RE: Deflategate. Say it ain't so.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Exactly. That's horrible. The point of competition and sports is a fair and level playing field. That everyone operates under the same rules. Do we have to corrupt everything? What a terrible message to kids. Wow. Belicheat is a slime.

TrudyML · Guru

I agree, LL. But as ball boys are saying that is hard to do. And? Each ref should be fired because they touch the ball every play. We isn't that being brought up? They touch the ball, set it up for play. Where are they weighing in? Just wondering.

Shoot, Colts players are saying they would have gotten beat with the Pats using a beachball. Which was funny.

Yes he did. As I said before, Bill would sell his mother for a win. That man has absolutely no morals...

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Cheating is wrong, period. Whether it changed the outcome of the game is irrelevant. Pete Rose was banned from baseball for betting on his own team. Cheating in a competition should result in immediate firing, forfeiture, etc.

Well, I read an article this morning on Yahoo. The writer decided to test how hard it is to deflate a football and if he affects the performance. He said, with a needle, it took no time at all to deflate the ball, and the performance was improved. If some guy who doesn't play football can deflate a ball in no time at all - is it really that hard?

I guess I don't understand why you would give the teams control of the balls if the air pressure is a regulation. Have the teams bring the balls, the refs check them and they stay in a bin for the refs to pass out as needed.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

I didn't realize they all weren't using the same balls. The balls should all be controlled by the refs. And, you use what is provided by them period. Just like when you go play a basketball game at another school, you use whatever game ball they have choosen. But, both teams use it. And, I didn't know kickers had their own balls. I think that is absurd.

Thanks for the update!

I saw a headline that the Ravens tipped off the Colts.

flan

TrudyML · Guru

The refs have to review the balls before play.

Really? The kickers do? I hadn't heard of that, either.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Who cares who tipped off who? Cheating is cheating. Dont cheat and nobody can tip someone off right?

I read this and almost peed my pants. This is on a different message board taking about this.

They send in Lt. Dan Kaffee:

Kaffee: Coach Bellichick, did you deflate those footballs?

Roger Goodell: you don't have to answer that question!

Hoodie: I'll answer the question!
(To Kaffee)
Hoodie: You want answers?

Kaffee: I think I'm entitled to.

Hoodie: You want answers?

Kaffee: I want the truth!

Hoodie: you can't handle the truth!
(pauses)
Hoodie: Son, we live in a world that has Quarterbacks with neckbeards, and those Quarterbacks need to be sent home to their mommas. Who's gonna do it? You? Rex Ryan? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Luck, and you curse the Patriots. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Colts loss, while tragi, probably keeps the Cleveland Browns from tanking. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, makes a bunch of morons from the North East feel like they've accomplished something in their sad lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at Super Bowl parties, you want me on that airline, you need me on that sideline. We use words like "We're on to Cincinnati." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a helmet, and try and block Vince Wilfork. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

Kaffee: Did you deflate those footballs?

Hoodie: I did the job I.....

Kaffee: Did you deflate those footballs?

Hoodie: You're ####### right I did!
Hoodie: Haters gonna hate.

A few years ago, the NFL set dress standard for coaches. They weren't really strict, just common sense. Belichick refused to follow them and to this day, wears a hoodie with the sleeves cut off at the elbow. He looks homeless. If I'm not mistaken (it happened one time wink ), he is fined every time the doesn't meet dress code...

In one of the articles I read earlier today, Brady was asked if he cheated.

His answer: "I don't know..."

LOL no I won't. I think the pic is cute and after a long day in the sun. O4 had already gone to bed and I was entertaining two 9YOs. I look great with all that in mind! We were at the beach, catching crabs, getting sun, drinking....

LOL comparing professional sports to HS is so not a starter. There is money involved. Belachiek and Brady have made so much for the NFL that the NFL has to be smart about this. It's all about the money.

flan327 · Itty bitty's Grammy

Mark Brunell & Fran Tarkenton don't believe Brady.

Even I don't believe that an EXPERIENCED quarterback can't tell the difference between a properly inflated ball & an under-inflated one.

From Michael Rosenberg at Sports Illustrated:

If you don't like Tom Brady, you won't believe a word he had to say Thursday. The problem is I DO like Brady, and I STILL don't believe what he said.

flan

flan327 · Itty bitty's Grammy

From Nancy Armour at USA Today:

The New England Patriots are the most secretive, most suspicious, most aggressively competitive team in the league. Probably all of sports. Yet Bill Belichick has "no explanation" for how balls might have been deflated during Sunday's AFC Championship. Tom Brady has "no knowledge of anything" – except that he'd never do anything to break the rules, of course.

Now, if this were another team, ignorance would probably pass for an excuse. But Belichick has proven time and again that no detail is small enough to escape his attention, that he'll do just about anything to gain a competitive advantage. This, remember, is the guy who once put Brady on the injury report for three years running just to throw off opponents.
