Ray Farmer Suspended 4 Games for Text-Gate

[Surge]

Believing a short alcoholic with a weak arm could be an effective NFL Quarterback?

True, or attempting to develop a qb that answers the door in long johns and tells kids to get off his property...

JUST ANONTHER DAY AS A BROWNS FAN!

Rumor on Atlanta sports talk this morning was that the Browns and Falcons were both gonna lose a 2nd and 4th round pick

Fucking absurd...god I just despise the NFL

If not for the Browns I would not watch two seconds of this garbage league.

What standard equates illegal communication with deflated balls?

Please share with us these standards.

I just talked to Jigo's wife as she is used to communicating with deflated balls, and she doesnt know.

If we lost a second rounder for this, even though, as stated, no competitive advantage was gained, I'll be livid. You just know the Patriots are going to get a slap on the wrist for actually cheating in a playoff game (and probably other games before that too), meanwhile we're about to get the hammer for something that was just one guy's stupidity and didn't give us any advantage.

You just made basically the same point I made over the past page and was berated repeatedly for it.

Well, I mostly agreed with you. I won't be that pissed about a fourth rounder, but a second would be fucking ridiculous. I'm fine with the team being punished, although really I think Farmer should just be suspended without pay since we gained no competitive advantage and he was just being a dumbass.

Thanks for coming to my defense as b00bs and others accused me of "freaking out" and "strawmanning"

Well, in my defense, this is the first time I've read this topic since the last time I posted in it, which was yesterday or earlier.

How hard is it with noise gate and text gate here? Seems cut and dry what they did. Hand down the punishment and stop worrying about what Robert Kraft says when you slam him on deflate gate.

PFT had a report yesterday that they told the teams but did not announce it to everybody because they did not want the other owners/gms/coaches to have to answer questions from the media about it.

The glacial speed at which the NFL moves on this shit is astounding. They are either way busier than I give them credit for, or they spend way to much time wringing their hands over this shit.

Grossi, who we should all take with a grain of salt, said the Patriots are about to not get punished due to lack of evidence. I just don't get how having the balls you're responsible for underinflated during the game isn't evidence.
