Apparently the Patriots were abusing and breaking league rules in a different way. I was just watching NFL Live on ESPN (don't ask) and they were reporting on accusations of the Shitriots placing people in IR (injured reserve) and forcing them to practice. Not only could the Patriots have been reprimanded, the players themselves could've been punished as well. They had some former Patriots player on there describing what was going on and what he saw first hand. I don't remember his name to be honest. Once again, I am not surprised. The Patriots doing something illegal? No way!

Kelvin Hayden signing today...

Kenton Keith: Piss off!

KingRichard — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 10:11:43 -0000

Welp, he's had his chance to prove himself to the Colts, and failed miserably. According to every news station in Indianapolis, Kenton Keith was arrested along with his underage friend for being a dumbass.

Alright so yellowsnow, a few of our other friends and I go to Landsharks in BR to meet up with a friend. We are all drunk as hell and are dancing and stuff, and I look up at this massive, stacked black dude dancing on this stoop. I do a double take because I can't see straight. I tell yellowsnow and my other friend, "Dude that guy looks just like Robert Mathis!" We all start talking about it and looking at him so I say, "Fuck it I'm going to go ask him." So I walk up to his stoop thing, he notices me and I kind motion him to come here a second. I didn't actually think that was going to work be he walks over to me and I say, "Hey man I don't mean to bother you or anything but what's your name?" He says, "Robert." I'm like, "Robert Mathis?" He says, "Yeap..." oagjasjgapsjgpajgjtp In my head I'm screaming, "HOLY SHIT THIS IS AWESOME!" So I tell him, "Dude I love you man! The Colts are going to be so awesome next year!! I just wanted to come over and say we appreciate what you do and wanted to say good luck next year!" He says, "Thanks alot homie, we appreciate you guys too." So we shook hands, and he crushed my hand with his massive bearclaws. Then I walk over to my friends again and we start freaking out like a bunch of schoolgirls. So we continue the night, getting drinks and dancing. Eventually yellowsnow, another friend, and I go to get some shots of tequila and when we get back my other friend tells me that Robert waved him over and offered to take a shot with him. So he said they took a shot of vodka. So everyone was all jealous and whatnot and I called him a lucky bastard blah blah blah. So eventually we decide to all leave and get some food at Qdoba. As we are walking out, we all wave to him and shake his hand again and yellowsnow yells out, "Sack Tom Brady!" Robert replies with, "Already did twice!" hahahhaha My god that was so awesome. Then I yelled Go Colts! And we walked out. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

I know you are all jealous. :)

A little present for Stampede Blue

KingRichard — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 14:49:27 -0000

So I decided to make a little mockumentary of a few posters here on Stampede Blue. Generally, but not always, whenever someone posts enough, I get a mental image of who that person reminds me of. These ideas come from various things, mainly from tv shows and movies. Please don't take offense to this, it's all in good fun. So, without further ado, this is Stampede Blue on Brett Favre's retirement.

Big Blue Shoe (Peter Griffin): Hello my fellow Colts fans. Today, today is a sad day in the sports world. Our beloved Brett Favre, the face of the NFL, one we could all relate to on just about any level, has retired. But lets not forget how big of a complete and utter moron this guy was. What a joke! What was he thinking throwing that interception in OT of the NFC championship? Peyton Manning would never do that. This guy was nothing but a menace to society, a thorn in the Packers proverbial rear-end. The Packers are better off without him and time will prove it. I'm right, and you are wrong. You're just too big of an idiot to understand it, but that's ok. I won't hold it against you. It's like that time when I said Vince Young was a complete schmuck and draft bust. You remember that time? I do. It's almost like that time when I wanted Russ Purnell's neck in a noose. heheheheheheheh What a schmuck. I can't believe this world anymore. I mean, Sarah Jessica Parker's face looks like a foot for cryin out loud. What an idiot. hehehehehehehe

Rob L (Brick Tamland): LOUD NOISES!

Terry (George Bush/a rock): Words and stuff and stuff and words and stuff

shake n bake: [insert random statement that no one ever reads] [insert random link to something no one ever clicks on]

Rob L (Brick Tamland): LOUD NOISES!

Me: (bunch of drunk rambling about nothing at all with the occasional cuss word thrown in)

yellowsnow: dude...calm down...it's like, it's not that big of a deal you know? It's like...wait, what?

Rob L (Brick Tamland): LOUD NOISES!

Terry (George Bush/a rock): Words and stuff and stuff and words and stuff

MasterRWayne (Butthead): Uh huhuhuhuhuh, uh huhuhuhhuhuh shyaah, you just got banned. This rules! uh huhuhuh uh huhuhuhuhuh

(commence celebration)

Monkey Business (Billy Madison): I'm the smartest man alive!

bluegirl: ........nothing...i...say...ever...makes...sense...so...just...quote...bbs...and...post...it...here. ................................

mgrex03 (Ninja): Ruh roh, I just divided by zero. /endofworld

And that's pretty much a Stampede Blue discussion in a nutshell. If you weren't mentioned in this epic post, then you don't have any habits or odd quirks that stood out enough for me to make fun of. So obviously you need to start acting cooler like me and not like Terry.

Jason Taylor

KingRichard — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 05:00:27 -0000

Hear me out before you dismiss this as just another Colts fan freaking out because someone is a free agent.

I mentioned a while ago that Jason Taylor would probably end up asking for a trade from the Phins since they are rebuilding and he only has a few more good years left. Welp, it's come. Not only that, but I find it fairly obvious that the Colts would benefit greatly from a third stud defensive end to rotate with Mathis and Freeney so they can stay fresh through a game and the season. Taylor is a pretty amazing DE and can even drop back in coverage showing his versatility and athetlic ability. Now if the Colts picked up Tyler Brayton (assuming he's pretty good), the d-line would be downright badass imo.

I think the main concerns the Colts should worry about in the draft is another receiver in the second round, followed be a bigger run blocking tight end (or they could even pick up Kyle Brady who was cut from the Pats). Then they'll probably go defense like yellowsnow and I believe.

Either way, Taylor isn't past his prime, he's still in great shape and could bring alot to the defense.

Belichick denies, scoffs, apologizes, and denies some more.

KingRichard — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 12:47:12 -0000

Wow. That's about the only thing thought after I first read this article on ESPN. I was just completely dumbfounded by what Belichick and Pioli said. Some of the stuff they both said were the most absurd and ignorant statements; and my brain could barely stand it. I'm going to quote the article itself and comment on some of this, just because I have to. Here's the link btw http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3251081.

Let it be known if you didn't read the article prior to reading my response; Belichick and Pioli's respones are based solely the accusations concerning Super Bowl 36 against the Rams. So then, lets begin.

"In my entire coaching career, I've never seen another team's practice film prior to playing that team," Belichick told the newspaper Sunday.

Orly? In your entire coaching career you've never seen another team's practice film? Here's a stupid question for you Belichick: What on earth makes you think anyone actually believes that statement? I mean, you have been proven guilty of taping teams illegally for over 7 years, whether or not you've seen a team's "practice" film is a pretty moot argument. But that's not even the point. No one is accusing you of seeing another team's practice film. Honestly, you're correct to a degree. If you did infact obtain a copy of another team's practice, that would be considered theft because there is no way you would have obtained it otherwise. You would have had to infiltrate another team's property, find the location of their tapes and steal it Mission Impossible style. But we aren't talking about just a normal practice; in which you would be hundreds and hundreds of miles away from. Oh no, we're talling about the SUPER BOWL WALK-THROUGH. You know, the final practice of the season, in which you are a stones throw away from the other team, pretty much at all times. The problem with your statement Billy, is the fact that your assertion was so vague. You weren't accused of taping another team's practice; but now that we're on the subject, did you?

"I have never authorized, or heard of, or even seen in any way, shape, or form any other team's walk-through. We don't even film our own. We don't even want to see ourselves do anything, that's the pace that it's at. Regardless, I've never been a part of that."

-smacks his forehead- (you'll probably see me do this alot in this diary)

You don't film your own practice eh? Um...so? What does that have to do with anything. Even if you did, it's not illegal in context with NFL rules. Red herring much? Not too much, much too much (Ace Ventura quote: Check).

"Belichick also told the newspaper that in his "entire coaching career, I have never filmed a walk-through, our own. I've never been on a staff that has filmed a walk-through. I'm talking about when I was a head coach. As an assistant, I've never seen a head coach film a walk-through the day before a game."

Red herring. Ya, we get it Bill, you didn't film your own walk-through or practice, shut up.

"Pioli told the newspaper Matt Walsh was terminated in January 2003 after discovering Walsh secretly tape recording conversations between himself and Walsh. Pioli told the newspaper he learned of the recorded conversations because "two other employees saw him doing it, and I checked after, and heard it on the tape myself."

roflagoasgimgimerag

You fired him for what?! I WONDER WHERE HE GOT THE FRIGGIN IDEA TO TAPE CONVERSATIONS YOU NIMROD!

So, why was he taping the conversations? Better yet, what was on those tapes? They had to be some juicy conversations for him to record them and then end up getting fired for it as well. This entire situation is getting stranger by the minute. Reminds me of the Clemens-McNamee situation.

"Michael Levy, Walsh's lawyer, disputed Pioli's story on Sunday night and, after speaking with Walsh, called it a "complete fabrication."

"This is a predictable and pathetic effort to smear Mr. Walsh's character rather than confront the truth about the Patriots' conduct," Levy told the Globe."

Quoted for truth.

"Patriots spokesman Stacey James did not return phone calls or an e-mail seeking comment to The Associated Press on Sunday night."

Shocker indeed.

"He had come from video, so the first few months his job was to make highlight tapes of draft-eligible players, guys who were going to be free agents," Pioli said. "It's like the entry-level position that we have all the scouting assistants in. It's essentially the same job that I did 15 years ago, which was making copies, picking people up at the airport, data entry, more of the highlight tapes of the players, the draft-eligible guys."

"Pioli said Walsh was not an "area scout" for the Patriots and that his relationship with Pioli ended abruptly."

"The job he was doing, there were two other guys doing it, so essentially the work he was doing wasn't up to the same level as the other people, in my opinion. However, I found out he was secretly tape recording our conversations and he was fired," Pioli said. "There was never a confrontation. He was just released."

So, let me get this straight. Matt Walsh's job was to edit film of free agents and college prospects, makes copies, pick people up, and enters data. Sounds like a company bitch, the go to go for anything you need done. What Pioli was trying to do is claim that all Walsh does is work with film about "free agents, and college prospects" which obviously isn't the case. Trying to dumb down Walsh's contribution to the Patriots organization. The thing is, if I were working a company for over 7 or 8 years, and I still was "at an entry level position," I'd probably be really pissed. I would probably want to tape my phone conversations and hold onto film that could be used to screw over a bunch off hacks who treated me like crap too. I just find it extremely hard to believe that someone who was working in a company for so long was only an entry level person. You could work at McDonalds for 8 years and be farther up on the chain of command than Walsh was according to Pioli. Come on Belichick and Pioli, I like getting jerked off just as much as the next guy (by hawt chicks of course =P), but this is just unnecessary, and just makes you both look like complete tools.

"In the Globe report, Belichick discussed the league's taping rules and bristled at references to "Spygate," saying what the Patriots taped was in plain sight to the public."

Wow. That is Belichick's excuse for why he misinterpreted the NFL's rule on filming? Even though it clearly states where you can and can not tape? The fact that any Joe Shmoe could see it in plain sight, makes it ok? How the hell did Goddell allow this hack back into the friggin league? Seriously. This just further strengthens my disgust for Goddell and want his head on a pike even more. This is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. I'm more convinced now than ever that Goddell is a little weasel trying to cover this entire situation up so it doesn't affect his or the league pockets, and it really pisses me off. I'm just disgusted, and don't really know what else to say here. Here's a big Stampede Blue FU to Belichick, Pioli, and Goddell.

"On the tape of the signaling that we talk about, that film usually wasn't even completed until Thursday or Friday of the following week. It was that low of a priority," he said. "In other words, the video guys had so much other stuff to do on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday getting ready for the other game, that a lot of times that film wasn't even processed until later in the week."

Regardless, Belichick apologized again for the Patriots' actions.

Apology NOT accepted. Just because your entry level lackeys sucked at their job isn't our problem. Maybe if you paid better or promoted some people they, you know, might have done their job better and wouldn't have compiled evidence to fry your @$$ in the end. Good job Bill Nye.

"I respect the integrity of the game and always have and always will," Belichick said. "I regret that any of this, or to whatever extent, it has in any way brought that into question or discussion or debate. The decision was made by the commissioner, the practice was immediately stopped, and we're not doing it."

ogajasjgfjasgotjapojatpojg LOL, and I'm jesus.

"Just going back over the whole taping incident, if I contacted the league and asked them about the practice, I'm sure they would have told me -- as they have done -- that it is not permissible. Then I could have avoided all of this"p> -smacks his forehead twice-

"I take responsibility for it. Even though I felt there was a gray area in the rule and I misinterpreted the rule, that was my mistake and we've been penalized for it. I apologize to everybody that is involved -- the league, the other teams, the fans, our team, for the amount of conversation and dialogue that it's caused.*

-punches himself in the groin-

"I misinterpreted the rule. The commissioner made his ruling and we've been penalized for it and tried to move on. But we're not really moving on because we're still here."

-shoots himself in the face-

How does someone like Belichick obtain a college education? Work his way up to defensive coordinator for a Super Bowl winning team? Given TWO head coaching positions? How is someone like Belichick able to get married (...oh wait), let alone figure out how to fornicate? I mean come on, you could combine the intellect of Belichick, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, and Vince Young, and they still would still wouldn't equal the intellect of George Bush's sphincter. Tell me that is not messed up.

"Belichick said he didn't address the Rams' walk-through issue sooner because he was trying to focus on the Patriots' games at hand."

"I wasn't comfortable talking about it earlier in the year because my No. 1 job is to win football games," he told the newspaper. "The more distractions there are, I think the harder it is to prepare. I thought the more conversation about this would just take away from what my primary job and our primary job is, which is to win football games."

"I felt like now, the season has been over for a couple weeks, there are certainly a lot of questions out there about it, I thought this would be the timely point to address it as opposed to during the season, at any point. Of course, it came up a number of times."

Yes Bill, we know your job is to win football games; that's kinda why you are in this position right know, remember? The thing that bothers me is how you brainwashed your entire team to use that "the whole world is against us" mentality and get them to back you for being a douche and were caught cheating. I guess it doesn't really matter now though since your philosophy came back to castrate you in the Super Bowl. Btw, let me be the first to say thanks; that was hilarious.

Raiders are expected to cut Dominic Rhodes

KingRichard — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 06:45:24 -0000

It's fairly obvious the Colts need another solid running back. Not just any running back. Someone who can compliment Addai's running style and present enough change to keep defenses on their heels. I distinctly remember Dungy saying that the Colts would have liked to keep Dom but they couldn't afford him. The way I see it, Dom would be very smart to want to return to the Colts. I don't think that suspension he had, lack of playing time, and promise of a big paycheck as a non-feature back left a good taste in his mouth. If he'd be willing to return, my god that would be tits.

The way I see it, he knows the offense like the back of his hand obviously. He possesses that running style that is perfect for a two-back system with the Colts. I mean, in 90% of our eyes, he was the MVP in Super Bowl 41. I really, really really really think the Colts should seriously look to picking him up again.

Discuss.
