Deflate-Gate: Here We Go Again

I'd like to think we are going to be pissed beyond recognition and destroy the Seahawks. Even if we are, does anyone really think we are going to get a fair shake in this game? I almost feel it will be more of a miracle to win this game than the Rams game.

If nothing else, this will have solidified this team around Tom Brady. No doubt these guys can't stand the media right now and would do just about anything to win this game for Tom. I expect they will give this game everything they have and then some simply because its no longer business, now its personal.

(wow, that sounds like a bad movie trailer)

Hey, maybe the media piling on is turning off the nation?

Wow, it's 49-1 on the states. Screw Nebraska.


Do you believe Bill Belichick and Tom Brady when they say they do not know how the Patriots' footballs got deflated in the AFC title game?

'Only 12 votes in from NEb..they will come around

What kind of loser mentality do the Colts have that they would distract their players from the game to tell them that as soon as get a ball to bring it to the sideline to get tested? They lost the game before the opening kick-off.

I do think we'll get a fair shake during the game....maybe even better than before DeflateGate. And every day that goes by w/o the NFL coming out of the shadows, makes our prospects even better. The NFL can't be seen as punishing one of its teams on the playing field. That just wouldn't fly, as it would be obvious to millions of viewers who would wonder/question those flags in real time...during the NFL's most important economic event....ultimately lowering the perception that people currently have even further. There are going to be a lot of interesting angles to this game....

That map looks like the 1984 presidential election.
Yeah I'm old.

You mean that country where 15 of the 19 911 hijackers came from? Who gives a crap! We're talking about football PSI inflation for Godssake! Wrap your head around the important issues!

Thanks for the opinion, Felgy.

Hey mods, quick suggestion....merge the madness. It's been contained here for the most part. Now it's exploding.

Just my $.o2 cents

Shocking video evidence of #Deflategate. Guys we are done now.

What's that sound you hear?

It's the scratching and clawing at the bottom of the barrel by the babbling maw that is the national sports media who feel a collective eye roll coming on from the sports news viewing public who doesn't have an axe to grind.

Their easy mode story and big ratings are slipping away from underneath them so expect a full court press about how this is clearly not resolved, they don't believe Belichick or Brady and *dramatic music* SOMEONE HAD TO KNOW!

Meanwhile, ask any of these nitwits what color ethernet cable they have in their TV truck and they'll give you a blank stare, but Belichick and Brady obviously have to know the complete chain of custody and absolute PSI readings on every football used in every football game ever because what else could either of them spend their time over other than fretting about the air in a ball.

I hope the pats refuse interviews to all ESPN for the superbowl. No 1 on 1 with berman or anyone with brady or belichick. God I hope they do it.

I couldn't agree more. Take whatever fines they are assessed for not talking to them. And add Chris "Mad Dog" Russo to that list as well. He has been screaming into his microphone on Mad Dog Sirius radio all afternoon that the Patriots are cheaters, someone removed the air from the balls, someone in the Patriots organization ordered it, etc., etc. And when I say screaming into his microphone, I mean literally screaming. When anyone calls in with a reasonable, calm response that is even remotely pro-Patriots, he cuts them off and dumps the call.

So a review not investigation. Media is gonna hate this

Now that it's basically over with we needing the NFL report to come out confirming there is no evidence of tampering, perhaps it is now time to start celebrating our AFC Championship victory.
