And this is why it does not pass the smell test for me that they didn't see the tape. They had it, they saw it. They're full of shit.ifmanis5 said:

From MMQB today (maybe this should go in the DFG thread):
"I think one thing I heard out of the league meetings in New York last week disturbed me. Commissioner Roger Goodell was asked if the data from testing air pressure in footballs in random games this fall will be released to the public. “I don’t know,” he replied. In the random games, the league is testing the air pressure of the footballs pre-game (as always) and then again at halftime. Officials will log the data, then remove those balls from play. In the second half, 12 backup balls per team will be used, and then those balls will be gauged and the measurements logged after the game. So, about whether the data will be made public, it’s a big mistake if kept under wraps. It has to be made public, or else the public’s going to think the NFL is hiding the results. The NFL can’t simply say, “The balls were in compliance.” Goodell said before the Wells report was released that the league would be totally transparent and we would know what Wells knew when Wells finished the report. So why is this different? I can guess. The NFL wants to reserve the right to not issue the measurements if it makes the league’s case against Tom Brady look bad.
I think what I’ve thought all along about the psi measurements of the footballs: The New England footballs from the AFC Championship Game may have been doctored. But how will we know for sure if we don’t see the measurements from similar games later in this season—games with weather data similar to that from the Jan. 18 Patriots game? And why would the NFL not want to publicize the data from games with the same approximate weather? There is only one conclusion to be drawn: That the league doesn’t want to be shown to have blown the Brady discipline (and the docking of two draft picks and $1 million from the Patriots) by prematurely whacking Brady and the team so hard."

When Peter King hits the tab key, does it make an indentation or does it automatically type "I think "?
That isn't the only conclusion to be drawn.
He's saying that is the only thing anyone could possibly think. That isn't true.
It might be a probable conclusion and it might even be right. But the only conclusion to be drawn from Peter King's work is that he is not smart.

Took me a few days but I finally got why you posted this. Quite rich coming from mr I'd vote for a serial rapist if he's HOF worthy because policies!Corsi said:

King's reasons to tell the bitchers to stop are asinine, but it's their own damn faults if they haven't taken the small step into the 21st century and purchased some sort of streaming device for the TV (Roku, AppleTV, Chromecast, Xbox/PS3/PS4, something). These people don't bother with Netflix, Hulu, or any of that stuff either?
I know it was hyperbole (600+ times), how many times has Brady ever jumped over the pile? I can think of the Ravens game when he almost got killed.
King was making it sound like Brady does it all the time, and the Jets should have seen it coming.
He usually is burrowing into the line on his sneaks which is why if I recall you can see the Jets trying to burrow themselves to stop him.

Yes, as the Jets lined up with a crowd around the center, my first thought was they've decided to take away the sneak possibility. But Brady outsmarted them by employing the rarely used (for him) option of going over the top.
Does Peter King know that people wanting to watch NFL football is sorta his meal ticket?
His inherent need to talk down to the rabble and tell them their complaints are invalid apparently trumps even that. Which is impressive.
Brady is widely known for spending tons of time practicing keeping his knees up to get a better spot on sneaks. King should probably know this--he even does well on FO's QB rushing stats because of it because that edge gives him a large success rate. King should probably know that.

I think you're just missing that Peter King thinks a 4 game win streak following a 4 game losing streak within an 82 game season qualifies as "strange."
I mean a team could rip off four losses or four wins in a row at anytime. Nothing to see there. But when they happen back to back? BAM. Mind Blown.
I think he sees the scores as a near-mirror image of each other:joe dokes said:
Fourth loss, first win: 2-1, 2-1
Third loss, second win: 3-1, 3-2
Second loss, third win: 5-3, 5-4
First loss, fourth win: 3-1, 4-2
Is this anything of note? Of course not. It might be interesting if each game had the same final scores, winning scores, or losing scores. But none of that happened, and the overall point differential didn't even net to zero. A team with a -2 point differential over 8 games finished with a .500 record? Weird.
The scores were similar enough, though, to catch his attention. And now that I have demonstrated that I can see the world through Peter King's bifocals, please give me a moment while I sit in a rocking chair and reflect on what past decisions and actions brought me to this point in my life.
Gotta love today's MMQB, with Petey back to carrying water for his masters on Park Ave. How about this one?
"3. I think this is what I hear happened at the Jets-Patriots game, regarding the sweeping of the locker room for bugs: The reason the Jets say they didn’t know about it is because they didn’t request it. The sweeping of locker rooms is done in every locker room in 31 stadiums during the course of the year, checking for anything irregular, such as listening devices. Requesting the IDs or credentials of random people on the sidelines, which the Jets reportedly did during the New England game, is quite common, and those checked had legitimate reasons to be on the sidelines. So nothing to see here, people. Move along."
and this:
"8. I think the NFL will have to come down on the Colts with a significant fine if, after the league investigates, it finds Andrew Luck has multiple broken ribs and the team never claimed it on the injury report. Jay Glazer reported on FOX that Luck had broken ribs in addition to his bum shoulder, and when GM Ryan Grigson responded with a statement on Sunday afternoon, he didn’t deny Glazer’s report. He didn’t confirm it either. But clearly, if Luck had no broken ribs, Grigson would have shot the report full of holes. He did not. Because the Colts were the ones who fingered the Patriots for the deflated footballs before the AFC Championship Game, leading to the current Tom Brady scandal, the league will have to do something more than a just a letter of warning telling them not to play games on the injury report anymore."
Fine, bullshit. This is the INTEGRITY OF THE GAME! A 1, a 4, $1M, Irsay's stash, and Luck suspended until someone in the AFC South has a winning record seems about fair to me...

That seems a little excessive. The earliest Luck would be eligible to return would be if they scheduled a division game week 1 of 2016... How about we just make Grigson make a bunch of trades? I'm pretty sure we're like 3 beers away from a first for Doug Martin, a future 1st for Haloti Ngata, and a 2nd for Michael Oher.mwonow said:
I chuckled heartily at this. I mean of all the possible matches Pete. Try just a little harder. Why anyone in NE would go anywhere near Irsay is near incomprehensible and the Lions are in the same division with Rodgers staring down the potential of a complete rebuild.
7. The hottest coach/GM candidate. I’ve always thought Josh McDaniels would leave New England only for a job that had a very good quarterback. Could a McDaniels/Nick Caserio as coach/GM from New England tempt Jim Irsay in Indianapolis, or whoever Martha Ford designates as headhunter in Detroit? Head coaches haven’t been fired in either place, obviously, but it would be a surprise if either Jim Caldwell in Detroit or Chuck Pagano in Indianapolis makes it to 2016. McDaniels/Scott Pioli might be another to watch as a combo platter.

Wind changing directions doesn't qualify as weird, or any synonym found in a thesaurus, in any intelligent persons head
The really weird finger position and holding of the bottle by his right hand?
It's just an awkward way to hold it. I would probably just grasp the top versus the weird almost caressing hold of the side especially if the goal is to show off the name on the front. Or a pinch grip along the top.

The pose is ultra creepy. Why does his face need to be in the picture, anyway. Simply showing a bottle with the label facing out makes the point.
"Wind was blowing to the left. So I aimed it to the right. Like I thought would happen, the wind blew it slightly to the left, inside the right post."
And then he added: "Did you fucking listen to me, literally 3 seconds ago, when I said I knew there was a light wind that I had to account for, so I aimed it to the right, and then I could tell when I had made it? And I was right? What is your problem?

While the hands are weird, I'd say what makes it super creepy is his dark turtleneck that makes him look like an extra in Mummenshanz.
