@SportsCenter: BREAKING: NFL investigation shows Patriots footballs were deflated during AFC Championship Game. (via @mortreport) http://twitter.com/SportsCenter/status/557752453022883840/photo/1

 

 

 

Interesting rumor out about talk of this after the Ravens game too. Yikes!

Doesn't the ref check this before the game? Or is the air removed afterwards? This seems to be an easy issue to fix. And how did this effect Blount running over Colt defenders?

 

Yes.

 

Just stick a needle or any object in the inflation hole.

 

They could have played with live pigs and still beat the crap out of Indy.

When the temps drop here, my tires lose pressure. Could the same be said with footballs? Maybe they were kept inside then brought out into cooler temps.

If thats the case the Colts footballs would have been deflated as well, that wasn't the case at all.

I think this is some serious stuff. I mean, let's face it, my Cowboys were chastized for the Detroit game where the flag was picked up. Everyone said JJ was cheating and buying refs and stuff. It made national news and was repeated time and time again. But these Patriots, who have had other cheating accusations, take the footballs and deflate them for better grip, and it seems we are a little lighthearted about it. I actually found myself laughing at some of the jokes as they were good, but then I realized how serious this is. I don't even have a guess as to what the penalty should be but it should be stiff.

    • Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level. 
    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
    • @CIS_org National Security Senior Fellow @BensmanTodd tells Steve Bannon how the U.S. State Department and USAID have been sending American taxpayer funds to religious nonprofits to facilitate mass immigration to our southern border. Bensman says 248 nonprofits are participating in the United Nations’ 2024 agenda to distribute $1.6 billion in cash, transportation, food, and shelter to U.S.-bound immigrants across Mexico and Latin America.
