I have to think that's full of snark... what gets me is I assumed the league had control of the balls and things like that. If it was that big of a deal then wouldn't deal with it themselves.

Things not worth getting worked up over...

OK, I am seeing how this works out. Ball deflated explains why other team specialist can't field the punt and doinks off his helmet to Pats defender. Pats D recovers because it was an easy ball to reclaim given it is deflated. Also, Pats deflated it to a point where their full back and offensive tackle can catch it for tds, yet their receivers(and Colts receivers) can't. And it must have made it very easy for Blount to hold on to that football. And Pats DB can pick of Luck... not without good deflation. I mean, how else could we explain the Colts defender intercepting Brady?

It is either all that, OR....

The Pats had a game plan where they were going to take away the tendencies of the other team and then rely on a battle in the trenches. Rely on OL and fullback to road grade, and rely on DL and LB to get a lead against the other team's substandard run game.

Not sure I know which one of those happened. :D
 
Re: The 2013 New England Patriots

god how stupid can you fukcing people be.

each team has their own balls. the GLA balls (which were alleged to be not inflated to league specs) were never used by luck.

all balls are supposed to be between 12.5 - 13.5 psi.
all balls are also prepped to each individual qb's preference every friday. some like big laces, some like them rubbed down to the leather. it is all personal choice on how each qb likes to throw their balls.

how nobody (jon, this means you) is going to telll mookie that the smart GLA - WHO NOW DOES MIND EXERCISES FOR CRYIN OUT LOUD - has no idea how heavy his balls are and doesn't have a preference on laces, leather rub, etc. he knows. each of those balls are treated to be exactly the same when they go into the bag.

now, does GLA push it and like a really soft ball? maybe he figures 12.3 is close enough and he has his guys set them there. maybe with the rain forecasted for last saturday he made them softer. again - those balls are set to the exact specs that GLA wants.

if someone asked him, "what psi do you set for your balls each week?" he'd know. he might not tell you, but this brain exercising qb knows.

now...... with the rep the patsies have would anyone doubt that they push the rules (misinterpret? :D). nope.

....... does GLA need to 'deflate' the balls for him to be able to beat the colts? hell no!!
but that's how he wants his balls. so that's how they are.
the RNC didn't need to break into watergate to beat the dems in '72 --- but they did it too.

just goes to the organizational arrogance and disregard for the rules. The Patriot Way..... if you ain't cheatin', you ain't trying ;)

This is all well and good but doesn't the NFL check the 12 balls and keep them under lock and key after they get them on friday?
 
Re: The 2013 New England Patriots

Even I think this is a pretty weak "controversy." It's only the Pats' previous violations that are making this a big deal, IMO.

somebody was saying that this is something that happens on a semi-regular basis in the NFL... so I'm sure the wet noodle whipping will be harsh.
 
Anyone shocked that Indy reported to nfl that the ball they intercepted was light in air pressure.that will teach Tom to throw an int.

Mookie isn't

GLA wears gloves and has known issues gripping the ball.
Of course he cheats to get a better handle on the ball ;)
 
Re: The 2013 New England Patriots

GLA should have stayed with Jennifer garner. She's hot

Hell, shouldn't have dumped Tara Reid :)
 
Re: The 2013 New England Patriots

Pats are toast. unreal. Another rumor is Indy complained about inflation after regular season game so they knew before game started.
