I wanted the Colts to win but New England was dominate.
Where was the Colts defense? Sputtering.
That is a declarative statement, where is your proof.
Liberals make opinion statements and call them facts.
Did you attend the bob beckel school of facts/opinion all the same?
The Pats are an incredibly effective team and Brady is a superior quarterback - conceded. They also have a history of "bending the rules" to create an unfair advantage - if the were golfers they would be kicked out of the PGA.
Thirty years ago! I don’t remember who they were playing but I remember the event.
ping
The Dolphins.
If deflated footballs is a really big deal to the NFL then they need to do a better job policing the rule. The fact that they don’t is telling.
I also have 3 air pressure gauges in my garage that measure different from each other albeit within 3 psi. Compare the gauges with each other if they still exist. :-)
They were tested and 11 of 12 were found to be deflated below the league minimum psi. Thus, they were illegally deflated.
Not even close to the facts.
11 of 12 balls had air pressure lower than 12.5 psi but there is no proof that they were illegally deflated.
Your second sentence is much like you, thus full of crap.
Is that you beckel?
Methinks someone has a crush...
They were deflated somehow to an illegal weight. Now, how that happened is still being investigated — and for once, Richard Sherman may be right — but that they were deflated and that the weight to which thy were deflated was illegal (whatever the cause) is a simple statement of fact. You know that, but you are apparently in denial.
Belichick claims that the deflation was caused by the cold weather or some other external factor, but the league now seems to have video of a Patriots’ ball girl deflating them. Now, do you really think that would have happened without Belichick and/or Brady knowing about it? Really?
Even they admit that it happened, though.
Won’t work on me. I haven’t watched a super bowl game in years. Football bores me.
Nope -- my team beat him -- TWICE!!!
Over 70 replies and not ONE pic of his wife? You people have screwed up. Big time.

I'm not in denial, the pressure, {psi, pounds per square inch} was lower than 12.5 psi, the weight of the football, did not change.
You are really too ignorant to argue with, but it has been amusing
The league DOES NOT HAVE a video of a ball girl deflating any balls, footballs, brady's balls, spitballs or basketballs.
Your last sentence is the most ridiculous of all because NO ONE admits that the weight of the ball changed only that the air pressure was lowered.
How much do you think that a pound of air pressure weighs? Do you even know what a (psi) pound of air pressure means?
The video’s existence was reported on the news. They supposedly hvae it. Your flat-out denial is simply ignorance wrapped in denial. The report obviously could be erroneous — that happens — but it was reported.
Again, the balls were below the legal weight — 11 of 12 of them. Nobody denies that except you. It’s a fact. To deny a fact is either ignorant or simply being in denial.
Belichick claims cold weather or some other external factor was responsible for teh below-weight balls. He doesn’t deny it, as you do. Neither does Brady. They just claim that they were not responsible.
Now, if they didn’t know anything about it, then whoever was responsible acted with no authority. I don’t think it was Mother Nature; do you? Now, the nice explanation, given that we have Brady on video in ‘06 saying he prefers (slightly) deflated balls (one hopes that he means towards the low end of the legal weight, but he did say that he prefers them deflated), would be that the ballboys/ballgirls inflated them to something close to the minimum weight, then they naturally deflated below it. Possible, but in my judgment, not likely.
And do you think that the ballboys/ballgirls chose the weight to which to inflate the balls without either Brady or Belichick (or both) having input on the matter? (This what they would have us believe.) I find that difficult to believe.
The Patriots have been caught cheating before. Look up Spygate. Were this some other team, this story might be over by now. But given the Patriots prior record, there is a strong presumption that they are up to something not quite above board.
Your absolute denial that it’s even possible that the Pats could have cheated calls into question everything you have to say.
Weight is measured on a scale, like your brain pictured below:
Air pressure is measured with a pressure gauge, and has NOTHING TO DO WITH WEIGHT.
Eleven of the Patriots’ twelve footballs were below the legal PSI. The league tested them. It’s not my problem that you can’t seem to get this. It’s not disputed. The league tested them.
I know you don’t want to admit that.
Now, do you really think this just happened by accident or that some rogue employee did it without either Brady or Belichick knowing about it?
The Patriots do have a record of cheating.
