Harbaugh/Colts responsible for this nonsense.

Surely the NFL would take into account sour grapes before sending out the Gestapo to crack skulls?

Oh wait, the Commissioner is dumber than a box of rocks. Forgot

No..and stop calling me Surely

And to think, I used to like the idea that both Harbaugh brothers were coaches. It made me laugh. I enjoyed Jim's Captain Comeback days with the Colts and thought John was a good coach.

Now... they're dead to me.

Now i hate the Jets most out of anyone...but Balt is making a stong case for me. ****ing cry babies.

I was thinking about this today, it really does look like Harbaugh got pissed off that Brady said "check the rule book" and said "oh yeah Tom?"

BUT that's not necessarily good news because it means that it wasn't weather, that this has something to do with how the Pats prepare the balls.

Personally I believe Bill but I think it might be possible Tom is not being completely forthcoming... This looks like Harbaugh feels guilty this is being pinned to BB when he meant it to hit Tom

the balls were never checked. bill said, we told them to set the balls at 12.5. what they actually did i have no clue. heads will roll when this is all done but those heads won't be wearing a flying elvis.

RobertWeathers · Jan 24, 2015

Four basic questions.
1. How was is learned that the balls were out of compliance?
2.Who surfaced the issue?
3. When was the issue surfaced?
4. Why did the Colts balls have different test results.

Once I have those answers I have more questions.

Well th

Well most of that is for the Ravens. The Colts are just a sorry ass soft team that gets punched in the mouth over and over and won't fight back. The only criminal on that team is their owner, ie pill popper. Indy has two very good players and a bunch of stiffs. Also they have a despicable fan base

i wonder if any ravens coaches or kickers have a connection to graham gano?

Show416 · Jan 24, 2015

That ***** Harbaugh did this because he knew the Colts would get destroyed. They created this stupid story so the media focuses on it rather than the whole Ray Rice scandal during SuperBowl week and media row. It sounds like a crazy conspiracy but is it really?

Dear Baltimore and Indianapolis fan lurkers:

Your teams are pill-popping, murderer-sympathizing losers who try to cover up brutal domestic violence cases to save your overrated players.

Your organizations are second rate loser franchises, and your front offices are compromised of bitter losers who are upset that New England always kicks their asses.

Enjoy your off season, and go to hell.

all that needs to be said

bravo sir.

bruce_w · Jan 24, 2015

Bingo! he was signed by the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent in 2009! This is the only person who has talked about football pressure as far as i know. now suppose someone on the ravens he became friends with talked to him about deflating air pressure and went to a coach to test out the theory in a game? now harbaugh would have some information to teach brady about nfl rules.

Volin just put out an article that surprisingly backs up Curran's theory about Harbaugh starting all this. Volin says the Patriots believe it to be true. Wow. I am guessing Curran also heard this and is why he was willing to put out such a far-out idea.

This, combined with rumors that that assclown Irsay were involved, just paint this as a giant grudge move.

Please include the asshat reporter from Indy, Bob Kravitz as well.

The balls aren't out of compliance and no rule is necessarily broken just because they are below 12.5 PSI. Being under is totally legal as long as the officials passed them during the "inspection" and they weren't physically tampered with after the inspection. That's why The Hoodie said they went by the letter of the rule book. The balls passed inspection and they weren't tampered with physically after that procedure. There is no rule that states the balls must remain between 12.5 - 13.5 throughout the game, just that they must be measured in that range by the refs 2 hours 15 minutes prior to kick off.

The Ravens are pushing my dislike of the Jets right to the wire.

really? then there should be no problem that they measured low when the refs tested them at the half?

NEPats1 · Jan 24, 2015

This makes sense. Ravens lost and were upset about the "deceptive" formation and wanted to get back, so the HC told his former coordinator.

Interesting part:

You can imagine the Patriots’ reaction — let’s just say it was a word that starts with the letter “P” and rhymes with “missed.” Never mind that the Patriots may have been deliberately skirting the rules (although the NFL has not determined anything at this point). In NFL circles, ratting out the Patriots was the far bigger crime.

And Harbaugh, whose team hasn’t exactly been a beacon of morality and truth since Ray Rice punched his fiancé in February, has the gall to act smugly about the Patriots?

reneluar · Jan 24, 2015

can you post the volin´s article here? they want 99 cents

bruce_w · Jan 24, 2015

the ravens kickers were talking about deflated balls. why would they know anything since the kickers have different balls?
