He cheated before, he may be lying now. I agree with the sentiment that this isn't on the same level as the systematic stealing of other teams play calls by video. Both teams played with the deflated balls. One team knowing the other teams plays clearly destroys the integrity of the game.

Every team did the video taping too. It made no difference then and it makes no difference now.
A bunch of drama over nothing .
Nobody cares what losing teams do . This wouldn't have been mentioned if Indy won

this is funny



I heard Seattle lined up with an illegal formation 6 man wedge on the onside kick. therefore we should be playing GB in the superbowl.


Yes the integrity is in question by all the haters out there
any of the nuts comparing this to bountygate are delusional, this is not anything close to hurting any players, more like jay walking if guilty but since it's the ex-cons, the Patriots, it gets blown out of proportion.

I think it is fair to say that if you weren't a Patriots fan, you would be singing a different tune. Actually that goes for most of the people posting on here. You have evidence that every team did the video taping?. Any reasonable person without bias who watched and listened to Tom Brady speak yesterday would conclude that he was full of it. The balls were deflated, someone deflated them, and there is one person who would want them deflated. If air pressure didn't make a difference, he wouldn't have a preference and the league wouldn't have a rule about it. One after another, hall of fame players and coaches are calling them out on it. If it is nothing, or it doesn't matter, or every team does it, then those people have no integrity. The world outside of foxboro is going with Shula, Rice, Dawkins, etc on this. Maybe video taping and deflating don't matter, but then why do it? In any case, there is no doubt that the Patriots are a tarnished franchise.

where does a WBZ associate come off and says that they should be fined because Brady said he likes the balls to be 12.5 lbs. which make them illegal....Brady would be within the limits at 12.5... DURRRR...

Actually its been farely well documented that many teams were doing it. The patriots removed jets cameramen from illegal areas in a previous meeting hence the blow back from Mangini. The issue was they received a memo from Goodell the week before.

Not nearly as bad as some of the other things that went on in the league. But new commissioner needed to make an example. The only reason non Pats fans make a big deal about it is because they can.
Hey if that's what you have to celebrate enjoy.

I'll be willing to bet your proved wrong . I'm with Spence.... There will be no wrongdoing found .
Hell even the Colts tackle that intercepted the ball is saying he never said anything about the ball.
