What value comes from him showing up? Other than a public execution in Tom Terrific stadium that some want to see...

And if the NFL does actually appeal the ruing, not showing up might be the right call.

Many may not be able to get beyond the desire for a public execution (perhaps a roast), but he, like the rest of the world, knows he was right right, so why would he show up unless he has the green light to call them all liars?

You seem to be forgetting that we all know they did it, but with our court system they're getting away with it.

Again, perhaps it's best that he let all the Pats take their victory lap, beat the shit out of the Steelers "because they have a chip on their shoulder", and try to move on.

And like he learned from Tom Terrific, he doesn't have to do shit because it's the right thing to do, or explain shit. Like the rest of the world, he doesn't owe the Pats, or their ****ing fans, a Goddamn thing! If the pussy-ass Pats want him there, take him to court!

That might be why he's not showing up, if he spoke all those truths (and they are spot-on, and should be said frequently to all Pats people), the Pats and their fans would cry and I'm sure it would end up in pussy court again.

As it is now I'm sure Kraft is crying to anybody who will listen that Goodell not showing-up is essentially bullying, and/or a sign that the league has it out for them.

LMAO Loving the butt hurt.

Because you have a brain and arent emotionally wrapped up in it.

No shit, Goodell misses one game and Pats fans freak-out... Wow!! Then crying about some meaningless $1M fine and two draft picks that prolly wouldn't amount to shit, the Pats and Pats fans are funny...

Uh... if we had to give up a 1st and 4th rounder, I think we would all be up in arms.

It stinks like sex in here.

After a season that we cheated and it probably helped us win the SB in? I doubt it.

Hell I'd be giddy to give up $1M and a 1st/4th for a playoff win! For a SB appearance I'd go $2M and a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd! For a SB win?!?!?!?!?!? $3M and a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th!!

He's the ****ING COMMISSIONER of the NFL. It's a Thursday night game. First game of the season. Prime Time on CBS.

Are you kidding me?

That means he's emotionally invested (obviously) which is BULLSHIT.

He's supposed to be neutral but he's anything but.

Bullshit

More bullshit

:rolleyes:

I hope they deflate balls again just as a FU to Goddell (and to the whiners in this thread).

Your whole post was Bullshit BTW - all you want to see is a Goodell roast. I think it's incumbent upon you to produce documentation that shows the NFL comminsioner must appear at all prime time games. And what does CBS have to do with it?

The bottom line is you're just mad at Goodell, just like the rest of us, but you're an idiot if you think he's got to show up for some public roasting in enemy territory after the enemy just won based on "the rule of law."

On the flip side, I'm sure if he did show up, and got interviewed, AND was honest, you'd be pissed because in that honesty he'd call Kraft, BB, Tom, and most Pats fans bleeding cheating pussies. Which is 100% accurate.

So perhaps it's best he let Whoreville do their thing and attend a game where at least one team isn't known to be cheaters. At least until the NFL rids the league of him and the next commissioner comes in and has to play the "try to keep the Pats from cheating" too. It's not like it's going away just because the NFL gets a new commissioner, it's just the way the Pats are, so expect more of the same after Goodell leaves.

Just one comment--

If you go by the gauge that the ref himself said it was his "best memory" that he used pre-game, then the science shows absolutely no ball deflation.

You get that right?

Believe the ref was right, and the SCIENCE disproves deflation.


And if the SCIENCE says there was no deflation, who the **** cares what a couple of morons say in texts? If there is no dead body, then there is no murder.


Eh, whatever. Brady won. It's over for a year. Time to move on and hope the Patriots hang FIRE on the NFL just like 2007, except with a win at the end to cement the FU.

He wasn't complaining when kraft was smugly praising Goodell when he over reached on punishing the Saints.

:thumb:

Absolutely, just to see the goodell apologist cry even more.

This isn't rocket science. Ball boy takes footballs into a bathroom, balls end up deflated, brady has spike in conversations with equipment managers, brady destroys phone. I don't care about deflated footballs. But don't feed us the bullshit that an amazing amount of coincidences lead to reasonable doubt that there wasn't obvious cheating.

Goodell should have treated this with a slap on the hand or a warning. He over reached. But that doesn't excuse the actual act of cheating or the outright lying and noncompliance.
