Obviously, the Pats handicapped themselves in the 1st half so as to give the nation a good football game. When those nasty refs made them play with properly inflated balls in the 2nd half, the NFL lost a ton of money when people turned off the 2nd half onslaught.

Not a Pats' fan, but I find all this so hilarious. Actually, I do like Belichick because the media hates him due to his interviews where he gives such deep answers as 'yes', 'no', 'maybe'.

Nice try but the Baltimore Ravens believed the same thing was done in their game against New England the week before and the Patriots barely won that game.
