Brady gets a 4 game suspension, a $5 million dollar Wells Report & two year long witch hunt to follow for being "generally aware" of the Raiders playing on Monday night. That's the only way to solve this very minor infraction that shouldn't be an infraction at all.
Remaining alive in Oakland for 25 years is an extraordinary feat....and by making them stay in Oakland for 25 years.
Long snappers are used on field goals. Do they use K-Balls on field goals or only on kickoffs?
How do they hav non-game balls on the sidelines?
They don't win every year. PERIOD! That's it!**** the NFL. I am so sick of this ********. It’s not fair that it’s always the Patriots catching bull from all these morons (the media, the idiot opposition and their fans). Awful piece of **** league. The Jets had their own spygate scandal ******** one year before the controversial NE one in 2006. What happened? Nothing. No outrage, and Jets aren’t called cheaters.
The Vikings and Panthers illegally heated footballs in 2015. What happened? Nothing
Aaron Rodgers admits to Over inflating the football which is illegal. What happened? NOTHING.
Steelers last year deflated balls against the Giants last year. What happened? NOTHING.
And now this week Raiders heating footballs. What ****ing happened? NOTHING. This is UNREAL. Just wtf? This is why I don’t even watch the piece of **** NFL anymore besides Patriots games. The way these assholes tarnished Brady’s legacy is a disgrace.
Nobody cares unless NE does it.
It's against the rules.I may be in the minority here, but that is illegal? Looks like he was hardly doing anything?
The guy warming the ball is the long snapper. He's doing it for practice on the sideline. The actual K-Ball that he will have to handle in the game is under custody of the officials. Stop the outrage. There's nothing to see here.
Once the game balls are approved by the Referee, the K-Ball Coordinator (KBC) will take custody of and remain responsible for the security of the game balls and back-up balls for each club. They will remain in the custody of the KBC until 10 minutes prior to kickoff. At that point, the KBC along with a designated Game Official and the League’s Security Representative will bring the footballs to the on-field replay station. Upon arrival, the game balls will be distributed to each club’s Ball Crew in the presence of the Security Rep. The back-up balls will remain in the officials’ locker room and will be secured to the satisfaction of the Referee prior to the KBC leaving for the playing field.
Are you sure this is totally correct?
NFL Game Ball Procedures | NFL Football Operations
According to this, the K-Ball Coordinator only holds them until 10 minutes prior to kickoff. Then the balls get distributed to each team's ball crew.
Edit: And this link confirms this info after the Deflategate scandal, which makes it seem pretty current.
NFL reportedly will institute new procedures for game balls
Oh c'mon! When has the league ever made a big deal about the rule involving the psi level of footballs? If it's a clear violation, and they're feeling mean, they might fine you a few thousand dollars . Look, Aaron Rogers openly boasted about violating the rule for pete's sake!
I don't even care anymore.

We don't need anyone else, and we sure as **** don't need their approval. **** em.
Did you mention that every single one of us has video of McAdoo illegally using a walkie talkie?It really has come down to saying FU to anybody who looks the other way when it's not the Pats.
And FU to the "Cheating" crowd.
I'm tired of it.
One of my (Giant) brothers, on Xmas day, telling me "they" have video of TB deflating balls! Really!
Oh, 5h!t.!Did you mention that every single one of us has video of McAdoo illegally using a walkie talkie?
Wrong.The guy warming the ball is the long snapper. He's doing it for practice on the sideline. The actual K-Ball that he will have to handle in the game is under custody of the officials. Stop the outrage. There's nothing to see here.
