Oh, well, I'm posting here until the Pats are brought to justice.
I think he's right in that nothing can be worse than 18-1.
It's like 18-1 for me. Avoiding the local news, ESPN and talk radio. Trying to stay off Twitter too

I really don't get the defense of the actions when it amounts to, "they were only cheating a little bit!".
Cheating is cheating. I don't think anyone should be suspended but they need to own it and be punished.

who's defending that it's okay to cheat even a little bit? Right now we don't know for sure that they even purposefully deflated the balls. Apparently neither does the NFL. Only the footballs know....and the souls of the dead animals' hides used to make them
though what I don't understand is why Brady doesn't squeeze the balls that he evaluates, knowing that he likes the balls to be at 12.5 psi. Wouldn't he then know the difference between what the pressure feels like? Seems amateur that Brady just loses all knowledge of the footballs he selected once he's out on the field, but I'm not a QB or Brady so I can't say for sure but that's my two cents
Year and make of the car?
I feel like changing the brakes and rotors for front and back for a car can go from 600 to 1500.

Front brakes and rotors cost me over $500, but I've seen people say it should be like $300. I drive a foreign german car so parts are more expensive for me typically
Though you should call some other shops that aren't dealerships and get some other quotes
05 Accord. Go in for an oil change and now need brakes, serpantine belt, front exhaust...got me wondering about those shady fucks. It was crickets the last time I went in for an oil change. I have to go in to get an airbag replacement regardless since they recalled mine that could shoot shrapnel into me !!!

Are your brakes low? Do they make a noise when you use them?

The patriots players that benefited from it should be suspended from the Superbowl along with their coach.
The Steelers benefit from getting to practice on their shit-stain of a playing surface every home game.

So let me get this straight, Brady says he knows he likes his balls at exactly 12.5 PSI, but can't tell the difference when there is over two PSI less?
You probably posted the most in that thread. Lulz
This thread isn't much fun anymore either :/

There are plenty of folks saying this is an overreaction or that it doesn't matter. I agree with folks pumping the breaks on serious punishments though. I just want some honesty. There's already enough two faced shitty stuff surrounding this sport. The last thing I want to see is cheating and zero integrity.
What we do know: both teams had their footballs tested before, and after.
The patriots clocked in at regulation. Ended up well below. The colts didn't. Deflated footballs are easier to grip, throw, and hold.
I seriously doubt some rogue ballboy did this. It wasn't weather, It wasn't spiking, and however it happened - it was almost certainly intentional. What we don't know is who knew. I'll concede that.
Yeah back when there were people who actually kept up with this stuff. I don't feel like outlining the facts every time someone posts something like this:
There's nothing else to talk about anyway though.

I don't understand why they would lie with the risk that they would get caught
Sometimes silence is better than the sound of beating a dead horse. It's just the same shit over and over ad nauseum. There is plenty more to talk about. Who is going to cover Gronk? What crazy formations may the Pats pull out this time. But no, instead it's this shit over and over and over. It's like I'm reading ESPN in here for the past week.

They would lie if they know the lie is already covered.

Same reason why anyone cheats. They consider the benefits vs the chance of being caught and make the choice.

KJ Wright with a side of Kam.
Some formation where a fattty OL is eligible.
Anything else to ask for Sir Konka?

Mark Brunell was shaken to his core, Jerome Bettis almost handed him a terrible towel to soak up the tears while calling bullshit on Tammy, Brian Dawkins almost threw up like McNabb in the Super Bowl at the cowardice on display in front of Flexball.
God forbid people want to talk about football leading up to the biggest game of the year instead of the equivalent TMZ level shit.
1) Kam Chancellor and/or KJ Wright. Or someone else. It depends on where he lines up.
In short, we don't know.
2) Probably none, they've put it on tape too many times to catch people off guard by now.
Whichever one gets better blocking and doesn't fumble.
If you expect the ball to be at 12.5 PSI.
You touch and feel each ball, And they're all to your liking, I don't get what's so difficult to believe that with the pressure of the game, you're not going to notice an almost indiscernible difference.
Now add to the fact that it is colder outside and raining, even if he had noticed that some felt a little off, again, how would he know that it was due to air pressure and not the cold/rain.
The balls would have had to naturally deflate a little bit, throughout the game, so you're going under the assumption that he would have had to feel the difference between 12.5 PSI and 12.25? 12.0?
And adding credence to the notion that he wasn't paying attention, they replaced the game balls at halftime and didn't tell New England. And his passer rating nearly doubles? 12/14, 3 TD and 0 INT's?
If they're guilty, I hope it's found out and they're punished. Especially if both just lied to our faces.
The only way the NFL will do anything about it more than a negligable fine is if the fans make a huge outcry against cheating. The topic is worth keeping alive to make cheats think twice before cheating.
I feel like the Patriots could get a decent game out of LeGarrette Blount if they commit to rushing it. I fear it'll be like last year's game against Denver, after Blount's big game against the Colts, where they fall behind and never get the chance to establish the run.

We gang tackle pretty hard. So big guys who run people over usually don't do well against us. But the tricky speedy, midget that run misdirection.... oh we hate those guys.

Colts played outside too. Their balls ended the game at regulation.
Fall behind though?
If our Run D can look somewhat decent. I find it hard to believe the Seattle receivers do much. Especially after the Green Bay game. Especially with Revis, Browner Arrington and Ryan playing out of their mind as of late.
That isn't really helpful without more detail.
If the Pats inflate the ball to the very lowest PSI allowed and Indy inflates it to the highest PSI, assuming the same rate of deflation, Indy's would still be at regulation.
Meh, I'd be shocked if they do anything. They only care about money, and this doesn't lose them any.
you and jabee should start a club for people who think their opinions are important
You always make false assumptions bread.
Joe Theismann can't either.

No punishment at all would probably increase super bowl ratings.
If only they still had Danny Woodhead.

D'qwell Jackson says he didn't notice anything
Shane Vereen is pretty good!
Vereen is good. It'd be a bonus to still have Ridley around though.
