but you're pushing a constant conspiracy of cheating too

bionic77 has fought his enemy so long he has failed to see the demon he has become!

He said he was done talking about this like a few days ago but he can't leave! I personally want him to stay and keep the conversation going because I enjoy his company.

It's not a conspiracy theory when you've been caught multiple times. There's cold hard evidence.

ESPN gave the Pats back their fine money and draft picks? That was nice of them!

See, you Pats fans really are too hard on them.

At Gillette Stadium, the scrambling and jamming of the opponents' coach-to-quarterback radio line -- "small s---" that many teams do, according to a former Pats assistant coach -- occurred so often that one team asked a league official to sit in the coaches' box during the game and wait for it to happen. Sure enough, on a key third down, the headset went out.

Sounds like the Patriots have stepped up their game against the Steelers in that regard.

Haha. Yeah, run by the NFL? Really need to fire Goodell. Patriots had the same issues, as did NBC.

The NFL described the headset problem last night as “intermittent,” and elected not to shut down the Patriots’ system in return as would normally be required under the NFL’s “Equity Rule.”

NBC’s Michele Tafoya, confusingly, reported from the sidelines during the second quarter that the Patriots’ headsets were, indeed, shut off—contrary to what the NFL claims. (The Steelers, reportedly, are planning to file a complaint with the NFL.)

Here’s how the Pittsburgh Steelers’ official website described tonight’s headset issues:


"The broadcast was so loud that the Steelers coaches were unable to communicate, and the NFL rule is that if one team’s headsets are not working the other team is supposed to be forced to take their headsets off. It’s what the NFL calls the Equity Rule. Strangely enough, whenever an NFL representative proceeded to the New England sideline to shut down their headsets, the Steelers headsets cleared. Then as the representative walked away from the New England sideline, the Steelers’ headsets again started to receive the Patriots game broadcast."

I guess the headsets were deflated.

Can't let little things like facts and logic get it the way of a good story.

Breaking: I've just heard from 91 anonymous sources that Belichick used top-secret government technology to interfere with Tomlin's headset, even though there's no way they should have known the frequency being used. Maybe Belichick has a telepath in a bathtub in the basement of Gillette stadium? Ok, I'm hearing more from those sources now, it seems that telepath potentially read the NFL headset operator's mind to get the information. Could this also be why the Patriots knew the perfect plays to call where Gronk would be left completely uncovered? Where there's smoke, there's fire.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick said after the game that his team also had problems with the headsets.

Kinda wish NBC went into more depth about it than that.

Unfortunately not. Seems to be left out of all of the national news articles. I guess if it doesn't fit the narrative of your story, why include it?

As do I and most of my Facebook feed. The locals are definitely restless.

 

[ParityBit]

I think Tomlin is complaining because he could not get the signal from his coaches as to when he should step on the field to trip someone.

 

[Tawpgun]

omg are people really gonna turn this into a thing?

 

[old manatee]

All of these various gate based controversies are really shining a light in how hard it has been all these years for non-Patriots to watch their teams get stunted on.

According to Belichick the headsets had issues when his team was driving in the 4th quarter. Damn those cheating Steelers.

Hey man I'm just happy to see the Steelers lose. Don't know what Ahabs on about.
