Mike Pereira: ‘Not Just The Patriots That Have Doctored Footballs’

Really i am so tired of Pats fans assume there is more evidence that the Pats actually cheated. In my mind this takes more unfounded suspicions then a Jets fan simply believing the bogus report. Let me see if i truly understand what you are saying.
Okay Roger the Dodger says to Wells, look guys we are going to pay you oh 5 or 10 mil but we really don't want to prove anything just you know dummy it up with a good first page and leave a lot of room to create doubt because we don't have any desire to prove anything, got it.
Please the report has nothing, NOTHING AND YOU THINK MAYBE THEY HAD SOMETHING REAL AND JUST LEFT IT OUT IN CASE MAYBE THEY MIGHT NEED IT AT A LATER DATE. WOW!!!

Exactly. If the NFL actually had more damning evidence they would've dumped that **** out for everyone to see. The leaks in that office would've been like a pail of water at a shooting range.

don't get your blood presures up. Just draft some guys to your fantasy team and root for your new favorite team(You fantasy team)

Venting can be a good way to release that pressure, IMO.

I too am so tired of this "where there's smoke there must be fire" logic. Even if we take the worse case scenario that Wells laid out, the halftime measurements and using the gauge that Anderson said he did not use. The one that always measured a lower PSI.

The average PSI of the Pats balls were 98.14% of what Exponent said they should be. All balls were between 92.765 and 104.68% of what they should be.

When you throw in

1)the built-in inaccuracy of the crappy gauges (the same gauge measured 3 different readings on the intercepted ball)
2) the unclear timing of the measurements (the first balls would be lower as they had not warmed up yet) but nobody is sure when there measurements took place.

There is no goddamn way you could come to a conclusion of tampering. NONE!! ZILCH!! ZERO!!!

Why is this so hard for the rest of the world outside of NE to understand?

Edit --> It just hit me that most folks still "think" that the Pats balls were 10.1 when they should be at least 12.5. That initial leak did all the damage. The rest is just filling out the death certificate.

Colts can do whatever they want. League has never punished them since the Polian era.

That's not exactly true. They can't beat the Patriots...

And they probably won't do it again after what happened to the pats. Yes teams doctor the balls but the nfl is not going to start an investigation for all past offenses but going forward they will.

Why do you suppose they started with NE?

Someone has to be first. Now all teams will be punished if they are suspected or caught.

Kraft did the right thing by not fighting this but makes you wonder if the main reason was because there was more evidence against the pats.

What do you think it might be?
