Deflate-Gate: Here We Go Again

[Chevy]

Bob Kravitz is a notorious Pats hater lol.

Prediction: nothing comes of this.

IIRC, his wife Gladys used to give Darren and Samantha a lot of grief as well.

weighing air.. what? How much does a pound of air weigh anyhow?

One pound.

 

[Joker]

The only deflated balls in this whole story are the little peas between Kravitz' spindly legs.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

On a more serious note, though, a liter of air has a mass of 1.3 grams.

I really hope this isn't true.

Can we please leave politics off the main board?

One of Florio's minions. Apparently it didn't rate highly enough to warrant waking up the grand poobah himself.

True. Either way, it's still a shame that one guy can make up a story and the entire world will run with it without waiting to see what's going on.

I'm seriously a bit surprised that the bar has been set so low.

The only deflated balls are the ones between the Colts players legs....

 

[supafly]

The headlines and suggestion that the Pats "deflated footballs" is what really sucks ass.

Even if....somehow the refs forgot to examine the balls, the elements brought the official weight down a gram or something (I don't know), the sheer insinuation and automatic jumping to conclusions by everyone in the media is disgusting.

I mean, aren't there just as many, if not many more possibilities than "just" the tricky Patriots must have somehow cheated by sabotaging all of the gameballs?

 

[rochrist]

Well, Albert Breer is all over this, and the hounds are at full bay. Pats should be stripped of all 3 SB titles and the Colts should be awarded this game because reasons.

The guy who handles the ball is an NFL employee, NOT from the Patriots.

Again, absurd charges from a butthurt dumbass. However, you know that mediots will blow this out of proportion ughhhh

Already have.

 

[robbomango]

How does anyone benefit from deflated footballs? Are we all not using the same ones? Sounds convoluted to say the least...

 

[KDPPatsfan85]

Jeff Howe finds this funny and thinks nothing will come of this. The refs have possession of all game balls.

 

[james87654]

Unbunch your panties.

deus needs to take his own advice

 

[Fencer]

The rules give about an 8% range of allowable weights for the footballs. This illustrates that the whole operation is somewhat weather-dependent.

Anyhow, I thought NFL-level allegations about ball tampering usually alleged they'd been put in freezers or something, not that somebody had literally let air out.

 

[KDPPatsfan85]

Anyone find it funny that this comes out after we blew out the colts and news broke of patriots requesting investigstion in jets tampering?

Like I said, this stinks of Goodell.
