Oh so you're just getting hung up on some stupid semantics

"We tested out the whole #deflategate here at @triconsportsinc we used a Nike football and blew it up to 11psi (not NFL specs) placed the football outside at 4pm, at 5:45 we checked the PSI...take a look for yourself! #GoPats #Patriots" Trion Sports from Facebook.

11 PSI to 9.6 PSI in an hour and 45 minutes.

Ravens released Terrence Cody amid allegations of animal cruelty committed.

Was set to be a free agent this season regardless of the charges or not since the Ravens have enough depth at his spot.

Math is hard and all, but the legal range has a 1 PSI difference. 12.5 to 13.5 Pats balls were found to be around 2 PSI short. Colts balls were found to all be within the legal limits (they did not announce the measured PSI of the Colts balls yet that I've seen. Only that they were legal.)

So even if the Colts filled their balls to the max limit, which we don't know of yet, and the Pats were to fill theirs to the lowest legal limit, which seems to be the indication according to Brady's clarification of his 2011 interview about him liking deflated balls (he clarified by saying he likes balls to be 12.5 PSI), where does the 1 PSI discrepancy come into play? (A note.. if they were filled higher than 12.5, then this would mean there was more than 2 PSI -lost- through this whole process, creating an even bigger discrepancy)

Colts balls would have been just as affected by the weather and being used. Yet theirs, when measured, couldn't have been less than 12.5, as they were all found to be legal. Meaning at most, they had a 1 PSI drop in pressure.

The Patriot balls on the other hand, have repeatedly been said to have been approximately 2 PSI short, indicating a much higher loss in the same conditions.

Now, consider that we don't know what the Colts balls measured at... what if they weren't even filled to the max pressure at first? What if they were in the middle, or even at the lower end of the spectrum? This would mean they lost even less air than is being assumed.

So how do they account for the discrepancy?

I still think someone on or involved with the Patriots, tried to cheat, but I'll be honest..For some reason I believed Belichek today.

Im joking. I don't believe him at all. I love him talking about how he's handled a lot of balls. Lol

Some ballboy is getting promoted to assistant head coach for the Pats next year for sure.

" I've felt the texture of the balls!"

From the perspective of a Seahawks fan, how great would it be for Russell Wilson's legacy if he ended up beating Peyton Manning and Tom Brady in back-to-back Super Bowl's.

Two living legends passing the torch to a legend in the making.

I agree. Even as a Patriots fan that would be a great moment for Russel Wilson. He's not the greatest QB but he has a great team and he never loses the game for his team. Great clock management and great at the two-minute drill when the game is on the line.

If he throws 4 picks against New England, he'll get what Peyton got last year.

Blaming the weather is laughable since all 12 of the Colts balls were "legal" throughout the game

Still funny to hear these guys talking about rubbing balls. I would have cracked up during an interview already, probably.

Was really hoping for Luck to go through Manning, Brady, and Rodgers (AND ANDY MOTHERFUCKING DALTON) this post season. Would have been amazing.

How would everyone feel if the Patriots (I know they won't be) pulled from the SuperBowl and the Colts were put in their place for cheating?

I like that the Patriots investigated themselves and found no wrong doing.

Its all good! NOTHING TO SEE HERE!

There's an article on the Boston globe basically blaming all the deflategate crap on John Harbaugh for ratting them out to the Colts and Chuck Pagano who is still close with a lot of people in the Ravens organization. Of course they mentioned Ray Rice to for good measure.

Quote:

In the public sphere, the Patriots have been the only team involved in the Deflategate controversy that tarnished their bye week as they prepare to face the Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX. The Colts were an ancillary participant.

But inside the walls of Gillette Stadium and across the league, Harbaugh is viewed as the one responsible for starting this whole mess — casting a dark cloud above the league’s signature event, staining the reputations of Belichick and Tom Brady, and blowing the lid off another of the league’s dirty secrets about football doctoring.

It’s Harbaugh who supposedly concocted this scheme with good buddy Chuck Pagano, the Colts’ coach who was one of Harbaugh’s top defensive lieutenants for four years in Baltimore, after the Patriots pulled some trickery on the Ravens in the playoffs two weeks ago. Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer reported as much last week, and while there’s no concrete proof of this yet, that’s what the Patriots and many others across the league believe. Glazer also reported that the Ravens suspected something wrong with their kicking balls, although those stay in the officials’ possession from Saturday until literally right at kickoff.

This little tit-for-tat between the Ravens and Patriots escalated quickly. It began with Harbaugh accusing the Patriots of “deception” with their eligible-ineligible tactics in New England’s dramatic 35-31 comeback win in the divisional round Jan. 10.

A few feet down the hall at Gillette Stadium, Brady shot right back.

“Maybe those guys got to study the rule book and figure it out?” Brady said. “We obviously knew what we were doing.”

Harbaugh, supposedly, got his revenge a week later with his buddy Pagano. “Oh, so you want to talk about the rule book? Let’s check those footballs.”

You can imagine the Patriots’ reaction — let’s just say it was a word that starts with the letter “P” and rhymes with “missed.” Never mind that the Patriots may have been deliberately skirting the rules (although the NFL has not determined anything at this point). In NFL circles, ratting out the Patriots was the far bigger crime.

And Harbaugh, whose team hasn’t exactly been a beacon of morality and truth since Ray Rice punched his fiancé in February, has the gall to act smugly about the Patriots?

Is the author a Pats fan? Of course Harbaugh should act "smugly" , that's his enemy.

so Harbaugh is a snitch?

Is there any reason whatsoever for me to actually give one flying fuck about the Pro Bowl tonight?

Welp, Josh Gordon's career is effectively over.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Browns WR Josh Gordon flunked another drug test and now will be subject to a one-year banishment, per league sources.

Says on NFL.com right now that he failed a test for alcohol.

What?

Part of his DUI treatment plan was that he was explicitly banned from using alcohol.

:rofl: Gordon is a moron.

Like seriously, just stay away the shit for 2 years and you will have enough money for the rest of your life. Do the stupid shit after you get a good amount of bankroll.

lol so I guess the Pro Bowl was in fact tonight.

Stafford gets MVP honours in the game, further showing that he is an elite QB when there are no stakes.

Love Stafford but goddamn. All the shit people pile on Romo for, Stafford is 10x for unfortunately

Saw the last drive of the game which means I got to see Andy Dalton check down to his running back and then miss his receiver by 5 yards on 4th down.

Classic Andy!

You were right. The better coaches DID win

How will the 12th man work if the Seahawks can't operate the building to pump in crowd noise ala Goldberg?

12th Man < #12.

I think you're using the wrong team to make that joke with (Colts)

Well there was that time the Seahawks won the superbowl

Even when it comes to the pro bowl, Droford doesn't disappoint.
