peter king thinks nfl needs to look at forensic evidence . Wants to interview ball boys and ask if they carry needles..

And if they no we don't, is that really going to satisfy the pitchfork carrying mob. PK is a tool

No. Because he played better with the second half balls. Plus it sounds like he practices with garbage footballs.

Oh yea, I forgot about that. Good point

But why be so negative for no reason

It's entirely possible that people who disagree with you not only have a reason but a logic to go with it.

I disliked your posts because you were posting about getting 'dislikes' on a post which is probably one of the more inane things for a human adult male to fret about.

Mort should be lambasted if this is true.

You spelled "fired" wrong...

Colts = noise pumping, heat raising, cry babies.

and the media wonders why BB dislikes them

I was just wondering buddy. I just think some people, like Aram, like to play contrarian for fun. Even with no reason for it. I'm not the one going around disliking things. I could care less.

I wonder what effect, if any, it's had on Seattle to be able to fly under the radar this entire week. I mean besides a comment from Sherman and a Lynch fine, it's been all Patriots and tiny balls.

Is anyone else slightly worried that Brady might have to change up his routine or whatever he does with the footballs in order to make EXTRA certain they're above the PSI limit for the SuperBowl?

I'm pretty sure the policy with footballs is very different for the Super Bowl. At least in 2003, per the news about Brad Johnson, the league supplied 100 new footballs. It makes sense that they'd have additional footballs for that game for more commemorative 'game used' merchandise.

Regardless, I think Brady's second-half performance against Indy should put to rest any notion that Brady can't succeed with footballs that aren't exactly the way he wants them.

So I went to my kid's elementary school today to meet him for lunch. I check in with the school secretary and she sees my Patriots shirt and asks me what I think about all this.

I said the media is ridiculous, they need to take some science classes, maybe they should come here.

On that note, I am done commenting on "Dislike-Gate." Back to Deflate-Gate

Late to the party..Do I understand correctly that Bill said they inflate to the legal minimum?
12.5

So as soon as the test needle comes out they will technically be illegal as a small amount of air is lost in this process no matter how fast you pull it out?

This explains why they were approved by the refs at the start but were illegal at the half. This is on the NFL for not thinking through their rules properly and the Colts for being sore losers for ratting us out so to speak.

Here's where the ball attendant conspiracy theory falls apart: As the story goes, the Colts first identified an underinflated ball during their regular season game. In Indianapolis. With their own ball attendants. There is a firing squad assembled in NYC, but it's circular.

Well..all this has become a big issue since mort reported they were 2 pounds less. He didnt even say PSI.

I'm worried about how bad the ratings will be when this team comes with a 2 ton chip on their shoulder and lights up the scoreboard.

serious question, are you an ad exec?

This may not be popular but did I believe Bill Belichick? Yes.

@RichCimini @JosinaAnderson no HC is part of football selection process. All QB & equipment staff. Across the board...every team.

I wish the game had been this sunday.I am sure the players might here about this crap next week.Cant wait for the game

Peter King has probably never played a competitive sport in his lifetime. He wouldn't know a competitive advantage if one appeared and bit him in the ass.

Bingo.. seems like we are finally getting to the unexciting truth behind the big mystery of the deflated balls.
