Brady: "I prefer softer balls"
Posted on 01/22/2015 7:24:55 AM PST by Biggirl
Coach Bill Belichick said he did not know of any issue with the Patriots’ game balls in Sunday’s AFC Championship, and did not learn the league was investigating his team until Monday morning. He also said he did not know how the Patriots’ footballs became underinflated during the game.

Julian Edelman’s uniform was covered with tiny mirrors that acted as an invisibility cloak....
Sarcasm duly noted. Seriously, something’s wrong with a person who is proud of cheating. Doesn’t matter if it’s a Democrat bigwig, or a Pat’s player, coach, or fan.
If you cheat, you’re reputation is mud...forevermore.
Brady: "I prefer softer balls"
And Tom Brady actually had a bionic arm attached at halftime which gave him 25% more accuracy on all throws in the 2nd half....
The NFL has more type-As and control freaks per capita than anywhere in the world. This “I didn’t know” stuff is pure BS. Of course Belichick knew.
Just like his balls, Brady’s reputation has been deflated. What a winner*!
Never cheated on your taxes? Obey ALL those IRS rules? Seriously...?
What a winner*!

If I were a Hawks fan (which I’m not), I would buy five or six of those Nerf balls and thrown them on the field.
I’m actually a Raidahs’ fan. I wish they’d have enough presence of mind to do something to a football other than bury it....
Any other rules we should just forget about?
Due to the score the Colts eventually had to throw more in adverse conditions which helped set up the Patriots with short fields. That game situation was evidently set up using partially deflated footballs.
From a total game management standpoint,this is a big deal. I’ve been around enough football teams and coaching staffs in my time to be able to say that.
Seriously? I don’t cheat on my taxes, and never have.
I heard he blamed his ex-wife and Bernie Kosar.
Smart! Risk getting kicked out of the Superbowl and possibly having a penalty called on your team....

You’re obviously not a business owner who takes in cash on a daily basis. If you were, I’m sure you’d declare every nickel. I’ve worked with business owners for 25 years. You’d be the first dumb enough to declare it all....
You’re right...I’m not a business owner.
I assume you’re a person with average hand strength comparable to what most refs have (but not at the level of an NFL pro). Get two footballs and inflate one to 10.5 PSI and the other to 12.5 PSI and see if you can feel the difference by just holding them loosely in your palm as the refs do.
The Pats lost draft choices for filming other teams in violation of the rules and obviously learned nothing from it. This was not an accident or a grey area. This was a deliberate violation, again, of known NFL rules. The league should up the punishment accordingly.
having a penalty called on your team....

If I were a Hawks FAN...not team MEMBER. Ballacheck, the Patriots and Brady are known for cheating now they’ll just have to suck it up and deal with it.
. Russell didn't want that. He didn't want any photos unless it was taken by a kid or family member. Then he came back the next week, and the week after that, etc. He is giving comfort and diversion to those kids and doesn't want any publicity for it. That is admirable.
