    This entire thing is ridiculous. The rain affects the balls in terms of weight and velocity way more than air pressure. Air pressure affects speed in a football thrown measured in 1000's of a second of difference. It would be slower with a lighter ball. The rain and resulted added weight affect the ball significantly...I heard having the balls underinflated by 2 pounds is equivalent to the weight of a dollar bill.

    Grip maybe. Confused as to how cheating is celebrated in baseball but this transgression is reason for almost a Congressional hearing? Bizarre

          You're out of your mind...

          A year or two ago, someone made a comment that Gronk spikes the ball so hard "he deflates it!" To which Brady replied "Good! I like deflated balls!"

          Indy would never have won deflated balls or not, but don't pretend everything is just ducky or that it doesn't make a lot of difference in handling the ball in cold temps!

            OK, I know some football fans like to go overboard with buying team related merchandise, but who the fuck thinks of this shit???







            I'm a Seahawks fan as much as anybody, but I really don't need to burn prayer candles in their images

                Did anybody ever buy the Bills after the old man died? I'm assuming it wasn't Bon Jovi, because he would have had to give Sambora half the team in the divorce.

                  I think the real issue is why a grown man would wear a cotton hoodie on the sidelines, particularly in a torrential downpour? I believe there are secrets lying within the cotton fibres in Belichek's infamous hoodies. What s in the hood? We may never know but we can be rest assured its providing the Pats with some kind of unfair advantage. Let the congressional hearings commence!!

                    Here's the real Bill Nye: https://sports.vice.com/article/bill...e=vicesportsfb

                    And if "Hoodie" had nothing to hide, why the 3 press conferences telling us how much he didn't do anything wrong. They deflated the balls, and their assholes. End of story. What should be done about it? I dunno. New England was winning that game no matter what and the balls weren't really a factor. But then, why do they have to be such assholes and not play by the rules?

                        Maybe the Cheatriots will play this song as they come running out of the tunnel (presuming they aren't banned from the Super Bowl)....

                          Zero chance they are banned from the Super Bowl. Among other reasons, considering they couldn’t manage to interview Tom Brady in the week after the AFC Championship, it seems clear that the NFL’s investigation isn't exactly proceeding at breakneck speed.

                          Here's my prediction. The NFL will desperately hope the story goes away, but it won’t. No decision will come from the NFL before the Super Bowl. The announcers will mention it during the broadcast as a story, but won’t say anything particularly damning of either the NFL or the Patriots.

                          In the offseason, the Patriots will get some sort of sanction, probably a fine and a loss of draft picks. Nothing will be done to Belichick or Brady, because nothing will be “proved.” Behind the scenes and essentially unnoticed, a ball boy and maybe some other low-level employees will suddenly become much richer.

                            I just hope it means the League takes things like flat balls and corrupt referrees seriously next week. In my opinion, Brady shouldn't be there, but I'll settle for him being as humiliated as Peyton Manning was last year.

                                It's OverPayton Manning, you fucking pussy.

                                You have some (non-)balls in saying that seeing your QB is who again?
