@fbgchase: Belichick: "I am not going to address the claims about the footballs last weekend. We're focused on deflating a different Wilson this week."
Say the Patriots had the ballboy deflate the balls. The rule book stipulates what the penalty is. $25k. And, when the Vikings and Titans were caught manipulating the balls on the sidelines this season, the NFL did not penalize them. Given those 2 facts, why are people talking about draft picks?
Again, you have a comprehension issue. I'm not calling you names.
This is true.
This is not necessarily true.
What were the specifics re: the titans and vikings manipulating balls this year? Is there a link anywhere?
Balls are not airtight containers. Neither are car tires. We reinflate soccer balls after games because they lose air. In fact, I've had tires that lost pressure with colder temps, but when it warmed up the next day, the tire was still down
@DougKyedNESN: So the under-inflated balls reportedly were taken at halftime, but the Patriots played better in the second half? This is weird.
Because the vikings and titans havent been kicking the rest of the leagues ass for a decade and a half straight now.when the Vikings and Titans were caught manipulating the balls on the sidelines this season, the NFL did not penalize them. Given those 2 facts, why are people talking about draft picks?
We never will. Even if the Patriots tampered, we will never know what the weather did,
By letter no. By spirit yes.Do the rules say you can't use hot air?
It's happening. Guaranteed. It's only out the team has at this point.AHA!!! The Sal Alosi Protocol...nah, would never work. Goodell already used that one
What are you talking about? Isn't that why we have scientists?We never will. Even if the Patriots tampered, we will never know what the weather did,
Good grief Mike Reiss, go away! Don't you have another article to write?
.....That said, I have a feeling we're gonna hear how the refs didn't properly check the balls with two hours fifteen minutes to go. That is essentially what Rodgers said he banks on, being able to get over-inflated balls past this half-assed inspection......
