Is it any wonder why they are having trouble understanding the laws of physics?Because the Colts balls didn't start at the same temperature as the Pats balls. This is the problem that the whole country is having with the comprehension of what happened here.... "well, why weren't the Colts balls deflated then?" It's really very easy, the Colts balls were on their bus before they were checked for pressure, so they would have been exposed to a smaller temperature fluctuation than the Pats balls hence a smaller pressure drop. It's very easy. Please somebody explain this to the mediots......
King seems to have an open mind on the matter and admits he is confused this is better then 95% of the media morons.
I was however disappointed he didn't mention the scientific angle from his column this am, and his conversation with PBPF this am. or the link he got on head smart labs that he saw.
The point of these radio shows is to drum up listeners. The hosts are being contrarians on purpose in order to have controversy, callers etc....
Peter King did actually make that point. I didn't listen to the whole thing, but he did say that it was very unusual for them to come out that way, and what it meant to him was that Kraft and BB are both convinced they did nothing wrong. I didn't hear where he said he suspected foul play, if he did. He did say he thought they were likely to be punished just based on circumstantial evidence, probably not very harshly.
I did hear Florio say he thought they probably did it.
And that's the size of it.So pick your poison. Dale and Holley with 2 idiots or Bedard with dumb and stupid.

He's a self-admitted Patriots hater.Florio is at least fun.
I don't think that local sports talk radio always has to agree with the local team but I'm a fan and I don't want to hear two conspiracy theorists always tearing them down either. The journalists here don't realize how lucky they have it. Can you imagine cover a team that never ever has a whiff of the big stage? What fun is that?And that's the size of it.
This is supposed to be a joyful experience for the fans. When we have to continually dodge land mines of mindlessly harsh negativity PERPETUATED BY OUR OWN F*CKING MEDIA to enjoy OUR team in the Super B0wl, something is seriously, sadly wrong. It's like they get a sadistic rush from beating down what's fun and good about it. This makes me sick.
I know he doesn't like the Pats, I'm saying his stupid articles are funny because how ridiculous they get. Where as King's is just merely idiotic.He's a self-admitted Patriots hater.

I never expect them to be cheerleaders, just don't go 180 degrees in the opposite direction 80 percent of the time. It's like these guys enter a fraternity and all take the same oath, "I will not be a fan." Then they get a whiff of the national spotlight and it gets worse.I don't think that local sports talk radio always has to agree with the local team but I'm a fan and I don't want to hear two conspiracy theorists always tearing them down either.

Totally agree. When discussing (arguing) about this with my friends, it's so frustrating because they spew out all this contradictory speculation, not knowing when a leak has been debunked or changed....they refuse the obvious and try so hard to make the medias square block fit the round hole. They've even admitted that even if the Pats are vindicated they won't believe it. I'm obviously biased but they're aren't. Haha. Is it Sunday yet?!Here's the deal.
None of these sports journalists bother to actually corroborate their stories. They hear something from person X and immediately publish it for public consumption without even the least bit of consideration as to whether what they're writing has an inkling of truth.
And that is where I'd like to get to my next point. 24/7 news has entirely destroyed ethical journalism. Everyone wants to be the first to post breaking "news" because information is so readily available across the globe, and exchanged endlessly through various mind-numbingly stupid social media networks.
This pursuit to gain prominence in the journalistic ranks would be fine if it weren't for the lack of any culpability if someone publishes rubbish. That little **** Tomase got away with essentially a journalistic felony, with basically a slap on the hand.
The same holds true with the Felgers, Mazz, Kings, Florios of the world. There is no governing body guaranteeing that these individuals are held accountable for their spurious and scathing criticisms and accusations levied against the Patriots. Without accountability, there is no incentive on these journalists part to report the truth. As far as they're concerned, rumors carry the same weight as the truth, and that, my friends, is truly a travesty.
