Most Footballs "A Few Ticks Under"

[SVN]

Just heard on NFL talking with Ian. 12pm NFL channel.

1 was 2PSI under.
4 or 5 was 1-PSI under
the rest were a tick-or-very-close to 12.5 PSI.

Yes .And after that no one chimed in with their opinions ?

Firing is too good for Goodell.

Here's my problem. How can they run a scientific test when the starting PSI's weren't even recorded? All you can do is use a 12.5 assumption. That's hardly a scientific reproduction of the actual events.

Correct. Nothing.

The person talking with Ian, just summed up saying "..the issue that has captured front and back pages of newspapers".

BS. - IMO

NFL got the whole country to bite on this and it worked. Instead of talking football the last 2 weeks we got this. Anyone who didn't give a rats zzz about the game got a juicy tmz,enquirer story to peak their interest. Very smart NFL and thanks for dragging our team through the mud in order to get publicity you really didn't need in the first place.

This whole thing stunk of suspicion from the get go and watching it unfold was pretty scary in a way. The media is very dangerous entity. Sad that this country is so quick to rush to judgement over a few sources without knowing the facts. Regardless if this report is true or not the damage has been done. Public opinion may deflate a little bit, but not the suspicion one iota. The haters need something to cling to and those few ticks aren't going to dissuade them.

For the life of me, if this latest report is true why on Gods green earth would they not squash it before it erupted into the firestorm it's become?

IMO - hope the Patriots win it all (aka: Super Bowl). And thumb their noses at those "pundits" !!!

To kill time I'm watching the Simpsons, currently this episode which captures the media perfectly:

It's amazing that the Simpsons has an episode which perfectly captures every possible instance of human stupidity.

Because most of the folks out there hate the Patriots and refuse to believe that they are "innocent". Hate is a powerful thing...

With Godell and his Jets goons in the league office, what's to keep it from happening again?

 

[New England Pride]

No kidding.

No kidding at all. Ian had to create an entire new forum just for the cry babies who couldn't stop obsessing over this topic.

But I'm the bad guy for dropping in and saying sack up. There wouldn't have been this much outrage had they lost that game.

The forum wasn't for crybabies, it was for those who could refute the crybabies.

 

[Patriot_in_NY]

Is anyone really surprised by this?

 

[Jim Colclough fan]

wont be surprised if pats leaked this info. playing offense before some s*** hits the fan from the media

Bingo! - Pats are now fighting the PR war!

What's new of signigicance there?

The ball attendant was an older man. Not a kid as we've speculated. To me, that means it's even more likely he had to pee.

Hint: If your skin was so much thicker and your ego so much more evolved than all the "cry babies" you wouldn't be in so many threads poking them with sticks all the while pronouncing yourself superior to them.

There have been no solid facts upon which to base any conclusions in this matter. Could hardly have been more poorly managed.

 

[Hoodie]

I refuse to check the pregame shows to see what they're saying about this because they will spin it, ignore it or just go back to wild speculation. I'm mad enough about this as it is.

They won't mention it.

Yes, that's why the time went from 90 to 98 seconds.

goodell needs to be fired. he could have "deflated" this whole situation easily by making a statement that this is common procedure. and laid out the evidence they had when all the leaks got out.

instead he sat back while untrue leaks got out by the rabid anti patriots mediots and one of the premier franchises was dragged through the mud. and then he comes out and makes that BS statement on friday. this truly is a joke.

the damage has been done. the national news has already dropped the story. people wont see the truth for what it is....a rediculous witch hunt
