Yes, and they do nothing about it.

They were found guilty of cheating in spygate.

In playoff games, note how well the Patriots play at home and how poorly they play away from home.

“Looser always look for a reason ... “

Begging the question AND circular argument.

The charge(s) is/are made that the Patriots cheat to win. Serious charges for most sports fans. Clearing throat, that is, honest fans/

Like a guy getting caught at the table with an ace up his sleeve, Patriots’ fans reply, “You’re just sore losers.”.

Ohkayy. As Hillary might agree, “What difference does it make?” Let’s just move along ... nothing to see here.

Not that I think this is COMPLETELY irrelevant. No, I see it a bit like analogous to, in the world of auto related infractions, getting caught feeding the meter.

I see it as having too much rosin on the bat. Not the end of the world.

But the e-mails from the ball boy indicate that the deflation was intentional, and undoubtedly Brady was giving the order. He'll probably be suspended for a game or two.

What nobody can come up with is a good reason for it to be against the rules. The Pats have an amazing ability to find rules that make people wonder who got paid to write that stupid thing.

As a Steeler fan I’d love to see Brady suspended for the first game of the year. Though as a general football that feels kind of retarded.

If you ain’t cheatin’ you ain’t trying. And you ain’t winning. There’s rules and there’s nanny state BS. Why is there even a standard on football pressure? So the girls can play? It doesn’t matter how much air is in the ball being caried by the dumbass that I’m going to put the wood to. But the air is going to leave his balloon for a few seconds. And If a QB has time to mull over the fine touch/texture of pigskin then I’m giving him too much time to work on the details.

I’ve been pretty sure it was intentional from the git-go. I may not know football, but being a man, I know the heart of man. ;-)

***There is no proof of anything***

Thanks, Hillary.

Piles of circumstantial evidence but since nobody will fess up to doing it and there were no witnesses it can’t be proven.

If the temperature is decreased and the football is wet the pressure of the air in the football will drop.

In the second half of the game in question the Patriots scored 28 unanswered points after the footballs were inflated.

The “investigation” had to justify their time(four months) and expense. They just said “more probable than not” when giving their opinions.

I don’t care if he threw for 1000 yards.... that has nothing to do with going outside the rules to try to gain an unfair advantage. Isn’t that what the guys who get suspended for PEDs do? Can you prove they actually got an unfair advantage?

***The “investigation” had to justify their time(four months) and expense. They just said “more probable than not” when giving their opinions.***

Yeah, you’re right. What the NFL wanted was to brand a future Hall of Famer AND one of their premiere franchises as cheaters. They’ve done it before..... what makes you think they’re not doing it this time?

You’re no different than the Clintonistas who turn a blind eye to what they do.

***If the temperature is decreased and the football is wet the pressure of the air in the football will drop.***

So then why didn’t that happen with the Colts balls.... did the weather only affect the Patriots sideline?

Before you make a fool of yourself any further you might actually try reading the report. You can actually start at the bottom of Page 44 like I did and read about 6 or 7 pages. That ought to be enough to turn off the crocodile tears.

The Patriots employee who deflated balls REALLY doesn't like Tom Brady

Warning, lots of language... to be expected with Boston area text conversations. Even ordering soup usually has 3-4 expletives.

I think the Patriots are a great team. I could care less about this. Brady is the best Quarterback in football history with Joe Montana. He will survive this witch hunt. Jealousy over a Republican Football Player is the reason they even wasted a penny over this.
