LOL.
I’m realistic. Chargers never really addressed the O-line or D-Line. Sure they got a running back, but what’s the point if you don’t have good guys to block.
Also, good teams never trade up for a draft pick. Looking towards another season of mediocrity.
I wish the Cowboys had picked a RB instead of one of the OT.
Redskins got a pretty high draft grade. We filled out more on the OL which makes me happy and I trust McLoughlin enough to be comfortable with some of the slightly unexpected picks. The pick trade was amazing with Seattle and I’m continually excited to see what this GM is going to do after he gets his own people in place. I’m being a typical Skin’s homer but I really do feel like I could see them jumping up a spot or 2 in the division race this year.
Raven’s got a B+. I would have liked to see a higher CB pick-up, but I don’t think that was really possible. I really like the tight end pick and the WR they got in R1 should be a huge asset. I’m still surprised they picked a WR that high though.
Wells report is out and its damning. Brady “more probably than not” instructed equipment manager and assistant equipment manager to let air out of balls in exchange for cash and signed swag.
Punishment will most likely focus on those three bit may also include the organization.
9 May 2014
During the offseason McNally and Jastremski exchanged the following texts in which McNally referred to himself as â??the deflatorâ??:
McNally (4:37:16pm): You working
Jastremski (4:37:53pm): Yup
McNally (4:39:40pm): Nice dude....jimmy needs some kicks....lets make a deal.....come on help the deflator
[Approximately eight minutes later.]
McNally (4:47:15pm): Chill buddy im just fuckin with you ....im not going to espn........yet
(The investigators note these messages were among those they were unable to discuss with McNally due to the refusal of counsel for the Patriots to arrange a follow-up interview with McNally.)
16 October 2014
During a Thursday night game against the New York Jets in New England, Brady complained on the sidelines about the feel and inflation level of the game balls. With the Patriots leading 17-6 at halftime, Jastremski exchanged text messages with an unidentified recipient concerning Bradyâ??s complaints:
Jastremski (9:51:22pm): Tom is acting crazy about balls
Unidentified recipient (9:51:27pm): Ready to vomit!
Jastremski (9:53:04pm): K
Unidentified recipient (9:53:04pm): He saying there not good enough??
Jastremski (9:53:58pm): Tell later
Jastremski told investigators that Brady â??knows that Jim is the referees locker room attendant,â?? and recalled Brady said something like, â??isnâ??t he in there to make sure the balls are staying where they should be?â?? Jastremski said that he mentioned Bradyâ??s comment to McNally on the sideline, to which McNally responded â??fuck Tomâ??. But when interviewed by investigators, Brady claimed he did not know McNallyâ??s name or anything about McNallyâ??s game-day responsibilities prior to the AFC Championship Game, including whether McNally had any responsibilities relating to game balls.
17 October 2014
Shortly after 9am on the morning after the Patriotsâ?? 27-25 win over the Jets, McNally and Jastremski exchanged the following messages:
McNally (9:05:45am): Tom sucks...im going make that next ball a fuckin balloon
Jastremski (9:07:08am): Talked to him last night. He actually brought you up and said you must have a lot of stress trying to get them done...
Jastremski (9:07:37am): I told him it was. He was right though...
Jastremski (9:08:07am): I checked some of the balls this morn... The refs fucked us...a few of then were at almost 16
Jastremski (9:08:29am): They didnt recheck then after they put air in them
McNally (9:16:31am): Fuck tom ...16 is nothing...wait till next sunday
Jastremski (9:16:52am): Omg! Spaz
When interviewed, both Jastremski and McNally told investigators that McNallyâ??s â??fuckin balloonâ?? message referenced Bradyâ??s conduct during the Jets game. One hour prior to this exchange, Jastremski sent the following messages to his fianceÌ?e:
Jastremski (8:04:56am): Ugh...Tom was right.
Jastremski (8:05:23am): I just measured some of the balls. They supposed to be 13 lbs... They were like 16. Felt like bricks
21 October 2014
McNally and Jastremski exchanged the following text messages ahead of a Sunday game against the Chicago Bears:
McNally (1:56:13pm): Make sure you blow up the ball to look like a rugby ball so tom can get used to it before sunday
Jastremski (2:05:21pm): Omg
When interviewed, McNally told investigators his reference to â??a rugby ballâ?? meant a heavily inflated football.
23 October 2014
Three days before the Bears game, Jastremski and McNally exchanged the following messages:
Jastremski (6:47:21pm): Canâ??t wait to give you your needle this week :)
McNally (6:54:40pm): Fuck tom....make sure the pump is attached to the needle.....fuckin watermelons coming
Jastremski (6:56:13pm): So angry
McNally (7:04:42pm): The only thing deflating sun..is his passing rating
24 October 2014
The next day, Jastremski and McNally exchanged the following messages:
Jastremski (4:47:53pm): I have a big needle for u this week
McNally (5:00:59pm): Better be surrounded by cash and newkicks....or its a rugby sunday
McNally (5:13:40pm): Fuck tom
Jastremski (5:15:52pm): Maybe u will have some nice size 11s in ur locker
McNally (5:31:07pm): Tom must really be working your balls hard this week
25 October 2014
The day before the Chicago game, McNally and Jastremski exchanged the following messages:
Jastremski (3:14:43pm): Size 11?
Jastremski (3:14:54pm): 2 or 3X?
McNally (4:05:34pm): Tom must really be on you
McNally (4:05:39pm): 11 0r 11 half......2x unless its tight fitting
Jastremski (4:06:39pm): Nah. Hasnâ??t even mentioned it, figured u should get something since he gives u nothing
Jastremski (4:07:12pm): Granted I already left stadium so unless Dave leaves room tomorrow then itâ??ll wait till next week
McNally (4:09:10pm): No prob
McNally told investigators he understood â??unless Dave leaves the roomâ?? as a reference to New England head equipment manager Dave Schoenfeld and that he did not want Schoenfeld to see Jastremski provide McNally with clothing and sneakers. Jastremski believes he gave McNally the requested gear â?? a hooded sweatshirt and a pair of sneakers â?? sometime around 7 January 2015 ahead of the Patriotsâ?? AFC divisional playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens.
30 November 2014
A text message sent by McNally to Jastremski at 6.01pm ET during a Patriots road game against the Green Bay Packers includes another reference to football deflation:
McNally (6:01:08pm): Deflate and give somebody that jkt
With kickoff scheduled for 4.25pm ET, itâ??s likely the text message was sent at or around halftime. Investigators were unable to discuss the message with McNally because counsel for the Patriots refused to make McNally available for a requested follow-up interview.
7 January 2015
Eleven days before the AFC Championship Game, McNally and Jastremski discussed how McNally would have a â??big autograph dayâ?? and receive items autographed by Brady the following weekend, before the playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens. McNally and Jastremski exchanged the following text messages:
McNally (9:48:03am): Remember to put a couple sweet pig skins ready for tom to sign
Jastremski (9:48:26pm): U got it kid...big autograph day for you
McNally (9:51:19am): Nice throw some kicks in and make it real special
Jastremski (9:51:44am): It ur lucky. 11?
McNally (10:10:11am): 11 or 11 and half kid
19 January 2015
At 7.04am the morning after the AFC Championship Game, Jastremski accessed the Pro Football Talk story that had been posted at 2.19am regarding the NFLâ??s investigation of the deflation issue. At 7.25am after an exchange of texts with Schoenfeld, Jastremski sent the following text to Brady:
Jastremski (7:25:18am): Call me when you get a second
Brady called Jastremski less than a minute later and they spoke for 13 minutes, four seconds. Although he told NFL security investigators on 20 January that heâ??d not discussed the deflation issue with anyone other than McNally, Jastremski told investigators in February that he discussed the issue with Brady during this call. Jastremski added this was â??probablyâ?? the only conversation he had with Brady, by phone or in person, addressing the deflation issue.
Approximately two and a half hours after that phone call, Brady followed up with Jastremsky by text message:
Brady (9:51:54am): You good Jonny boy?
Jastremski (9:53:27am): Still nervous; so far so good though. Iâ??ll be alright
Brady (9:54:16am): You didnâ??t do anything wrong bud.
Jastremski (9:55:01am): I know; Iâ??ll be all good
When interviewed by investigators, Brady recalled that Jastremski had been worried because he was responsible for the preparation of game balls. Brady said he believed Jastremski would be asked a lot of questions by the organization and sent these messages to show his support. The exchange continued one hour later:
Jastremski (10:54:40am): FYI...Dave will be picking your brain later about it. Heâ??s not accusing me, or anyone...trying to get to bottom of it. He knows itâ??s unrealistic you did it yourself...
Jastremski (10:55:32am): Just a heads up
Brady (10:59:32am): No worries bud. We are all good
Jastremski denied that the â??itâ?? in his 10:54:40 message referenced the deflation of footballs. Later that day, Brady sent Jastremski a text message requesting they meet:
Brady (2:38:09pm): Jj are you here?
Jastremski (2:38:17pm): Yup
Brady (2:38:34pm): Come to qb room
Jastremski acknowledged that in 20 years with the Patriots, heâ??d never previously met with Brady in the QB room. He said the meeting lasted a few minutes and did not discuss anything relating to the mounting investigation of game balls. Brady recalls requesting the meeting with Jastremski because he was already preparing for the Super Bowl and wanted to know the game balls would be prepared. He acknowledged the deflation investigation may have come up during the meeting.

Indeed, as was this:
America’s dumbest and most entertaining human, being dumb and entertaining. To fit a variation on the “think of the children line” (notice how many times he says “kids”) into a diatribe that ends with flexing and shouting “deez nuts” – it’s like poetry.

Oh lord that was funny.
Zero fucks given about deflategate
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Cowboys have signed La’el Collins! Our line is young and really freaking talented. This might turn out to be the best O-Line in Cowboys history!
Granted Gregory is a risk, but if he can stay on the field and out of trouble he is a first round talent. We got 3 first round talent players with one first round pick and a second rounder.
I give the Cowboys off-season an A+

So is McFadden going get the bulk of the carries since they didnt draft a rb or will Randle try to steal some from him?

I see what you did there. I think camp will determine the starters. They still might add another veteran back.

Honestly the only one who worry’s me truly is Hardy.
Gregory is young and I think JJ has shown some ability with getting guys on the right track, yes Dez and Randel had some issues, but they were very short lived and we hear nothing about them now. The kid from LSU is just fucked from a bad situation, already asked my partners in Baton Rouge and the kid is not a suspect and no one thinks he had anything to do with it.
