When Brady was asked about underinflated footballs he laughed and said “I think now I’ve heard everything.” It struck me at the time as a very poor acting job. The laughter was over the top.

“I was talking about backyard football which is the market we’ve abandoned.”

It would be tough to produce a decent backyard football in the US for $10. I wonder if there is a market for a Made in the USA football in the $30-40 range that uses synthetic leather but good quality stitching and laces? I have a synthetic leather basketball that is almost indistinguishable from the real (i.e., leather) thing.

So I heard. So do those QB’s pay the ball boy to deflate them without the coach’s knowledge?

“If the mods want these things removed, they’ll remove them. In the meantime, if you don’t like them so much, ignore them.”

I’ll comment on stuff as I see fit. If you don’t like the fact that I disagree with you that’s just tough toenails! BTW, if you bother to look at the thread there were several folks who saw it the way i did. I guess you must be a closet DemoRAT wanting to shout down those with whom you disagree. Have a nice day wherever that might be.

I’m in agreement with you. This is the second cheating scandal for the Patriots, and I don’t think people will be keen on overlooking their cheating anymore. Integrity is supposed to count for something. I will always associate BB and TB with cheating. You can’t be winners if you’ve cheated to get there. This time, the Pats cheated in a post-game season.

I meant post-season game, not the other way around. Oops.

I am cheering one of the best Quarterbacks in history. I don’t look at politics with football and you shouldn’t either as a conservative. It is all about results and Tom Brady has proved himself.

I’m sorry; you see, you have it backwards. Democrats bitch and moan and point at things they don’t like. Republicans move along and get things done.

And the only reason I pointed out your thread in particular was that you added a racial element when none was necessary.

“Democrats bitch and moan and point at things they don’t like. “

Must have just come from a trip to the mirror huh! As far as Republicans moving along and getting things done, where do you see that? I wished that it were true (and I am still registered as one), but so far, I see very little by way of getting anything substantive done. As Dennis Miller just opined on O’Reilly, there is a connection between the Patriots having deflated balls and the Republicans.

All Republicans aren’t politicians. I’m talking about the hard working folks who roll their sleeves up and get things done.

"They deflated my balls too!!! Waa, waaa, waa..."
Seriously,folks, there's no denying a pattern of cheating permeates this organization.
Following the most egregious call to reverse the outcome of a playoff came, the tuck rule call, these clowns seem to have an entitlement mentality.
