Hate to comment on air pressure again, but: Balls reportedly 1 PSI under, not 2 PSI as initially reported by ESPN. ESPN was also first to report that this all started with Jackson being able to tell the ball was deflated, and Jackson came out and said that what ESPN reported was a lie.

Seattle arrived in Phoenix yesterday. New England should be touching down in an hour or two. Just gotta make it through New England's pressers tonight and the entire media tomorrow, and then finally the whole talk about air pressure should die down and the game itself will be the focal point of talk.

gmen81, we never ended up discussing our bet.

How about we lay our 1st round picks on the line? I don't think the ESPN system will let 1 team draft twice in the same around but we can do this:

Say Seattle wins and you get my 1st round pick, you tell me who you want with my pick, I'll pick him, and then after the draft I'll trade you that player for your last round pick or some other crappy player. And reverse roles if NE wins.

Fair?

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who will face the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl, said on Monday his feelings have been hurt during the NFL’s investigation into his team’s use of deflated balls.

His feelings?

Why in the hell would he come out and say that?

I think the draft pick trading is something I can add later on. I'm going to need to at some point anyways.

As far as the bet goes are you ok with it? You have the 3rd overall pick and I have the 9th overall pick, so when Seahawks win I'm getting the better of the deal.

Didn't know we were 6 picks apart. Hmmm. How about you throw in your 3rd round pick to even it out.

It was the Colts who reported the balls to the officials and the league during the game. Each team uses their own balls on offence.

Yes - but maybe it wasn't the "Colts" that reported it that did it - maybe someone on their staff did it to try and give their team an advantage.

Whomever did it (if it wasn't natural) should be fired, as the Pats scored more points in the second half with the correctly inflated footballs.

Miko Grimes @iHeartMiko · 2h 2 hours ago

Miko Grimes @iHeartMiko · 2h 2 hours ago

Miko Grimes @iHeartMiko · 2h 2 hours ago

Do u know how difficult it is to line up the best athletes in the world twice a week for a head on collision? Once a week isnt enough? @nfl

Miko Grimes @iHeartMiko · 2h 2 hours ago

They'll get fined. It's all it's really worth. Taking anything higher than a 3rd or 4th round pick, with said fine, will be too harsh. In my opinion, Brady knew the whole time, but I feel bad for Belichick because I don't think he had any idea. That's a QB/equipment personnel thing. A handful of QB's have come out and said that they try and sometimes do get illegal balls past the refs. It's gamesmanship that's only cheating if you get caught. Unfortunately for the Pats, they got caught.

When I was in my competitive years many moons ago, I would have tried any and every trick in the book to win a hockey or a football game.

Anything short of the commissioner invoking the worst penalty under "Rule 17", it's worth taking the chance in order to get to the Super Bowl.

If they were under inflated when the refs got them, and the refs did nothing (aka didn’t inflate them to the minimum), then that’s in no way New England’s fault. That would be 100% on the refs.

Lol, Robert Kraft just put his balls on the table. Never seen him this mad at anything. Basically demanded the NFL apologize to the entire Pats organization if there is no definitive evidence that indicates the Pats tampered with the footballs, and specifically coach Belichick and Brady.

Goodell is done :lol:
