Second story on the nightly news good god what a joke
Link??A Chicago Sun Times article stated that the NFL has disputed the ESPN report. Has anyone else heard this?
I will say this:
I don't want to see any of that cute "mum's the word, on to seattle" sh*t from Bill tomorrow. This isn't going to go away by stonewalling or lawyering up and acting like it's his right to ignore the universe in his role as pre-eminent football coach. It's going to be the only thing the media talks about for two weeks and the fan base doesn't deserve some Goldman Sachs routine from the coaching staff.
If you did it: sack up and admit it tomorrow, apologize and say you're prepared to deal with league consequences, say you didn't think it was a significant advantage or whatever, but that you want to give the country the opportunity to talk about f*cking football and not PSI for the next ten days.
If you didn't do it: come out and say it and get angry, fight back and challenge the allegations out there.
Silence is going to look like complicity, and although I'm sure Bill won't want to humble himself before the hated media and speak actual sentences with feeling and honesty about this, he actually has to do just that tomorrow in order to get things on track here. He owes that to the team.
That buttoned up "all we do is win football games" sh!t sort of flew around Spygate but this is strike two and it actually doesn't matter how many games you win if you look like you're a cheater.
There's no option but tackling this head-on, from the entire organization. It's fine if you don't want rank and file players talking about this. Keep Brady out of it if need be. But Bill, you have to man up and open your mouth tomorrow, period. It's the only option you have.

Which report? The 11 of 12 balls were deflated one?A Chicago Sun Times article stated that the NFL has disputed the ESPN report. Has anyone else heard this?
"It's a league matter. We're onto Seattle.".....zzzzzzzzzzI will say this:

If anyone, I'd tend to think it is TB12. Not that Bill will be spared but I see it that way.I'm in the camp that BB had nothing to do with this...
I think TB is behind this nonsense.
What might happen is BB will take the hit to protect the player.
Interestingly enough, this is looking more and more like a QB comfort/preference matter vs any kind of a competitive advantage. And when you recognize that the NFL already allows its QBs wide latitude on grooming their favorite footballs, in addition to allowing them to wear any type of glove they want (on their throwing hand), it makes you question why the 12.5 - 13.5 standard even exists....unless it can be shown to be a rule that directly correlates with the objective of ensuring no opportunity for gaining a competitive advantage.
I'm thinking the "NFL was distraught and angry" one. Hopefully what he's speaking of is true. That would potentially be a big breakthrough.Which report? The 11 of 12 balls were deflated one?

Let me look -- saw someone else on another forum mention this so I have zero idea if it's true.
Part of the reason I asked if anyone else had heard. I'll take a look for a link.
Felger and Mazz are insufferable, just getting that out of the way.
However, toward the end of their show today Beatle took two official replica balls, one overinflated (to 14 PSI) and one under inflated (to 11 PSI). Beatle said he was shocked when he first held them, he actually guessed incorrectly and couldn't tell a difference. Felger guessed incorrectly as well. Mazz, the asshat he is, guessed right and seemed sure of his answer ('I have very sensitive fingers'...db).
Anyway, none of these guys regularly handle balls (well, at least not footballs) but just adding a little to the 'how much difference is there' discussion.
