Stop, Wibi might think you're serious.

Its okay if you feel the need to lash out over an emotional comment I made in the run up to Superbowl XLIX. I know you are hurting right now ...
DrewDawg said:
I'm not hurting. It was a light-hearted and made in jest.
I guarantee I feel less "emotional" right now than you did both during the run up to and after the Super Bowl.

The shit ton of posts you have made about this whole deflategate thing tells me otherwise

LOVE this idea.mulluysavage said:Proceed with a banner ceremony, as per normal at Gilette, and unveil a "12" banner instead.

Are you questioning the validity of my word, sir?Kenny F'ing Powers said:
Don't joke, because I'll get this ball rolling.

Eh, the intro & first verse would work just fine.Marciano490 said:Which verse should they use? The anti-Semitic one, the homophobic ones, the ones about rape, or the transphobic ones?

Uh, you do get that this was a joke, right?
I've known the guy who designed this for about 20 years, he even designed custom beer labels for a beer i brewed before my wedding. He's got a lot of cool pieces but i am thinking this one won't have much of a shelf-life once the league sees it.SeoulSoxFan said:
You don't think those fans will understand? They also bought tickets with an expectation of seeing their HOF quarterback leading the team. Sometimes things don't go as planned.WayneHousieHOF said:Apologies if this addressed elsewhere, but didn't the Pats jack up prices for the opener with the expectation/anticipation there would be a grand ol ceremony? Might be tough to pull the plug on those festivities if that's the case ...
You say that phrase when the goals of an individual player are at odds with those of the team. In this case, an outside force is preventing the *team* from celebrating as one. I guarantee you if he put it to a vote, they would unanimously decide to wait or protest in some way...and Belichick would vote right along with them.ilol@u said:I think BB will always stress 'No player is bigger than the team' and the Patriots won't do anything special regarding Brady's absence.
If he's going to be selling them, he'll need to remove the logos.steveluck7 said:I've known the guy who designed this for about 20 years, he even designed custom beer labels for a beer i brewed before my wedding.

Now that he's been featured on barstool, Zolak tweeted this pic, and he and Mike from Attleboro (98.5 "celebrity" caller) will be selling these and t-shirts, the NFL is bound to find out quickly.

Yup but he can keep the XLIX just without the Super Bowl trophy and the stadium.

I'm down for the blimp, though.
Sure if you want to see Belichick suspended for life. The hammer they would apply for conduct detrimental to the league would dwarf the current penalties by a large margin. A better protest would be for the fans to simply not enter the stadium and have the game played (at least for a quarter) in an empty stadium. Probably nearly impossible to organize in it's entirety, but I would bet you could get a substantial majority of the ticket holders to do it.jackno said:I am sorry if this has been mentioned.
Also sorry if it is considered ridiculous, but:
If the Pats feel they have been truly treated unfairly, they could forfeit the first game. Simply not send the team out to play.
I can't think of a way to send a clearer signal that this is crap and we are not going to take it.
I'm sure you're right, but think of the potential for complete mayhem with my plan. A full stadium and no game...RIFan said:Sure if you want to see Belichick suspended for life.

You know this is Dustin Pedroia's walk-up music, right?
This has been said elsewhere. I think this is suspending the team and the fans for one game. Better: win. Win with Jimmy G, crush everyone with Brady and whatever balls they put out there. Crush crush crush. More superbowls in people's mouths.jackno said:I am sorry if this has been mentioned.

No chance you could get a substantial majority of fans to do it. Maybe 1000 fans. People spend a shit ton of money for tickets, they're not going to show up late or hang out in the parking lot.RIFan said:Sure if you want to see Belichick suspended for life.

doc said:Why can't the Pats hold a private ceremony to raise the banner with just the team and the fans, hold a big party at Foxboro before the season starts. Now I know the logistics would be a nightmare, but I don't think the NFL can stop them. Then on opening night it's on to 2015.
