I know you like the Bills, I was wondering about 1965GP.

I don't follow them but how did you know? And yes, I assumed you were targeting me.

Assumption based on proximity - you live up there right? You posted your zip code the other day.

The land of "we almost got it" sports teams.

Aka: Wide left and No Goal

I heard that Tom and Bill were both going to retire and go to work for Pilkington Glass.

Apparently Pilkington suffers from a name recognition issue. Pilkington hopes that Tom and Bill will help overcome that, but are willing to accept the possible loss of business with those who don’t like winners....

Unfortunately this is a bad year for us- I am a Houston Texan fan.

I’m sure we have done things in the past, and don’t even bother bringing up Cushing... I still like him because he is on my team and has supported us (when not suspended).

JJ is a god in our town and hopefully Deshaun Watson is our future.

Because of my job I get to go to A LOT of NFL games all over. Some places are great no matter who you are with (Green Bay), some get a bad rap (Oakland and Seattle really aren’t that bad), some are just rude (New England) and some like to fight (49ers and Browns). Most are just a good time no matter what.

I went to the Manning/Brady game in NE that snowed really bad. We were field level and as a dumb redneck I wasn’t impressed.

Not looking to slam, I'll leave that to the rest of you - just looking for perspective.

People are only rude at NE games if you're rude first. I've never had a bad experience with any Patriots, Bruins, Celtics, or RedSox crowd.

[Chief of the 60's]

LOL, of course not. Classic answer right there ^ ^ ^

My friends from Bas-tone drop so many F'bombs in their normal speak I can never tell if they're pissed off or not.

It's a perfectly useful word - it's a noun, a verb, an adverb & an adjective.

No he's right, a lot of them are rude, and belligerent when drunk.

Colts fan here, that’s not going to happen. If anything, this kind of “fake news” seems to fuel this team.

Yeah, it will be poor officiating, bad, and missed calls, etc.

So I guess the Titans can count on having headset issues.

"It’s a league problem. It’s wherever," Panthers coach Ron Rivera said, via PFT. "It will go out right in the middle and not just here or in New England or in San Francisco, but it could go out in a critical time."

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett: "That’s certainly been a part of having to deal with game-day situations, throughout my career as a player and a coach."

Speaking of the Cowboys, here's Texans coach Bill O'Brien: "It happened in Dallas, it happens here, it happens wherever I’ve been."

Eagles coach Chip Kelly: "I’ve heard a lot of things on the headsets, I think there’s a lot of frequency issues some places. I’ve heard air traffic control and a lot of different things."

First-year Jets coach Todd Bowles: "It’s happened a bunch of other places. There have been times when the headsets have gone out, it wasn’t New England, I can’t remember the places we’ve had it, but we’ve had some of those headset problems."

The NFL seems to be doing everything to deflect blame away from the Patriots. In an official statement, they said that the interference was caused by “a stadium power infrastructure issue, which was exacerbated by the inclement weather.” Even if true, these errors should really be few and far between. The NFL also has a reason to deflect blame away from the headsets that coaches use, as they’ve recently (in 2014) signed a five-year deal with Bose that’s reportedly worth over $50 million per year.

Either way, with hundreds of millions of fans around the world, and unfathomable amounts of money invested in the sport, the NFL should really be doing more to fix these technology bugs that affect games. When teams violate rules, the NFL is unabashedly harsh on them; look at the Atlanta Falcons in 2015 when they pumped fake crowd noise into the stadium. Maybe if the NFL wants to preserve the integrity of their game — and to remove the already large cloud that’s hovering over it — it must also be harsher on itself.

Of course it is.

[The Boss]

To claim the Patriots are the only team that cheats and that is the only reason for their success is not only puerile but factually untrue.

You can continue as I expect you will, but it does not prove you are anything but inane.
