A place where an uniformed person who doesn't like the game can be king...

The only instance I am aware of was the deflate gate. And even then, the details are not cut in stone. Then again, it didn't mean that much to me. I mean, evryone was playing with the same ball...
Now LT for the Giants told of how he would send hookers and drugs up to the rooms of rival teams the night before so they wouldn't be on there game. Cheating or smart? He didn't break any rules...

Maybe you should read up on his stats, career wise, and explain to me all the cheating that took place for him to get those. The NFL should be ashamed they allowed him to play if that was the case.
So, to answer your question, he cheated by deflating the ball. And I would guess that each and every game there are 12 - 13 cheats per average penalties.

You are arguing with someone the size of refrigerator Perry.

lol... I remember the fridge from the 85 SB. Damn he did his job well.
I really wasn't arguing, but I guess it could be taken that way. My intent was to help inform, like any good forum.

The old NASCAR boys used to say: if you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin!

Can anyone really think that the rest of the NFL players are angels?
It evens out. Brady is the GOAT and whoever is 2nd, is far behind.

That many stats/records don't lie.

oops... this thread may have to be deleted because my wife says the retirement info is possible incorrect. Tampa GM states otherwise of the reported retirement...

What is considered legitimate now a days isn't always based on fact, but what conforms to our own biases or agendas. Can anyone think of any examples of that?
Unfortunately, our world now consists of saying anything, even baseless information, and it's taken as fact. It happens every 4 years at the very least.
Not judging your article in particular because I didn't read. Just an observation of the decline of journalism in general.

Mtsoxfan · Jan 29, 2022

All I can say is WOW!!!
Someone wrote a hell of a story, judge, jury and executioner...
Far from all fact based. That doesn't sell books. Reads like a tabloid, from what I hear. Leading the readers to seemingly come up with their own conclusion of guilt. Yes, there are some facts in there, but using that article to try to diminish a great QB is a bit much.

Oh, and the article is from the Daily Beast, hard hitting journalism at its finest. Top right of picture even states OPINION...

That would be an amazing turn of events!
I was thinking he’d go to the 49’ers for one more shot.
Maybe it’ll still happen?

Thats an offer my wife said happened. Time will tell...

Without knowing the behind the scenes story, not sure why he would leave Tampa. He had a great shot this year...

You know you have to quote the Daily Beast to be legitimate...

I had a feeling when he announced he wasn't sure in an interview, talking about family. I thought for sure he was going. He is still better than most, arguably all, others in the league.

The article was rather vague, but it appears that somebody jumped the gun when they reported it.

Sorry. I clicked on his link and was inundated with ads... despite my popup blocker. Then a little research showed what kind of magazine they are. Maybe I can find something in the "Enquirer", instead.

I think many people are having trouble with his age. The last few years I've heard people say he was done, over the hill etc. But he comes back strong.
