148. How much money are you worth?
Sat Jan 24, 2015, 01:16 AM
Jan 2015

I'd like to bet you the full amount that, of course, Tom Brady will be playing. There is zero chance he won't (barring injury, kidnapping, etc.).

I think it is a fact.. sendero Jan 2015 #1
You may be right, but football fans are even more outraged over this than the Rice scandal. cleanhippie Jan 2015 #4
Actually the only fans pipi_k Jan 2015 #40
I think an obscure blog quoting an anonymous source before... cleanhippie Jan 2015 #48
A company is responsible for putting in checks and balanced joeglow3 Jan 2015 #66
The only fans outraged are those who hate them? Hmm, I dont hate any football team but I am pretty NoJusticeNoPeace Jan 2015 #78
The hate chestnut is trotted out AgingAmerican Jan 2015 #103
Bingo! cleanhippie Jan 2015 #118
Indeed Capt. Obvious Jan 2015 #125
You keep pointing to an obscure blog quoting an anonymous source. cleanhippie Jan 2015 #93
As opposed to your source? Capt. Obvious Jan 2015 #95
The NFL. cleanhippie Jan 2015 #109
So you're attributing quotes to the NFL now? Capt. Obvious Jan 2015 #117
Huh? cleanhippie Jan 2015 #119
You blocked quoted quotes in your OP Capt. Obvious Jan 2015 #120
You're either simply ficking with me or are being intentionally obtuse. cleanhippie Jan 2015 #123
Only 'haters' don't accept cheating? AgingAmerican Jan 2015 #101
It's okay to be a hater Capt. Obvious Jan 2015 #104
The 'hate' meme/chestnut AgingAmerican Jan 2015 #105
Not really Capt. Obvious Jan 2015 #116
there are some NFL Hall of Famers and former champions that are none too pleased frylock Jan 2015 #121
Corruption is Kool. GeorgeGist Jan 2015 #143
I think the Ray Rice issue is different mythology Jan 2015 #91
I completely agree. cleanhippie Jan 2015 #92
I think any punishment will involve leftynyc Jan 2015 #6
I tend... sendero Jan 2015 #7
What I find unfortunate is leftynyc Jan 2015 #9
The most vexing consequence.. sendero Jan 2015 #12
Brady should have said something, if he wasn't in on it. AtheistCrusader Jan 2015 #33
I agree... sendero Jan 2015 #36
+1 exactly^ lunasun Jan 2015 #42
Tom Brady will most definitely be playing in the Super Bowl JaneyVee Jan 2015 #2
Much can change in 10 days. cleanhippie Jan 2015 #5
True. Here's what will DEFINITELY change... JaneyVee Jan 2015 #8
Can doesn't mean will Major Nikon Jan 2015 #85
We shall see. cleanhippie Jan 2015 #113
Of course Brady will be playing leftynyc Jan 2015 #3
No FACTS. rug Jan 2015 #17
No. But he knew. n/t Whiskeytide Jan 2015 #23
If you have proof of that leftynyc Jan 2015 #30
The Pats ran 75 offensive plays... Whiskeytide Jan 2015 #46
But is that enough leftynyc Jan 2015 #60
Oh, I do too.... Whiskeytide Jan 2015 #73
I suspect you're right about that leftynyc Jan 2015 #100
What he knew or didn't know or should have known doesn't add up to a hill of beans Major Nikon Jan 2015 #86
Of course it matters... Whiskeytide Jan 2015 #94
It isn't proof, circumstantial or otherwise Major Nikon Jan 2015 #99
So Brady can't tell the difference handling the ball all game Goblinmonger Jan 2015 #126
Sounds kinky, but I'm afraid I'm not interested Major Nikon Jan 2015 #147
Brady threw 21 passes in the first half onenote Jan 2015 #144
It can undercut it some... Whiskeytide Jan 2015 #145
all good teams have great records with respect to fumbles onenote Jan 2015 #146
Of course he knew. If D'Qwell Jackson of the Colts could tell, in a single interception that the AtheistCrusader Jan 2015 #49
That was the kicking ball. n/t Whiskeytide Jan 2015 #53
Jackson said last night that this was not true. He said that he could NOT tell. n/t MANative Jan 2015 #57
Well, fuck the media then. Reporting is all over the place on that. AtheistCrusader Jan 2015 #107
One of the many reasons I don't care much for pro sports rurallib Jan 2015 #10
I think you're quoting "facts" that are not in evidence. The NFL has said NOTHING. MANative Jan 2015 #11
All the items listed as facts are being repoted by the media as facts. cleanhippie Jan 2015 #26
And the media has never been wrong. Neither has Mortenson. LOL n/t MANative Jan 2015 #52
And the Patriots never cheat. Lol. cleanhippie Jan 2015 #55
And neither does any other NFL team. LOL MANative Jan 2015 #59
Everyone has their blinders on... Agschmid Jan 2015 #67
Keep in mind that Professional Sports in America is all about Entertainment. rgbecker Jan 2015 #13
The team will be fined $275K and MIGHT lose a draft pick. MohRokTah Jan 2015 #14
What if it was done by the refs? dumbcat Jan 2015 #15
this has to be most preposterous theory yet! frylock Jan 2015 #129
Why? dumbcat Jan 2015 #135
why don't you tell me why think it's even remotely plausible? frylock Jan 2015 #136
No, you tell me why it's not possible. dumbcat Jan 2015 #137
the refs wouldn't need to go to such lengths to effect the outcome of a game ffs.. frylock Jan 2015 #139
OK, thank you dumbcat Jan 2015 #140
hey, glad i could clear that up for you! frylock Jan 2015 #141
You have got to be kidding! yallerdawg Jan 2015 #16
I think there is a much higher probability that you're wrong. onenote Jan 2015 #18
Probably cleanhippie Jan 2015 #24
Wanna bet? NightWatcher Jan 2015 #19
Lol. Agschmid Jan 2015 #20
Brady will play (nt) bigwillq Jan 2015 #21
Couple of additional "facts" you left out onenote Jan 2015 #22
Minor infraction? cleanhippie Jan 2015 #112
it was either the Colts or the refs that did it.. frylock Jan 2015 #130
I'll take that bet sharp_stick Jan 2015 #25
You don't see cheating as being on the same level as game-fixing and bounty-hunting? cleanhippie Jan 2015 #28
No sharp_stick Jan 2015 #31
I see your point but strongly disagree. cleanhippie Jan 2015 #32
A couple of things... pipi_k Jan 2015 #56
A couple of answers... cleanhippie Jan 2015 #61
Their team that just won the AFC Championship? Agschmid Jan 2015 #68
I'm not the one that brought "ruin the team" into this conversation. cleanhippie Jan 2015 #69
It seems to me you did above, maybe I am confused... Agschmid Jan 2015 #70
to be fair, it's their fans that are doing that job.. frylock Jan 2015 #131
The "It's a Rovian conspiracy against the Pats" thing... Whiskeytide Jan 2015 #76
Cheating to make you better is like taking steroids (which also makes you better) Reter Jan 2015 #97
There is no chance in hell the NFL would suspend Brady Takket Jan 2015 #27
Ridiculous. He'll be playing. The league hasn't even interviewed him yet. FSogol Jan 2015 #29
Another FACT is that Jackson denies telling officials about the ball seeming to be Malraiders Jan 2015 #34
The Rumor is that John Harbaugh tipped the NFL to the issue Johonny Jan 2015 #37
Interesting. I read an article that stated fter the interception, he notified his coahing staff cleanhippie Jan 2015 #38
The equipment manager that Jackson handed the ball to noticed it. Are_grits_groceries Jan 2015 #44
The fact that the NFL hasn't even talked to him in their investigation says... Johonny Jan 2015 #35
The fact that the NFL hasn't even talked to him in their investigation says... cleanhippie Jan 2015 #41
Nope! Are_grits_groceries Jan 2015 #39
So should I put you in the trolling camp, or the insane camp? bluedigger Jan 2015 #43
in what camp would you place this poster? frylock Jan 2015 #132
Trolling. bluedigger Jan 2015 #138
he'll be playing in the Super Bowl fishwax Jan 2015 #45
Only God will be the judge of that. TheCowsCameHome Jan 2015 #47
With a choice between the imaginary and real life... cleanhippie Jan 2015 #50
He's got his eye on you naysayers, too. TheCowsCameHome Jan 2015 #75
I find thy to be about as frightening as having the Eye of Sauron on me. cleanhippie Jan 2015 #80
Hopefully he will play and get soundly beaten. alarimer Jan 2015 #51
There's nothing more than that would I rather see. cleanhippie Jan 2015 #54
I'll take the other side of that bet Man from Pickens Jan 2015 #58
Sadly, you may be right. cleanhippie Jan 2015 #65
I think he and Belichick will get away with it. (nt) Paladin Jan 2015 #62
They just might. cleanhippie Jan 2015 #63
I'll settle for the NFL modifying its current ball policy. Paladin Jan 2015 #83
I would wager you are wrong. n/t zappaman Jan 2015 #64
Baloney. Brady will play. BillZBubb Jan 2015 #71
Since the "investigation" will go on for at least six months, TheCowsCameHome Jan 2015 #72
If by high probability you mean not a chance in hell Capt. Obvious Jan 2015 #74
I think he will play but at this point I am not rooting for either team. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #77
If the punishment isnt given today, GusBob Jan 2015 #79
I'd agree with you if you said "by Monday" cleanhippie Jan 2015 #81
Absolutely no chance of that happening oberliner Jan 2015 #82
I think that's ridiculous. truebluegreen Jan 2015 #84
Why Brady? KamaAina Jan 2015 #87
Nice post, Pete Carroll! KamaAina Jan 2015 #88
I think there's a high probability that I won't be watching the game regardless... brooklynite Jan 2015 #89
There is zero chance of that happening. iandhr Jan 2015 #90
He'll play... Wounded Bear Jan 2015 #96
I don't know at this point the level of involvement liberalhistorian Jan 2015 #98
"Anyone telling you that any of these things is likely, quite frankly, are either trolling, KamaAina Jan 2015 #102
We shall see. cleanhippie Jan 2015 #115
that's ok MFM008 Jan 2015 #106
Dumbest thread in years WilliamPitt Jan 2015 #108
Will, a long look in the mirror called... cleanhippie Jan 2015 #110
Maybe you should talk to Tom ... GeorgeGist Jan 2015 #111
I'll leave that to the NFL. cleanhippie Jan 2015 #114
At first I thought you were just trolling the board Capt. Obvious Jan 2015 #122
Lol cleanhippie Jan 2015 #124
I believe that the NFL was in collusion with this nakocal Jan 2015 #127
i think it was sasquatch frylock Jan 2015 #133
