Get em' Tedy!!!!

 

[Bella*chick]

Love you, Tedy.

 

[Ring 6]

Bruschi shows he is a man and Kraft shows he is not.

 

[Kontradiction]

Unfortunately, Bruschi will just be dismissed as another Pats homer. The guy that really needs to step up and say this is Kraft but apparently Kraft is the one with the deflated balls.

 

[Gronkowski123]

gonna be uncomfortable when the suspension comes out.
at least teddy will defend tom and not lie down like kraft.

 

[Wheelman]

BRUSCHI BRUSCHI BRUSCHI!

 

[Dr Pain]

Michael Holley is on right now and is on fire. He just crushed the major point of the Wells report about Brady not knowing Jim McNally. Brady deals with John Jastremski. Holley is doing great.

 

[Trycked]

Has Deion Sanders or Michael Irvin said anything about the Wells report? While I like Bruschi and all, I'm interested in a more impartial outsider athlete point of view.

 

[Froob]

What'd he say? I can't get it to load.

besides awarding you the winner i'd also like to give you one for being funny and that i also agree.

Bruschi brought up something I have said for a while. Why would Brady have a ball boy go into a bathroom and quickly deflate 12 balls without gauging them (and there is no way McNally could have deflate the balls and gauge them). By doing that, he risks getting too underinflated balls. It would be better to risk that the refs kept them at 12.5 PSI.

He's supported Brady and the Pats since Deflate-gate came out.
Brady told him he did nothing wrong and he believes him as he is a good friend.
He still went and read the entire report to try and find anything. He found nothing that shows Brady or the Pats are guilty.
He brought up the page 112 statement about the science finding no proof the balls were tampered with.
He doesn't want to ask Tom any questions. He wants to ask officials questions like what were the definite readings of the balls.
He brought up the fact that the Colts balls may have been qt 13 PSI and at 12.1 during the checks that would be almost a pound of deflation lost.
Doesn't think anything will be done because he doesn't believe there should be a suspension.
He doesn't accept this B.S. report.
Thinks Brady/Pats should appeal punishment.
Knows Brady and knows his integrity and doesn't believe this could ever happen.

So in short, Bruschi in full support of Brady and the Pats and calls B.S. on the Wells report.

This whole thing is insane. The Patriots balls are exactly where Headsmart labs said they would be but they ignore this because the Colts balls haven't deflated the same but they never get into how the Colts balls were prepped, if they came in from the outside before inspection or if the halftime inspection happened indoors with the Colts balls done last allowing them to warm. I am completely convinced there was no human deflation.

Still think it was mostly weather. Politifact said 1.5 pound loss of pressure was totally reasonable based on temp drop and rain.

Yeah, but Headsmart Labs was not hired by Ted Wells to generate a report that incriminates the Patriots.

 

[upstater1]

I have to admit I didn't read the report but is Bruschi right that it states there is no certifiable way to state that the weather caused the ball deflation? They want certainty with respect to scientific measures?

 

[upstater1]

But Exponent was, and Exponent's Ideal Gas Law calculations were right in line with the actual haltime measurements.

The way the worded it in the report was very misleading. It started out saying that Exponent said they could not determine in any way what caused the deflation by the data, but then based on their assumptions which included that they would use the logoed gauge readings at halftime (that had a far bigger discrepancies between the Pats and Colts' balls than the non-logoed gauge) because Walt Anderson almost positive that he used the logoed gauge before the game, but he could have used the non-logoed one and that Walt Anderson's recollection the PSI of each ball before the game is accurate (even though he cannot remember which gauge he used or whether he signed all the K Balls before the game) they "proved" that there was no way the Patriots balls could have deflated that much.

It does not matter because there were no official measurements (of either team's set of 12 balls) taken before the game by Anderson, making it pure conjecture to determine how much of a drop actually occurred.
