With all the threads started on this one topic, I'm surprised it hasn't gotten the Tebow treatment yet.
We have idiot troll Jet fans on this site, you know dam well we'd have idiot trolls on other sites. Just the way it works. I tend to be a wait and see kind of guy but I made my mind up on this as soon as I saw Brunell and Bettis talking about it. There is no way on God's green earth that Brady didn't know there was an issue with the ball. He has been playing the position at some level for the last 25 -30 years there is no way he didn't know. I played DB and kick returner in HS and even I would know a ball that has been deflated because like most I always liked the low inflated ball because I have little hands and it was always easier to hold them.
It's not an issue of whether it was approved; after it is checked and approved if the ball is then found to be less than that weighed PSI than that is on the team who takes possession of the ball afterwards. The effects of temperature on PSI isn't a brand new scientific discovery that this situated lead to, it is known scientific fact. If the pats chose to take the risk that the ball would deflate below league limits they are responsible when the balls are weighed a second time and they are below the limits. The league simply weighs the balls, they don't control how the teams want to act to ensure they remain within the limits if weighed a second time.
The qualification is very important because blanket cheating implies that the SB's aren't legitimate. This had no effect on the SB's and there is no proof that they were doing this during the SB runs.
I said that before because I honestly hadn't seen what the guy had posted and was asking for a source so I could see it.
Qualifications matter only to jerkoff Pat fans. In the eyes of the rest of the country you cheated. Your SBs are not legitimate. Perception is reality in the court of public opinion. Deflate Gate only fortifies it. Deal with it. _
That actually isn't true. These are the rules: http://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/image/rulebook/pdfs/5_Rule2_The_Ball.pdf Please show where it says that the team must keep the balls at a certain level.
In public opinion, you are right. But if you are presented with the facts and decide to ignore them, that's on you. Ignorance is bliss.
Right. But there'd still be two or three Jets wannabee's going over to the Pats Board thumping their chest...talkin' bullshit. Just like here.
So you actually saw what was on the videos? Please enlighten us because they were burned before I could see what was on them.
The facts are the Patriots cheated. Full stop. That they've shown a pattern of cheating only fortifies the perception. Go stick you head in molasses. The country knows your SBs are all illegit. _
Good non-answer. You have no idea what we're on those videos. Because they were destroyed for no reason. Other than to protect the Pats. _
