both teams using the same ball

you're a student. if you cheat on a test and get a D, would you still be subject to discipline for cheating? even though the cheating didn't help your grade?

[Clipper Nation]

on a serious note, this just paves the way for the patriots to expose the buthurt after they beat the hawks. National spotlight and all, completely fixated on them watching every little move...proving that they are just superior.

Last time you got caught cheating, Tyree happened.

Clearly Beast Mode is about to have a legendary Super Bowl play to cement another Patriots choke

I'm not allowed to hip check someone to send a message either...football is a different game. That being said, as mono stated...the facts aren't completely out there and we can't jump to conclusions. Gonna wait a bit to comment. It does seem that AR admitting to over-inflating balls doesn't generate the same amount of hate as the patriots ....I wonder if we'll get some investigations on him.

Rodgers isn't a repeat offender... Belichick is. Keep desperately clinging to that one off-hand remark by Rodgers, though.

you are missing the point. breaking rules is breaking rules, regardless of the outcome. sometimes there are penalties called in football even though they had no effect on the play

Every team cheats in every game.

Have to wait for the full story to come out, the balls were deflated, doesn't mean the patriots were the ones responsible.

I agree that this did NOT cost the Colts the game. But this is the 2nd ing time the Cheatriots got caught with shady . I think they're the best team from the past 15 years but obviously LT was right, their motto is if you aint cheating, you aint trying. This needs to be HEAVILY punished.

If this was any other team, Patriots fans would be screaming bloody murder

We're not stupid. I'm sure Kraft's butt-buddy will throw the refs under the bus and put all the blame on them, but we all know who was really responsible.

please, you know its the truth. This has potential to be the end of the Pats

[spurraider21]

What's a penalty?

You're talking out of your ass.

So how many yards will the penalty be if they are found to have intentionally deflated their footballs?

Will it at least be an automatic first down?

[Chris]

Patriots should be disqualified from the tournament and Seahawks win by forfeit. Multiple draft picks and heavy fine should be added on as well, not be the primary punishment. Of course this won't happen, since Katy Perry has to shake her ass for Pepsi. NFL has become a complete joke. What a piece of this Belichick guy turned out to be though, wow!

Can they ever win without speculation??

but, tbh, after every single down the refs get the football to mark!

You tell me

I remember Pats fans coming up with all sorts of conspiracy theories regarding Polian's presence on the compe ion committee when Fivehead beat them in 2006. Meanwhile, when the Patriots get caught blatantly cheating twice, anyone who points this out is told that they're "talking out of their ass," "hating," or "making excuses."

Don't be purposely obtuse.

pounds per square inch (psi) is a unit of pressure not weight (lbs). Pretty disingenuous to report it as pounds since the average person will probably think of lbs and assume it was a bigger advantage than what it really was. If it had actually been two lbs of weight pretty sure the football would've looked noticeably deflated.

2 psi really isn't much and pressure is dependent on temperature, so depending on the weather (didn't watch the game) that could be a reason for a drop in pressure.
