Please post known links to video clips of media personnel being wrong about the Patriots this season so the video clips can be preserved or stitched together in a future project.

Most relevant are accusations of purposefully deflating the footballs in the Colts game before any investigation is completed, cheating in the Ravens game, and statements at the start of the season that Patriots were done after the Kansas City game.

If possible, please mention a) the date or week #, b) the quote and who said it, and c) an approximate timestamp an accusation begins in the video.

Thank you!
 
30th September 2014 "Let's face it, they're not good anymore" - Trent Dilfer:

 
1/23 - Mark Brunel - "This will follow him [Brady] and put into question his legacy" - http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=12216590&categoryid=2459789
1/23 - Colts defense refutes mediot's quotes
Adams - "That wouldn't have changed anything, whether it was inflated or not... I didn't notice anything when I got off the field. I never said anything about the ball being inflated."
Jackson - "I had no idea if the ball was inflated or deflated... that was false. I wouldn't know the difference or if it would benefit or hurt a team", http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=12218155&categoryid=2459789
1/22 - Mark Brunel - "I did not believe what Tom had to say. Those balls were deflated. Somebody had to do it... Last thing I wanted, was an over-inflated football. If they weren't worn in enough, I'd have [equipment manager] brush them to make them ready... That was a tough one to swallow."
Jerome Bettis - "I needed to take a sip of water. I could not believe what I heard. I felt so disappointed. Because I thought this was a perfect opportunity for Tom Brady to say, 'I made a mistake, I blew it, I'll take the blame here.' He didn't do it... I'm disappointed in you, Tom Brady."

SportsScience, 1/20 according to Google, but ESPN has the date at 1/26, two days in the future -- did ESPN change the date to hide this video?
"A ball with 2 pounds less pressure makes it barely slower and easier for defenders to reach, by a finger tip."

Can we include polls on this messageboard?
 
might be easier to post the "friendly" or balanced media types. Seems every one from ESPN/Media/CNN/Fox News...etc have already found the Patriots guilty. And when/if there is no evidence of wrongdoing these guys will continue by stating they are either (A) covering it up or (B) the Pats are just that good at lying.
