The Difference

[Bilgerat]

Yesterday it was reported and confirmed that Ryan Tannehill has been creating a lot of tension with the Miami Dolphin practice squad players because when they intercepted him, he would belittle them and mock them for how little they make. A sad pathetic thing to do for a franchise player.

Today it was reported by former New England Patriots Donte Stallworth that Brady would actually pay them if they picked him off in practice. Something that motivated both sides and made everyone better.

This is the definition of why the Patriots are the classiest team in the NFL. Stuff like what Tannehill pulled would NEVER, EVER, happen in New England and further shows why the Miami Dolphins are a dysfunctional franchise and always will… Especially when the coach (now former coach) gave in and told the practice squad guys to take it easy on Tannehill… Tannehill should be embarrassed to cash his check each week and call himself a franchise player, the kid doesn’t have it…

The Patriots: World Class

Tom Brady is just class. He was a class guy when he was at Michigan dealing with the whole Drew Henson thing and he's class now. It's not an accident the Patriots are the team they are.

AND.... Tom Brady is cute.

You so funny...this is good....

AND.... Tom Brady is cute.

Yes he is indeed.

The Dolphins showed their true colors by giving big money to Ndamukong Suh, the most disruptive malcontent in the NFL. The Dolphins are already getting what they paid for.

And Tom Brady cheats!

I miss the old days of the NFL when everyone was roided up and Lester Hayes was dunking his hands in vats of Stickum on the sidelines and then going out and intercepting the ball with one fingertip. Now they're worried about 1 psi difference in pressure in the ball. That's lame.

...and we're worried about lying shit-bags hurting the little guy while keeping his money. He cheated - he actively took steps to break the rules. This isn't like an in-game penalty. This is worse and Tom sucks for cheating. Not quite to the level of A-Rod....but still.

Don't buy the Goodell hype. No one proved Brady did anything wrong. This was a witch hunt, the rule on this says that a team caught doing it pays a $25,000 fine. That's all, going after Brady wasn't justified in any way.

Lemme get this straight....

The QB was unware - even though the spoke with the guy doing it - someone was violating the rules based on the QB's preference. THEN...THEN...the guys who "did nothing wrong" were fired?

C'mon man.

I don't put allegation and conjecture on the same level as fact. The rule is clear on this, this is not an individual thing, the team pays the fine, going after an individual player for this was a huge overreach by Goodell. It's funny to me how many people will tolerate a rogue commissioner as long as he is targeting a player they don't like.

obvious to me your fan-ship of Tom blinds your critical thinking.

Name another player gone after by the commissioner for deflating footballs and then we can revisit our critical thinking

Name another player caught cheating and essentially let off scott-free?

(shrug)

Tom cheated. Probably a lot. He knows it. You know it deep down inside past your fandom.
