    I don't think Heinz Field in Pittsburgh is particularly difficult to get in and out of, though the traffic is a pain at just about every stadium.

    I didn't think Cleveland was bad, either, the one time I attended a game there.

    To be fair, I wouldn't lump all city driving together. There is a very large difference between driving in Pittsburgh or Cleveland and driving in New York.

    I don't think the NFL is out to get the Steelers, but does Goodell have an issue with Harrison? That's a fair question.

    Keep telling yourself that, fanboy.

    Tell us what you believe to be concrete evidence.

    He says it's been mentioned numerous times on this board and he's not going to go into it again. How about the cliff notes version? Give me just ONE quick hitter that's irrefutable. I bet you can't.

    I have no doubt that they deflated the balls but the proof to warrant a suspension is not there.

    We are about to get OOP's schoolyard tactic of "if you don't know the answer I'm not giving it to you". It's what he does when he's cornered.

    About 20 years ago I flew into Boston and hailed a cab. We get no more than half a mile outside the airport and traffic comes to a complete stop on a road that's under construction. The cabbie sits there patiently for 30 seconds, then yanks the steering wheel to the left, maneuvers through the cones and starts driving on the sidewalk. My eyes must have been as big as frisbees. Thankfully he went only 100 yards or so, to a point where he could make a turn to get out of the backup. Took me the rest of the afternoon to get my heart rate back to normal.

    It has. I'm more than happy to discuss the current situation, but I'm not wasting my time looking up evidence that has been posted on this board many, many times which I know the fanboys won't accept anyway.

    I have given the answer, as have others, many times. The fanboys won't accept it. The actual ruling and punishment are on my side.

    Gator, go back and find all of the evidence that has been presented on this board and refute it. You want to bring up the old dispute that your side lost? Great. Dig up the evidence and prove why it was wrong. I bet you can't. Show me.

    So predictable.

    I'm not asking for another Wells Report. Because you're so certain, I'm asking for you to give me ONE piece of irrefutable evidence that proves the guilt. Just one. I'm not saying there wasn't anything fishy going on, because I do think staffers lowered the balls to the league minimum and science took care of the rest. Much like what the Steelers are currently dealing with. But the two-year witch hunt that ended with a four-game suspension without a shred of concrete evidence is, was always will be bullshit. And if the league decides it's through with investigating every claim of underinflated balls, that too is bullshit. They set this precedent, nobody else.

    Fanboys aren't just turning a blind eye. Not by a long shot. No fan base was closer to this situation than Patriots fans, many of whom actually took the time to read the Wells Report and find its shortcomings. Brady got suspended because he challenged the NFL and Goodell the Czar used Article 46 to put an end to that.
