Zolak - Patriots think the league has NOTHING

Scott Zolak says he gets the sense in talking to folks within the organization that nobody believes the league has anything on them. Kraft is really pissed over the trashing they've taken, especially Brady.

I'd change "think" to "know."

Btw Christian Fauria says the bathroom in question is a small one in the hallway leading to the playing field. It's the same one the players use if they need to come off the field.

I'm sure he's right. How could the league have anything when the team didn't break any rules?

I'm angry about the way Brady has been trashed, too.

we already went over this...we know

I think its easy to see they have nothing. Especially after Wells came out and "several weeks".

Was it the same female reporter who asked yesterday if Belichick told the ballboy to deflate the footballs? I think she was from ABC.

I did like that reporter who praised Belichick and then got offered a job. Total homer, I know.

If you mean last Thursday I think I heard she was from CNN. The woman last night was from ABC.

I guess for the haters that helps them understand how in a small bathroom, you don't have the room to deflate 12 footballs let alone in 90 seconds. SO dumb.

I don't think they've been that bad. Maybe my skin is so thick now I can't tell?

Her name is Cecilia Vega, from ABC.

Interesting, since her name is also linked to a pornstar.

I'm telling you, Tom Cruise was hidden in the ceiling, slid down a cable and as he was suspended in the air took out his top secret football deflater and systematically emptied each football, all in 90 seconds. Que the Mission Impossible Theme. would make a great SNL skit wouldn't it?

Forgive me guys, but this is a slightly OT. I have a few questions that I am not sure have been asked here. Perhaps it was mentioned in the other 900 threads on this subject, but I don't feel like going through all of them. Anyway, I just have a few questions.

If I have the story correct, the balls were under inflated before the game, and then at halftime the refs had the balls inflated to the proper PSI.

Is the normal procedure for every game? If so, why would the Pats go through the trouble of deflating the balls if the refs are going to inflate them back to proper PSI in the 2nd half. In other words, the Pats would only get the so called advantage for the first half.

2nd, if the Colts complained about it after the 1st meeting, wouldn't the league give the Pats a heads up about the complaint. If they did, you would think the Pats would be extra cautious in the 2nd meeting. No?

3rd, if this is something the Pats have always been doing awhile, wouldn't a ref who checks the balls at half say something to the Pats in prior games.

This to me is a big nothing burger story, that is fueled by jealousy and hate. Pathetic!

I'm not even sure where to put these anymore. Mort is on WEEI claiming he's been told the Colts like their balls inflated on the lower end like the Pats. Also stated when asked about the 2psi he reported compared to the 1 psi Florio mentioned that he asked his sources if anything he reported originally was wrong and they said no.

The balls were inflated to the correct pressure before they left the locker room, various studies by scientists have proven that this could happen.. see any thread that is authored by PalmBeachPats Fan...

Many of us here think that this was a sting by the NFL, as apparently the Colts complained 11/16.. Goodell and his inner circle were looking for that Gotcha moment, so they played it out in the Championship game.. they fell flat on their face. Why they did not do it sooner is befuddling..

There is no evidence that the pats have been doing this for awhile, PSI in balls vary according to the temperature..

Maybe Indy because of this sting, over inflated their balls to compensate for the anticipated loss..
