Another brawl y'day with the Cowboys and Rams, not known anything like it!
Falcons got a win against the titans, 1st quarter was mainly the starting line up offensively and defensively were likely to see starting against the Eagles for the first game and wow 17-0 after first quarter and plenty of positives, rest of the game was a lot more experimental and in the end we just about held on. Early days but their is a real buzz Dan Quinn and is bringing to this team, really think we will top the division and make playoffs (not that difficult for our division I know!) we have the jets next

Happens every off season when two teams train together, I think its encouraged so the players can let off steam and bond at the same time.
Its only a bit of pushing and shoving anyway.

Ah I did not know this, I don't usually follow the off season as much as I have done this year, didn't realise it actually happened quite a bit!

The court case is set for today. Brady seems to be digging his heels in and refusing to come to some sort of compromise deal - I suppose if he considers himself to be innocent (and there is little compelling evidence) you can't blame him for that, but he is starting to look a bit like a spoilt superstar who is wasting court time that could be spent on more deserving cases than "Deflategate"

But of what? Do balls get let down a fraction in cold weather to aid grip? Yeah possibly, just as WRs used to put stickum on their gloves when they thought they could get away with it. But something about the "case" doesn't quite smell right to me.
Whether it's the Commissioner getting hacked off about the destroyed mobile phone, or whether he's sick of the Patriots always pushing the boundaries, or whether post-Rice he felt he needed to come down HARD on someone, and if you do it, you may as well do it to a high profile figure or people don't notice.
Fine for the Patriots, punish them with loss of draft pick(s), but it didn't seem to me that there was anything to suggest that Brady instigated this, rather than the Head Coach, or the OC, or the flippin' QBs coach. Singling out Brady for a suspension is the bit that doesn't quite sit right for me, as I've heard or read nothing that shows this came from him.
The mobile phone business is seriously dumb, but you know what, I reckon that is far more likely to be an affair than deflating footballs. If this is as common as is being suggested in the Patriots locker-room, then it is not a TEXT from Brady to an equipment guy to do this, it's a nod, a wink, or simply done because it's cold outside. And even if it was a text, that's one or two to delete, end of. But if it's full of texts, pictures, and whatsapp messages to and from some tricky little cheerleader, then man, he's not giving that phone up. Have you seen the missus he'd be set to lose.
For my money, the control of this needs to change, the officials should be inflating the balls, and checking the balls, and certainly be allowed to check them during the game, and maybe a sample afterwards. Maybe we'll learn how they change during a game in cold weather, maybe we'll have "new balls" per half in cold weather.
As for the Pats, a fine and draft pick(s), yeah. Singling out an individual player seemed wrong to me somehow.

Now that the real stories have come out the only ones looking like the complete shysters are Goodell and his bunch of arseclowns.
If he was accused of murder and the evidence presented to a judge was of the low and contrived crap the NFL presented he'd have his case thrown out in short time.

He's looking like an innocent man trying to clear his name. Given the Judges lines of questioning and his tone it seems he sees a great deal wrong with how Brady has been treated and how the NFL has conducted itself. Are you saying he should justtake the punishment and let it be?

Wow Eagles are tearing it up in pre season!!!

Bear in mind tonight they are playing against a Green Bay team that started their 3rd choice quarterback. Aaron Rogers hasn't played at all yet. Can't judge much from pre-season, apart from who gets injured.

True! was just browsing through the scores and saw their 25-0 up after 1 qtr! And have looked hot so far in pre season. Falcons reserves and back ups not showing a lot against Dolphins atm

Indeed. I just feel sorry for my daughter so far. She's driven 2 days to be at the Packers game tonight. It's the 3rd time she's seen them, and they lost the first two. Not many people see the Pack lose three in a row.

Will Brady get a real American judge to fall for his act?

So with the last round of pre season games tonight and the new season right ahead of us what's everyone's hopes and expectations for their team for the season ahead?!
Really shouldn't be difficult for Falcons to improve on last seasons poor record and also win the division anything beyond that would be a bonus, looking forward to a new era under Dan Quinn.
