Setting the Record Straight about Deflate-gate

[beemerdons]

Wow this thread has legs.... and speaking of legs...

And as far as the yourteamcheats.com website... as a Raiders fan I want a recount. I think they missed some.

Where are Lyle Alzado and Al Davis when you need them!



I miss the Old Raiders: "The Criminal Element of the NFL!"! You should read "Snake" by Kenny Stabler. My favorite part of the book is when Snake, Alzado and "The Tooz" John Matuszak are driving down the Bayshore Freeway in Snake's convertible. They have three hookers in the car with them, a big bag of coke, bottles of George Dickel Sour Mash and each of them has a .357 Magnum with a box of ammo each. They drove from San Jose to Berkeley shooting at the overhead road signs! When I come back reincarnated, I want to be a John Madden era Raider!



The House That Snake Built

On the subject of hard men, you’d be hard-pressed to find a harder team than the mid-1970s Oakland Raiders. Led on offense by quarterback Ken “Snake” Stabler, and on defense by defensive end John “Tooz” Matuszak and linebacker Ted “The Mad Stork” Hendricks, the Raiders set a standard for good-humored debauchery that few have equaled and none have surpassed. Of their football skills, sports writer Jimmy Murray wrote: “The Raiders play like a guy jumping through a skylight with a machine gun.” As for their tippling abilities, read on…

What about punishing the colts who admitted they checked the pressure of a ball during the game. That is expressly prohibited by rule 2.

Just be sure that you are paying for the air that wasn't in the football.

It was announced today that Tom Brady's four game suspension was upheld by Roger Goodell after it was discovered during the investigation that Brady destroyed his cellphone with an underinflated football.

This is how vicious rumors get started Billy Fitz, word here in the Southwest is that he smashed his cellphone with a day old Ontario Butter Tart!

You know how to tell if a Canadian is lying to you don't you, their lips will be moving! JSNS, Hosers!

Destroyed his phone? WTF was Brady thinking?

And why wait until the appeal to voluntarily reveal he did it? Did he want to have Goodell uphold the 4 game suspension? (I'm starting to think that may be true)

He must have had some awesome pictures of Giselle on there that he didn't want the 80's **** star mustache wearing Wells character or Ginger looking at, 'cause busting up the phone certainly doesn't make him look any better in any of this.

Well, it looks like this whole thing is going to court. Get the popcorn ready.

When **** Butkus of the Chicago Bears was asked this Question, he said Yes! DB, are you the dirtiest, meanest and nastiest player in the NFL? DB said: Hell, Yes!

 

[Uncle Hud]

HOLY ****. Really? Will this thread ever die? Don't y'all have better things to do than worry about a multi-millionaire and his multi-millionaire boss and their multi-millionaire commissioner and their multi-billion dollar TV contract?

Tempest in a teapot, brothers and sisters.

BTW beemerdons, I vote toughest guy in the NFL was Ray Nitschke. From Wikipedia: Once, the bleachers on the Packers practice field collapsed on top of Nitschke. Lombardi ran over to see what had happened, but when told it had fallen on Nitschke, said, "He'll be fine. Get back to work!"

Uncle Hud, you'll get NO argument from me on Nitschke! Regarding TB: If he told the truth from Day One, this whole thing would've blown over! JSNS!

There'd be a bunch of penalties called in that first Butkus video if those games were being played in today's NFL (Nancy Football League) rule book. It's a far kinder and gentler brand of football these days. 'Cause, you know, we wouldn't want any of the modern day gladiators getting hurt now, would we?

Good news, Don! And sorry I didn't see your post earlier, too. Wouldn't have bid against you. Anyhow, I got the ball! Won't try to make you feel guilty for taking advantage of me, so I'm keeping my winning bid secret. But since I know now that you wanted it, just Paypal me that opening $25K and I'll send you the ball. Still got the original air in it too. Honest.

Enjoy it, buddy.

p.s., I'll even throw in another icon of sports history. The little-know deflated puck from the Championship game for the 1993 Stanley Cup, the last time the Canadiens won it!

 

[Fred W]

Hah! That ball went for $42k. Even Stanley's not dumb enough to pay 42 large for a freaking $25 football. (although maybe if it had a BMW emblem on it...

)

But, if my best buddy DonS really wants one, I'll send him a fully certified "deflategate" Patriots football for his mantlepiece for just $10k.

I'll even go and get "The Deflator" to autograph it for him. (The Deflator doesn't live very far from me) And then I'll measure the football's pressure with as many inaccurate gauges as he wants me to, you know... just to be sure.

...Even Stanley's not dumb enough to pay 42 large for a freaking $25 football. (although maybe if it had a BMW emblem on it...

He'd just fall off of it and hurt hizzelf so'more.

I'm selling the air out of one of the deflated footballs, guaranteed to be less than 12.5 psi when it arrives at your house. Opening bid is just $16,890. I'll even include overnight shipping in a UPS certified box for FREE. To make the deal even better, I'll even throw in a free air pressure gauge that's guaranteed to be uncalibrated so you can show off your new purchase to your friends. BUT WAIT -- there's more..... I'll even throw in a 10 lb block of ice so you can prove that air pressure does not go down when chilled and you can use your FREE air pressure gauge to amaze your family and friends! Act now! There is limited supply of game ball air and it will go fast at this price.
