All the Pats fans are cute. Saying no evidence no evidence. Is the 11/12 balls not enough evidence lol? Only the Pats fans would say shucks 11/12 balls were deflated it wasn't us . Once a cheater always a cheater

Again that's irrelevant and an ancillary detail.

Brady: "after I pick the balls for the game...at that point I don't want anyone putting air into them"

There you go. Word for word.


Since Brady said "those balls were perfect" and we now know that those balls were illegal, didn't Brady just admit that he thinks illegal balls are perfect? And that he's been picking illegal balls for hundreds of games (assuming of course that his picking ability hasn't deviated from choosing the same "perfect" ball)

Feel like I'm watching a Seinfeld episode & any minute we're going to find out George Constanza is in charge of inflating Brady's game balls

lol

Well, Brady and Belichick both say they weren't involved. That settles it. I'm sure if they were responsible they would have been honest and admitted it. Must have been some weird coincidence 11 of 12 footballs were badly under-inflated.

Some renegade equipment manager acting on his own will take the fall soon.

I think at AH next trial he may shed some light

Please... You have to have intelligence to insult another's intelligence...

And I guess you condone cheating. After all, it's the Patriot way!

That means nothing since they were approved by the refs

If you're right then there wouldn't be an investigation, press conferences, or this story being the #1 headline in the country right now (above ISIS ).

Troops was filmed on location with the men of the Imperial Forces. All suspects are guilty. Period. Otherwise, they wouldn't be suspects, would they?

They were "suspects" before the balls were tested

Oh and let's not forget that these are repeat offenders

Ur saying he admitted blame when he did just the opposite

He said his involvement ends when he chooses the balls

The same balls that then go to the refs for approval

His isis comment sounded like a move to try deflect attention to something more important or put things in perspective

Whole thing sounded like he was coached by bill or pr guys on what to say

[Navster]

Wow so Brady referenced this to ISIS, what a dumbass, not a topic anyone should be joking about

[Hatter]

If you inflate the balls to the minimum with warm air and then play at a cold stadium, you would be looking at losing a few PSI in each ball.

Remember the colts balls were not inspected,

It's being reported all over that the Colts balls were in fact tested, and 12/12 met the required standard.

I don't know what your source is that they weren't tested.
