Some of the comments suspicious of the Patriots are to be expected. Then there ones like this, which are completely disconnected from reality:I really wanted to enjoy this thread, but it just makes me sad:

Pat's will lift the trophy again in February. Kraft and Goodell...at it again.
call mahomes sideshow bob from the simpsonsHoly shit Chiefs fans suck. They know they can’t criticize the Pats without being huge hypocrites wrt Tyreek. So they defend him by saying it was bad journalism and his baby mama extorting him. Incredible the mental gymnastics people are willing to do just to hate the Pats. I love it
Who was treated poorly?The way I see it, the benign -and likeliest- version is that this is a guy who has some serious mental issues. If this is the case, it's hard to see how the Pats curtail the sort of behavior he's displayed over the past couple of months.
The malign version is that he orchestrated all of this to get out of his contract. This seems far-fetched to me, but if that's the case, that dude - great receiver or not- is a Grade A asshole. No one deserves to be treated like that.
We ll see.
The Raiders, maybe, but who cares about them?Who was treated poorly?

C'mon Man, 10 National Championships in 12 years, 7 in a row, 4 undefeated seasons in an era when sports boosters like Gilbert ran amuck at many Div.I programs...Wooden was a brilliant coach and this was an unmatched dynasty. But, we digress.Sam Gilbert would like one with you.
The Raiders and Gruden and their GM. I know people shit on them, but I sort of like the guy and I feel sorry for him bending over backwards trying to salvage what was a major acquisition for him. Either way even the Raiders -incompetent or not- don't deserve that shitshow they endured.Who was treated poorly?
I assume we’ll determine how much sympathy Gruden and Mayock deserves when we see how Brown does under Bill. Gruden touts himself as this great motivator as men, so if he couldn’t Jedi mind trick AB, then lolboohoo.The Raiders and Gruden and their GM.

And you know, if Brown orchestrated this, it's a little bit like getting together with a woman who cheated on her boyfriend to be with you. Yeah, maybe it's a one time thing for her, or you don't want a long-term relationship with her (whioh is the apt analogy for the Pats in this situation), but chances are that a person who behaves that way towards another will also behave that way towards you. You may point out that it's a one time thing for the Pats and a a move with no downside for the Pats, and that maybe true, but that won't change the fact that Brown behaved like a grade A asshole.
what? the McGinest instagram is probably some ceremony with a bunch of ex-Pats.Dear lord the Pats could lose 2000-0 tomorrow but if Gronk is coming back... jesus
Probably. But if “news drops tomorrow night” means more..........what? the McGinest instagram is probably some ceremony with a bunch of ex-Pats.
It cost them a third and fifth, and you can recover from that easily enough. Nobody appreciates being abused, but the Raiders are better off than they were 24 hours ago.I assume we’ll determine how much sympathy Gruden and Mayock deserves when we see how Brown does under Bill.

I do feel for the Raider fans though. I always liked that team, and they looked like a burgeoning dynasty before Carr’s injury a couple years ago.
Lifetime ban. I wonder if they deleted the 8 or so posts I snuck in.Y’all weren’t lying about the Chiefs forum. It’s hilarious
Young Pats fans need to type "Drew Bledsoe" into Youtube. We don't get to SB36 without him. Pittsburgh fans knows this.I know Willie is probably playing with us, but man seeing Tom Brady like this post really has me dreaming.

I straight up cackled like the friggin joker for a good 10 minutes when I first found out.Sorry for game threading but this is stupid and I’ve been cackling so much over the last 4 hours. I’m so happy.
I still am. Tomorrow night going to be a friggin party.I straight up cackled like the friggin joker for a good 10 minutes when I first found out.
THIS guy gets it.I mean, if he somehow causes the Pats to go 9-7 and miss the playoffs, today was still worth it.
Antonio is also a good punt returnerI can't imagine what cap gymnastics Bill is going through right now. he needs to free like 9M in cap space, right?
also wouldn't be surprised if Meyers is squeezed out just because Gunner can PR all season. but I was also on the "didn't want Brown even at zero cost" train, so I don't know what Jedi Bill will do.
Gonna be hard to do when Brady can’t throw it further than 5 yards.Damnit, TD Chiefs. KC 21 NE 17. Hope we can pull this out.
They’re a disciplined team. We’re gonna have to go out and take it from them. Can’t expect them to beat themselves.Damnit, TD Chiefs. KC 21 NE 17. Hope we can pull this out.
10 yards* show some respectGonna be hard to do when Brady can’t throw it further than 5 yards.
Sorry, too busy trolling to notice every little detail.10 yards* show some respect
Unfortunately, yes.Remember the times that Patriots wanted out of New England and go to Oakland?
