The NFL is going to check the Pat’s balls, to see if they deflated them[:0]
They should be checking the Colts balls! You can bet they’re deflated:smiley: This is great! What is the world coming to when the winning team has their balls confiscated? What if it was a womens Soft Ball team? What would they want from them 
A deflated ball doesn’t cause you to get beat by 38. They could have been playing with nerf balls and would have still lost.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.

As they said on the radio: Patriots could have been playing with an anvil and they still would have won.
Each team has a set of 12 balls they use for the game and the game balls are checked 2 hours before the game starts… Sucks that Pats won though, hoping Seattle can pull it out again
How can you pull for Seattle? Pete Carroll is a peace of S*#%. All was good for him at USC with Reggie Bush until the NCAA started their investigation into him. Then he jumped ship to the NFL and left USC to sink to the bottom w/o a caption of the ship.
A wise man once said “Do as I say not as I do” Good advice when I tell you that.
As a Colts fan, I would have to say the colts should check their own balls. They got reamed.
But that doesn’t change the fact that the Pats, assuming it’s true, cheated. Obviously it must be proven. And if it is, they deserve to be punished for being stupid enough to cheat when they clearly didn’t need to. They were the better team here.
Moral of the story, if you plan to cheat, don’t throw an interception.

If it is proven, which I believe it wont happen Belacheat needs a 1 year suspension just like Sean Payton got.

What I don’t understand is when are the bad balls put into play! When a team has possession of the ball, do they only play with the team ball that they brought to the game? Do they have passing balls VS kicking balls? When is the switch being made. The ball is already on the field when the Offense takes to the field on a turn over! If this is the case, both teams are using the same ball, so it’s a fair game!
Each team brings a set of 12 balls.
Qb’s Will scuff them for better grip. Each quarterback has their own methods.
I remember an article a few years back where Peyton Manning and Tom Brady would talk to each other about how they scuff them for different weather situations.
I’m shocked how many have brought up Sean Payton’s suspension and compared it to this.

Each team has to furnish 12 play balls. Official Wilsons with comis’s seal. They only play with their 12. Each team’s balls kept separate. Ball handlers keep them dry and rotate them in and out. Officials take possession before the game and at half time and inspect. They do this in NFL and college. Kick balls are separate and not a big of deal though they are checked. They don’t want kick balls used in game as they are scuffed up more from kicks. The interception Colts got was handed to Colt ball handler who was the one who called foul. He noticed it. Officials found them low at half and corrected. Brady then threw and completed more passes and TD’s in 2nd half than the first. Go figure!! Not a game changer but still shady.

At work today, I made an “inflated balls” comment to a fellow co-worker…
He said…
“That is all a bunch of BS…”
And then he said…
“Take your ass whoopin’ like a man!”
I laughed a huge belly laugh, and thanked him for his analysis…
Classic…
As a Fins fan I just hope Seattle can pull it off again
The plot thickens. Heard on ESNP sports while at the gym that there was a second bag of 12 balls??? The whole bag had been swapped out. All 12 were then replaced after officials did the check at halftime and busted them. There were 3 ball handlers for Pats. Things are strongly pointing to them alone. Also questions were they alone in the act??

If they cheated they should be disqualified from the Super Bowl…
Say what you want,but cheating is cheating.
Yeah right! BREAKING NEWS The NFL announced today the Super Bowl is cancelled! All interested parties and those that stand to lose money at this event are encouraged to file legal action against those found guilty in this cheating scandal.
Bet if this were a fishing tournament there wouldn’t be any doubt.
