    The silence on Rice from the worldwide leader is deafening.

    Yeah I'll say. They have a story up about Charles Haley shit-talking...which is fine. But in a world where Haley accusing someone of cheating is a story, then someone ADMITTING to cheating has to be one too. And this is cheating. What on earth was Rice thinking admitting this? We all know it was legal in the 70's and the Raiders (and probably others) took full advantage. But it was banned in 1981. BANNED.

    Actually it's funny that Rice of all people would criticize the Patriots because he IS the Patriots. My knock on the Patriots isn't so much that they cheat, but they're so good that don't even need to! I've compared to that time the actress Winona Ryder got caught stealing clothes. What for? She could afford it. Why videotape the JETS' handsignals? They suck. You don't need to do that. Well that goes tenfold for Rice. He's the greatest ever with or without stickum...but he chose "with"....and for some reason admitted it. Dumbass. Like Marshall Faulk and many others that I loved watching when they played, Rice became a total douche as a so-called analyst and I'm happy to see him knee-deep in shit here.

    I thought the 1994 Niners were in violation of everything the Broncos were and then-some but they're not mentioned in that article. I could be wrong though. Anyway, those teams come from the pre-social-media, pre-"jaded people who want to see others fail and/or be disgraced" era that we're living in now so they get a pass....as Rice is.

    Yeah Carmen Policy and Dwight Clark were later fined, Niners during their run circumvented the salary cap on numerous occasions.

    ETA: Here's an article from 2000 comparing how light the 49ers got off compared to NBA's T'Wolves:

    Yes, but we have to go through it every year to appreciate football when it's on.

    could be wrong but i think there was technically a scheduling conflict last year....ultimately i think the nfl just wants to have the one of the biggest stories of each month of their off season

    Many of the dopes from my favorite network have descended on Indy.

    Jameis doesn't need to throw.....he probably doesn't even have to lie....the Bucs seem to want him.

    This whole "will he throw at the combine?" thing is ridiculous. The guy is going to throw either at the combine or at his pro day so who gives a fuck which one it is??? I love the NFL, but you can keep all of this combine bullshit.

    They ran a very strange "smoking gun" story relating to DeflateGate that featured no such smoking gun...and then Adam Schefter called in and blew the whole thing up on live TV. It was glorious.
