@taniaganguli: Confirmed the #texans have traded for Ryan Mallett. They get a 6th round pick.
More BB genius. Garappolo QB of the future.
I've been watching Mallet for years...and Belichek just owned the Texans in that trade.
I don't think Janeane Garoppolo is going to make a good QB.

A classic. One of the best at his trade. Died way too soon.
OMG, I had never seen that skit before.
The he dog assassin? LOL.

Always thought it resembled more of this:
I don't doubt you think of images like that several times per day.
Your hardon for me is amazing.
I'd be flattered if you weren't so creepy.
It wouldn't surprise me in the least to eventually learn that NFL games are rigged like pro rasslin'.

It is amazing how much of a complete stooge Goodell is. This **** makes MLB look good.
Anybody that lessens the impact of stealing signals and having a second radio transmission coaching Brady up to the last second including spotting open receivers is an idiot.
Concur, this really tarnishes the Patriots dynasty
And the one with Mickey Loomis and the Saints listening in to the opponent radio calls was quickly investigated, closed and swept away as if it never happened
I guess the NFL is too big to fail, bailout is imminent
We need TMZ to start looking into this. There one of the few media outlets that aren't intimidated by the NFL. CBS, ABC, NBC, ESPN, etc. all need to have access to the NFL for their programming. It would be interesting to eventually what Mortensen knew and why he stopped pursuing this.
Yellow Journalism is more viable than corporate Journalism? Go ****ing figure.
I wonder how this will impact Hall of Fame voting. It may have been swept under the rug now, but I think sports reporters and fans will be raising this issue again when it comes to Brady, Belichick, and others entering the Hall.
Now it's image/damage control. Basically saying "the dynasty" and the genius coach is sham just isn't going to happen. Even if there are other outlets that push the issue the PRopaganda will be in full gear. So much money based around image of the game. Goodell's entire regime just gets worse and worse as the guardians of integrity at TMZ shine a black light on it. What a ****ing POS.
Not exactly Black Sox territory but a sham nonetheless.
A real sports journalist would be able to look into this pretty quickly. If they are taping defensive signals throughout the game, once they get the information in the 1st quarter, they should progressively get better during the game, once they decode the hand signals (assuming they don't already have them). We have sabermetrics for everything in baseball, it should be pretty easy to look at this statistically.
It's sort of like steroids. Obviously, it provided an advantage or they wouldn't have gone to such links to do it.
Are you sure about that, Henry? It's sounding like the only thing keeping it out of Black Sox territory is the NFL's refusal to investigate further or release the information it already knows.

Unless they were smart enough to use it at key times so as not to kill the golden goose.
Still amazes when media spews "best ever" praise towards Belicheat and Brady.
Their championships should have an "*"
even seemingly intelligent fans buy into the genius talk.

Indeed.
There's one poster here who is likely crestfallen after pledging his undying fealty to the awesomeness of Belichick's genius on numerous occasions.

Well, when you consider that a lot of sports journalists of late come from the Boston area, it's not terribly surprising. It's very difficult to drop the hometown bias that is so deeply ingrained. If any of us suddenly got a high profile job on SportsCenter, think it'd be easy for you to not have an on-air orgasm over the fake spike?
Furthermore, Boston seems to be taking over the whole media in the past decade. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are high-profile actors, so many great modern comedians have come out of MA like Patrice Oneal (RIP), Bob Kelly, Billy Burr, etc.
I hate every bit about it.

ESPN pays money to the NFL for the right to televise games. The NFL controls what comes out of ESPN. Pretty self explanatory.
Fealty? We going all Ye Olde English here?
You can "Rub Ric" all you want. I'll stick to vertical smile....Thanks.

Too high brow ?
sorry, been studying for the geriatric spelling Bee 
So what is the big deal with this article coming out today? Isn't all of this already old news or did something new finally come out?
Opportunity knocked
The NFL is on their heels and there is an ongoing investigation for Ray Rice etc
They felt it was a good time to re-evaluate the way the NFL lied and covered this up too
making room for suh
that would not surprise me at all....after all, they put up with Hernandez and he did more than just stomp on people.....Suh would fit right in....
