FireChan Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 I didn't allude to anything like that, I hate the Pats, and know full well they get the benefit of many calls. I only stated that Jerry Rice doesn't want the Pats to be held higher than his 49ers. YOu think that's not true? You alluded to a HoF having a petty reason to defame the Pats.

gordong Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 "Jerry" is having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that the Brady Pats have surpassed his 49ers. They haven't , not even close. Because the 49ers were never caught CHEATING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K8prisoner Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 One source described the league as "disappointed ... angry ... distraught," after spending considerable time on the findings earlier Tuesday. http://espn.go.com/boston/story/_/id/12202450/nfl-says-new-england-patriots-had-inflated-footballs-afc-championship-game The hooded turd is losing fans everywhere except the psyche ward of Gillette .

kasper13 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) It's in the rule book that the balls have to be between 12.5 & 13.5. Refs check the balls or are supposed to before the game. Each team has their own balls. If 11 of 12 were under inflated by halftime....someone did it after the refs checked before the game. Who told someone to do it? Brady? If it's not a big deal, why is it in the rule book? If everyone does it, why is it in the rule book? If it gives an unfair advantage to one team, it's cheating. It's against the rules. If it's against "the spirit" of the rules, it's cheating. Why is it always the Patriots pulling some underhanded crap? Why have the Patriots been cheating since 2001? For the fun of it? The last time they got caught, they lost one first round pick and were fined. Then the evidence was destroyed. How much have they done that they didn't get caught? I'd bet they started taping again after the first half of the KC game. How much longer do they get away with it?

keepthefaith Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yeah, but it's a trade-off. A more inflated ball will travel straighter, and farther. The reason they haven't made a big deal out of it, is because it isn't a big deal. Might be a bit easier to grip a slightly softer ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed83HOF Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 John Kryk @JohnKryk 3m3 minutes ago It was so cold in Foxboro it ... rained. How many games per year are played in 40s F temps? Right. I say the balls needed help losing 2 PSI. John Kryk @JohnKryk 2m2 minutes ago If you've ever kept a football in your trunk in the winter, you know they don't lose 2 PSI in a couple hours in above-freezing weather.

If it wasn't a big deal they wouldn't have bothered going to the trouble of letting the air out. Makes a big difference in accuracy and the argument that it hurts the long passes...... it's still incredibly more accurate on those throws as well.

K8prisoner Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 NFL should fine itself for being idiots for 13 years and have NE forfeit and show three hours dead air and a ten second apology from the turd losing all of the tv revenue. That won't happen but hard to see the patriots getting to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodbuster Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 If it were due to the weather, then wouldn't the Colts footballs be under inflated as well? NFL should fine itself for being idiots for 13 years and have NE forfeit and show three hours dead air and a ten second apology from the turd losing all of the tv revenue. That won't happen but hard to see the patriots getting to play I would watch a ten second video of an apology on a three hour loop during the SB.

Reed83HOF Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Can you guys recall any other team being accused of cheating? just off the cuff - I am sure the Raiders of the 60s, 70s & 80s just win baby Edit - However, not to the extent that the the Pats* do it. Bellicheat is just an unreal sociopath Edited January 21, 2015 by Reed83HOF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 If you were the NFL, what would you do, and try to take yourself out of hating the Patriots and knowing they are cheaters. It's your league. You need to do what is best for the league. Is the best thing to not let the Patriots play in the SB? Disqualify them and have a Black Sox Scandal on your hands? Give them unprecedented penalties after the season and let them play the SB? It's your league. Your money. Your future. Your reputation. What do you do?

reddogblitz Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Can you guys recall any other team being accused of cheating? Denver was fined $100,000 for video taping an opponent's walkthrough under Head Coach Josh McDaniels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
