NFL probing Patriots' possible use of deflated balls during AFC Championship

Wasn't it Donny who posted a graphic about how the Patriots basically haven't had fumbling issues at all over the past several seasons?

 

They've become an all time great at not turning the ball over once teams were allowed to have control of their own gameballs.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

 

They should revoke their championship and give it to the other team.

 

Yep, not only are they cheating bastids, those fumble numbers bear out that they've been doing it for a long time.

Please. No one will care come week 1.

They should, but they won't.

 

An Ignorant question, but I truly don't know...

What effects does an inflated football have? Does it help Tom Brody throw a little farther or easier for the receivers to catch?

 

Easier for the qb to grip, especially in cold weather; easier to catch; easier to hold on to and not fumble. The punters & kickers use their own balls, so this doesn't affect them at all.

 

Depends on the size of the quarterback's hands. Those with big hands usually want a hard over inflated ball because the size of their hands give good grip and easier to throw an inflated ball with zip. Aaron Rogers loves over inflated balls. Those with smaller hands want or need better grip, so they want a softer ball. Tom Brady has small hands for a QB.

 

Brady has to be suspended. His refusal to cooperate alone should warrent that.

One interesting text message seemed to say the refs added airs to their balls one game all the way up to 16 psi.

[rquoter]Jastremski: I checked some of the balls this morn... The refs f----- us...a few of then were at almost 16[/rquoter]

That would be above the limit, and seems to insinuate that referees added air to them during their inspection to make them over the limit for a Jets game. I would think that would garner scrutiny as well.

 

FWIW, he performed much better after the league had properly inflated the footballs.

 

What an awesome statement by Tom Brady's agent.

No denial.

His basic contention is that the league is a bad apple for conspiring to catch the Patriots when they could have just told them to stop and then he says the report is missing information, not that exonerates Brady, but that adds "context."

 

Whenever someone gets to interview Brady, they need to ask him two things:

1. Why did he say he didn't know the equipment managers at all when there are lots of text messages between him and them?

2. If there was nothing to hide, why wasn't he willing to provide his own text messages and other info the report requested?

 

Brady's agent came out in rampant defense of his client?

Shocked.

 

Hahahahaha... his main problem with it is, in a nutshell:

"Well, yeah, they were cheating... but the league should have let them know they were cheating before they were caught cheating... therefore, you can't possibly find them guilty of cheating!!"

The gall is disrespectful to intelligent fans.

Crazy.
Is there anything similar on dropped passes?

 

I don't give a crap what Brady or Kraft think. I want to know what Goodell is thinking.

SPILL IT, ROGER DODGER!

 

This isn't in the hands of The Rog, no? Troy Vincent is going to have to lay down the hammer.

 

Police take that approach with a DUI suspect and they're ****ed.

 

Potayto Potahto.

Goody is getting a stooge (and former teammate of Brady...HMMMM) to his dirty work for him.
