Deflate-Gate: Patriots Being Investigated For Deflated Footballs

[cgarsmoker]

Would the Colts have played with the same footballs? If a slightly deflated ball helps Brady it probably would have helped Luck too. Yet he still blew ass.

Each team provides it own footballs on offense so no, they wouldn't be using the same football. Juicy Tidbit: Tom Brady was one of the players who lobbied the league a few years ago to allow each team to provide their own balls for every game. The league changed the rules to accommodate the QBs request.

Brady made a remark that he "likes his balls a certain way". I always thought he did...

Belichick banned for life, reports coming in now.

 

 

Hmmmm!!!! That's strange, i was sure he would get a longer ban. Life's just not fair at a time like this.

Sports Illustrated:

"What kind of punishment should be doled out, if someone on the Patriots is found to have tampered with the balls? One veteran GM in Mobile said, “I think they’ll be hit hard in the draft.”

...

one AFC general manager thought that if Belichick is tied to this latest incident—and several coaches I spoke to felt that Tom Brady would be more likely to be at the heart of this matter—it would affect his Hall of Fame candidacy."

"I received texts from about a half-dozen current and former team officials, and they all mocked Belichick and Brady. Not a single, objective soul believes them.

...

the NFL needs to suspend Belichick for a season, the way Sean Payton was, and Brady for half a season."
