Deflate-Gate: Here We Go Again

[Snarf]

Im confused... If there really isnt anything wrong, why did BB or TB say that it was serious and that the integrity of the game etc etc was important. It sounded to me like one or both at least know that something major is amiss. They were far too concillatory and calm for people believing that ther is no basis to anything.

If it was all just bs, surely they would have said as much. You would think they would get angry at the accusations. Instead they seemed to say "yep there was something wrong for sure but it wasnt us"

Im finding the whole thing so bizarre

Which is why they're letting them hang, and might let them hang through next week. Despite what fools like Francesa are claiming, this isn't going to hurt the league. Quite the contrary, this is going to be the most spectacular, most highest rated Super Bowl ever.

No it is not. Rob has lectured us time & again that this is bad publicity and the NFL will suffer as a result.

The balls either passed inspection when they were at a PSI too low after a casual (but not serious) look by the refs OR the balls deflated during the first half when it started out at the correct PSI. It's on the officials or the weather.

NOW do you all believe me???? It's been 8 freakin' years since I sat here at my computer and posted that Goodell was THE central problem. I posted FACTS that ESPN and WIKI erroneously stated as true, that were WRONG and they CHANGED after MY posting on the internet. I STILL have the Thursday visitor log from NFL headquarters showing the Mangini sign-in at 3:30. Not one local media person I showed this towould touch it. The Thursday BEFORE Goodell dropped Spygate on us. It was HIS set-up. It was meant to disable the Patriot franchise and reduce the team to the parity formula HE wanted going forward.

Just who the hell do you all think is behind THIS latest silence as our franchise is twisting in the wind , being slammed, mocked, derided and castigated by media mongoloids?

absolutely correct sir. This whole thing is another BS ambush cooked up by the POS to divert attention from Ricegate, tampering gate and the doper in Indy. What pains me the most is that the owner of the Pats who was outfront supporting the POS in his time of need is not supporting his Hall of Fame Coach and QB. I guess he lost his moral compass when his great wife passed away and now he is a laughing stock taking up his grand daughter aged bimbo.

Visitor log? Are you joking?

Can you please elaborate or share what you posted before?

People may actually care if this continues being the cluster**** that it currently is.

Two options:

1) NFL is setting us up for bringing down the hammer.
2) NFL is clueless and went in blind assuming they could bring us down.

#2 ends well for us. #1 all hell breaks loose and we're F'd. A lot at stake here. One thing is for sure - there's no way around it: the NFL f**king can't stand something about the Pats and don't give a crap about us or our rep - even to the extent they'd undermine the MFing Super Bowl for it!!

I'm not yet convinced that league has it out for us. But it's been several days, a media firestorm and the NFL still ain't saying a thing, just leaks. Makes me uneasy.

'Integrity of the game' is just a damn buzz phrase. Kraft might have even told them- forcibly- to say it. Who knows?

 

[reneluar]

a report in nfl.com say Patriots were using colts footballs since late in the 2nd quarter lol

What is your explanation as to why Kraft was and has been so silent both times and so openly supportive of Goodell given that he has tried to destroy his billion + dollar franchise???

Bringing down the hammer now would be bad for business

 

[BradyManny]

Why did NFL say they were waiting 2-3 days for investigation? Were they just sitting around until our QB/HC had press conferences?

This thing needs to come to a conclusion. This isn't rocket science. It's footballs with a couple people involved - figure it out NFL, and say WTF happened so we can go on with our lives.

 

[IllegalContact]

Listen guys......the owners would never buy in on a sting operation......too many good ole boys who would not want their team to be the next sting operation

I have less a clue about what's going on right now than at any point in this cluster bleep.

This is surreal...........At 6:30 all of the MSM LED OFF with this story. Seriously, has world peace got here and nobody told me? This is the biggest news on planet earth? The hate muslims have for christians pales in comparison to the Patriots haters.

Source: Two NFL Teams are livid w/ #Colts for bringing this to light because of scrutiny itll bring to their QBs PSI preference on the ball @NEPD_Loyko

 

[convertedpatsfan]

This is seriously a ****ing joke.

The Vikings were caught red-handed on TV trying to change the pressure of the balls and a silly letter was sent. There is zero evidence of anything untoward happening and it's a 4+ day media **** storm. You have QBs saying it's no big deal, QBs saying they prefer MORE air, a QB saying they paid a lot of money to have balls doctored for a Super Bowl, and still...this story goes on.

I haven't really thought about whether I believe Brady and BB or not, because I can't believe anyone really gives a ****, let alone after 4 days. And that's probably closer to the truth. Nobody on our team bothered to care, and neither did the refs. And neither should anyone else.

 

[deters]

So they intercepted their own ball and it was under inflated....CHEATERS!

I agree....and that's what I've been thinking. Brady surely made it sound like something did happen, but doesn't know how.

This awesome......probably a world record when it comes to much ado about nothing

 

[Guts]

This is bad for Seattle..

People accusing our coach and Qb as liars...boy can't wait to see their rage in the Superbowl
