One of my favorite players in the league for sure. Won't ever be a Patriot, which would be a shame. Remember that Revis once called BB a jerk.DeJesus Built My Hotrod said:
Yeah. But in a thread about the counterproductivity of uncertainly sourced information concerning premature opinions of as yet undiscovered facts, people still need their beast to be fed.CaptainLaddie said:
So Sherman doesn't think the Patriots will be punished because the league office is too worried about Lynch's ball grabbing?
Is that an attempt at "we're more unjustly persecuted than you!!?!?"

Sherman is the most Belichickian of all NFL players and it's really not close.rodderick said:

Ehh...he's a huge self-promoter and media hound which is the antithesis of Belichick.

The NY Daily News cover is better today. It is a picture of BB calling him "The Nutty Professor". Tried to post it but it won't let me.
Tom E.Curran reported earlier that "multiple sources" confirm Kensil is the lead guy on the investigation:

Parsing the article, it does not come out and state that a sting was in progress (and sort of implies otherwise), although Kensil was at the game in Foxboro.

But he's presumeably alright with his owner's company shelling out $400 million to be an official league sponsor?E5 Yaz said:

the premise that there can be a 'conflict of interest', in the procedural sense, between the commissioner and an owner is kinda batshit. He's their employee.
Think again about Belichick's comment about there being other things the league needed to investigate.riboflav said:
He probably won't read it but I sent this message to Bill Nye. The quote I used was listed as his favorite quote.
So disappointed in you, you are supposed to be helping America get smarter, not mislead them. I know you are a Seahawks fan but I would expect you to be a voice of reason and science in this country first. You are being used across the TV and internet to "disprove" the ideal gas law. Hope you are proud. Can't believe you would risk your credibility over something like this. -Family of ex-Bill Nye fans
PS. let me leave you with a quote, I think you've heard it before - "One test is worth a thousand expert opinions." Tex Johnston, Boeing 707 test pilot

Not sure BB meant that as ominously as you are taking it. He may have just meant ask around the league and you'll find many people are aware that the ball is under 12.5 PSI in many games {without any tampering}.
What he said was this: "I think there are a number of things that need to be looked into on a number of levels, but thats not for this conversation. Im sure it will be taken up at another point in time."Harry Hooper said:
I don't see how you could read that as a plea from BB to check how often the ball is under 12.5. The ball is under 12.5 on a regular basis in the winter because science. There aren't many different levels there, just physics.
The levels he is referring to are: who kicked off this investigation, why was it started, why was it handled incompetently, was there malice involved, who leaked misinformation, etc.

Aren't you both talking about the same thing then: what pressure was applied?

When you've got a 62 year old retired dentist (Walt Anderson) running the sting you know shit's going to be done right.

"Guys I'd love to talk about that but the union told the players not to comment."
Thanks for sharing these insights, TS, and keep them coming.TheoShmeo said:
But am I to take from this that the commissioner weighs (or perhaps even solicits) feedback from owners when determining sanctions?
Understand that at the end of the day they pay his $44M, but seems very odd that league investigations and discipline would factor in how Owners X & Y think Owner Z should be punished (unless there is a specific advisory committee for that purpose).
Goodell has his own issues and biases, but generally speaking, seems that independence in this regard would be a key element of a commissioner's job description.
What am I missing? Why does he have to herd cats to come to a decision (once guilt is established)?
Or is it simply that after screwing up the Rice process so completely, he's in a weak position and needs to ensure he has sufficient support to keep his job?
Edit: damn autocorrect
Classic Berman. Misses his cue, fumbles through a dated 80's reference and doesn't even intro the actual halftime act. So bad.
