    I really don't think that at all. I've told you everything I know.

    If you don't think all teams are trying to find different ways to get ahead I don't know what to tell you.

    I know, Rex tried to sneak 12 men on the field multiple times.

    I'm glad you have realized now that the Rams walk through was not part of the Spygate investigation. Carry on.

    I think the NFL is going to try to break up the cartel in Boston. They're just not sure how to do it yet. It's become too embarrassing to the sport at this point after repeated incidents.

    It also begs the question why he said "prefers" as if he has used under inflated balls in games before. I don't see why you would practice with under inflated balls , that seems more a deterrent than an advantage.

    The Jets lost to the Pats by a combined THREE POINTS! Could the score have been different if Pretty Boy Tom-Pom couldn't fit his hands around the football so easily? Could there have been a fumble because a regulation ball is harder to grip? Perhaps. Would Rex have been fired if he beat the Pats twice?

    You can say this is a stretch, but the fact is they didn't decide to deflate 11 balls just for the Colt game. This has been gong on for awhile.

    Just like Mike Martz might still be coaching if he hadn't been cheated out of a Super Bowl victory. The shit the Pats pull does not occur in a vacuum. It effects the rest of the NFL and it's fans. That is why there is such an uproar.

    I was mocking Jet fans who bash everyone out the door and have no appreciation for anyone that helped us win.

    I heard they overinflated balls b/c they weren't worried about us.

    Has anyone interviewed (interrogated) the ballboy yet? Has he suddenly taken a vacation to Fiji and can't be contacted? Where is the ballboy or whomever is in charge of the footballs? You'd think he would come forward as it certainly looks like he's being setup to be the patsy in all of this.

    This is the kind of stuff that looks really bad and could be spun as definitely an indication of cheating.

    The problem is that some people are just better at not throwing int's and fumbling than others. Those of us who had the pleasure of watching Curtis Martin run are well aware of that. If you'd charted his career vs the other top backs you'd have had a similar spike in the 1 slot.

    I've also been thinking about a throwaway comment that Aaron Rodgers made on the controversy. He said he likes his balls over-inflated, which makes them very hard. An over-inflated ball is harder to catch and harder to intercept. Which NFL QB has had just silly low interception numbers over the last 7 years? Aaron Rodgers.

    I'm guessing the NFL is going to have to take custody of the game footballs and add an official on the sidelines to manage them. That's the only way to stop the monkey business. It's like corked bats. If you're not on it 100% of the time then only a rare cracked bat will give away the charade.

    They also cheat by creating illegal formation that are somehow legal when the Patriots do them.

    Consider your credibility on cheating on par with Belichick's.

    Brady had not even been contacted by the league as of yesterday.

    It's just cheating it's not that big a deal.
