More Patriots cheating?

DanMetroMan : 6/8/2018 3:00 pm
The person who posted on Reddit the news of Julian Edelman‘s looming four-game PED suspension a day before ESPN broke the story (which means that ESPN didn’t break the story) has promised another one.

“I’ve actually been sitting on some bigger patriots news for the past few days, still trying to verify that it’s 100% true before putting it out there,” said Redditlover1981. “Regardless I plan to post it here tomorrow evening.”

(It’s admirable that an anonymous person would be careful enough to protect his/her good unknown name by ensuring accuracy.)

Redditlover1981 has decided to accept guesses (and that went exactly how you think it would go), hinting that “the news is negative and it’s about a current multi year patriot.”

bigger wouldn’t be the word I’d use to describe Brady using PEDs. But I can see Gronk or anyone else.
If it is Brady and

he's found using PEDS, is he a first ballot HOFer?
Something tells me this Redditor had one time only

"inside info" and now he's trying to milk it. Didn't he also claim earlier today that there was a trade in the works?
Dude is probably an intern at ESPN

Slade has changed team allegiance and is now trolling the Patriots.

90% of the league used PEDs and everyone knows it. I would doubt being caught doing it would effect the HOF for one of the best few QBs ever.

I thought the deal with Slade was he guessed right on a few pretty improbable things and then came up short every time afterward.

To use the Bonds/McGwire/Clemens argument -

Is he actually one of the best few QBs ever if it's found that he was 'roided up? Those throws he couldn't make coming into the league get a little more power behind them thanks to chemical enhancement.

The eternal flaw with that argument - without knowing exactly who has used PEDs, how could we diminish the achievements of one player competing against the others?

It’s no stretch to assume a significant number of HRs Bonds and McGwire hit were off pitchers using PEDs. Plenty of the hitters Clemens struck out were on PEDs. That’s why it’s BS to keep them out of the HOF, while allowing some of the suspected guys who never got caught to get in. Although, Bonds and Clemens are hurt by the fact they’re assholes too, admittedly.

If Brady has really been using something (which I’d say is A, unlikely to be proven, and B, more likely for recovery/endurance than pure strength), how can we fairly judge his performance unless we have some sense of how many players on defenses he’s played against were on something?

The real hit would be to his golden boy reputation. And I have no problem confessing I’d enjoy some of the schadenfruede with some of the Massholes I know who like to pretend guys like Ortiz were clean.

Brady's main talents are reading a defense (like Eli), getting his star players the ball, and making marginal players to make good plays. He never had a classic cannon for an arm.
I don't know about that

That last attempt to Moss in XLII showed a pretty strong arm, imo

half the posters on BBI are convinced every single guy in the NFL over 300 pounds is absolutely taking illegal substances.

whatever...

It would absolutely taint his legacy  
UConn4523 : 6/8/2018 5:41 pm : link
it won’t keep him from the Hall since the NFL isn’t the MLB, but personally, I’d no longer have him in the GOAT conversation.

I hope for more and more scandalous Patriots news.

I don't care how manufactured or small.

The more the better.

Bring it on.
He admitted he’s been trolling people
