Giants accuse the Steelers of deflating footballs

[Todd Bradley]

They're essentially saying Glazer is a liar.

That's not going to sit well with the guy....

Let the games begin.

Glazer was threatened with jail over the Spygate tapes he has and refuses to give up.

The NFL is not going to scare or buy Glazer.

If this story is legit, he will call these guys out on their hypocrisy.

WHO IS A CHEATER NOW DEANGELO?

Wow, Deangelo put on a ton of weight. But I dig the hairstyle.

 

[ANGR89]

You know I didn't expect this to go anywhere but man does it still piss me off!!! how insanely quick they were to sweep this under the rug, they set the precedent for this BS, so they should be treating all accusations the same as they did the Patriots!

 

[WaterfallJumper]

This has me so angry. I guarantee that there's no actual foul play here (or if there is, it doesn't matter; PSI variance should amount to absolutely nothing), so I'm not saying that they Steelers should be punished, but the NFL really should an issue an apology to the Patriots (and give us back our draft picks). The injustice is so blatant that it's just mind-numbing.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

So there was a false media report and the NFL issued a statement refuting it inside of an hour.


Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Integrity!

Here's the thing: the Giants illegally tampered with the Steelers footballs and should be penalized. Which should have happened to the Colts as well. Why are teams allowed to tamper with the opponents footballs during the game?!? What's keeping teams from doing this every damn game in cold weather?

I'd be surprised if the Steelers did anything illegal here, just like the Patriots in the AFCCG it's nothing but the IGL at play. The difference is this is going away as quickly as it came up, meanwhile the Patriots were slandered in the media, false reports controlled the narrative and an obscene penalty was levied. This time it won't be discussed after today because the league doesn't want it to be.

BUT, the Giants should be fined or penalized for tampering with footballs. You want them measured? Ask an official for gods sake.

I think there might be a precedent for not prosecuting that offense.

For the Giants to even make this an issue makes me realize Mara has the IQ of my 12 year olds' hamster.

But Mara has connections that matter in the NFL*

Not sure how influential your hamster is.

 

[ivanvamp]

This will go nowhere, they will cite cooperation with the league as why there was nothing found to indicate wrong doing. They will never give an answer as to why the balls might have been deflated because they cannot acknowledge the existence of the IGL.

Absolute 100% guarantee that nothing comes of this. No investigation, no punishment, nothing.

You guys are both 100% correct. This has absolutely zero chance of going anywhere, and the NFL will simply say that they investigated and found no wrongdoing and no explanation will be given and that will be that.

 

[The Gr8est]

On a more serious note.. god please can we just move on from this insanity.. it was ******** back then and it will most probably be ******** this time as well..

I am not out for blood and just hope that science, reason and logic will finally prevail this time..

If the NFL* was to apologize and return the Pats' stolen picks I would be inclined to your position.

But they won't and I'm not.

I'm guessing about as influential as Kraft. (The hamster that is)

Sure let's all bend over backwards for the Steelers. Only the Patriots should get the shaft.

Only 2 options work here- the Steelers get the same treatment the Patriots got, or the NFL says no big deal we owe the Patriots their draft picks back, Brady's rep and the million.

LOL. they are saying glazer is making this up .they are so quick to respond about compliance but never answered the 11 of 12 psi for ever.

They didn't just never address the false "11 out of 12 balls" story, the NFL told the Patriots that they didn't see how releasing the correct PSI numbers would help. They made sure the false info stayed out there, unchallenged, for months.

 

[fnordcircle]

Mara is such a ****ing little *****. Bill Polian but with more power to try to accomplish BS off the field.

 

[Fixit]

This makes me so ******* happy.
