Consider yourself ignored.

I actually have caught (and thrown) quite a few footballs in my time. I don’t know that the less inflated ones make a difference.

Without facts to back up either position, we’ll just have to disagree.

Get over it. The Pats didn't beat the Rams because they “taped” their walk through. The Pats beat the Rams because Belichick completely out coached Mike Martz.

Touchy, touchy. I said nothing about that stuff, but the fact that you read it that way tells me that you know they misbehaved. Such misbehavior is wrong even if it would not change the outcome of the game.

My own take on the game actually includes a lot of other factors besides the the taped walked through, but I was more interested in showing that even a Rams fan who has no use for the Patriots can let Cruz make his joke without being affronted.

I know. They’re all ripping us off.

The ball handler would not dare do anything illegal without a wink and a nod and encouragement from either the coach or the quarterback.

But how do you know that? Could it not be a real fan trying to help his team, in an admittedly unethical way?

"If you didn’t understand the joke, then you’re too stupid to vote."

Nothing new to add, it just needed to be repeated.

Fans do not get to handle the balls during the game.
And there is a video of the team ball handler taking the balls into the rest room!

Statics on dropped/fumbled balls is crystal clear in case of Patriot’s records.

Fans do not get to handle the balls during the game.

You don't think the ball handler wasn't a fan? he was probably unpaid.

“My own take on the game actually includes a lot of other factors besides the the taped walked through, but I was more interested in showing that even a Rams fan who has no use for the Patriots can let Cruz make his joke without being affronted.”

I’m not touchy. I’m just sick of the myth that the reason the Pats beat the Rams was because they cheated. The Pats smacked the Rams in the mouth. I totally agree Mike Vrabel should have been called for roughing the quarterback when he smashed Warner’s face mask on his interception to Ty Law. The same could be said of Charles Woodson during the “tuck rule” call in the divisional round. He smashed Brady’s face. It happens. The Pats DB’s certainly got away with some hits that were not exactly clean. But the truth remains, Belichick completely out coached Martz. If Dick Vermeil was still the coach, I’m sure the Rams would have won.

Ball handler is always an emplyee of the team.

[BuckeyeTexan]

So you’re saying that they couldn’t count their balls and get the same number twice?

[Gargantua]

Entropy is a process-defunct Brady-hater. You won't get through. But you'll enjoy Brady's defense taking this to Federal Court and exposing the players behind-the-scenes who fabricated this entire fiasco.

Goodell won't go after 'em (hell, 3 are League employees), and Brady won't let them slip away unscathed after this all-out assault on his integrity.

It's about to blow up in all their complicit faces. One source claims Brady has spent over $10-Mil ( as in ten million!!!) on investigators alone. Get 'em, Tom.
