Lol, the NFL site's homepage has 8 news headlines. 5 of those are about Newton and the Patriots. The very last one is about the punishment for cheating. You think Belichick might be a master at damage control?

A master? No. The dude has a full doctorate. The Trump campaign should hire him.

The timing of the announcement is obvious. But if they hired Newton due to anything other than his ability to play at a high level, that has fail all over it.

3rd strike cheating usually means you're out. But no,, not for BB

Good for you Dodgers. Keep at it.



Dear Asstros, unless the ball actually hits your head, take you base and shut up.

I wouldn't agree with head hunting on a mid 90's fastball. But drilling them in the ribs? Yeah, I'm all for that.

I remember pitching when I was young. I hit the first batter in the ankle bone and he was a very good base stealer. But it swelled up so much he couldn't take off. Legs are little harder to aim at but if you hit them right it can slow them down. I was notorious for hitting batters back then but it was rarely on purpose. At least most the time. I didn't mind them wondering though.

I do have to question how much intent was in Kelly's head. He was having a heck of a time controlling the fast ball. The one over Correa's head was a breaking ball. If you're trying to hit a guy with a breaking ball you heart isn't in it.

Yeah, doesn't make much sense that a guy who can hit 100 mph would drop down in the '80's to send a message. Maybe he's smart and got away with it because of that but it doesn't seem like a true message pitch.

8 freakin' games for what Kelly did? And people wonder why I have no faith left in sports leagues and have lost almost any interest in watching them.

Yeah that's ridiculous. Cheating in a World Series NBD... :twisted2:

Funny I thought this thread was going to be about the Patriots.
