It was also rumored BB was given a 25 million salary with the caveat that his coaching staff was also expected to be paid out of that pot. Less coaches = more money for BB. Also, bringing back coaches still being paid by their former team = more money. I don’t believe this was ever verified but...

Cardinals just took lead with 30 seconds left

I had read earlier that he didn’t even make the trip due to illness.... He unfortunately has not been able to take advantage of his chance for playing time the last few weeks by either being hurt or healthy scratch. He did get 5 snaps last week. Very disappointing as I thought he might have been...

I believe Boutte is on the patriots 53 so he can’t be picked up by another team

I live in Syracuse (grew up in Northfield, MA) which is about an hour and a half from Buffalo and the wind has been absolutely ridiculous today. (blew panels out of my vinyl fence). If it’s anything like this tonight any ball that is in the air is not going to end up where it was intended to go...

Even worse... tanni got called for intentional grounding.. 10 sec clock run off.. end off half

Rumor has it the creators name was Marshall Warner or was it Kurt Faulk

I hope BB rips into them tonight when they ask him about it during his presser. Something like... Listen I told you we conducted our own review of this incident. If we didn't watch the videos or talk to the people involved with contact with the footballs it wouldn't be much of a review would it...

HOLD FAST YOUNG BALLBOY HOLD FAST!

Glazer says locker room attendant picked up the balls in his tweet. I'm assuming there is a difference between locker room attendant and sideline ball attendant? The way he words it, it sounds like one of the patriots equipment guys picked up the balls not the NFL ball boy. Possibly misleading...

Sorry for the confusion. I'm looking for the NFL Game Operations Manual not the rulebook. I've seen a lot of people questioning Belichick about handing under inflated balls to the officials pre-game. I believe the manual states the actual process and specifically says the officials will...

I've heard reference to an NFL Game Operations Manual. I believe this manual gives some in the weeds type information that the rule book doesn't cover. For example, if the footballs are handed to the officials over/under inflated during the pre-game inspection, the officials bring them to specs...

Take it for what it's worth. It was stated by some slimmy news source that the fiasco was due to the officials getting the footballs out late because it took time to re-inflating them. I'm not sure what ball they had originally set for play. Some say it was a kicking ball some say they were...

We agree there was no tampering. If my post implied anything otherwise I didn't do a very good job communicating my position on the subject. Let's put this one to bed.

The air molecules inside the ball were heated up while the equipment managers were prepping the balls pre inspection, trying to get them to Brady's liking. (Rubbing, scrubbing, polishing, God only knows what else) The friction causes heat which causes a higher PSI or an unstable PSI if you will...
