Isn't it believed by many that Edelman's positive test was related to his treatment from Alex Guerrero, who is also Tom Brady's personal health guru?

Guilt by speculation and association?

It's my understanding that basically every qb who commented on deflate gate said it wasn't a big deal, and they all adjusted the pressure to their own personal preference. Rodgers would have the balls over inflated because they were easier to grip.

It's also my understanding the nfl "investigation" turned up no evidence the balls had actually been deflated and that scientists proved the difference in pressure could have naturally occurred due to change in temperature.

Other than that...

You could roll a bowling ball out there and Brady would win.

Who whispered this:

'My kingdom for a good masking agent'

Was it:

A.) Barry Bonds & Roger Clemens

or

B.) Roger Clemens & Barry Bonds

or

C.) Both (A) & (B)


Spoiler Alert: A,B & C are ALL true!

I would have to say "(D) All of the above are wrong". When did Roger ever fail a PED test?

As I understand it there was no real evidence against Clemens other than the word of his trainer. And he had some serious credibility issues. Unless there is more to the story I haven't heard I don't think that should be enough to keep him out of the HOF.

Don't let facts get in the way of a good story :-)
