I am going to leave this here.

It's called satire. He's making the point that him calling for suspensions and firings is based on exactly the same non-evidence that Kravitz and Doyel had when they embarrassed themselves.

yea 95% of the country think kravitz and doyel embarrased themselves and not the patriots.

Oh you spoke to "95% of the country" did you? Lol.

[SouthernCal]

Kravifz is only reporting. Not embarassing himself.

[bababooey]

Oh you spoke to "95% of the country" did you? Lol.

You can check the ESPN polls, only new england states think Tom Brady and Bill told the truth, also only New England states think Tom B and Bill arent cheaters. It's not really a good win when the rest of the country is calling nonsense

[backshoulderfade]

What did Kravitz do wrong? Nothing. He reported on a story. That's his job. I am shocked that some are dumb enough to actually blame him for "deflate-gate".

It is literally danger-to-the-gene-pool-stupid.

This was from before the news came out that exonerated the Pats... http://www.marketwatch.com/story/america-believes-the-patriots-cheat-poll-2015-01-29

 

According to the poll, 41 percent of respondents believe New England intentionally deflated footballs below the league limit in its 45-7 win over the Colts in the AFC title game.

Just 27 percent buy into the Patriots’ loud and convoluted claims of innocence, while 32 percent had no opinion.

Oh wow Boston you continue to make your selves look stupid.....

Absolutely nothing has came out exonerating the Patriots.

If he had stuck to "reporting", I'd agree...you may want to read his articles...there was a LOT more "opinioning and hypocritical moralizing" than there was "reporting".

[Bad Morty]

Nor has anything come incriminating them

[SouthernCal]

He's a colts reporter. Of course he will give his opinions.

and "opinions" aren't "reports".

[bababooey]

The initial evidence has incriminated them, that's why there is an investigation.

[SouthernCal]

the investigation are his reports so.....

Grigson told the NFL, Kravitz reported it.

[Bad Morty]

Literally the investigation are his reports so.....

A "reporter" would say "According to a source, the league is investigating the situation". Calling for people to be fired and suspended when there isn't one iota of evidence to justify such a thing is irresponsible at best, slanderous at worst. Kravitz is getting destroyed on Twitter by real journalists over this as more and more comes out and he starts looking more and more like a jealous fan boy with an axe to grind.

[SouthernCal]

Kravitz didn't call anyone to be fired/suspended in his reporting

[Bad Morty]

Kravitz didn't call anyone to be fired/suspended

yeah...he did...

 

Here’s what Kravitz wrote after a very compromised source with an ax to grind against Belichick told him that the Patriots used some underinflated footballs: “If Patriots owner Robert Kraft has an ounce of integrity, he will fire Bill Belichick immediately for toying with the integrity of the game for the second time in his otherwise magnificent career. … If Roger Goodell has an ounce of integrity, and he’s not spending all his time going to pre-game soirees at Kraft’s mansion, he will not only fine Belichick and take away draft choices, but suspend the head coach for the upcoming Super Bowl.”

[SouthernCal]

That's his own opinion but not in the original reporting

Opinion and Reporting are different things

[backshoulderfade]

If he had stuck to "reporting", I'd agree...you may want to read his articles...there was a LOT more "opinioning and hypocritical moralizing" than there was "reporting".

That is completely besides my point. The point is Bob Kravitz cannot be blamed for the deflategate situation. He has a right to voice an opinion thanks to a little thing you have in your country called the 1st ammendment. Ultimately, his opinion of the matter has no bearing on the decision the NFL will come to as a result of the investigation.

He is a journalist. Giving an opinion is his job and right or wrong, it get's his articles hits. For him to be discredited he would have had to have provided wrong information, which he did not.

As an aside, can we PLEEEAAAAAAASE stop using the -gate suffix for every single controversy ever!

There has been zero reports that exonerate the Patriots. That is why the investigation is on going. The more you talk the deeper that pile of horse dung is getting.

When did Kravitz or Doyle embarrass themselves?

Wrong again.

Is that any different that the Patriot reporters saying the Patriots did nothing wrong before the finale results are out? What real journalist? Patriot journalist? Or you? Maybe iy would be possible to find out the finale results before assuming anything. Lets see what you do and what you say if and when the Patriots are called out for the deflated footballs. The NFL and Goodell have made no comments one way or another. It's all speculation by the media. At least your not deflecting the issue with what some Patriots fans are doing. And that is deflecting the issue with bringing what other teams might have did or didn't do. That is the favorite thing to do when the heat is turned on.

Plus their guys are creating their own ending as much as colts fans in this forum are in the past week. Wait till the real investigation is actually over.

Ain't that the truth. All of the media has jumped all over this issue. Most of the Patriot fans wouldn't accept the facts as we all know them. All 11 of them.

[Jaric]

The funny part is that local Boston media was far more agressive in their condemnations of New England than Bob Kravitz could ever hope to be.

This whole thing is silly. Let's release the darn report and move on.

Robert Kraft owns Goodell.

If anything should happen, it is a conflict of interests investigation into the Kraft-Goodell relationship.

[NBColtsFanatic]

That stupid article is filled with bias. It makes me angry and surprised at how rude and mean people can be, especially how classless New England fans acted toward Bob Kravitz. I thought New England wanted to forget deflategate, so why do they keep bringing it up. That person doesn't know anything, just his bias ideas.

It's hardly satire:

Hurley: Failed DeflateGate Accusations Mean It’s Time For Irsay, Pagano To Be Banned From NFL

You're right, because the Colts AND their fans should be allowed to level baseless allegations against the New England Patriots.  And the New England media and fans should just sit on their superior intellects and be quiet.

Robert Kraft owns Goodell.

ONE of Your Beloved Colts just assaulted a man over a parking space.  Do you think that is courteous and respectful?

why do patriots fans always have to bring up what others do?? And no once again I never said what Jackson did was respectful. This was brought up why? what you posted has nothing to do with people from Boston being rude and disrespectful unless Jackson is from Boston
