I don't have a dog in the fight and didn't care at all who won, but New England is the dirtiest franchise in NFL history.

Good point. Maybe Pats aren't the dirtiest franchise just the franchise that is the worst at being dirty?BJC wrote:I hate the Pats.............btu I doubt Pete is an angel either

Not the only dirty team or even the dirtiest.......jus the least opaque about it

Every time the pats end up heading to a Superbowl there is always talk of them cheating to do it. Don't recall how long ago but there was talk they were using cameras on the opposing teams side line.ragtimejoe1 wrote:were a college team, they would receive the death penalty.

There is always something surrounding them sooner or later they will get busted problem is once the game is over nothing will change just some fine or draft pick penalties.

Take the Cheatriots out and put in the Colts!
Partially saying that because if the Colts were in the Super Bowl, I would actually feel like watching it. And partially because that's pretty damn dirty with deflating the balls.

Meh, don't really care about this story. If it was like 24-23 I could maybe see an argument, but losing by 38, this was a non-factor.

Definitely did not lead to a Cheatriots win, but still, cheating is cheating. It doesn't matter if it didn't impact the game that much, it is still cheating.
I hope they drop the hammer on them. Take away 2 years of 1st round picks; drop their salary cap by 5 mill/year for 5 years; suspend B. Belichick (sp?) for 1 year.

It impacted the outcome of the game no doubt about it, Game could have been the same or completely different. Momentum swings are big we have seen how big.ragtimejoe1 wrote:Definitely did not lead to a Cheatriots win, but still, cheating is cheating.

HC definitely needs to be suspended no way this way happening w/o him knowing. Draft picks & Cap fines isn't bad money fines would just be paid and ignored at least cap fines can't just be ignored.

While they likely would've beaten Colts anyway, what about the game vs Ravens? Was this the first time Patriots performed this particular little "trick," or have they done it all season long?

I would bet this is actually a fairly common occurrence in college and pro football, the Patriots just got caught. Here's an article from a few years ago when USC got caught doing the same thing...

I live within 40 miles of the century link stadium... I work nights, and have plenty of time to watch all the night stuff.
this is what I can gather, as a seahawks fan
I would be VERY surprised if the patriots were the ONLY team in the league to use bottom scale inflation footballs. especially during the cold months.
anyway...
doesn't matter....
this is what u, and I need to focus on...
the 11 of 12 deflated balls... that was first half.
second half... all balls were to regulation standards. patriots scored 28 points.
during the super bowl... the Chicago equipment manager will be in charge of this.
NOTHING is going to happen to disrupt the superbowl. judgement... if any, will happen during the offseason.
this subject is dead
