My question is... if the NFL has NO proof that the Pat's altered the footballs... and it is on the Ref's.. or god forbid even defective footballs or measuring gauges or techniques...... are all of these people that are piling on creating false stories actually going to be held accountable and apologize.... This is AMERICA what ever happened to innocent until proven guilty.. real proof ...not hear -say... ...people are being executed in the streets...leaders of countries are dyeing... two very important trials for REAL crimes are taking place in the city of Boston....our own congress is stealing our money through lies and deception and "deflategate" heads up the world news at 6:00.... this county has truly gone off the rails... all over 2 PSI...the amount of air equal to the weight of a dollar bill....I'm disgusted by it all...the only thing left to do is to fish heavily to compensate....

Well this is a real good ratings booster for the NFL... taking a page out of Vince McMahon's WWE playbook and using the Pats as the "wrestling heal" and the Sea Hawks as the "baby face". Much excitement about a non issue to get the rest of the US to root for Seattle and bump up their television ratings.
Would be a great spin if right before or just after the game, the NFL comes out and fires a ref, for not checking the balls properly before the game.
Spin it all out of control to up ratings... then put the fires out with a cell phone video of the ref "not checking" the balls properly.... no harm no foul.. and huge boost in attention for the NFL....

Or Tom pulled a Brad Johnson and slipped the ball boy a few G's tolower the psi... is the leage really going to fine the golden one? I'm sure this happens league wide in some way. This will fade away
ultimately, a non-issue in the Colts crushing. One of the colts said it best, the pats could have used soap and won! |

I can't believe that the NFL has not come out and said anything. Frankly this whole thing has been ruining my whole Super Bowl experience. I would love to be talking about the Pats stopping Marshawn Lynch and who Sherman is going to cover etc. Instead we are talking about a small difference in psi in game balls that had no effect on the outcome of a game

I was surprised that Brady did not let us know what happened which makes me think that he was lying. I say this because even if he did not have anything to do with the under inflation (doubtful) at the very least he would know who did. Even if he figured it out after the fact. If I am having my butt hauled out in front of the press you bet for sure I am going to want to know what the hell happened. He didn't do that? I have a hard time believing that |

Y would Brady know who did it if it is up to the ref to test every ball and then balls R secured till game time???? and then half time the ball guy with the red X on his shirt is responsible to secure the balls at half time....And if it is the refs job maybe they were laxed in doing their job and never did inspect footballs
As it has been known for refs to cheat betting on teams to win such as in basketball maybe the ref responsible was betting on the Patriots to win....  |

I am over this.... No longer disappointed with the team in any way, shape, or form. As noted; the NFL's silence is deafening... If it hasn't been dealt with by now, I doubt we will see much, if anything going forward. If they do come out with damning proof, I will reassess my thoughts on the whole franchise. But until then, I am back to enjoying the ride to the game. Going to laugh at the haters and enjoy what should be a very very good game of football.

I think it's time for Roger Goodell to move on. He's obviously not very good at what he does based on this and other recent events.

I love the Pats....but I am not naive enough to believe the air came out via osmosis. I was hoping TB would fall on his sword and move on. He is like a kid that broke a window but refuses to admit it. Not a big deal in the scope of things but the truth would have helped put this behind him. Somebody deflated the balls,...tooth fairy doesn't cut it

Yep it's called slander
And it's so commonplace that it has gone the way of the dinosaur.
Lack of respect for giving the benefit of the doubt( because it's the Patriots)
There are rats everywhere
Watch out Ravens and Colts

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
