Only 2 Sirius NFL commentators come out on top, as far as I'm concerned: Kirwin and Miller. As soon as the Brady presser was done on Thursday, Kirwin was like (I have to summarize...): "as soon as that reporter threw the cheater word out, the conference should've ended *right* there... no one should give that much credence to such allegations." I can't say how awesome it was for them to deflect it all, and turn their attention to the Senior Bowl, saying theyhave real football to talk about... making fun of those who claimed DeflateGate was the biggest story of the year ("uh....no it's not"), and making awesome quick hit reactions to players on the Seniorbowl field: "Great hands!" and "he needs to improve his stair-stepping there..."
Those two put the fabricated "controversy" into perspective, and said: we don't know ANYTHING until the investigation is done; and if the Patriots did ~anything~ wrong, then let the punishment fit the crime... with an insinuation that the crime is INCONSEQUENTIAL to the outcome of games.
I wish he had said "Dead on balls accurate...thats a scientific term" to tie up My Cousin Vinny.This was straight Original Gangster stuff by Belichick, a full-on punch to the face of the league office he has long despised and believes turns nearly every molehill into a mountain either because of general football incompetence or to drive television ratings.
To: Peter King's 6 chins. From: The fans. Re: Re: Footballs. We have asses. You can kiss them. Eat **** and die.
- Peter King is getting his panties in a wad. "To: The 6 New England states. From: The media. Re: Footballs. The NFL has an investigation going. We are covering it. Have a good day." I just tweeted him back that he might want to check if he is at risk for libel or slander. Tweet to him, he on the run.
The Colts are going to need to explain why their pressure did not drop, and I think if they did this a s a setup that will come out in the investigation. Maybe the league will rule the Colts 1st round pick goes to Pats as compensation that they suffered in their preparation for the Superbowl, if it was done with malicious intent.
"He went straight to the triple dog dare."
Friction. Same reason that race car tires increase pressure after a couple of laps at speed.
I suspect that the equipment guys use one of those electric shoe shine buffers on the leather balls, probably with some kind of cleaner/leather treatment like mink oil or whatever. It's no different than a baseball glove or a pair of hiking boots.
Or a hand held buffer.
possible he was muzzled by Kraft or Goodell in 2007I loved the 'Spygate' answer, and I wish it wasn't 7 years too late. If the Patriots had handled 'spygate' that way in 2007, we wouldn't be dealing with deflate-gate in 2014.
No doubt. The fact that they all deflated exactly 2 PSI gives more credence to the idea that pre-game ball preparation and laws of physics lowered the PSI. Ever try to inflate or deflate a ball/tire to your exact psi? now do that for 12 balls inconspicuously; logistically would be impressive.
