Here we go again - Deflate Gate i.e "Spygate 2.0"

Now please do not get me wrong, I am a huge patriots fan. Have been since I was born. Stuck with them through the good (01,03,04,) and through the bad (Spygate, The Miraculous catch, 2011). Right now they look like fucking idiots. Just complete village idiots. A team that they have beaten by more than 20 points each of the last three meetings and they pick the biggest game of the year to deflate the footballs?

I mean holy shit what are you doing Bill? C'mon man, I thought we learned that this cheating stuff was frowned upon! Why! Why!


As a Patriots fan this really does make me sick to my stomach, because before this we could have shutup all of the patriots haters with a Super Bowl win, saying that we can in fact win the big one without cheating, but now its just over. If we win we are cheaters, if we lose we can't win without cheating. To be honest the Patriots haters have every right to hate. Bill cheated again, got caught, and it pisses me off.

First, I do think this is getting blown out of proportion. The outcome of the game was sealed no matter what was done to the balls. Being a Jets fan though makes me automatically suspect the worst out of the Patriots.

The Brady press conference was a joke. He goes on saying how he likes his balls (lol) a specific way, 12.5 psi. Then he goes on to say how he can't tell the difference between the under inflated and properly inflated ball. How do you prefer it in such a specific way, then go on to say you can't tell the difference.

Tom Brady is a lying sack of shit and he sits when he pees. Off with his head. Sadly Goodell is all of his and Belichick's knobs and the punishment will be lax.

milk_manIf the Pats would've won by 7 or less, this might be a big deal. But 45-7? The Colts are just unhappy about losing by so much, so they found an excuse


It's also worth mentioning they re-inflated the balls at half time, it was only 17-7 at half...

and Blount scored 2 of his 3 touchdowns in the second half. Game still would have never been close.

I'm just curious and not that it applies in this situation, but would the nfl ever adopt the "death penalty" like the NCAA for egregious offenders?

LeGarrett had 3 touchdowns run in so they would've won anyways. Everyone's making a big deal out of nothing.

What a presser by Bill. He hated every moment of it, but he did something I have never seen him due in his tenure, he was open with the media.

For those who missed it, the Patriots called an unscheduled news conference discussing their own internal research on pre-game ball rituals. They discovered that after texturing (legal) the balls to the QB's preference, the balls had an artificial PSI of 12.5 which was not their equilibrium. Inconveniently, when the referees weighed/measured the PSI, the methods they used is unknown to the Patriots but the balls were OKed. However, because the balls are natural organic materials, overtime, the PSI returned to its natural equilibrium which was lower than the legal limit.
