NFL investigating Patriots' footballs

[Mitchrapp]

I'm sure he's thinking of alot more during an afc champ game than "gee this ball feels % 10 less than it did anhour ago." That just further insinuates imo how much this doesnt matter. There were ppl this week that could tell a difference in 10% (brunell and bettis) and there were ppl that couldn't (joe theissman). Refs checked the ball prior to the game and they were approved....unless someone can show a video of a ball boy taking air out after that.....then none of the rest of this ridiculousness matters.

If it doesn't matter than why do it? Why did they deflate them? You might ask or say "but they didn't Mitch." In which I would reply why did ones team deflate while the other didn't? Do you have a plausible answer to that?

Ofcourse someone did it. My plausible answer is still who cares.

The question is when....the refs checked the balls right before the game. They either didnt do a very good job of checking them or someone let the air out of 11 balls in a matter of minutes on the sidelines without being seen.

...and still no one should care.

according to what I read they check the balls about 90 minutes before the game.

No one is saying it effected the game and we're all getting sick of it. But if they cheated something should happen..why should they get away with it? :tup:

And honestly I would get a kick out of it if they lost draft picks.

Apparently they have tape of an attendant taking the balls from the secured location to another before the game. No doubt the organization will blame him..

Cause we all know how it crippled them last time.

lol..In other news, Bill Belichick let the NFL know what he thinks of any punishment short of "The Sean Payton treatment".

The NFL said the investigation may take 4-6 weeks???

WTF?

I'd have more respect if they just came out and said "We're going to wait until after the Super Bowl, because there is no way in hell we're going to suspend Tom fuckin Brady before the game".

It's all over the news and sports here since it happened.
Even the weatherman on one Boston channel said that with physics it would have had to have been 15 degrees below zero for the football to have dropped to the low psi levels the footballs were.

Most of the people I've spoken to about it are in denial, of course. It wasn't any person affiliated with the patriots.

Once again, I will probably be the only person in Massholechusetts rooting for the Seahawks.

Elrod, sorry....I meant to post to this, geez....10/11 days ago, got sidetracked elsewhere and forgot until I posted something similar on a Tigers' Baseball blog and remembered your post a few minutes ago.
Most everyone here that knows me in know my teams, and they do laugh at my 'digs' to every boston teams except the Celtics.

My latest jab at patriots' fans is one from the old wrestler and ex-governor? of Minnesota Jesse the Body Ventura who would say;
"Win if you can, lose if you must, but always Cheat!"

Insane graph I found on a different forum. Since 2010, the Pats fumble once every 187 offensive plays, the average is once every 90 or so plays. The graph shows all teams.
