    You're better than this... Cassel also took an abysmal KC team to an AFC West title 2 years after his NE run. Current allegations aside, Brady is a very, very talented NFL QB. Calling him a system QB is silly. Look what Brady did with an entire squad of rookies when Gronk, Vereen, Amendola, the other RB i can't remember, and somebody else where all hurt a couple years ago. With big Jim at the helm I don't seem them beating PIT, BUF, or DAL. I see them beating JAX after starting off 0-2. Blount is also suspened for 2? games which leaves them even thinner. Seems unlikely he gets a ban with his new lawyer team anyway and, unfortunately, as of now, there is no real "proof" he did anything that we know of.
  2. Your insults have lost steam as of late. I'd even go as far as saying there are....deflated.
  3. And so it begins! One source texted ESPN's Adam Schefter saying he thinks Tom Brady's four-game suspension could be overturned altogether. Another source described the legal team Brady is putting together for his appeal as "unreal." It's made up of a load of experienced lawyers, including Jeffrey Kessler. Many believe Brady at least has a better than even chance to have his suspension reduced. "I don't think the Patriots are going to go quietly into the night," Schefter said. "I think this story is just getting started." Deflategate still has months to go, but smart money is on Brady not serving his full four-game ban.
  4. It's called stroking a jig. It mimics dying bream/bluegill/baitfish w/e. it's generally done in deep water but i've found it equally effective in shallow water.
  5. Hopefully by the EDIT tag at the top, you've figured it out! I'm not an outboard wizard so I won't pretend to know what it is but if i had to guess, my first assumption would have been low oil as well. It's imperative to keep up on that. I'm sure others can give you more pin point advice. As for the switch, is it a kill switch? If you pull it, the entire boat will shut down. They are a safety feature that attaches to the lever, then to a cord, then attached to your life vest/belt/someplace on you so if you are ejected from the boat during an accident while moving, the boat will shut down. every boat should have one if possib
  6. hanks bait and tackle waterloo, ia
  7. Dobyns 705cb Glass Daiwa T3B /w 90mm handle 6:3:1 14# Suffix 21 I don't throw jerkbaits on the same set up.
  8. who cares..? you won a free rod and reel. if you don't like it, sell it. win win situation.
  9. As much as the patriots deserve this penalty as a whole, I have a feeling the suspension will either be overturned or shortened for Brady. I didn't take the time to read the incredibly long Wells report but from what i've gathered, and correct me if I'm wrong, there is nothing that outright says Brady did what he's being accused of...only that it is "more probable than not he was at least generally aware of what was going on." and there were a lot of text messages between the 3. With how awful the NFL is at billing out the correct disciplinary action, it's really hard to see Brady not winning his appeal he just filed unless there's some concrete evidence we don't know about. Might be an interesting week Tom Brady will appeal his four-game DeflateGate suspension. "The discipline is ridiculous and has no legitimate basis," Brady's agent Don Yee said. "In my opinion, this outcome was pre-determined; there was no fairness in the Wells investigation whatsoever. There is no evidence that Tom directed footballs be set at pressures below the allowable limits. ... We will appeal, and if the hearing officer is completely independent and neutral, I am very confident the Wells Report will be exposed as an incredibly frail exercise in fact-finding and logic. The NFL has a well-documented history of making poor disciplinary decisions that often are overturned when truly independent and neutral judges or arbitrators preside." There's a pretty good chance Brady's suspension will be reduced.
  10. Just noticed if his 4 game suspension is upheld, he returns week 6 (week 4 bye) against none other than.....the Colts IN INDY,
  11. Mr. Kraft.. "The league has also stripped New England of its 2016 first-round pick and a fourth-rounder in 2017, in addition to fining the franchise $1 million."
  12. Rocks will definitely do that to Balsa squarebills. I'm a huge fan of Balsa and fish them a lot but they are something I just do not fish through rocks/boulders.
  13. I use fire orange and neon yellow mono for walleye in the early spring and fall when the water is the clearest it is/will be all year. Walleye's eye sight is far greater than that of a Bass. You'll be fine.
  14. It's a Balsa bait. If you accidentally cast it on top of a rock or anything hard it can and will break like pictured if hit hard enough. Also, slapping balsa baits on the water clearing weeds will all but certainly have the same outcome. It's the nature of the beast /w balsa baits.
  15. Wow....that's steeper than I thought I would be....no individual penalty for Belichick or the two assistants or maybe more is coming? NFL suspended Patriots QB Tom Brady four games for league violations tied to his role in DeflateGate. The league has also stripped New England of its 2016 first-round pick and a fourth-rounder in 2017, in addition to a $1 million fine. it's an incredibly steep punishment for the organization. Brady figures to appeal his ban, which could result in a reduction to two or three games.
  16. x2 i throw them into some nasty stuff and that hook works good
  17. lol,no..that isn't worth it. The sheer on most decent pliers are sharp enough to cut braid. if you really want a separate tool, go to a Menards/Lowe's/maybe wal mart and pick up a 3.99 pair of westinghouse titanium scissors (the small pair) super sharp and when they dull, toss em and get a new pair.
  18. years. if the backing knot comes through on the cast, time to change.
  19. hold the bottom twist them around a couple times pull until tight when twisted let go
  20. Sounds more like wishful thinking from Indy fans than anything. Belichick will get at most a fine for "ignorance" as they have no proof he had anythung to do with it. I can see the two assistants getting fired/banned. I see brady getting 1-2 games max unless the nfl drops the hammer. Then i see 6 at most. That basically ruins their season anyway. Doubt any draft picks are taken away but i wouldnt be surprised if they penalize them with their past in mind.
  21. Brady to be suspended next week.. Patriots are bracing themselves for a 6-8 game ban but 2 game is more likely. ALL ABOARD THE JIMMY GAROPPOLO TRAIN!!!
  22. I have my spool tension set /w just a hair of side to side play and 1 white brake on. My least favorite reel
  23. I get your point but you aren't comparing apples to apples. Yes, it would be news, there would be be penalties and it would be talked about but in a different light. Even if all crimes committed were equal between the two teams, one of them potentially cheated their way into a Super Bowl trophy which 100% deserves a stiffer penalty. Its going to be a bigger story and embarrass the league being they did so and won the Super Bowl. Obviously both would be talked about in a different way...especially when one of them is notorious for getting caught cheating.
  24. Found this online... http://www.blackbearsportinggoods.com/Keelguard_6ft_Ltgry_p/ellmega20606.htm?click=12 That's 50% off MSRP...am I missing something here or is that just a killer deal?
