So What Does Everyone Think About Deflate-Gate?

25,141 707 January 22, 2015 at 12:50 PM in Sporting Goods
The title says it. What does everyone think about this bizarre "Deflate-Gate" deal that is far more interesting that this year's Super Bowl? Belichick reaffirmed that he knew nothing at all about the football preparation and denied having anything to do with it.

Tom Brady is supposed to be talking publicly very soon and may be admitting to arranging to have the footballs prepped to the way he likes them.

So, is this a big deal? Is this something that happens with pretty much every team and it has just become public?

Quote from PaintTheSkyGrey :
11/12 balls 2 PSI under the limit to 1/12 balls 2 PSI under the limit, and 10 balls maybe 1 PSI under the limit is backtracking.

The initial report was 11/12 were 2 PSI under. Now only 1 was 2 PSI under.

You're being intellectually dishonest. Still waiting on a reply to my questions, too.
So why such a variance in the thermodynamics? Did they fill each ball in a different room? Was the 12th the control ball?

What question?

Why because I won't just jump on the thermodynamics excuse?

Anyway the league hired surveillance analysts early in the week and now ESPN is saying that the leagues attention is now focused on the Patriots locker room attendant. ESPN is reporting that the league has interviewed him and have VIDEO.

This is one of the things that tipped me off earlier in the week. Why hire a company who's job it is to analysis video unless you have video that is relevant. Now they say they have a video, they have interviewed him and he is now their target.

Interesting. But yeah I don't want to have a rational conversation.

You say a lot of things that are supposedly happening but you never provide and links to back it up. Maybe people would take you more seriously if there was another source saying the same things that you are claiming.

Also realize that just because most of the hype leans to a primarily gains to the quarterback with deflated balls it actually helps the whole team get a grip on the balls

Data analysis points to the Patriots starting to deflate balls in 2007. SMH
