I am telling you, Gore had a performance enhancing Alien in his calf (second pic in the article I linked has a great closeup)

I honestly think both fines are BS. Goodell did not get what he wanted with the bountygate, so he is trying to solidify his power by being stern.

Let the guys play.

Franks socks did not give an unnecessary advantage, The alien organism in his leg is another matter.

Easy, the cleated shoes was aimed at the crotch of a dodging defender. It was intentional. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DomVUdZJIM

I can't help you with the sock issue.

I think he was more speaking on how Gore got a higher fine for not having his socks up, there is pics in my (link) post a few up, I am too lazy to host them.

Gore got a 10.5k fine for not having his red socks pulled up to his knees, and had his legs (calfs) showing, college style, while Brady got 10k for (allegedly)trying to remove someones testicles.

Gore got unfairly attacked, for a petty reason, was his point, I believe.

I do not think he is was defending Brady, though I kinda was. ;)

soopaman:

I know he was comparing. :up: I said I could not help him with the socks. :haha: But, maybe the fine should be higher for Brady than the sock debacle? :hmmm: The sock issue is, well, stupid. :88)

There is no defending Brady. Just my opinion of the guy.

Bradys fine was fair, I believe a Niner LB caught a 10k for a helmet to helmet against the Packers, and it was fair. Bradys offense was less than a somewhat late helmet shot.

The socks was silly, and it coincided well with Sean Payton being back, and pretty much loved by everyone in and out of New Orleans.

My opinion, this is Goodell trying to show how much of a "disciplinarian" he is, and how he "don't take no crap"

Broadway melodramatics.

I think with the sock issue was the fact he was wearing a pair of Hello Kitty with pom-pom.

When I saw this sunday it looked like he was defending himself from that defensive player falling on him to try nd disloge the ball like they do over and over on the poor recievers.

He should ask for a review ... this man Goodell is going to far in his assumptions.

Two problems with that geetrue, roughing the QB is not rewarded. Yards are losted for the penalty. Second, shoe to the crotch is never considered a defensive move no matter how you cut it. IMO Brady knew exactly what he was doing. The text to Reed apologizing would indicate he did.

Different sport but in soccer they actually teach goalies when covering the ball on the ground to do this. To put your leg up to discourage a defender from coming in to make a play on the ball. My son is a goalie..

The call against Brady was correct, not a typical quarterback slide that he made.

This girl made Adrian Petersen an orange peanut to sign :rotfl2::

I still don't know what to make of this maneuver.

2013 Pro bowl in Hawaii live right now

NBC 4:15 pm pst

What's a pro bowl?:haha:

Its like flag football, but without the flags.

So I looked into this "pro bowl" that Geetrue was talking about last night. (I totally forgot about it until he mentioned it:haha:) It took the NFL network ~20 before they even mentioned it last night. They weren't showing the score at the bottom of the screen.

Come to find out, the NFC won and Kyle Rudolph was MVP.:/\\k:
