Saturday Night Live spoofs Patriots DeflateGate scandal

Saturday Night Live got its hands on Bill Belichick’s and Tom Brady’s balls Saturday night, spoofing the prickly pair with a mock press conference that transitioned into a raucous scene from “A Few Good Men.”

I think the 12th ball was kept at the proper pressure for use when the kicker was going for a field goal or extra point.

(My understanding is that each team submits its own dozen footballs for use by offense; and that the placekickers have 8 balls that are a separate pool -- and used by BOtH TEAMS. )

The score after halftime NE - 28 IN - 0 Looks like it didn’t help IN or hurt NE to have inflated balls.

#1...ONE of those TDs was a 13 yd drive set up by interception in which Brady didn't pass.

#2...the Pats had 1 more possession to score in the second half than the first.

#3...see my slippery slope comment here -- post #105

#4...

I think one of my most disappointed observations in FREEPERs is this argument.

Why?

Well, we're supposedly "conservative" and oppose Democratic ballotbox shenanigans.

Yet what this argument also exposes is that if a Dem candidate "would have won anyway" minus the shenanigans, that we should somehow remain quiet about the dead voting, or people voting multiple times.

It's frankly a utilitarian ethic that is relativist, NOT Christian ... in fact is distinctly UN Christian...militates vs. the truth and elevates falsehood, deceitfulness, etc.

Anyway, those who make this argument should simply "shut up" about Democratic shenanigans from now on...IF that Dem "would have won anyway"...IF they are going to be "consistent" and not hypocritical, that is.

I expect LIBERALS and some LIBERTARIANS to argue that way...NOT conservatives...and NOT Christians.

Thank you for your enlighting STRAWMAN arguement. It contributed absolutely nothing to the argument.
