After everything that is going on the last few days, i am very proud to be a Colts fan.
Days like these, we can really put things under perspective.
Great loyal fans, QB and coaches. We conduct ourselves with honesty, integrity and high morals.
GO COLTS !!
except for that time you got caught pumping in crowd noise
or that time you lost on purpose for the #1 pick
or that time you did it again
or your owner who hasnt found a substance he doesnt like
or your star WR shooting up half of south Philly
or the fact that it was your star quarterback who got the rules changed to allow footballs to be doctored by QBs
-
I would play the pats again!! If they win again and not break the rules wouldn't that be better for a patriots image going into the Super Bowl?
28-0 in the half with confirmed legal balls
-
to clarify a misconception in here.
The fact that the Colts balls were in the acceptable range at halftime does not rule out the weather factor. They said the Colts balls were legal at half, NOT that they had lost no air.
If the Colts fill theirs to the top of the range, they could lose air and still be legal. We know the Patriots fill theirs to the lowest allowed pressure, so losing any air would make them illegal.
We also havent had the 2psi figure confirmed either.
Not claiming it was the weather, just pointing out things that need to be clarified from the league before judgements are made

In the perspectives outside of "PatsNation", that's two major cheating scandals that affected three superbowl victories and now possibly one more...
only because people dont know the rules that were broken in Spygate.
1. taping opposing coaches was LEGAL
2. it couldnt be done on the sidelines
3. the Pats did if from the sideline after the change
Taping signs was not the violation. The location of the camera was
and let me save you the time "rabble rabble, cheaters, rabble rabble"
-
I was never one to be terribly outraged by spygate. But the pattern here is undeniable. This sort of thing is ruining this sport.
I was talking to my brother over the holiday and he said, he's about reached the point where there is so much crime among players and corruption in organizations that he's about done being a football fan.
I can see a lot of people feeling that way. I won't watch the superbowl. My sympathies to the SeaHawks
for what? You do realize they have tarnished the "integrity" of the game as much as anyone else, right? They far and away lead the league in performance enhancing drug suspensions.
-
I obviously don't know, but I have to think that a lot of people are underestimating the amount of pressure that Goodell is under after the mishandling of the Ray Rice incident. I have to think that the heat is on for him to show that he has control of this league and that he's going to maintain its integrity.
agreed.
i think this whole investigation of measuring the balls, interviewing staff, etc that the league has done the past few days is a result of them getting egg on their face from Ray Rice.
If not for the Ray Rice incident, this is simply a fine handed down on Monday morning and that'd be the end of it. They are covering their own tails and making sure there's no way damning evidence comes out after they have already punished the Pats
-
Unfortunately you are correct. Another way of the Pats to get an advantage but not being caught. Just like how Al Capone made it through life.
yup. not the 1st to skate on a technicality and wont be the last
-
So your argument is that the Patriots deflated the footballs to help the opposition? Interesting defense strategy there.
its the placebo effect.
corking the bat has been proven to lower the amount of power a hitter has. it makes it harder to hit home runs because there is less inertia. but players still do it because they think it makes it easier.
-
there's going to be a lot of disappointed folks here. without actual evidence that brady/belichick/whomever altered the balls after the inspection, there's not going to be anything harsher than an orgazinational fine.
and no the psi being different is not proof the Patriots doctored the balls.
-
I agree in part on the word dynasty being overused. It seems in football it is used to denote the team of the decade. Ironically enough, the league's 5 dynasties had their best years basically in 10 year spans.
60s - Packers
70s - Steelers
80s - 49ers
90s - Cowboys
00s - Patriots
10s - ???
Most of the 'who is the next dynasty' talk is driven by entertainment outlets like ESPN. They are constantly annointing things in all sports as "The Next ______". Whether its LeBron being the next Jordan, Crosby being the next Gretzky, Wilson being the next Brady/Montana. They live to endlessly hype things
-
since he is so concerned with the integrity of the game, Im assuming he is going to pull himself out of the Superbowl? Or does popping Adderall like tic tacs not count
-
I hope the NFL gets to the bottom of this.. it was 14-7 in the first half, but fortunately the refs identified those defective footballs and got proper ones onto the field for the Pats in the 2nd half and they could start operating their offense like normal, outscoring Indy 28-0.
I really hope they find out what made them so defective, they should check all the cameras to make sure the Colts weren't sabotaging them by letting some air out
Shhhhhh, no facts allowed. Just pitchforks and torches
-
Brady instructed the balls to be under inflated after they were checked by the refs. Your hero is a lie. I imagine this is how Gotham felt when finding out Harvey dent was a murderer
source? or just more pathetic hyperbole.
go pump some more crowd noise in, maybe you'll beat the Pats at home
-
if hes not suspended from the SB and its pushed to next year and he gets to win and gets crowned and a parade then the entire country sees it as "wow you can get away with cheating"
You do realize that the Seahawks have far and away had the most Adderall and steroids suspensions under Pete
-
Meaning the Pats would give us a first round pick to make us whole despite the fact the game was a romp, we still got cheated on in the championship game.
except that's not how it works. if a pick is taken away, its just a lost pick, no one gets it.
2nd no chance in hell it'll be a 1st rounder. Spygate was a 1st rounder

I'll tell you what. We'll only count the points the Pats scored with confirmed legal balls.
Pats 28
Colts 7
-
well I'm not sure what is going to happen, but if the pats are allowed to play, I am going to boycott the game, hoping that every other integrity loving American that wants the NFL to be held to a level of standards, boycott's the game too, resulting in a significant dip in ratings, resulting in backlash from sponsors & advertising...
So during the game, I'll be at the Red Lobster if anyone changes their mind !!!
bwahahaha, that is rich. i love the Midwest naviety. you actually believe any franchise has a shred of integrity? really?
-
since you guys are so concerned with the integrity of the game, i can only assume you were all blasting the Colts throughout the Suck For Luck year? Afterall, tanking is far bigger slap in the face of integrity than doctoring balls.
I also assume the baseball fans amongst you get equally enraged at teams that steal signs and doctor balls, right?
Or any hockey fans in the group must have en eagle eye looking for inconsistencies in a player's stick curve
-
Funny that the colts balls checked out
source? link?
-
For the kind of PSI loss that is being reported a drastic weather change is needed
for an object with an air tight seal, yes.
a football is not remotely close to being air tight.
-
Not sure if this is brought up in the 33 page thread but in case it isn't here it is....
There is no need to investigate and prove that this was done to punish New England. I'm sure the NFL would love to get to the bottom of it but here's what I'm saying.
The Colts balls have been found to be OK. So that lets weather out of the equation.
The 11 Pat balls all show the same amount of deflation .. 2 lbs.
The above makes it 100% guilty of tampering with the balls. There is no way in heck a jury would deliberate more than 15 minutes on this one.
If already covered ... delete this
no they haven't. there has been no announcement or credible leak on this yet. just a passing comment on Mike and Mike
-
If the balls were inspected pre game and they were in spec, then failed at half time. The patriots will have to explain the reasons why. All of the colts balls were in spec
there's no confirmed report of any results regarding the Colts balls.
-
oh no...yawn.
I dont care what anyone else thinks of the Pats, just keep on winning.
Haters gonna hate
Patriots being investigated for Deflating footballs.....(Mega Merge)
