Deflate-Gate: Here We Go Again

Someone posted an article where he denies any involvement in this fiasco...

So who contacted the Colts? Jay Glazer already put it out there.

You are misinformed and delusional.

The Colts complained to the NFL back in November. If you seriously believe that nothing will become of this because there is not video proof then you must be the most naïve person Ive ever seen.

Get a clue?

Explain how that happened then? If the ball boys are from the local area how did Brady get them to adjust the balls or get access to the balls to deflate them? If they were low then it would be safe to assume that they were turned into the refs low...no cold weather situation and I assume the drop in temp from the locker to the field at the oil can is negible...so then that would point back to the refs going by the feel process and as long as they passed the feel test they were sent out with the ball boy.

Again this hole thing is much ado about nothing.

I still can't believe pats fans care so much. All this emotion you would have thought we lost.

The Colts were butt hurt from the beat down they took in Indy, where supposedly they first noticed the "light balls." Karma is a ***** Irsay...better be careful what you snort...

The 11 NE Patriots underinflated balls are not proof?

12 NE Patriots balls were properly inflated before the game but somehow 11 were approximately underinflated by 2 psi after the game.

Let's not overlook the fact that right now that is not a fact but a rumor from mortenson. It may be accurate but that's not a certainty.

C'mon. You rang a doorbell and then ran away.

You quote a poster on boston.com as your only source and then say "'I don't want to get into his credibilty'.

I'm sorry, but that horse has already left the barn there'.

You can do your own research on his past on that board. I did, found it to be impressive. And I didn't feel like going back through to google the orginal report of the Ravens. And then someone else did...so he isn't my "only source".

Better go get after it then...

Belichick is going to be suspended for the Super Bowl people.

That's my opinion here. The game will still go on.

Harbaugh DEFENDED the Pats yesterday.

http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/...flated-john-harbaugh-said-20150121-story.html

There is even audio of his answer yesterday to it.

Look, I understand people here are emotional, but get your facts straight.

Why are you assuming he's telling the truth?? Especially with a Harbaugh, I can totally believe he said something to the Colts and maybe the NFL and something else to the public. Best of both worlds for him -- helps to screw the Pats but doesn't make himself like (more of) a whiner.

shmessy said:

Fine, but the Colts had already brought it up to the NFL's attention two months previous. They were already obsessed with it.

Is that information confirmed or rumor?

shmessy said:

Me neither. But I'm going to use the truth.

What you are doing brings down credibility.

Exactly who has any "credibility" in this entire mess? Everyone looks like either a butthurt loser with an agenda, an incompetent league office that can't even follow their own rules and protocols or a team that repeatedly skirts the rules that the incompetent league is incapable of enforcing in the first place.

shmessy said:

Who else is adjudicating this?

Click to expand...

What does that have to do with anything?

The league is adjudicating............is there a plan to contest it?

Frankly, based on 1H and 2H, how exactly does one know the officials didn't try to undermine the team's performance by passing underinflated balls?

Unless someone has evidence of tampering or there is a formal protocol as ball issuance at the start of the game......how does one know when exactly the balls lost pressure?

That idiot Mazz was on Cleveland sports radio last night. His opinion

Belichick needs severe punishment because he doesn't follow the rules.

The Jet's tampering charges are stupid because even though the Jet's broke the rules....the rules are stupid.

That type of attitude is how you accept what the league says.

I always find it numerous when teams say "I brought it up"....this is obviously to drum up as much support for your cause (and in this instance 'your cause' is to publicly try and bury the team that consistently buried you the past decade).

Does it mean...

- you mentioned it to the ref in a conversation?
- you mentioned it to a league rep in a conversation?
- you mentioned it to another owner who then told someone in the 'league office'?
- you filed a formal documented complaint and sent that to wherever it needed to go in the league office?

'We brought it up'...yeah...ok..

So pathetically vague.

Yes the NFL will hand the trophy to the hawks and ruin there most beloved event of the year. Makes total sense.

The problem is the NFL is not going to blame its refs or itself for this. They will pin it on the Pats because that's the easy thing to do.

You proved you're a moron troll by saying NE taped the Rams. Go back under your bridge.

the sad thing is i heard Mike Perara the former head of officials say the same thing, that the pats filmed walk throughs even though it was proven Walsh never had any tapes, it was a con job by a con artist.

Its all rumor. Glazier reported that the Ravens tipped off the Colts....Shefter reported that the Colts were suspicious during their game in November....You decide.

What time is BB's presser?
