Let's hit the gym and "deflate" some weight

[Mr. Scot]

This is like watching "Abbott and Costello form a defense"
 

 

MacKinnon may not have a relationship with the Patriots, but, as Noah Gray of Nature magazine pointed out on Thursday afternoon, he has one with the team’s owners. MacKinnon is the “scientific co-founder” and co-chair of the Scientific Advisory Board of a company called Flex Pharma that counts The Kraft Group among its investors.

Elsewhere in their response to the report, the Patriots raise the issue of the longstanding relationship between the NFL and Wells’ law firm Paul Weiss. They suggest that it would have been “appropriate” to be clearer about the nature of that relationship in a report that found no fault with the way the league handled the matter.

“Such disclosures would help the public better assess the findings regarding League conduct, of which there is not a single critical comment or single suggestion for improvement in the report. No one should take calls for such disclosure personally.”

It seems the same could be said of the Patriots’ level of disclosure when it comes to MacKinnon, something they acknowledged by updating their introduction to reflect the Kraft Group’s “passive investment” in Flex Pharma as part of a “syndicated investment group.”

Meanwhile...

 

If these two guys are innocent, why are they fired?
 

But through all the chapter and verse they’ve cited to explain the true motives of Jim McNally and John Jastremski in this document, one question becomes more and more curious.

If these two guys are so innocent, why did the Patriots fire them?

In the league’s initial release on the Patriots’ punishment, it is made clear who did what to whom.

“Patriots owner Robert Kraft advised commissioner Roger Goodell last week that Patriots employees John Jastremski and James McNally have been indefinitely suspended without pay by the club, effective on May 6th,” the league’s release last week read.

So, these two guys are completely misunderstood, a pair of hapless innocents who didn’t want to get busted for lifting shoes and just wanted to drop a few pounds.

Why then would the Patriots move so quickly and decisively to distance themselves?

Perhaps that can be the next installment of the Patriots’ blog.

NFL sort of lashes out and is uneven in their punishments

[RickyManningJr]

Hey, Dex, is deflate some Yankee term for weight loss? Like pop is a Yankee term for soda?

Are Seahawks fans considered yankees?

Funny thing is they would be calling for heads to roll if it was anyone else...

Anything north of I-40 is considered Yankee.

Word now that the appeal will be heard by...Roger Goodell.

No doubt this'll be entertaining to watch, but I can't escape the feeling that this has "MCF' written all over it.
