I hope Roger Goodell's herpes gets herpes.

Maybe next year, a local high school or college team could do their own testing. I think that would be eye opening. All documented as well with video and the rest.

That's what I advocated for this year.

But it might have more traction now that the NFL has fallen down* on the job. Even the Patriots would have an excuse to do it themselves. "Hey, we're just researching how equipment performs in different conditions."

*The distinction between "fall down" and "take a dive", while unquestionably important to most PSIgate discussions, can be spun as irrelevant to the specific point I just made. That's a big part of why I made that particular point.

I do not believe for a single second that these numbers are not recorded and stored somewhere in the NFL Office.

in the same filing cabinet as the original ray rice video

Did anyone expect anything different? The NFL is corrupt, period, they have absolutely no credibility and are likely to be lying more often than not.

Aware the briefs have been filed and the issue has been framed, but can't Brady's attorneys request this information regarding the actual data???

Great deal of difficulty in comprehending why this is so freaking difficult.. otoh if they favored Goodell and his belief they would have been released.

If NE had been in the SB I guarantee this wouldn't have been the narrative. They controlled the airways last year. The deflate gate story would have gotten "legs" this week. Guaranteed!

Maybe they'll be unclassified in an upcoming "X-Files" episode..

Actually I bet they were never recorded in the first place.

That runs counter to what the NFL said that they would do.

Thank you Bob for supporting this POS and his minions since 2007, surrendering draft picks and allowing the destruction your teams reputation.

Seeing the comments on the Wtzel story...only about 300 of them...but it appears the masses are now supporting us.
I am still so angry Kraft rolled over.

If Brady were to file suit, I'm sure this would be part of any discovery request....for documents etc..
I'm sure the NFL's response would be, " we can't find it your honor".....

This was a chance for someone like Volin to really make a name for himself. Imagine running a twitter feed where he will measure an NFL official football before the game at Gillete, at half time and full time.
Produce the results, challenge the league or the Patriots on the results. He will get a massive following. But he wants to stick to googling and calling the wrong police stations.

They wouldn't have had to do it at Gillette. The playoff game between Minn and Seattle in near zero degree temperatures would have been a perfect venue with a national audience.....Watch the PSI drop to 10 or less by halftime and let the NFL explain it.....As others have written, nobody outside New England cares and we're the "Chicken Littles" screaming about a biased commissioner with a vendetta and an owner whose response is too meek for my liking, to be kind..

DeflateGate: NFL's Roger Goodell Lies Violate Integrity of the Game; List of Games Where Footballs Definitely Violated Pressure Limits

So if the NFL is claiming that there were no violations after every one of the above games should have raised the same red flag as the Patriots' footballs in the AFC Championship Game, then they are now believers in the ideal gas law.

The Patriots have been railroaded at every step of the process and the widespread distrust in the league is much deserved. Everyone knows it and the fatigue will soon be too much overcome as we all sit down on the couch to watch another Super Bowl.

Make sure you wipe the integrity of the game off your shoes before you come inside.

I've been watching Toucher and Rich, 98.5, on CCSNE since they came on the air at 6:00 a.m. Now, I did go to the bathroom once for about one minute, but I haven't heard nor seen anyone on the show utter one syllable about this topic yet. It's now 7:16 a.m.

PrairiePat · Feb 3, 2016

Everyone outside of New England -wants- the Pats to be guilty, so there's no interest in any facts that dispute that contention. Rog has been riding and encouraging the anti-Pats sentiment wave since he took over as commish. At this point, even a video of the balls in the restroom being left untouched in their bags for 90 seconds probably wouldn't sway public opinion.

T&R aren't true blood sports guys. Sometimes they miss the mark on what people really want to talk about.

Agreed. They spent from about 7:05- 7:15 playing a game about things about San Francisco that irritate them. There are things I despise about D&C, but at least they stay remotely on local sports. The more I tune in to T&R, the more I realize they're more enamored with pop culture, or at least what they consider pop culture.

The Brandon Five · Feb 3, 2016

So the testing this year was only a series of "spot-checks"....that they announced before-hand?

Umm, Roger, if you are trying to catch someone in the act you're doing it wrong. Actually, what I am I saying? You do everything wrong!
