[Patriots claim waived/injured rookie RB Tyler Gaffney from the Panthers]

 

 

And there's really no argument you can make that would paint the Pats ethical. Sorry man. 

 

 

Care to elaborate? They're one of the most respected franchises in the league top to bottom.

[Patriots claim waived/injured rookie RB Tyler Gaffney from the Panthers]

Imagine that. Pats cherry picking other teams players on IR. It's an unwritten rule throughout the league that you don't really do that.

 

Maybe the NFL should change that rule so teams don't have to be scared of other teams taking their IR'd players.  

 

 

 

What are you talking about? It's standard practice league wide.

[Irsays ban looks like..]

I wouldn't take money from Irsay.

[Pats Pulpit article The Drought]

The Pats remind me of the Atlanta Braves.

 

 

Bad analogy. The Braves were 1-4 in the World Series over 15 seasons. The Patriots were 3-2 in Super Bowls over 10 seasons.   

[Pats Pulpit article The Drought]

The 10  win chant is pathetic. Reminds me of when the Colts did the same stupid thing. The actions speak for themselves.

[Irsays ban looks like..]

Ever had a speeding ticket? I have. Bad ones. Tickets for operating a vehicle at over 20 miles past the speed limit. It may have been long ago, but i can assure you that my possibility of actually taking another persons life at 75+ mph was so far greater than Mr Irsay at less than 20 AND under the influence, that they aren't even worth mentioning in the same sentence. 

 

And just for conversation, so is every driver who ever drove tired. Pointing out that he didn't kill anyone speaks more to me about your dislikes of him, than it does about how fortunate society is for not having to die at his hand. 

 

 

 

 

 

He was under the INFLUENCE  of narcotics operating a MV. He was going 20 mph when popped but very well could have been going 100mph 5 minutes prior. Your post couldn't be more off the mark. 

[Irsays ban looks like..]

There is probably no stipulation that the fine has to be paid directly from Irsay's account. He owns the Colts, the money in Colts Inc. is his...

 

True and money is money is money. He should pay it in wheelbarrows filled will quarters. Have the whole team march up Park Ave. with them.  

[Irsays ban looks like..]

True. I just find it funny to think what a different world it must be to treat a 500k fine like a mere annoyance.

Oh dear, now I must drive the yellow ferrari this week. I pawned the silver one and the black one to pay my fine.

 

 

I hear you and it's a problem that I'd love to have to opportunity to explore but Mr. Irsay isn't parting with any Ferrari's to raise funds for his fine.

[Irsays ban looks like..]

Since we're already being technical, I wonder about that. Players get their game checks docked. Would the league withhold the amount of the fine from the team's share of revenue, or would they ask for a check?

 

 

That's a good question but I think a check because it's not the Colts Inc. but Irsay's fine. 

[Irsays ban looks like..]

Federal insurance only covers up to 250k. Doubt he has a checking account exceeding that. #firstworldproblems

 

 

It's just a matter of moving money. Without question he's writing a check for 500G and the league is cashing it. And what Superman said.

 

 

Irsay doesn't even feel it. Kraft didn't feel the 250G and Belichick didn't feel the 500G. Small fines for big boys with big toys.

[Irsays ban looks like..]

you don't have to yell about it.

 

Side question..........since preseason games are like regular games.........do they count in this case?

I had the caps lock on and am to lazy to edit it. I don't think preseason counts.

[Irsays ban looks like..]

but being a billionare doesn't mean you have a billion+ dollars in the bank.

$500,000.00 WILL BE A VERY SMALL DENT IN HIS CHECKING ACCOUNT.

[Irsays ban looks like..]

Um, don't you guys think you are underestimating the difficulty of handing out an unexpected half million dollars?

No. It's not a problem for Mr. Irsay. It has no effect and doesn't change vacation plans, new car purchase, bling for the girl friends ect.

[Pats Pulpit article The Drought]

I don't think there is any denying that the Patriots have been very awesome for a long time now.

[Irsays ban looks like..]

Nice to see Coolpat still has his Colts infatuation thingy going on.

I love the Colts. I'm just glad Mr. Irsay didn't kill anyone. The punishment is nothing more than a stubbed toe. How's the cycling going? I almost took one out on the Harley last weekend.

[Irsays ban looks like..]

Ridiculous over the top fines are reserved for Robert Kraft and the New England Patriots.

[Peyton Manning Voted No.1 By The Players]

Not quite. I think Devin McCourty is the best safety in the NFL. It's just that the majority of the players on your team are terribly overrated.

 

 

What up Dusty...I still smell wood burning when you type.

[Gronk targets opener for his return]

Wishing injury = HUGE LOSER. But you already know that.

[Peyton Manning Voted No.1 By The Players]

Flynn was 2-2-1 during games he played for the packers. He did lead them from behind to get the tie in his first appearance though

 

 

I was at a freezing cold Sunday or Monday night game at the Razor that the Patriots were lucky to win against Flynn and the Packers.

[Peyton Manning Voted No.1 By The Players]

Is there anyone posting that doesn't feel that Brady and Manning are among the all-time greats at QB? 

 

Is there anyone posting that feels Rogers is among the all-time greats?

[All-time TD pass king: Peyton or Brees?]

Lots of Darwinism in this thread.

[2014 surprise/sleeper team [Merge]]

The Colts make the playoffs.

[Peyton Manning Voted No.1 By The Players]

Remember that time Peyton threw the ball an the receiver caught it...that was awesome.

[Peyton Manning Voted No.1 By The Players]

Peyton would be a great politician. All smoke and mirrors.

[sherman smarter then andrew?]

No way! Luck is not only the most intelligent QB in the league but also the most intelligent of all players in the league followed by Peyton then Sherman.
