Most people thought the Falcons had beaten the Patriots. Including the leading newspaper in Boston.
Via Field Yates of ESPN.com, an early edition of the Boston Globe declared victory for the Falcons with a headline that proclaimed: A Bitter End. Appearing under that was a photo of Falcons defensive back Robert Alford returning an interception from Patriots quarterback Tom Brady to the end zone for a touchdown that put Atlanta ahead 21-0 in the first half. New England eventually would trail 28-3 in the third quarter.
Inevitably a collectors item, the erroneous conclusion proves the danger of declaring any sporting event to be over before it is. Even when it seems to be.
The 25-point comeback for the Patriots more than doubled the 10-point fourth-quarter turnaround the Patriots managed two years ago. In both games, quarterback Tom Brady earned the MVP award after performing the kind of heroics rarely seen in NFL title games.
More self-inflicted fake news from the MSM. This just keeps happening over and over because the MSM is more focused on smearing Trump any way they can and less focused on actual reporting.
So Hannity defended Brady on deflategate. Citing environmental bs etc. sure balls could naturally deflate out in the weather.
Why was it ONLY BRADY that had a problem with deflation?
Why was it ONLY BRADY that got suspended for it?
I call Brady a cheater and I couldn’t care less about either team.
The MSM doesn’t care if they’re right, as long as they’re first.
Plus the hypocrite Brady IN AN INTERVIEW said he’s VERY PICKY about the footballs.
Then 5min later IN THE SAME INTERVIEW said he wasn’t aware of the balls’ situations???
WTH?
They hate us because they ain't us.

There was enough evidence to show they were cheating, and the destruction of the phone as evidence is what eventually caused the NFL to act as they did. I also over time have become more of a fan. Despite thinking he broke the rules, I also have enjoyed watching him turn anger into excellence on the field. I couldn’t root for them, but I also enjoyed it a little bit once the shock wore off.

Deflate gate was fake news at its worst.
Figure it out!
Nothing better going on so we ended u[ watching one of the best Super Bowls ever - right down to the wire and then they had to move the wire....reminded me of Buffalo's comeback to get to the Super Bowl way back when.
I’m glad Brady got caught because he’s even a better QB with fully inflated balls. He could have had ten SB rings by now if the balls were always inflated. All those years he was giving himself a handicap.
A Bitter End? Is that where Obama finds him some Bitter Clingers?
Perfect!
.
Some people are really stupid enough to believe that deflategate crap.
It amazes me.
Which is probably about what one of these T-Shirts cost.
LOL!
