I only flipped back and forth to it through out the night and every time Brady came on the screen I called him an unkind name, loud.  It would just blurt out every time I saw him at the 1st game and not the 5th game of the season.

Thank goodness I live alone or I would be ashamed.

If he did I'm sure he's heard worse more than likely from his super model wife.  Rumor has it she swears like a truck driver.

The NFL is reportedly set to conduct a "thorough review" of the headset issues suffered by the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night during their season-opening loss to the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium.

 

Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette confirmed the league planned to look into the matter. Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports previously reported the Steelers became angrier because league officials didn't shut down the Patriots' communications while they attempted to fix the issue.

NFL spokesman Michael Signora has issued a statement on the matter, passed on by Conor Orr of the NFL's website: "Technological and stadium infrastructure issues of this type happen at many stadiums around the league and whenever there are issues of this nature, we do a thorough review."

It's gossip and inuendo that ruins games and sore losers looking for a reason why their team did not win. Here is the official release and we should leave it at that:

 

The statement from NFL spokesman Michael Signora is below.

“In the first quarter of tonight’s game, the Pittsburgh coaches experienced interference in their headsets caused by a stadium power infrastructure issue, which was exacerbated by the inclement weather.  The coaches’ communications equipment, including the headsets, is provided by the NFL for both clubs use on game day.  Once the power issue was addressed, the equipment functioned properly with no additional issues.”

NBC sideline reporter Michele Tafoya added on Thursday’s broadcast that the communications issue was with Pittsburgh’s coach-to-coach headsets and that New England’s headsets were shut off while the situation was being resolved. Apparently, that’s the normal procedure for such malfunctions.@Just4Me, I don't believe it was complaining about why their team didn't win as much as the shenanigans again from the Patriots.  And I find it amusing when someone makes a comment on a thread and then tells everyone else, "We should leave it at that."  Basically telling the posters the topic is not to be discussed and don't discuss this anymore.


And I love the sore losers comment. Maybe the playing field would be even if every other team in the NFL cheated like the Patriots. 


And you really think other teams don't cheat?? Believe in the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy?

Last night the NFL kicked off the 2015 season with a Steelers vs Patroits game at the patroits home stadium. And guess what - about half way into the first quarter - all the Steelers communications devices went out of commission and instead started playing some Patroits ad. Of course this did not happen to the patroits communication devices. 

The Steelers lost - not because of this but more becauuse of bad decisions on Ben Roethlisber's part and a terrible terrible terrible kicker. But just wanted to note -- the cheating continues.


Cheating????? Oh please give it a rest!!! The NFL provided the headsets....just let us enjoy the season...just silly....


I don't care one way or the other about last night's game but the NFL also has rules about the game balls and they must be submitted by each team a certain time prior to the games, to be weighed.  But that didn't stop game balls from being deflated.   


Brady was deemed innocent...no ball boys testified that they were directed to do so....the officials were to check the balls and they did not do their jobs...deflate gate is over.....

Not for a minute am I upset that the Steelers lost last night so don't think I am moaning about their loss. What I am saying is why are there so many bad things going on with the New England team????  Good sportsmanship is what I am talking about.

Many things go on with many teams but the Patriots get called out because they are the best...with Brady out maybe some other lesser team would be best...not fair for fans of the game.  If people want to be deluded that their teams don't look for an advantage, you are not watching football.
