    Not a single video from Brown since the incident. He either knows he screwed up on his own or got torn a new one.

    What is Tomlin supposed to say? We are gonna go to NE, and lose to those nice young men? F that! Some of you act as if you have never played competitive sports. I played basketball for many years, in some very competitive places all around, and not once would we think or believe we were gonna take a loss. We'd talk crap to the other guys the day before, during, and after. Nobody ever had to get us ready for a game, so it doesn't matter what MT says. My issue with AB is there is a TEAM meeting, and he's around the corner. Use those hands to catch that TD, and put down your cell.

    Antonio Cromartie called Brady an a--- before the 2011 playoff and the Jets won. Maybe it's a good thing.....

    Ike said he fully expects Tomlin to institute a no phone policy in team meetings and film study. He said he didn't think he'd go so far as to limit them from the locker room but he thinks there will for sure be ramifications internally from this.

    Yeah when I saw that I laughed like crazy. I actually think he has an awesome sense of humor. Really dry and dismissive. Almost like Steven Wright who I find really hilarious. If people think Tomlin says nothing to the press then man they really should check out how Bill talks to them. He has literally mastered the art of saying nothing. It's odd that the media has such a love affair with the guy because he clearly just makes fun of them constantly and pretty much never answers a single question.

    Now the question is, can they make it 10 in a row?

    I got to see some of our boys bare chests and butts. :D

    Seriously, I'm a female. Yes, it's true. Boys will be boys and I don't really need to see nor want to know what goes on in a men's locker room. I think that should remain sacred amongst teammates.

    Antonio should have been present for Tomlin's speech, alongside Ben, and practicing what Ben was preaching.

    With that being said, I do think the media is making far too much of this, but that's what they do to generate clicks, ratings, likes, shares, etc.

    Antonio needs to stop with all the selfishness and focus on how to catch some of those balls that slip through his fingers.

    Like Lady Steel, I appreciated the chests and asses in towels. :D

    Frankly, I don't care what AB does as long as we win. If he shows up and does what we need, there is no issue.

    AB has to settle down, we know their are a lot of fish to fry for him but as Lady Steel says
    the locker room is not one of them. People you do realize AB is paid a tidy some from Face book, I believe a quarter of a million dollars/year. It's not the right place AB stop it.

    If you see this as such a big deal, you're pointing your anger at the wrong person. TOMLIM if anyone should be taking the blame for the simple fact that he clearly had absolutely no ground rules for this kind of thing.

    Again, I don't see it as a huge deal. But if you're gonna be pissed at anyone, it should be Tomlin for not establishing any official rule on it. If there's some kind of rule where he doesn't mind as long as it's not during his speech, then AB needs to suck it up and make a public apology because in that case hes making Tomlin look like the guy without rules

    You know, AB was wrong for what he did. But, the Patriots are what Tomlin called them. From cheating, video taping, deflategate, winning all the time, etc. What an embarrassing organization. If you need to do that stuff to win games, then what does that tell you? They need to get there act together and play the right way. Even then, they still win all the time. Every team in the league either hates or is jealous of the Patriots. Wouldn't you be jealous of the Patriots if they kept winning all the time? If I was a Patriots fan, which I'm not and will never be, I would be happy that our team won 4 Super Bowls with Brady.

    I'm glad that I'm young because once Brady retires, he will be in the HOF and a new heir will take his place. I hope this team sinks and opens up the door for other teams to win a SB.

    Their 4 SB wins:

    Patriots vs. Rams
    Patriots vs. Panthers
    Patriots vs. Eagles
    Patriots vs. Seahawks

    The Rams and Seahawks already won a SB. The Panthers and Eagles lost to Brady and this is why they don't have a ring yet. Those 2 games against the Panthers and Eagles came within 3 points of tying the game. That was their best chance at winning a SB.

    What can I say, the Patriots keep winning, but when Brady retires, does that changes everything? Is Garoppolo the answer?

    We will find out when Brady hangs up his cleats...

    At this point, I do wonder if Brown's play will be affected.

    Would it be wrong to want the same treatment from the Women's US volleyball team? :rolleye:

    Right! The usual "f" precursor to a*******s that people usually use when describing the Pats was left off by Tomlin. VERY respectful IMO.

    I completely disagree. these are grown ass men. they don't need to have rules telling them not to video a locker room. they have grew up in them. so tomlin is suppose to go around and make sure that these men are all paying attention to what the HEAD coach is saying after a playoff win?

    We all need rules. All the time. Grown up or not...in fact, in my experience, it's the "grown ups" who tend to act worse than kids.

    There was a rule in place. Brown violated it according to Tomlin. He'll be punished both by the team and by the league.

    If this is true, why did Tomlin condone it the week prior by making an appearance in AB's vid?
