Deflate Gate

[Hillbilly77]

What does integrity mean?

Hey, stop thread drifting!

Pete Rose isn't the one on trial here. He already took his lumps.

Listen Hillbilly77, I am very upset with you at this moment, once again you have hurt my feelings here at the forum.

Both teams played with the same balls on the same field in the same weather. The controversy is sour grapes by sore losers fanned by a media that has long favored hyperbole over substance.

Um..... Apparently it actually started because a Colts player wanted a souvenir ball after he intercepted a pass.
Colts LB D'Qwell Jackson basically started Deflategate on accident - CBSSports.com

The balls were either under-inflated or (more likely) deflated.
Somebody in or close to the Patriots club broke the rules.
That's just (the apparent) facts.

Actually no one broke any rules.

Please produce your facts in this trial, the jury has not returned a verdict yet. Got that?

Edited.

Besides, the footballs not being aired to specification is a fact.

Now the remaining questions are "Who?" and "When?"

Ouch.

Here I thought we were just having some friendly and good natured ribbing, then you come out with the low-blow.

Bill don't wanna talk about it no more. Regadless of what they find, the NFL won't do anything.

It would be funny if a special Lombardi trophy was made up for the Pats if they win......with a flat ball.......

They won't have to worry about that though!

GO HAWKS!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy yourself, you don't have any horse shoes left, used them all in the Green Bay game.

Yup.....and they were all inflated to 13 pounds....

I had no opinion on this until I heard Tom Brady's reply to the question: "Are you a cheater?"

Now, that's a very direct question which calls for a yes-or-no answer. But instead of saying "No.", Mr. Brady replied "I don't think so.", which means he thinks the question is a matter of opinion. Not a good answer, and definitely NOT what he would have said if he was innocent.

Here's another thought: This man throws footballs for a living, and has done so for many years. I cannot buy the idea that he doesn't know what a properly-inflated football feels like, versus an under-inflated one.

I think he knew darned right well what the pressure in those footballs was...

Boy did we fool those Ravens with that pass from Julian Edelman to Daddy Amendola, now that was truthfully deflating a whole team.

Good Night All

Actually--it was the other team. They did it. They thought it would win for them. It is their fault.

Will Rogers never met Bill Belicheat...obviously.

Be safe.

If you actually read the rule it states:

" The Referee shall be the sole judge as to whether all balls offered for play comply with these specifications. A pump is to be furnished by the home club, and the balls shall remain under the supervision of the Referee until they are delivered to the ball attendant just prior to the start of the game."

So they presented the balls for inspection, which everyone agrees they did.
And the balls were accepted by the referee, which everyone agrees they were.
Therefore, the balls were legal for play as approved by the sole judge of compliance in full accordance with the rules.

Some of this is REALLY funny- How about it was just the weather?? My truck needs some air when it gets cold enough and she lives in the garage-- just saying.
