And people thought this rivalry was dead? lol

 

But, this story is huge. It really is. It's going to be THE Super Bowl hype story too. Will be interesting to see what actually happens in the big game now. Hell it even makes the Seahawks look like choir boys.

 

Richard Sherman's rant last year not looking so bad now eh?

The cool thing about this is that even if the Patriots win the Super Bowl (which they shouldn't be in) it still won't be legitimate. 

I hope Seattle destroys them, but it is hard to really root for wither team because I'm not a fan of either coach. I'm looking forward to Katy Perry... but no one can top Prince who was the best halftime show ever with Purple Rain in the rain.

And what's crazy is that with that many picks, at least 45% of the mocks would be close to being right

And then Grigson could really take his "project players" that he seems to love so much at the RIGHT times in the draft

 

So, why exactly are you turning a thread about the Patriots caught cheating -- red handed -- into an opportunity to bash the Colts with most every post?      Your reason would be...........    what?

Yeah, uhh, I'd call that nonsense, but that would be too kind. Because what it really is is an eight letter word that describes the defecations of large, horned livestock. But we don't use that word here.

 

Pretty cute how BB just said we're co operating and Brady said "I won't even address it." Nasty ... nasty people.

I'm still hoping for Weird Al to get to do the halftime show. https://www.change.org/p/tracy-perlman-nfl-vice-president-have-weird-al-yankovic-headline-the-super-bowl-xlix-halftime-show

you still need to prove the balls were tampered with before any penalties can be applied.

 

The chain of command for the balls is:

 

theyre submitted to officials for approval

the officials hold on to the approved balls until kick off

the balls are given to the ball boy at kickoff and all are held by the ball boy throughout the game

 

considering how many tv cameras there are theres no where to hide on a sideline.  So if the balls were deflated after the fact there must be video evidence.  And unless said evidence is found, there's no proof of tampering.

 

but in reality the hate orgy is in full swing so facts arent allowed...

Is your head spinning yet? It should be from the amount of spin from this and your previous posts.

Troy Vincent, the league's senior executive vice president of football operations, told ProFootballTalk.com earlier Tuesday that the NFL expected to wrap up its investigation in "two or three days."

Yet to be determined is what, if any, penalties may be imposed upon Patriots. One source described the league as "disappointed ... angry ... distraught," after spending considerable time on the findings earlier Tuesday.

Part of the investigation that still needs further vetting is how the 11 footballs became underinflated. The above comments come from here. http://espn.go.com/boston/story/_/id/12202450/nfl-says-new-england-patriots-had-inflated-footballs-afc-championship-game

For the league to be dissapointed, angry, and distraught means to me that they know something really bad happened... and now they are just going through everything with a fine tooth comb. They will find the person, or persons involved.

sorry, but these latest findings mean nothing.  Of course a ball is going to lose pressure over the course of being used in a game.

 

on top of that the measurements were done 48 hours after the game.  that is well beyond reasonable, especially for something like PSI

 

11 of 12 balls all 2 pounds under norm. LOL

 

And the balls were tested during the game, where do you get they were tested 48 hours later?

Listening to Steve Young on ESPN right now talking about how this really doesn't give a great advantage. WHAT THE HELL? Not the point. They cheated, again, on their way to the SB.

 

 

 

 

I just listened to Young and thought he was reasonable . He seemed to say that some QB's would really prefer an under inflated ball in that weather. Then went on to pretty much say they were * for spy gate and this one if it's proved they messed with the balls.

I'm sure DB's would "prefer" to be able to make contact with a WR even after 5 yards, but that's not the case

Rules are rules, no matter what individual people "prefer". You can't go tampering with rules man, society would be in chaos

      Colts Texans post game reaction

      By ColtStrong2013 · Posted

      To an extent. The difference in my opinion being that you make the offense make the plays and drive the field, and Houston seemingly made all the big moment plays. I think Houston would say they’d rather have seen us drive the field than give those plays up…   I just don’t see a great deal of the offense’s in this league making those plays like they did. My issue with the harsh criticism of our defense is that it’s in a way discrediting Houston’s offense, and that’s a problem for me, because they played exceptionally well and are poised for a very big year.

      Like always Ballard holds on to coaches too long. But I guess keeping Bradley is Shane’s choice as well and we should trust him.

      Richardson TD to Pierce

      By cbear · Posted

      How would 12-19 sound? Because the interception intended for grandson was the turfs fault. The missed throw to AD was AD not being sure of the route to run. He even put up his hands at the line of scrimmage as if tho say he didn't know the play. And there was another obvious drop by somebody (Pittman?). Considering everything, he had a very good game.

      Honestly I think the defensive staff said we know they are going to score but we want that limited to field goals. And we want to make them drive the ball down field multiple plays. The plan would've worked if we didn't have a poor run defense plan.

      This is why it’s hard for me to get excited because we kind of know how this ends. Offense will great but the defense loses us games. We will be one game short of the playoffs and Bradley most likely is gone. The sad thing though we miss the playoffs again. I think it was demoralizing for players with that plan yesterday. Players want to be physical. When you don’t let them play it’s very demoralizing.
