Belicheck had nothing to do with the inflated level of the balls. Get real.

Drank the Kool Aid long ago, eh?

A control freak like Belichick... with a notorious temper... you really think ANYONE in that organization would do a single thing that could impact the game without his approval?? You're clearly being willfully ignorant.

In the Sunday night game versus the Chargers: Ryan Matthews was running the ball very effectively. He was illegally tripped and injured on a play. Cris Collinsworth even remarked, somewhat angrily, “And that is why that is illegal. It gets running backs hurt.” The Chargers offense changed considerably after that, and they lost the game.

Funny, Collinswirth never mentioned it again, or how the Chargers suddenly were having trouble running the ball.

I suspect Belicheat ordered a hit on Matthews. “That kid is chewing us up out there. Take him out.”

A "notorious temper?" When have you ever seen Belicheck's "temper?" He isn't warm and cuddly, but he's never "enraged!" He's calm and understated at all times, never happy and never mad.

And he would never alter the air in a ball. With all the cameras around an NFL game, they should have all the proof they need of who did what.

I'll make up my mind once all the info is in. Anyone who decides this before then is just another Patriots Hater. Patriots and Palin--hate's good enough for both of them, huh? Let's just believe what Tina Fey says about them!
