RUSH: Oh, we got a flash: "Patriots Will Not Appeal Deflategate Decision." You know, there have been all kinds of secret meetings going on over the past 24 hours between Goodell and Robert Kraft, between the NFL and the Patriots. The sports media was starting to get breathing heavy, thinking that some sort of compromise had been reached. Because in the Drive-By Media, their template/their narrative is that Goodell is a jerk, that Goodell does nothing but screw up every time he hands out this penalties. And that Goodell therefore knows he's a jerk, and Goodell knows he screwed up...

Pre-ordained findings: Endeavor to get to the bottom of this, Brady will be totally vindicated. The same can't be said for Roger Goodell and Ted Wells, who appear to have been motivated here by anything, everything except the truth I know a lot of you are absolutely convinced that Tom Brady cheated his way to the Super Bowl by flagrantly directing the illegal deflation of footballs that were used in the AFC Championship Game against the Colts, and that the Patriots’ 45-7 win in that game was tainted by Brady’s better grip on the balls as a result of the...

An N.F.L. investigation has found that “it is more probable than not” that New England Patriots personnel intentionally deflated footballs to gain an advantage in the A.F.C. championship game last season, and that Tom Brady, the Super Bowl most valuable player, was probably aware of it. No penalties have been announced. The long-awaited report into so-called deflategate, released on Wednesday, concluded that it was probable that Patriots personnel were “involved in a deliberate effort to circumvent the rules.” The report said that Jim McNally, a locker room attendant, and John Jastremski, an equipment assistant, released air from the footballs. It...

I am really saddened and disappointed with what is going on these days at Little Green Footballs, one of my favorite places to hang around-until today. The anti-Christian crusade started by Charles Johnson took proportions I would have never ever dreamed in my worst nightmares. Read on

Friday, May 26, 2006 A Death Threat from Reuters (Bumped) See below for important updates... Early yesterday morning at about 3:00 am on the West Coast, someone in Sweden Britain connected to the Internet and browsed over to this article at the Guardian by Inayat Bunglawala, media secretary of the Muslim Council of Britain: This code could open doors. Bunglawala’s piece (about the Da Vinci Code) is in the section of the Guardian site where readers can comment, and someone posted a link to LGF as a rebuttal to Bunglawala. Our Swedish British visitor clicked that link, leading him/her/it to...

Anyone know if LGF is experiencing another Denial of Service attack from the muslims again today?

Who are the biggest nerds in the world? Why, word-nerds, of course! I thought I'd seen the deconstruction of the Rathergate debacle covered from every possible angle. But then I clicked on Etherhouse.com where the story was told thrice again, but this time in the form of anagrams of Instapundit, Little Green Footballs, and Powerlineblog."
