    If only there was some clues or history of Belichick and the Pats cheating, maybe this wouldn't feel like a sucker punch from left field........

    Spikes said he disagreed with the assessment of the injury not that they falsified injuries...

    Right, he said he wanted to play through the injuries. However, if you look at what Talib said about his injuries with the Pats, they flat out lied. They said he had a hip issue, Talib claims he hasn't had a hip issue since he left Tampa.

  5. Talib does have motive to lie, not saying that he is. The problem is that because of the Patriots past record they do not get the benefit of doubt.

    They are not above cheating and BB has a history of mocking the injury report.

    Assuming that the report is true for a moment:

    BB put players on the list to manipulate his roster slots and to discipline players. What is the appropiate penalty for being guilty of those things?

    Should past history be taken into account and this be considered a repeat offense?

    I always got a kick out of reading their injury reports leading up to games.

    I'd be curious to see if this doesn't also affect the game planning and preparation of their opponents.

    No, they have video cameras to counter that.

    What is his motivation to lie honestly? To get back at the Patriots? I don't see it.
     
  10. He is a FA and may want to downplay his injury history

    Talib is not a FA and he wasn't when this article was written.

    Like FinD said, he was already officially signed when he said that.

    I think the commissioner has a soft spot for the patriot owner Bob Kraft so he lets a lot of embarrassing things go. They should have been stripped of those SB wins after the cheating scandal. And to even destroy the tapes before other owners/media could see how bad it was is completely wrong.
