Did the AC systems fail? I've never heard anyone report that.
A few degrees warmer? That would be 72-75 degrees and we wouldn't be talking about this.
I'm not talking about hydrating...I'm talking about super-hydrating. That is what athletes do before playing in hot/humid conditions and takes a number of days to accomplish. You don't do that before every game because the water weight can make you sluggish (kinda like the Colts in the first half of that game...hmmmmm). You super-hydrate so that you sweat off the water weight and avoid dehydration, which is a leading cause of muscle cramps.
Again, the situation is long over. Nothing will change the game result and nothing short of a direct admission of guilt will taint the victory. You can believe what you want obviously, but saying there was no monkey business by the Colts that day is like me saying that Belichick misinterpretted the rule on videotaping from the sidelines.
Interesting! I've always thought Polian messed with the heat and we've had some great jokes about it too, but I never thought it was a huge deal as far as being something terribly wrong. I just don't like Polian or anything Colt-related so when our Pats lost it was easy to lash out at him for possibly jacking the heat, but in reality it reminded me of the Red Auerbach stories from the old Garden
