Pats

Inflate the balls to a league minimum 2 1/2 hours before the game time and it's 70° and then go outside and play with the balls at 40° they are going to be below the minimum. The officials are given a pump and they are supposed to maintain the pressure of the balls.
I wouldn't call it cheating I would call it shrewd.

Hey, I'm a NY Giants fan and all the Jet fans down here are stirring on this one. But I think you nailed it and that was exactly my response when I first heard it. So BB gives a bunch of balls of different pressure to TB and the recievers and asks which they would prefer given the weather forecast. There is wiggle room in the spec and BB will always find it. It's on the NFL, not the Pats.

You are so reaching there is not enough elemental exposure to cause such an atrocity, that points already been brought up and deflated by experts...

Bottom line 11 out of 12 they cheated enough said. What a sh*t dynasty... i hope they pull the trip to the sbowl away from them.

The overblown out of proportion hype this accusation by a losing team causing the NFL to begin a Warren Commission like investigation is simply mind blowing.

all because of negative history that won't leave the team ever

sad day in Patriot land


You are right John, the team is cooperating fully, not like the Saints bountygate.

it's rediculous

they are tired of what the Pats have and continue to accomplish and jealous they aren't as good

[Slipknot]

Yes FF, the court of public opinion is opposite a real courtroom

Once it is said, you can't unsay it

Not sure of your question?

If temperature was such an issue they should have had people in the parking lot where it was colder inflating peoples tires.....

Pats scored 28 unanswered points in the second half. Clearly the ball wasnt an issue.

Your tire analogy is a bit extreme .Kinda like all the bass will be gone if charter-boats get 2@33" Go look at your boat trailer tires in the cold, they look like they are flat. It's a fact , air expands with temperature.

That is over time hot cold hot cold . There was not enough time for this to happen and the tire analogy and dead on.

Hater yes. I am a hater cause i dont like cheaters and that is what they have been about for the last decade or so.

The NFL will be a much better place with out BB and princess brady.. Cant wait for that jack a55 Kraft to go away as well.

Oh and lets not ruin a great thread by bringing the Striper debate into it. Keep that BS for the longest circular thread on SB.

I thought of that; but were the Colts balls 2lbs under then too?

This is a non-issue in the win over the colts, but remains indicative of the culture there...

Supid story or not I got a feeling Bill B is looking at a year suspension being 2 time offender.
