Mort: Patriots deflated 11 of 12 footballs

[Hack Wilson - real]

each team has their own 12 footballs to use


Colts caught on after intercepting Brady.  I remember being so happy he threw that INT without knowing how now Brady looks like a complete fraud for his reaction yesterday.


NFL needs to ban Belichunks from coaching the Superbowl

[Chamillitary Click]

Corporations run the country. Super Bowl Sunday is a huge day for them. No shot they touch the game. Pats will feel the wrath after the season.

I hope they ban Belichick next year. All next year. But they wouldn't touch the game, and I don't want them to touch the game. This is professional football, not college. If you lose, even if the other team cheats you have to deal with it, and you move on to the next game. The next game is the Super Bowl, and you let the two best teams go at it full strength. But next year, you almost have to ban Belichick the whole year.

I think Sean Payton is exactly the standard the NFL is going with. They'll throw the book at Belichick.

it's not like they NEEDED to cheat to win but the fact they did it so blatantly is horrible

Lets look at that for a second. The Colts said they knew to check about the balls because of the the two picks the Colts had on Brady in the week 8 game during the season. This means the Pats did it back then, and most likely they did it in between then and the AFC Title Game. I agree with Jaworski, who said the Pats didn't need to underinflate balls to beat the Colts, they could have beaten them with a frisbee.

But what about the Ravens. It wasn't a warm spring day against them in the Divisional Round. If those balls were underinflated by two pounds then that really could have helped Brady get a grip on a nice throw to Lafell, and it would have helped Edelman grip a ball thrown to Amendola.

In my opinion, it is like they NEEDED to cheat, just not against the Colts.

Judging by this, it could have been as far back as the almost perfect season!

Do they change the balls in the Super Bowl, because they've been to two Super Bowls since then and lost both. Or do the Giants just have NE's number? Anyways, DAMN! This might be as deep as deep can get.

all the balls in the superbowl are provided by the nfl.....maybe

I don't have a link, but the one that was interesting as well was the Patriots rainy weather passing compared to their dry weather passing. They actually do BETTER in the rain than in the dry weather. It was talked about a lot on Bay Area radio. But I don't have a link right now, and especially a link as detailed as the one on fumbles. One thing is for sure something is up.

Also, an interesting one. Kevin Faulk.

From 99-06, he had 23 fumbles. From 07-11 he had 2 fumbles, without a huge cut off on carries because he really never had a huge year of carries anywhere except 2003 with 4 fumbles and 2008 with 0 fumbles.
