I don't think most Patriots fans are THAT shocked that Revis chose one last big payday over the chance to win in New England. Perhaps no player in the modern era has extracted more from his free agent opportunities than Revis, he is a true football mercenary. New England sports talk radio will do the chicken little…

One positive to leasing and repeating the cycle that wasn't touched on is never worrying about basic maintenance and repairs. The first 2-3 years of the vehicle's life are definitely the best years, and if you lease vehicles you are always driving something new. With a modestly short lease term you should never have…

I think there is some hesitation using Crafton due to his lack of experience in a Cup car. For those saying he did fine this weekend, yes he did, but that was plate racing which is a completely different animal. The skills involved in plate racing (side drafting, bump drafting, choosing lines) translate from one…

You hit this on the head. This whole "deflategate" farce has been a prime example of bad journalism from the beginning. All the information in the case, starting with Chris Mortenson's report, has been dubious at best and it seems clear there is a ton of speculative and incomplete information leaking from the league…

Stop the presses! Where is Chris Mortenson with erroneous reports about the decibel levels of the artificial crowd noise? We need to get Mark Brunell and Jerome Bettis on air to cry and provide us with some histrionics at the lack of integrity shown by Atlanta and their tarnished legacy. Where's the outrage and…

It's fine to have the opinion that Brady isn't the best of all-time, but at this point the numbers certainly don't back you up on that. Really every quantifiable measure of success points to Brady as the greatest and the only case you can make to the contrary is that to your eye Montana or Unitas was a better player.…

Agreed, their livery was really plain last year and at times difficult to distinguish in the pack. I keep reading stories about Ron Dennis not wanting to sign a sponsorship deal for less than what he deems is worthy of McLaren so as not to devalue the brand but I wonder how many seasons you go without a primary…

I don't judge the quality of racing by the number of passes, but it's nice to have an opportunity to overtake. I don't know what to tell anyone who didn't like the racing in NASCAR last season, it was easily one of the most exciting seasons in the sport's history. In fact I applaud NASCAR's decision to change the…

All good points, I enjoy racing history as well, and there was a lot to love about the golden age of stock car racing. I think one of the main reasons that we'll never use modified actual production vehicles again is safety. The COT and Gen 6 are designed with safety in mind for better or worse and have been very…

It has always bothered me that people who know next to nothing about NASCAR see fit to bash it as a boring hillbilly jamboree that is only watched by uneducated, southern conservatives. Unfunny pretentious douches like Keith Olbermann (who doesn't know his ass from his elbow when it comes to motorsports) love to go…

Innovation and technology isn't really the point of NASCAR, or stock car racing in general. If that's what you look for in racing, F1 is your series of choice. In Formula 1, millions and millions are poured into technical innovation trying to build the fastest machine possible under the rules formula, and the team…

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have…

Except we don't know any of that information. You're basing this on Chris Mortenson's report from a leak that has since been refuted? Or Mike Florio's conflicting report, also hearsay and from a leak? The bottom line here is people have treated rumor and conjecture as fact from the beginning and have used it as fodder…

There's a lot of certitude and judgement in this comment section that the Patriots are guilty and I'm wondering what that is based on? Circumstancial and vague leaked reports from ESPN that have been refuted by other media outlets? The way this case has been handled by the NFL and the media is a total farce. To my…

What a farce. It would be nice for more opponents to accept they got waxed by the Patriots instead of making a sour grapes run through the minutiae of the rulebook to find some issue. Bottom line: if this was any other team (say the Packers over-inflating balls for Rodgers?) it would be a non-story. Props to Dwayne…

From covering the sport a bit over the past couple years and spending some time around the garage area I have gotten the impression from quite a few people that she is first and foremost an attention seeker and this business of making sensational claims is nothing new for her. I'm sure many in the close-knit NASCAR…

It is inarguably a shitty system when the only viable path toward improvement for many teams is years of sucking and providing your fans with an awful product in the interest of obtaining a chance to draft a savior. And while top NBA draft picks have historically been valuable commodities much more often than busts…
