Amari Cooper looks thrilled to be a Raider
Already has his "game face" on maybe? LOL...
I remember a quote from Randy Moss (long ago) when he played for the Raiders. He said something along the lines of...
.....this organization is messed up, and coming from me, that's saying something......
One postseason game. Tebow got the Broncos past the Steelers in the "316" game.
I think after that, God said, "Dude, you're a nice kid, but this is exhausting. I got a universe to run. You're on your own." Then, thud.
Meanwhile....
The Broncos moved up in the draft to get Shane Ray, who came in as a hot prospect but then, three days before the draft, was caught with marijuana. His stock plummeted. But the Colorado team didn't seam to think it was all that relevant and snagged him. They've also gotten three offensive linemen. Looks like they're trying to shore up Manning's protection. No great surprise there.
A cynical person might ponder whether, after getting dinged for cheating before, Coach Belichik has learned the fine art of plausible deniability.
I don't think so in this case. This is all the QB. This is like pitchers scuffing (and other things) baseballs. I'm pretty sure this was just between the QB and the equipment manager. You don't tell more people than necessary. This is not uncommon, Brady just got caught.
Here are some hilarious text messages from the deflators WARNING - a little salty language

The Hilarious, Brady-Bashing Texts Sent By The Pats' Ball-Deflators
Hey, I live my life by plausible deniability!
Good analogy. That sounds eminently reasonable. (But for Coach Belichik, it's kinda like a guy on parole being spotted with a group of shoplifters. He might be completely innocent, but his history gives the onlooker pause.
And/or suspension(s).
Hopefully no suspensions.
I don't think it's any worse than the two teams that got caught heating up the footballs during cold weather games. They just got warnings. I'm sure that every QB in the league does something to make the ball to their liking. Mr. Clean just happened to get caught. The report said it was more than probable Mr. Gisele knew about the footballs being deflated. "More than probable" is not the same as "definitely". I'm not saying that he didn't know. I'm just saying there's still reasonable doubt or plausible deniability if you prefer
I'm hearing tell of a 6 game suspension for Brady, loss of a draft pick, and fine for the Pats.
If they trade for Zach Mettenberger they might just get out of the sucky cellar.
Just think Arial Narrow Bold.
Should this be in the "I'm Old" thread if I still think of that as sans serif?
They may be giving him the boot since Muahhh Dollsz became available in free agency.He the Jets' new kicker?
I don’t believe so, and I’m rather progressive... I’ve recently switched out my turkey quill for one of those fountain pens with the internal ink cartridges.
