Deflate-Gate: Patriots Being Investigated For Deflated Footballs


Recommended Posts

Hilarious and still confirmation bias,.. if you even know what that means,...

I can do that too-- and yes I am a true fan-- because this is all ridiculous to me.

Read em and weep smalls,.....

And theres plenty more where that came from--- so keep it up and ill biach slap you every time. Maybe instead of smoking cigars you could use the money instead to go back to school?

in your link it CLEARLY states that 51 degree weather more than likely wouldn't have altered the psi by two pounds.btw,is comprehensive reading your forte.

Shuuu-- he wont have to READ the article-- he will just repost yours! 

 

I really dont believe the ball pressure would drop that much either,..but its just so funny watching everyone actually believe that ball pressure dropped by 2 psi will actually be the difference to a team going to 6 Superbowls and 9 AFC Championships in 14 years,......

 

I still believe if they are actually caught and its proven then I agree with Colin Cowherd--- its Hard Knocks for 2 years, coach and Brady suspended--- smack them hard.  Thats always been on the table-- break the rules and pay big.

 

But Im not going to sit here and actually believe the Patriots have been a better team than everyone else in that time period just because of Spygate and underinflated balls,..

 

Teams can make in game adjustments but just dont-- We didnt against Arizona and they had our number. Larry Fitzgerald even bragged about it afterwards about how they had our coverages, routes, and signals---- did they breakrules to get them?  Nothing proved,... Arizona adjusted to our offense after our first drive,... Fox refused to make adjustments and we got killed.

 

but just like that or video,... any team can and should have the NFL smart big money ability to make adjustments during a game.

 

Just dont be a coward and say you lost because of your stupidity.  True cheating is having college players sneak in and play for your high school team--- or paying off the refs to call flags on you at every given opportunity(Steelers in 2005--not caught but COME ON)--- intentionally throwing a first half to win a bet(Winston),... and I still believe Neal ODonnell threw the 1995 Superbowl-- anyone remember that game?  I do.

 

Thats the whole argument. And also the lop sided hate and ignorance of other teams do wrongs-- The Panthers and Seahawks and Chargers for that matter did not loose draft picks or go through this type of scrutiny for their PED cultures,..

 

Why????? Because they were nobody.  Now that the Seahawks are becoming Somebody--watch out and stay tuned-- all the love turns to haterade real fast when someone is dominating.  Have the Seahawks win this Superbowl and next week the PED gate and Carrolls cheating track record will be sky lined,....

Have they said Colts balls weren't deflated at all, or did they say they were legal? If the Colts balls were inflated to the max, and Patriots balls were inflated to the min, then if they both deflated 2psi the Colts balls would still be legal whereas Patriots would not.

Good point....they didn't distinguish between the Colts balls being deflated and deflated below the allowable limit.

Yeah I already read your link....the link that disprove the point you were trying to prove. LOL. Common sense doesn't apply to blind Pats followers. Of course, defer to every other team to try and deflect the blame, it's not going to work.

I would have hoped the NFL would have squashed this thing right away if this would have been the case.

Colts measured legal but showed same rate of psi lost as the Patriots balls that measured below NFL standards.

I think the NFL would have been happy to end this right away if that was the case.

That would mean they had a record of the psi before the game, though, which is something I question. According to a former ball boy for the Bears he never saw them actually measure psi, only give the old palm test and check the laces before approving them.

Which would surprise no one that the NFL refs would do eyeball test.

However, if the report that they planned to check Patriots balls at halftime before the game even started is true, I'd hope they were smart enough to log all measurements made that day.

So I'm sure there is no record log.

The more this bullshit drags on, the more I am believing this whole ball deflating ordeal is nothing but a distraction orchestrated by the league in order that the names Rice, Peterson, and Hardy are not pushed just to the back burner, but completely off of the stove.  The media has bought into it hook, line, and sinker so far.

 

It baffles me how the NFL is like the reverse MLB.

 

In baseball, if a pitcher messes with a ball, puts tar, whatever on it, it's a fine, a warning, basically a slap on the wrist. However if someone gets busted on PEDs it's a fuging huge deal, the media runs with it and there are monumental penalties.

 

However in the NFL, we have a Super Bowl team busted for PEDs 7 times in a few years, and the league and media couldn't care less. However a team potentially tampering with balls and we have people calling for a lifetime ban.

 

Really messed up priorities.
