BREAKING: Patriots Found Guilty For Deflating Balls

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

You're just spinning this story to protect your cheating coach and QB! Science and rules don't apply when the Patriots are involved! BeliCHEAT (get it?) should have accounted for the NFL not being able to understand basic physics! Every other coach does!

I like how those tweets from the B-list commentator who hosts NFL redzone are supposed to be some great rebuttal to Belichick's press conference when all they do is restate what he said.

When Belichick is actually caught doing something wrong (Spygate), he doesn't deny it or try damage control. He admitted to Spygate from day 1 and took the punishment to get the investigation over as quickly as possible. He'd be doing the same thing here if he actually did something against the rules.

but but but the media has been on the Patriots side this whole time!

and all week ESPN has been nailing the Patriots. Mark Brunell cried at Brady's "lack of integrity". Wilbon demanded they withdraw from the Super Bowl. Mortensen was the ing guy who started this whole storm. To say ESPN has been in the Pats corner means either (a) you're literally a mentally re ed human being, (b) you haven't actually watched ESPN at all this week, or (c) your Pats haterade level us so through the roof you can't comprehend basic English within a five minute window of hearing the words "Belichick" or "Patriots"

the irrational Patriots hatred couldn't be more obvious just from the thread le alone. Labeling the thread "Patriots Found Guilty for Deflating Footballs" when the NFL investigator has specifically said no conclusions have been drawn yet is a cut and dry example of how bat some people get at the mere mention of Brady or Belichick.

After making Brady squirm for 30 minutes, these y reporters thought they'd take a shot at King Belichick. He promptly shove his fist up their ass and made them say uncle. Loved his Spygate takedown too tbh

"A guy is giving signals in front of 80,000 people, OK?" Belichick said. "So we filmed them taking signals in front of 80,000 people like there were a lot of other teams doing at that time too. Forget about that. If we were wrong, we’ve been disciplined for that.

"Guy is in front of 80,000 people ... 80,000 people saw it, everybody on the sideline saw it, everybody sees our guys in front of 80,000 people. I mean, there he is. It was wrong, we were disciplined for it, that’s it. We never did it again. We’re never going to do it again. Anything else that’s close, we’re not going to do either."

Love that he made sure that all these ing coaches looking down on him from their high horses remember that he knows exactly what they were up to.

I think he wanted them to bring Spygate up and waste time asking questions about it which is why he lent them just enough rope to hang themselves with the subtle "We've always stayed within the rules as much as possible" trolling. It's pretty pathetic when the best they can do in terms of questions is, " bu bu but what about Spygate!"

From the moment the press conference started, you could tell BB was weaving his web. He was in control the entire time.

[pgardn]

It's not our job to find out how the balls became under inflated. The NFL brought it up, so they own it.

This is the basic summary and BB is correct. He realized the go ask Brady was a stupid comment.
Nothing has changed. The NFL slamming its own product without prompting is unique. I have yet to read anyone explain this.

"without prompting"

If by "The NFL slamming its own product without prompting" you mean "D'Qwell Jackson reporting an under-inflated football that the NFL is forced to investigate after more under-inflated footballs were discovered", then yes, the NFL is slamming itself without prompting.

How did DQwell find out?
Did he test them himself?

He intercepted a ball, handed it to the equipment manager who thought it felt under-inflated. It was then reported to the NFL.

Yes I know this.
So this explains nil.

How did the NFL learn 11 out of 12 footballs were under inflated?

It's protocol to further investigate once an under-inflated football is discovered. Are you really this dense?

[ploto]

Meanwhile, zero explanation for how the "atmospheric conditions" didn't have any affect at all on the Colts' footballs. Either that, or the Colts need to explain how they managed to get the laws of physics to not apply to them.

If the Pats like their balls at 12.5 but the Colts like them at 13.5, then the Colts could lose 1psi and still be within the range while the Pats fall out of the range for any loss. The rule book AFAIK only sets the range to start the game. All balls lose pressure during the game if the temperature drops and 5 300-lb guys land on top of the ball carrier.

This is what happens when you shoot quickly from the hip.
And really don't think things through.


So it's protocol. Go through WHO checked the balls, when, and the NFL deciding to release the information that the Pats WILL be investigated for under inflating the balls. Your own article puts doubt as to when the balls were tested. Surely a deflated football has been found before others tested and reports issued. So the NFL had to DECiDE this was important enough and knew the repercussions of saying the Patriots would be investigated. This before a SB... Totally whimsical stuff.

Do you have the slightest idea of what I am typing?

[ploto]

Not inflating the balls to a high enough PSI before they're given to the refs pregame isn't against the rules at all, at that point the refs can inflate/deflate the balls at their own discretion and it's on them to get the pressure right. It's not New England's responsibility to account for what effect their prepping/rubbing/whatever done before the balls are given to the refs pregame will have on the ball pressure, they're simply not allowed to alter the balls after that point.

Yes, Aaron Rodgers said this week that officials have deflated balls he prepped for games for being over 13.5.

I actually don't understand a large portion of your posts, largely due to your random usage of all caps and horrid grammar, but that's a different topic. I have no idea what the sentence, "Surely a deflated football has been found before others tested and reports issued" means, which is because it looks like something written by a 12 year old mongoloid.

The NFL released information after the story was leaked by that Kravitz guy and had already gone viral. The NFL's decision to announce they'd be investigating the Patriots was a reactionary measure to all of the public outrage. Pretending the NFL decided on its own to blow this out of proportion and that it already wasn't a big story before the NFL commented is revisionist history. It'd be the equivalent of saying the NFL decided on its own to investigate Ray Rice for domestic violence.

Oh.

So the NFL decided the public hates the Patriots so much that they determined the Pats must be investigated?

You have got to be ting me.

Surely a deflated football has been found before, other footballs tested, and reports issued.

Sorry for the shorthand Mrs. Crutchfield, I am not on a keyboard, takes me forever to type. iPads also auto correct in crazy manners on occasion, please don't ding my grade Ms.

... one of the greatest comedy films of all time tbh

It's amazing how Belichick went from being completely ignorant on Thursday to being a wannabe science expert on Saturday. Meanwhile, zero explanation for how the "atmospheric conditions" didn't have any affect at all on the Colts' footballs. Either that, or the Colts need to explain how they managed to get the laws of physics to not apply to them.

He's talking out of his ass.

Didn't see it, but in this case, it sounds like that phrase actually applies.

that doesn't work since the balls were at least 2 psi out of the range.

[ploto]

Not confirmed that 11 balls were at 10.5.

[monosylab1k]

NFL never said that. That was an anonymous source to Mortensen. The NFL hasn't said how underinflated the balls were.
