Pass.The.Buck Wait a minute. He said he was unaware of what was going on. Well, what WAS going on, Bill? You just said something was going on. You didn't say you were unaware that the balls were a under inflated somehow. You just said that something was going on and that you were unaware of it. He didn't say unaware of the situation or unaware the balls were out of compliance. Was that a slip? Ummm No. I'm sure he meant he didn't realize there was a controversy till Monday morning. You're reaching quite a bit and there is no reason to. They have the evidence that the balls were tampered with so if they can't figure out who did it they should just punish the whole organization and the HC since he's ultimately responsible for the entire teams behavior. What I could see happening now is Brady falling on the sword for the entire organization. Basically Goodell would tell Kraft to have Brady take responsibility and they will only fine Brady $25,000, that is the maximum allowed penalty for this. If the organization takes the fall the penalty could be worse b/c they are repeat offenders, Brady isn't. So I think Brady takes the fall later on in his press conference and this gets swept under the rug.

I love him acting like "ask anyone! I make sure we have slippery and hard balls (lol) in practice to make it as hard as possible on the players."
Ummmm... right. But then you wouldn't use those in games! It's like warming up with a heavy bat in baseball. You don't take the fucking donut weight to the batters box.
Also, "if we inflate the balls to 12.5 psi...well then any deflation at all would take us under. From now on we will make sure the balls are 13 so that.. if they deflate naturally.. they won't be under the specification."
How stupid does he think we are!? There were 11/12 balls 2 lbs under inflated! Hahahaha. Natural deflation never has been the issue. What an arrogant prick.

Wow. Did anyone see the Q&A portion? He just went Marshawn Lynch and repeatedly stated "I have no explanation for what happened."
Someone asked him if he's talked to Brady about what might have happened. (Which OBVIOUSLY he has.) And he said "i have no explanation for what happened."
Ok.. Maybe in some other realm I could believe that you didn't know anything about it (but I don't) but you haven't talked to Brady in the days since the news broke!? Bullllllshit.

what a fucking douchebag. he has near dictatorial control of that organization. how the fuck could he now know what was going on? Whether he know or not is irrelevant. As the head coach, he is responsible for what happens on the field. Ignorance is not an excuse. That said, I do find it hard to believe that he knows nothing of the process. Sean Payton not knowing about bountygate didn't get him a pass

What an alarming lack of organizational control!

I loosen up swinging two golf clubs but only use one when I get to the first tee

There's a decent chance that Belichoke actually did not know this was going on. If that's the case then there is only one other possibility for who orchestrated this....

@profootballtalk 15m15 minutes ago League source with knowledge of Belidick/Brady relationship calls Belidick shifting focus to Brady "shocking."

Pass.The.Buck Wait a minute. He said he was unaware of what was going on. Well, what WAS going on, Bill? You just said something was going on. You didn't say you were unaware that the balls were a under inflated somehow. You just said that something was going on and that you were unaware of it. He didn't say unaware of the situation or unaware the balls were out of compliance. Was that a slip? Ummm No. I'm sure he meant he didn't realize there was a controversy till Monday morning. You're reaching quite a bit and there is no reason to. They have the evidence that the balls were tampered with so if they can't figure out who did it they should just punish the whole organization and the HC since he's ultimately responsible for the entire teams behavior. What I could see happening now is SparklePony falling on the sword for the entire organization. Basically Goodell would tell Kraft to have SparklePony take responsibility and they will only fine SparklePony $25,000, that is the maximum allowed penalty for this. If the organization takes the fall the penalty could be worse b/c they are repeat offenders, SparklePony isn't. So I think SparklePony takes the fall later on in his press conference and this gets swept under the rug. I'm not sure what he meant by that statement, but either way I think the 2nd part of what you're saying here is spot on. If Belidick takes the fall here it's going to be disastrous for the Patriots... if Brady takes the fall he's a "first time offender."
