Mike135 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 This is just too damn hilarious to ignore. I bet this guy's boycott goes a long way in hurting the NFL's profit this season. Sure we could just ignore this type of stuff, but where's the fun in that? We still have a week 'til Jets football. Why not have some fun taking enjoyment in their misery in the meantime? The Pats have cheated for quite a long time now. It's pretty cool seeing them finally pay at least some price. It'll only last four weeks, but I'm sure Pat fans will supply us with plenty of entertainment during Brady's suspension. http://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/threads/nfl-suspension-and-boycott-begins-at-my-house.1133045/ The abridged version: Or if you prefer, the actual post: Now that time has run out on the league to do the right thing, an option at their disposal for eighteen months, some temporary and permanent policies have been implemented at my house. -No NFL allowed on in my home until week 5 of 2016, including Patriots games. -No NFL allowed in my house ever again, unless it is the New England Patriots, unless (a) Roger Goodell is no longer there, and (b) the league issues a letter of apology about Defamegate. Sole exception is if it is Super Bowl for social/entertainment reasons. -NFL Sunday Ticket has been cancelled (I was a customer for the last nine years) and all Patriots games are streamed through Sling from my father's local feed in Maine. -No NFL merchandise will ever be purchased again by any member of my household. -No NFL game tickets will ever be purchased in my house again, except for a Patriots game that includes Brady and Belichick. -ESPN banned with the exception of exclusive live sporting events. -NFL Network banned with the exception of exclusive live Patriots games. -All brands, merchandise or any type of purchase that would lead to directly or indirectly supporting any of the following people are boycotted: Jim Irsay, Steve Bisciotti, Bob McNair, Jerry Jones, Woody Johnson, John Mara, Troy Aikman, John Madden, John Harbaugh, Chris Mortensen, Stephen A. Smith, Gregg Doyle, Bob Kravitz, Ryan Grigson, Emmanuel Sanders, Mike Pettine, John Elway, Jerry Rice, Charles Haley, Bill Nye, Exponent, Paul and Weiss, Ted Wells, Judge Parker, Judge Chin, Ron Wolff, and anyone employed by the NFL corporate office who did not publicly denounce corruption and lies by its leadership but in particular Roger Goodell, Jeff Pash, Mike Kensil, and Troy Vincent. I used to be an enormous baseball fan but after hearing that the league looked the other way on steroids in the 90s, the only games I have watched in the past 10 years are Red Sox World Series ones and only a few of those...so I went from watching about 100 games a year to maybe 1 on average. Why? Because there are consequences for those who lie to me..because there are too many other things in the world more worthy of my time and attention. Already I have started to distance myself from the NFL, and my friends are in disbelief that I discontinued my fantasy and pick em leagues that I've been leading for over 10 years. My wife is shocked that I followed through on my word and canceled Sunday Ticket and ESPN and had her return two birthday items that were NFL merchandise, although she gets it. I own a business and have two young kids. I'll get along just fine without the NFL and am not "punishing myself." There's no point in spending the little spare time I have on something I despise and feel negatively about. I forgive Kraft inasmuch as I can and still love the Patriots, but it's hard to separate them from the NFL when they are an NFL team. Regardless, I'll see off Brady and Belichick and always be appreciative of watching them, the best highlight of my sports watching life. But f*ck the NFL. Beyond the Brady BS, this is a league of dishonorable gentlemen. Lies, lies, lies. Concussions, the "bounty scandal," blatant favoritism, lies, more lies, not seeing the Ray Rice tape, more lies. Support them if you want but realize where your time and money is really going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Funny how baseball was wrong to ignore roids, but the nfl was wrong to punish Brady. I drink his tears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn306 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Ah yes the "Bandwagon" Pats. All high and mighty looking down upon all the minions. Yet will support the Pats despite "Spygate", "Deflategate", I really think even legit Pats would want to be the sh!t out of this tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFCEastFan Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 patsfans.com thanks you for your patronage of the worst NFL fan site ever created. My favorite part of this moronic rant: I used to be an enormous baseball fan but after hearing that the league looked the other way on steroids in the 90s, the only games I have watched in the past 10 years are Red Sox World Series ones and only a few of those...so I went from watching about 100 games a year to maybe 1 on average. Why? Because there are consequences for those who lie to me..because there are too many other things in the world more worthy of my time and attention. Good thing those Red Sox WS teams didn't benefit from the likes of David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, Mark Bellhorn and MLB looking the other way. Otherwise they would have suffered the consequences, which I guess would be the loss of this imbecile's viewership even when the Red Sox are in the playoffs.

I'm not saying all Pat fans are like this, but a ton are, and it's pretty entertaining. I'm looking for anything to make this week speed by. Hopefully a few other Pat fans supply some stuff to pass the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Sounds like a man who knows the run is over and he put together a pretty sound exit strategy. Smart guy. I am a die-hard fan. But I don't want them anymore. Not because they are losing. But no, because I am a man of integrity. The way they handled the two cheating incidents with Brady and Belichick doesn't sit right with me. LOL - likely story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
