It's not like they can disqualify the win, can they? Probably lose their late round draft picks

100% the fault of the refs.
Its their job to check the balls.
Its also 50% the fault of the NFL for letting teams bring their own balls. Whose idiot idea was that?

Wonder what the punishment will be.
Probably a large fine and lose a couple mid-round draft picks.

This is pretty fucking interesting now. Under-inflated by 2lbs each? Wow.
It wouldn't of matter anyways with what the Colts were doing, but shit man.

super bowl should be cancelled
At the most.
You don't punish the result, you punish the cheating. If they would have won anyway, they cheated. Even if they lost, they cheated.
OP needs to learn how to make a thread! NFL hasn't confirmed that.
I would say yes.
Its more like pine tar on a pitcher in baseball, but its a bigger deal the fact that the Patriots are caught cheating again

Yes - it's new news - news that we did not have before which is at the core of what the story is about.

Just disband and fold the entire league >.>
I kinda think it does TBH. Wouldn't have gone back in that thread until I heard it on espn tomorrow. And since it's confirmed this is kind of a pretty large shift in the discussion.

It had no impact on the game since the Pats destroyed the Colts anyway.
But it shows that the Pats are still cheaters and pathetic which is hilarious.

Due to the weather conditions the balls became better to throw and catch if I understand it right.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Time for more asterisks if they end up winning the SB then?

Does confirmation the Patriots cheated in an AFC Championship game count as new news?
Yes. Yes it does.

The NFL is notoriously cheap. They need an official to handle all game balls.
Teams should not handle game balls.
Jesus Fucking CHRIST this team.... Goddamn it must be hard to be a fan. Why in the fuck would they do this? Did they REALLY think they fucking needed to cheat against Indy?
Cmon now. They are just doing shit for the sake of doing shit. Embarassing.
Yes, GAF has had a "New thread for new news" rule for a while now.

Home team supplies baseballs, but anyone on either side or officials can ask for a new ball pretty much at any time.
There should already do that for the other ones.
