Absolute nonsense. Assuming the weather didn't deflate the balls? How in the world can that be shown?

If the Pats are found to have cheated, my season ended January 18th. I won't watch football until next season. Honestly, I wouldn't care about the SB because it wouldn't matter to me, it'll be ruined. Win or lose, the season is ruined. Now I have to go to work everyday and hear from NY teams fans how we are cheaters and a disgrace to the league. Oddly enough, these same people were defending the Pats prior to this report.
What's great is everyone is getting their panties in a bunch over an arbitrary number plucked out of the air by an overly judicious and overly regulated NFL. How about letting teams use footballs that they are comfortable with to optimize their performance? But no there has the rules for everything.
Say the Patriots had the ballboy deflate the balls. The rule book stipulates what the penalty is. $25k. And, when the Vikings and Titans were caught manipulating the balls on the sidelines this season, the NFL did not penalize them. Given those 2 facts, why are people talking about draft picks?

The way this has been slowly leaked out to the media and the amount of misinformation that has been spread is embarrassing. It's a sign of the times, I guess. News happens in minutes, which means it's also profitable for fake news to happen in minutes. Sigh. Just conduct the entire ****ing investigation and get it over with already.
Best case scenario is the pats pumped them up by feel to slightly below spec say 12 psi and the refs just didn't bother checking the psi. Then 12 became 11 in the cold.
Maybe the refs just routinely blow that off. Maybe that's how Rodgers gets his balls overinflated. Maybe the refs figure a ball is a ball and just go by feel.
Worst case is they messed with the balls after giving them to the refs. I think that's unlikely.
Second worst case is they used hot air to circumvent the standard. Kind of Belichick thing to do.
That's pretty narrow minded logic right there.11 of 12 being deflated to 11 psi is pretty damning evidence. Info on the Colts balls needs to come out. If those are the correct psi than the Pats are ****ed. Suspension for Bill, lost draft picks, etc.
But the Colts noticed them being low on the sideline-- and I doubt they magically go right back immediately when brought inside for weighing.When brought back to room temp the PSI would increase. Unless there was a leak which doesn't seem to be the case. It is likely they were submitted at 11 PSI and allowed by the refs.
Right, I'm silly and childish because my opinion differs from yours.
And yes, that my worry, I deliberately have set out a campaign tonight to get as many people as I can to agree with my post, your right, I asked everyone to agree with me....
I'm starting to think you're Mike Reiss....
