Some people have been suggesting the following:

$1 million fine
Super Bowl ban
Losing multiple 1st round picks
BB + TB suspension

Seriously...I think everyone has lost their %$^#ing minds

Adults were proposing this. Actual adults.

Then again, people never cease to disappoint.
 
Florio just said on NBCSN that he's heard from a source that only one of the 11 was 2 psi under and the others were closer to one. Further, it was the football the Colts intercepted that was down 2 Psi. If that proves to be true the Pats explanation becomes much more plausible and the investigation should be extended to 1) Find out who leaked the other info that could have sabotaged the Pats SB and; 2) whether the Colts could have doctored the other ball to pin it on the Pats.

Only one of the 12 New England Patriots footballs used in the team's AFC Championship game win against the Indianapolis Colts was under-inflated by a full two pounds, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. "Several" other balls were found to be roughly one pound under-inflated, and "several more" were either right at, or barely beneath, the correct inflation mark.

Oh yeah. Brady threw for 328 yards and 4TDs with balls he'd never previously fondled (C'mon. Had to be done that way!!).

Why is there no attention paid to this "breaking story?"

(Edit: To be posted in the other 83 Threads...)

Because it was a non story to begin with that was only talked about because the media needs something to talk about heading into the Super Bowl. You can only break down a single matchup so many times in 2 full weeks off.
 
Boomer had an interesting thought monday. Said Brady embarrassed Harbaugh by suggesting he learn the rulebook about the formation he complained about. Tipped off his old defensive coordinator Pagano about the PSI thing to embarrass Brady and Bill B.
 
So only one ball was significantly deflated? Wanna bet that that was the ball that the Colts had in their possession?

My, my how the story has changed.

NLOI Day and these are the top threads?

The boneyard...gotta love it. Or not...

In a perfect world, maybe.

But it's really not practical.

What is practical - Brady and Belichick get an unpaid vacation for a long stretch next season.

It's not believable that those two were not intimately involved - hit 'em where it hurts.

Intimately involved? Hit 'em where it hurts? You must mean a kick to the soft balls. A monetary fine of a portion of a season means nothing to either of these gentlemen at this point. And Kraft has enough in his sack to cover it for them.
 
Anybody hear anything about deflategate?
 
Reading this for the first time and yes I'm a NE fan but those first few pages are bat s☆☆t crazy. Patriot haters with an agenda and man I would hate you on my jury. Guilty as charged screw the trial well where are you now with new facts shedding a totally new light. So sorry pat haters you lose again.

Don't forget the double reverse and the play fake. Those rely on deception too. Harbaugh wants to know who the ball carrier will be so he can tackle him before he scores.

Today's NFL, where if you lose, whine and get the rules changed.

The irony of this is that, now, no team can use these formations against the Patriots.

More Irony. Your first sentence is the first brick in the road to deflate-gaa....uh (I'm not saying it)

Brady and Manning lobbied to have control over game balls.

It's also why defensive pass interference is called downfield, no matter who initiates incidental contact (Colts - 2004), which is dovetails nicely into a huge part of the Colts' strategy with Andrew Luck's being to throw at least 3 bombs a quarter.

I don't like Belichick. That said, the guys is an egoistical genius who likely know the NFA rulebook better than anyone else on the planet. This will not stop him. He'll find another loophole to gain a different edge.
 
That USA Today writer was a bit premature back on 1/21/15. Calls for banning, fines, and suspensions are irresponsible before the investigation is complete.

He's a typical media hack just trying to get his name mentioned somewhere.

Not true. That was Olympic Strongman Ken Patera's motto. Why don't you get some facts and get back to us.

Wrong wrong wrong. That was Patera's manager, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan's motto. Get YOUR facts right.

I actually viewed Patera saying it first hand.. I didn't have rely on attribution. When have you been right about anything?

Edsall. Pasqualoni. Jury is still out on Diaco but I think I'm ahead of the curve.
 
Wells Report is out.

They say they have no proof of anything, but Wells blamed it on Brady. Said its probable he knew.

They also said Physics didn't cause it because Physics took a day off.

Bob Kraft responded that the Wells report is crap and that there were 4 Colts balls that were underinflated as well.
