The Seahawks will certainly find this interesting.

We don’t want to be the victims of cheating.

Again.

Corruption and zero ethics have become a way of life and too commonplace. Those that pull it off are rarely prosecuted or held accountable, and so they will do it again.

No one in power wants to disrupt the establishment even if it is crooked. This will be covered up because if true it will taint the Super Bowl and all those advertising dollars.

I agree completely. Walt Anderson is also responsible for this lack of attention to the rules. Refs can tell immediately if the game balls are under-inflated, and Anderson either was negligent or purposefully skipped the inspection.

That is the source referenced by the linked article. The linked article is from Indy.

I think Anderson was in on the gig. Belichick probably had some dirt on him, or slipped him some money!

Indy will be and always will be an also ran. With the great Manning, your team won only one Super Bowl. Brady has 3 and is working on 4 at this moment. Two of NE Super Bowl losses were lost on a fluke pass play each time.

I read about a year ago that Manning is completely eaten up that Brady has three rings and he has one - soon to be 4 rings to one.

LOL, I’ll bet the Seahawks are all over it as we speak...they probably have special team meetings just to figure out what to do with all of this.

Both teams played with the same ball, so what is the big deal?

The Patriots are making me do the unthinkable and that’s root for Pete Carroll and the Seahawks in the Superbowl

LOL, that would be a great photoshop, but Pagano seems like a smart enough guy, so you couldn’t put his head on Queeg...he probably doesn’t want anything to do with this.

Beats me. I think the Patriots pass more, so perhaps it helps with the passing? Rules are rules I guess - but not sure it makes that much of a difference. Especially in that blow-out.

I’ve heard that Marshawn Lynch has offered to let the Patriots play with underinflated balls as long as he gets to wear his gold-flake cleats. /s

The person who began the thread posted the link to Indy, that is what I was referencing. But ESPN is kind of in the same boat, intellectually speaking.

I was reading an article on there a while back, and they referred to the Redskins as the “R**sk*ns”. That is probably in their stylebook now. But that is the theatre of the absurd at its best!

Each team uses its own bowls when they are on offense.

Sports is entertainment and an escape from all the troubles in life and work. We see enough unfair cheating in life and in politics and the government. NOW comes New England Patriots with their blatant cheating, and their quarterback, and other Pat. players laughing about it. Enough is enough.
