployed all year. I know it’s hard to read more than one paragraph but please try.

Sure sounds like Goodell caught them, and then threw them back.

Yet almost as quickly as the tapes and notes were found, they were destroyed, on Goodell’s orders: League executives stomped the tapes into pieces and shredded the papers inside a Gillette Stadium conference room.

You think the league wants it known that Goodell helped destroy evidence?

It was not legal,

Whatcha got for swiping play sheets? If they didnt want shit stolen thy shouldnt leave them lying around their own locker room? sure

Let’s nip this one in the bud: filming opposing teams’ sidelines was only legal from designated areas in the stadium, and the Patriots’ tapes were filmed from outside those areas. So argue over how big a violation it was, but it was technically illegal the whole time.

The butthurt Pats fans are out in force today! "There's nothing new in here!" "It was legal!" "ESPN are liars!"

Isn’t this common knowledge at this point? What haven’t the Patriots been accused off when it comes to cheating? Locker rooms bugged, practices taped, playbooks stolen, deflated footballs, etc. I’m just waiting for a referee to come out and say that Kraft paid him to get favorable calls.
