I know nothing of Doyel/Rosenberg
Regardless, Brady has apparently said that he likes the deflated ball.

No worries. Probably healthier to stay out of the loop with this circus anyways.Apologies for being incorrect, WM.
I had only seen the links provided by the local media today, which pointed to his comments from 11/30.
That is the link that I included in my post from the comments of Phil Simms, which is what many are meshing with today's news. Hence the confusion.
Here is yet another link that is posted on the main forum page, which alludes to the comments from 11/30: http://blog.masslive.com/patriots/2015/01/according_to_cbs_aaron_rodgers.html
I would not be shocked if the NFL does not allow teams to comment on investigations. I suspect Irsay phoning his reporter buddy to start unsubstantiated rumors probably breaks a rule. Maybe not, but hardly seems professional.I don't believe the term "employed the services of the media" is too appropriate here.
A "source" broke the story to the reporter from Indy (Kavitz, I believe is his name), who then used social media to pass it on. There is zero accountability for social media--none whatsoever.
I can't see how the Colts did anything wrong, or would be considered for doing anything wrong?
Hopefully, the NFL is just doing their due diligence and we'll be exonerated--but no, I don't think many are expecting anything to be placed on Indy, as I don't see any reason for such a thing. As we've seen before, nothing ever comes from bringing the attention to the league, even if you're wrong. Sad, but true.
Out of research curiosity, are you and fellow 12-men-on-the-field-penalty Seahawks fans talking much about this nonsense? Or are you more interested in how Seattle matches up with NE?Oh wow 83 Pages now, leave me no choice.

A more reasonable option is to stop letting teams supply their own balls and have the NFL do it. That way they dont have to worry about over or under inflated balls that they need to inspect.
At first yeah, but it died off pretty quickly the day after.Out of research curiosity, are you and fellow 12-men-on-the-field-penalty Seahawks fans talking much about this nonsense? Or are you more interested in how Seattle matches up with NE?
They already check the balls. I don't see any reason to think that if the refs can't be trusted to check the balls the Patriots give them they can be trusted to check the balls the league office gives them. It's not like they come from the factory inflated correctly.A more reasonable option is to stop letting teams supply their own balls and have the NFL do it.

There is no "matchup". The Patriots will not be allowed to focus on this game. The country demands blood and Goodell will give it to them. First shutout in Super Bowl history maybe? If I owned the Pats I'd remove the team from league play until this scumbag ,Goodell, is finally removed. This "story" is so contrived, so transparent in its' intent that one would have to be a total fool to believe there's any level field here.
I am confident and relieved that the team isn't jumping at shadows like this. It's pretty obvious that the players are part-oblivious/part-don't-give-a-damn, with maybe a dash of resenting such talk: they are being linked with the signal-theft ********, which only Brady and Vince were even around for. The team just needs to prepare, which they will. ****ting themselves won't stop the Super Bowl from being played. Certainly won't help them win it.There is no "matchup".

....Because it means Gronk scored a TD, presumably with a ball that was thrown before Gronk spiked it.Regardless, Brady has apparently said that he likes the deflated ball.
lol okay.Can you imagine what would happen if Kraft says **** it to the 2015 season ? the loss of income to the NFL alone would be huge.
i can only see this whole **** storm getting worse before the SB
But the win will be so much better knowing how pissed off all the haters will be, Im choosing to embrace the hateThat's a terrible article.
It's sad when you not only have to root for the games, but also have to root for the exoneration of your accused team. Really pisses me off. We should be enjoying the prospect of the SB more than we are.
Hopefully, things go back to being normal again--although I'm not counting on it.
Someone should ask him if the Giants SB's BB won as DC there are legit?I can't wait till this is over. I like to listen to sports radio at my work site. It's NY's "The Fan". (I know, buts it's all I got). Craig Carton was actually not bad. A woman called (among many others), saying TB should be thrown out of the league. He's a bad influence on her grandkids. "Because he's cheated so many times". Carton tore her a new one. But Evan and Roberts went on all day (as well as their callers) about how many times BB cheated. Taping practices and walk throughs, bending and breaking rules...etc. Saying BB "is" cheating again. On and on, I think I heard the word "allegedly" once. Every caller is convinced we "cheated again". The Host's and callers really have no clue of what really happened. No matter what this come out as, it will be added as fact to list of rules broken. Francesa was the worst. I truly hate him. He's been going on for days about how it's BBs fault that he is always under scrutiny from being a repeat offender. This is a big deal IMO and will glad when it's over. The whole thing is a joke. I'm sure most teams manipulate the pressure a bit. We really need to start calling foul when other teams "bend" rules that most teams do and consider trivial. Turn the table. We are a marked team, and need to expose the exposers. Ok, I'm done with my rant. Bring on dislikes.
