NFL Discussion Thread: Pats win SB XLIX. Offseason begins

[illoquent aka dsk]

Following up on @Elpablo21's last post...

@jeffphowe
On ineligible receivers, Vinovich: "I made announcement: Do not cover 34." Blandino: "Which we won't do (in SB)." Vinovich: "We won't?"

@jeffphowe
Last tweet, wow.

@jeffphowe
Blandino said Pete Carroll misunderstood the message about a new ineligible received signal. It was used in the AFCCG.

@jeffphowe
Blandino said the referee does not log the PSI during the pregame ball check. They're either approved or disapproved.

@jeffphowe
So the investigation is simply taking the word of Walt Anderson that all balls were properly checked in pregame. No other way to do it.

@jeffphowe
Blandino said the Colts balls were checked at halftime, too. But again, the PSI is only approved or disapproved.

@jeffphowe
What a disaster that was for the NFL.

@jeffphowe
Biggest takeaway: How can the NFL say X-amount of balls were 1-2 PSI below the limit if they don't log the PSI upon measurement?

@jeffphowe
Blandino: "Walt gauged the footballs himself. It’s something he has done throughout his career."

WUT.

@MMehtaNYDN
Dean Blandino says NFL "will review with (football co.) Wilson & the Competition Committee" the acceptable inflation range of footballs

WUT.
 

@RapSheet
Ref Bill Vinovich said they did a test in their office and unless you squeeze the ball, he couldn’t tell the difference between 12 & 13 PSI

@RapSheet

There will definitely be a move this offseason for clarity for the rule book. Expect it to be streamlined and made easier to understand

aka "Hey, we're trying to cover our *** here. Gives us a break."

Yikes. Someone said this was so bad the NFL Network ain't 'eem show it.

I'm just gonna skip past the deflating nonsense because it's kind of obvious at this point, right? But there's a real chance Belichick could troll the hell out of the Superbowl and turn it into a legit cluster **** since they CLEARLY don't know what to do right now and aren't on the same page. No wonder the league hates his ***.

Fools are really lucky they're involved in a business that prints money no matter what they or anyone does. I'd hate to see these reactionary *** dudes handle **** that actually matters.

Clarity & streamlined rule book in the offseason though!

The sheer incompetence exhibited by the NFL all throughout this season has been no short of stunning and absolutely hilarious

The ESPN article about Lynch doesn't even mention the part where he said "Shout out my real Africans."

Like I said a the day this went down...This is all bs and only a story drummed up to give the media and people something to talk about for the week without football. Much ado about nothing. Absolute crap. This was never an issue that should have been blown up like it had.

I don't know what this means.

Is he paying homage to his african ancestors? Is it all black people or just black folk that keep it real? Serious question.

 

[drones]

I don't know what this means.

 

Of course you don't know what it means, he wasn't speaking to you.  He's shouting out his people publicly which seems to have people in the dominant society shook.

Health officials in Arizona are currently tracking 1,000 people, including 195 children, who may have been exposed to the measles coming out of Disneyland. The state has confirmed seven cases so far. Three counties near Phoenix—where the Super Bowl will be held on Sunday—have asked un-vaccinated residents who may have been exposed to stay home for 21 days. One of the confirmed cases involves a woman who walked into a pediatric clinic, potentially exposing around 200 people. “This is a critical point in tthis outbreak,” Arizona’s health director, Will Humble, wrote on his blog, warning that any missed cases could case “a long and protracted outbreak.”

^Yep.

Stupid. Nevermind. This place won't give me the intelligent answer I'm looking for.

Tell ya what, I can watch Katy Perry interviews all day long. Girl is serious.

******* for days

it's always bothered me that there's a certain slave owner mentality on behalf of the mostly white members of the media (& ownership obviously) who demand that the mostly black players have to be a certain way or cater to them as if they owe their success to them. it's really the other way around. these geeks who never played competitive football are the ones who have jobs because of these athletes

these so called sport journalists actually believe that they're responsible for a player's popularity  & riches and therefore have to bow down to them when it's time to ask them the most basic, uninspired or cliche questions. they're the ones who are quick to profit off someone's success then do what they can to cut them back down in order to get their articles noticed

if you ain't cooperating you're just a stupid thug or something

So what examples of white players do you have that would help this argument?

i'm not sure what you're asking here

Katy Perry says nothing in her performance will be deflated and then mentions she'll ask Gronk to open on her next tour. FYI

@TheRealCaillou  4 hours ago
@MarkDanielsPJ open what, exactly?

Young Gronk Lesnar.

100%

These selfish guys can't get over that they aren't nessesary anymore. Not with social media.If Im an athlete... I can go online and write an essay about whatever I want. Don't need the media to give my perspective.

Look right to me. *shrugs*

Bart Hubbuch was and continues to be a ******* loser. He just exposed his stupidity on a wider scale with those tweets.

I'll say it again...if the Seahawks win, I NEED Marshawn as MVP. I'll gladly forget about the L for a few minutes and watch the post-game show just for that. Roger & his boys will probably pull out all the stops to make sure he doesn't get it though. 

Son could rush for 300 yards and 4 TD's and they'll give it to Okung from the o-line.
