There are those of course that will never change their mind and have decided who in their opinion is the GOAT and that's fine, I don't really care. But if you asked yourself, what QB gives you the best chance to win a superbowl in this era and you could choose anyone from history, it would be...

The league said no such thing. Here is the exact statement: https://nfllabor.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/1-23-15-nfl-statement-2.pdf Just another example of how a report or source is inaccurate but published as fact for which conclusions and judgements are drawn.

Thank you Ian. This board is a sanctuary for me. Just one question; Where can I donate to help you with maintenance costs?

That for me was the sweetest super bowl win. So much so that I smile and feel a sense of calm for every media or fan hated comment out there. I simply don't care. I watched the game on my own (muted volume) and I developed a routine of pausing and watching plays in slow motion then fast...

Great insightful thoughts, Ken. A few comments: 1. Offense While I certainly would love to see a balanced attack when all is said and done, it wouldn't surprise me to see the opening script with an up tempo 3 wR and Vereen package. Emotions will be at their peak at the beginning and Seattle's...

Two questions that got me riled up were the ones about comparing the punishment in bountygate to this which I thought was ridiculous but at least Goodell provided some perspective when comparing the two and without explicitly saying so, he let it be known that this potential issue is not on the...

Blake's last year was 2005 when the NFL supplied the balls and I have no idea what the procedure was in terms of hand-off to the teams. It wasn't until 2006 when the rule changed to allow teams to use their own balls and have the officials inspect them. So you really can't take Blakes words and...

So now that we have the Patriots and multiple 3rd parties verifying through actual simulations that the psi does drop isn't the obvious question "what were the exact measurements of each ball (Patriots and Colts) before the game, halftime before and after inflation and after the game?" Without...

I'm reading about a locker room attendant and a ball boy. Are these the same or different people? I would think different and if so, why does the locker room attendant have any business handling footballs? I heard that the refs deliver the balls to the field 10 minutes before the game and now...

I thought the balls were delivered by the officials to the field after their inspection.

Good post Ken, I'm going to try and just be done with it. You mention "30 other fan bases wish they could be where we are'. Are you dismissing the Jets fan base simply because they just don't know where they are?

If this thing ends with possible theories but nothing conclusive and no punishment, because of the venom being spewed already by plenty of media members, it wouldn't surprise me at all if someone in the media makes something up but has "sources" which either implicates Brady or the team in some...

Thank you for that clarification. I really should read the transcript to get the correct facts....hmmmm. Why wouldn't the press have simply asked the question "Were the balls measured before providing them to the refs?" I would hope the NFL at least asked this and when they do make their...

That is plausible and what I thought as well. However, in order for this to gain any traction, NE needs to say that they didn't actually measure the balls before providing them to the refs and I thought I heard BB say in his press conference that they did measure them at 12.5. Am I mistaken?

You do look familiar.

I have a tough time watching any patriots games with others but when it comes to the playoffs, I have to be on my own. I'm a fairly laid back guy but get pretty worked up watching NE. Plus I like to rewind constantly and watch replays in slow motion and then fast forward to catch up to live...

This is the best piece of info. I've receive all day. I'm going to start hitting F5 for now on!

Facts??? Since when have those ever been important?

I thought it was interesting that Bill talked about his history of how he deals with footballs during practice, to talk to any current or former player about discussions or lack there of regarding air pressure. For me at least it takes the emphasis off him being some mythical evil wizard as the...

Totally agree. I'm really trying to resist getting caught up in the "reports from sources" and heresay but until the nfl announces their findings and results, it is going to dwarf anything related to the game itself. I just hope they (nfl) disclose the actual chronological events, the specific...
