Except that the memo incorrectly quotes the leagues on bylaws, which define the field as inside the paint, not the sidelines.

This is wrong, the league memo incorrectly quoted the bylaws (and the bylaws can’t be changed by a memo, need to be voted on) and Anderson’s memo incorrectly quotes them.

Wrong, per the NFL bylaws, the field is inside the paint, not the sidelines, the memo they sent out incorrectly quoted said bylaws.

Nice, buying into the drudge report boogeyman story hit piece that, despite “interviewing 90 people” cites almost no one specifically, that, oh yeah, COINCIDENTALLY comes out right as Goodell is admitting he might be willing to step back from discipline matters.

Such a strange timing coincidence.

All independent science has shown no illicit deflation occurred, so literally none of that other stuff matters

How? Science has shown that do deflation occurred, so how did the team cheat, exactly?

incorrect, the independent scientific analysis performed by HeadSmart labs, Princeton, AEI, et al. all shows no illicit deflation occurred, literally nothing else matters past that.

Actually he did not, as there is literally 0 evidence of any illicit deflation, whatsoever. Even the wells report had to admit that, and that was after intentionally mucking up the statistical analysis to try and show there was illicit deflation (which has been disproved now by multiple, independent scientific studies)

Oh? So all that science stuff showing that the balls were deflated naturally must just be witchcraft and black magic, right?

‘ even though everyone knows Brady probably did something’

Dawg, every independent scientific analysis has shown they did not.

“Goodell and his minions got all the power they wanted, and all it’s resulted in is a player who almost definitely did what he was accused of sticking his middle finger in Goodell’s face and getting off scot-free.”

No. No, he did not. Almost every single independent scientific analysis has concluded that there was NO…

As has been mentioned, they did it because the league asked them too, and the league said they cannot be reinstated without their permission. Remember, this is when Kraft thought cooperation with the league would lead to allegiance for Brady. Sorry to ‘give it to you,’ but the truth doesn’t care what you want.

You must mean the Redskins

just because you don’t like a civil right doesn’t make it go away. Not only has gun crime gone down over the last few years, but that has happened while gun ownership has gone up and gun laws have (mostly) become less stringent.

I still dont understand what, exactly was wrong with the meme. Sensationalist to be sure, but it basically said a relatively small amount of extremist can cause enormous problems to a mainstream culture/population if left unchecked. Who the hell is angry about comparing ISIL and Al Qaeda to Nazis?

As if to prove it, they apparently deleted my original post. i feel like, in Florio’s defense, highs strung sort of comes with the job of following sports as if they’re a serious manner.

I see the ProFootballTalk jealousy is strong from Deadspin today.

Stop pretending Bernie Sanders isn’t just the next Howard Dean then.

Well, every independent science outlet has said that the Pats’s balls inflation levels are right where they should have been, so that means no improper deflation occurred. Once no improper deflation occurs, literally nothing else matters.
