Boil it down, and what Belichick just did -- in the most forceful way possible -- was create plausible deniability.

Embarrassing.

You can tell someone has an agenda when it's as if they were watching another PC than everyone else. Such a scumbag.

If that presser did not get you fired up for the Super Bowl I don't know what will!

In all seriousness, Belichick forced NFL’s investigation into interesting direction. How much will final report include scientific studies?

so, what if they start the rub down process with the balls at 11.5 PSI, knowing what they do will artificially raise it to 12.5 PSI for the ref test..but it will drop back to 11.5 for the game. Would this be illegal?..grey area?...or is Belichick saying they had no idea this rub down process did raise the PSI until they simulated?

I think Bill meant that they don't concern themselves with the PSI as the Refs check/adjust it anyway. They tell them they want it at the 12.5. Refs do it or they don't.

Exclusive video of Gronk right now

So, Tom, how was your colonoscopy?

I didn't mind Curran's question. Gave BB the chance to expand on heat being generated during the prep process or what have you. Also don't mind BB's dismissal of him.

He is a piece of **** trying to gain notoriety from this situation. He was **** QB and he is a **** media member.

Mark Brunell's face tells me he wishes he afford to buy a football to inflate...

He sucks, he is trying to save face but he is trash.

Nah, you're being to hard on him. He's very self-deprecating and never minds admitting when he's gotten his ass kicked.
Plus, he's generally in the Pat's corner, unlike some I could think of (cough*cough Felger who has been calling Bill a liar and a cheater all week)

Missed the part where he said the refs are told the patriots want it at 12.5 and he doesnt know what they do after they pass the balls off?

The players are going to be willing to run through a brick wall for belichick and brady now

They should be. Someone in the media was describing Pete Carroll's Thur. or Fri. presser, basically saying that the opening question was what does he think about this scandal "and and a wry, almost smug smile crossed his lips" before he answered the question. Vintage overconfident Pete. Now he's got to deal with a 7-years-of-pent-up-rage-tour. In one game.

I heard these guys were in the building this week...

I think Jerome Bettis forgot his Super Bowl title came with a rapist at QB.

The press conference should have been on a weekday when more people are watching. but i suppose there are more important things to get ready for.

He probably wouldn't of gotten a word in if that female reporter was there who was at Brady's press conference, lol...

Of course the WFAN 101.9 is attacking it. NY station, shocker huh? They will never let it go. Even if they had Pagano on film switching the balls.

Guess they're to back off this slowly. I'm trying to remember it's going to be a process and won't happen right away.

Breer is a smarmy turd.

I don't like him he is tool, he tries to be funny but he is really just a loser. He used to be decent now he is dog ****.

Unless they find evidence of tampering on the field, the NFL is going to look really foolish to create this huge controversy right before the superbowl.

Good call...this team is 100% innocent, that's just a fact at this point. Go on the offensive! Force the NFL's hand here, not only in exonerating the team but also in turning this around on Irsay, on the NFL themselves, on the media. Completely ridiculous witch hunt, the Patriots reputation has once again been dragged through the mud and unlike the last camera violation, this time they're completely innocent.

God I can't wait until next Sunday, this team is gonna put one last nail in the coffin with a ****ing dominant win.

INTERESTING direction? It's the ONLY direction. Science exists for a reason, you braindead halfwit.

I'd love it if they did. It exonerates Pats.

A beautiful thing to see the coach kick ass so splendidly, and in public, even.
