(O, I am sure if MLB moundsman was warmin up usin tball rubber balls...wouldnt know difference, eh?)
I believe Belicheck when he says he didn’t think about this crap. I think Brady told the equipment guys what he wanted. And he got it.
The ball security is tighter in D3 college football than in the NFL.
The whole thing is a joke. The fact that this is even on the news tells me how far down the rabbit hole we’ve gone.
Has anyone noticed Europe is circling the drain, along with the Middle East?
We are so screwed. Brady was right. This ain’t ISIS.
If 11 of 12 Pats balls were under spec, and 12 of 12 Colts balls were within spec, you have evidence of cheating. I don’t care who won or whether one or two psi make a difference. I don’t care if they did just as well or better when the psi was corrected. If they cheated they should be punished. They have a proven history of cheating.
weren’t the balls used by BOTH quarterbacks?
if one had an advantage, then BOTH had the same advantage
failing to see the issue
amazing how few people understand boyle’s law ... supposedly taught in high school chemisty
One wonders if it was “cheating cheating” or just “cheating”. Ever since “it depends on the definition of IS” there has been a tendency to gray out even the most obvious ethical, moral or honesty events.
Many have said that Indy would have lost in any case, but would the Pats have taken the offensive if they were intercepted or fumbled early in the game because the quarterback could grip the ball well. Could have been a completely different game.
Should forfeit the game to Indy to send a message that any cheating is “cheating cheating”.
Maybe they should do just like in hockey. Have the opposing team can for a ball check, just like in hockey a team can call for a stick check, the most famous case, being Marty McSorley’s illegal stick during the 93 Stanley Cup.

This is all so stupid. Bunch of chicken littles.
If the team cheated, then you do not reward them with the Super Bowl.
All it will do is encourage more cheating from other teams.
If the NFL really wants to send a message, then tell the Patriots they just forfeited their game and send the Colts to the Super Bowl.
The NFL refs need to be investigated too.
Although I’m starting to believe the NFL is a fixed game. Just like boxing, pro wrestling, etc... Hopefully, I’m wrong.
or if not a potentially very good SNL skit this weekend or next. :)
Since this is a political forum, let’s use a political analogy. Say a Democrat candidate stuffed the ballot box to ensure victory. As it turns out, he had enough votes to legitimately win. Should he still get to hold office?
Brady looked like “Where’s Waldo” in that hat and sweatshirt
I think they should waterboard Brady! LOL
I bet that purty boy would fess up in a nanosecond.
just kiddin’
Can’t wait for the Seahawks’ fans crowd signs:
Brady plays with his balls
Brady said his balls are perfect
Brady, don’t touch our balls
etc....
You had refs touching the ball forty times before half time, so it must not have been that big of a deal.
The Game is over.
The best team won.
Sour grapes. Enough already. ;)
