Not sure that is proof. maybe he had to go to the bathroom, I take my balls with me to the bathroom.

I find the article strange that it states he took 24 balls for both teams. Why would he have both teams balls? Each team provides 12 balls with the home team providing 12 additional, 36 total.

The Patriots were the home team. That's all I got.

Reports also say he was in the bathroom for only 90 seconds. Still not proof if you ask me but then again I'm all about innocent until proven guilty.

THE BALLS WERE DEFLATED...PERIOD. What's innocent about that?

Tinydancer · Guru

There's another report that the balls were not checked before the game by the refs as stated. I'm glad you're not the judge, jury, and executioner. So glad you know exactly what happened while the NFL isn't even sure yet...lol

Yes and they are questioning people still. They have not said one way or the other if they have proof. Sorry you don't like it but again I'll say "innocent until proven guilty".

They have PROOF that the balls were underinflated. What's so hard to understand about that? confuse

Ohfour · Hooker

Deflategate is not just a bunch of hot air, the NFL said Friday.

The league said the Super Bowl-bound New England Patriots used footballs that didn't meet league specifications in the first half of the AFC championship game last Sunday.

So you both know exactly what happened even though the NFL hasn't even finished their investigation and the commissioner has let this drag on when they could offer PROOF? Must have some nice crystal balls where you. Accusations are just that when there is NO PROOF. I will wait until the investigation is through before I'll say anyone did anything because that's how justice is supposed to work in case you've forgotten.

You cannot possibly be this dense. Do you realize how crazy you sound?

The NFL said the balls were underinflated. Why are you arguing about that?

Tinydancer · Guru

Call me crazy all you want. We'll see how this turns out. This started as a witch hunt and I believe you want them to be guilty whether they are or not. Who knows how the balls were deflated? Where you there? Did you see it? Again an accusation of wrongdoing will require proof not hysterics.

We know how its going to turn out. They won't be penalized. Because they are the Patriots.

They used illegal balls. Someone in their organization tampered with them. That is a fact. That is proof. I don't know what your definition of proof is, but because you refuse to believe it doesn't make it so. And Pats fans wonder why everybody thinks they're nuts...

Not only that, but they are the MOST obnoxious fans I've ever encountered. Worse than the Raiders fans, and that's saying something...

Tinydancer · Guru

Your OPINION is just that. Unless you know who did what and how and when they did it I'll wait for the NFL to decide because you know "they are doing the investigation". If it was as cut and dry as you'd like to believe then why are they dragging their feet? Oh yes because the Patriots win too much and you have to drag them down. The NFL has not said a single word about the them being guilty but you know because you've seen the information they have? Again my stance is that they are innocent until proven guilty and I don't care if you think you're opinion is better than mine.

Tinydancer · Guru

How are we obnoxious? Because we root for our team? Sheeesh there's a good reason to call names.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

I'm wondering what kind of proof is needed besides 11 under-inflated balls that were properly inflated before the game? That is pretty damning. This isn't a court of law, so I don't know what kind of proof is needed besides common sense. I mean, if you saw a kid's desk in school with answers written all over it - wouldn't that be proof enough they cheated? Even if they say they didn't look at the answers?

No, it's not because they win too much. It's because they are classless and their fans are obnoxious. I don't like the Raiders for the same reason.

And it's NOT my opinion that their balls were illegal. That's been proven. It had to be someone inside their organization since, you know, they supplied the balls. I'm quite positive that a Colts employee didn't get their hand on 11 of their 12 balls and deflated them.

The NFL is "dragging their feet" because they don't want to this interfere with the Super Bowl.

Rooting for your team is not obnoxious. Being obnoxious to the point of being removed from the stadium is not simply rooting for your team.

My tires do too actually. When it's cold, the pressure light comes on. When it warms up, it goes off.

The problem with that is that the Colts' balls were in the same stadium.

I don't even care - but from what I've read, there is no way 11 out of 12 balls got that deflated as a fluke. And it is NOT that hard to remove air from a ball - it just takes a pressure needle.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Yes. If it was weather related then the other balls wouldhave deflated.

The low pressure sensor in a lot of cars is set for 25 psi, which is pretty low. There's a plate visible somewhere telling you what the correct inflation pressure is, probably over 30 psi. Cold may lower the pressure a couple of pounds, so if the light's coming on, you should make sure all five tires are properly inflated.

Most tire dealers will check that for you for free. (At least, mine will.)

LOL, while out to lunch with DS (with a tongue pierced waitress wearing heels) a news story came on CNN saying what a crock this whole story. The NFL investigation found zero intent or violations and only investigated due to public outcry. So that wraps up most of the postings in the past few days. BTW, I tipped 20% even though the waitress had a lisp due to the piercing and the service was lousy.
