NFL Discussion Thread: Pats win SB XLIX. Offseason begins

[IATT]

Makes sense. Thanks. *repped*

I know the 1st part to be true, so I'm just assuming about the rest.. But it's why Ereck flowers didn't sign with an agent, his nfl contract was pretty much going be dictated by where he was drafted.. No real negotiating to do

And he didn't think he had much of a chance for endorsements.. So he cut out the middle man and saved himself whatever percentage would go to the agent





He'll obviously need one for his next deal.. But smart move on his part now.. Hell, if I was him I would sign with an agent right after I signed my deal.. Because they only get commission on future deals (that's why it's always a bad sign when guys fire their agent and hire someone new)

And new agent could push for potential endorsements, especially with him in NY.. Or use their connects or other clients to build relationships

I say it's embarrassing because I feel that it's a non-story. Like I have mentioned in my previous post; I don't think the league cares either, but is feeling the pressure of the media circus. If the league truly cared about this issue, teams wouldn't be allowed to provide their own footballs. Since they do allow teams to provide their own footballs you would think that the officials would truly inspect them (checking psi and condition). Since they don't do anything more than a simple eye check, how do we know teams aren't getting footballs by inspections that don't meet the guidelines? We don't and the only reason this is being talked about is because someone in Baltimore tipped off someone in Indianapolis. Do I think these two teams had an agenda? Absolutely; this story was purposely leaked to the media in an attempt to smear New England and since we are all in here discussing it, mission accomplished.

Brady has made it apparently clear that he likes the football a certain way, so how again did he lie? Don't we hold the officials accountable for making sure the footballs submitted are league regulation? We saw from the second half of the AFC title game that the psi in the football made absolutely no difference. Maybe just maybe this is nothing more than a mental advantage for TB and really doesn't equate to any physical advantage against an opponent. Again; I would make this same argument for any QB in the league facing this media created non-story. The court of public opinion has already convicted TB and the Pats, which is evidently clear in this thread.

well according to you, if it truly is a non-story why didn't brady treat it that? instead he attempted to be sneaky about it. that in itself is self incriminating. a person who has nothing to hide would simply not deny ANY alteration. when question about his preference in psi, brady said that he does what is legal and under the laws. he didn't lament on his previous statement saying how he prefers under inflated footballs. the officials do check the balls priors to the game but not while the game is running. which is when pats equipment personnel alter the footballs after inspection.

it probably didn't have an effect on colts games but who knows how many other games were affected by under inflated footballs. we don't know that.

EDIT:
the way you put it, you make it seem like there's a witch hunt for brady but he did it to himself. instead of owning up to it, he decided to sweep it under the rug. and now this is the aftermath

[quote name="JPZx"]@AdamSchefter: Before suffering season-ending torn ACL, Dante Fowler signed an injury protection waiver that obligates Jaguars to negotiate in good faith.

Didn't even know something like that existed.

A good faith contract? How do you even... *shrugs*[/quote]

Guess we found out that Teddy is a NTer today

Yes. Because Tedy's stance that Brady had no knowledge and didn't do **** is an accurate representation of the NT consensus right now.

Is anyone sure New England didn't pull the same thing the previous week against Balitmore when it was only a 4 point game?

Don't listen to Kaep's logic.  He's not that smart.
