if a player on your team does it, rip him to shreds if he plays for another team.
And, yes, media will do as media does.
But, if you want to discuss Eli, NO, he will NOT end up in the hall of fame. close, but no cigar. he's only in serious consideration by BBIers because he's a Giant. on any other team, his biggest fans would be saying close, but not quite there.

Wrong, Eli will absolutely get in the HoF. The guy will likely finish in the all-time Top 5 in the top passing stat categories. He will have the 2nd longest games started streak, and 2 SB trophies and MVPs. That's more than enough to get him in.

You couldn't be more wrong..Two-time SB MVP, ironman, will wind up with top 5-7 stats all-time and not because he Bettis-ed it either..Two of NFL history's greatest ever playoff runs..He's an immortal lock. I'm just not certain WHEN..

There is nothing there except an attorney trying to gin up his case. Eli's side of this and his explanation is perfectly reasonable.
Cliff notes on Eli's "side of this?"
A Giants.com mod apparently had some scoop that he just wanted what was, at least technically and legally, game worn stuff to actually look more game worn (scuffed, etc) because, mostly due to the quantity used, it looked too "clean" and that usually pisses people off.
Skiba's emails to the plaintiff are the damning ones.
Something about giving away the "BS ones" because Eli wanted the real stuff. Maybe Eli will have a fall guy on the equipment staff who'll say he made decisions without consulting Eli first. The ol' Deflategate rationalization.
Many NFL team owners are hated for one reason or another but Eddie DeBartolo Jr. gave fans and the league good reason to dislike him after an extortion scandal in 1998. The San Francisco 49ers owner, along with former Louisiana governor Edwin Edwards, got into a load of trouble involving extortion and failing to report a felony related to their attempt at getting a river boat casino license.
2) Paul Hornung jr. (In the HOF)
Oh, he bet on NFL games, and got suspended (along with Alex Karras), after they got caught.
(Associating with gamblers, or kissing Suzy Kobler...hmmm, not sure what's worst)
4) Michael Irvin (In the HOF)
Quote:
We really don't care about Irvin's drug issues, we care more about his "stabbing a teammate in the neck with a pair of scissors" issues. That transgression occurred in Cowboys training camp, roughly a month before the 1998 season. That whole thing stemmed from an argument over which Cowboy was more suited for a haircut, Irvin or incoming guard Everett McIver. While McIver was already in the chair mid-cut, Irvin attempted to evict him by shouting "Seniority!" angrily. He yelled it three more times before screaming "Punk get the fuck out of my chair!" link
5) Oh, and we have the following who have a real chance of getting in the HOF
Bret Favre (Cell Phone pics)
Ray Lewis ("I don't know nothin!")
Tom Brady ("Trashing my cell phone means NOTHING!)
and so on.
Yep, Eli needs to get BETTER at being nasty, that seems to the the ticket for the HOF!! Uniforms are so minor league!
this the Walter Payton man of the year last year(How is that for a NFL PR nightmare). Also the destruction of Eli's Ironman record? No way a suspension for this, maybe a fine at most. The other side still has to explain that Eli knowingly committed fraud for profit. Again cellphone text talk can be spin in a hundred different directions something lawyers will do.. Until a league source says suspension, its just talk to sell paper.

often means different things, when its context is appreciated. The Eli context is 13 or 14 years of an exemplary record, football income far beyond the dreams of avarice, and a statement that apparently meant, get me some game worn gear that looks game worn enough that the possessor can imagine the bumps and bruises. The statement on its face is quite readily explainable, with no real evidence of fraudulent intent whatsoever. And yet, yes, I have heard the boring, purveyors of sport talk radio, prattling on incessantly, with their typically indolent and facile opinions, and pronouncing their hyperbolic sentences, as if they had even an iota of an idea what they are talking about. Before pronouncing someone guilty of serious fraud, and pronouncing sentence, it is a legal principle of fundamental importance that the accused person has the right to be heard, and to have the facts known before any judgment is made, let alone sentence pronounced. Let's set a higher standard on BBI.
Some in the media..As I said, much ado..A Court can't touch it and the NFL won't even give it a thought having occurred 7 years ago..
There's nothing new on this.
Honnestly, the only people who really care, despite the Post's best efforts, seem to be Patriot fans and Chris Christie.
Talk about relevant and "everybody".
And huge fail at the post before yours.

Seriously?
Would that be the rug in front of his plaque at the HOF

Nice
There's been many mentions by the media that Eli may get suspended for 1 game, and it's in defenderdawgs pinned thread in one of his articles.
I don't know why some people get their panty's in a bunch over someone bringing up a concern that's been talked about in the media.

Why is that? He will be the QB for this team this year and probably a few more.

By the media? Or the League?
Nothing against this in his morals clause. Only those in parts of patriots country care, or the mighty Dan Patrick?
