Did Brady just admit to deflating the balls?

[cezero]

I wonder in what other organizations are the ball kids so powerful that they're allowed to do anything they want completely unregulated?

Silly people don't realize how bad this makes NE look. If it was the ball kids that did it, then the entire NE organization is a disorganized joke with zero leadership. If it was Belichick or Brady, then they're lying, cheating scum. "Incompetent" is the key word either way.

 

[Mr Steeler]

EVERY QB wants their balls a certain way.... so because he said that he admits to "deflating them?" really?

Well since 11 of them were deflated yeah it has that appearance.

 

[NEPatsfan]

They tested the balls with 2 different gauges so at least that part I would say should be fine. Throw in they checked the Indy balls with those pumps and those balls were found to be correct.

The problem is we don't actually know the Colts footalls were tested. And as more information comes out, it's starting to sound like the league has nothing.

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's press conference with the ballboy

 

[NEPatsfan]

That's not a conspiracy. That's simply a case of someone needing to take the fall.

And the Patriots haven't done what you're suggesting.

 

[cezero]

Repeat after me:

I hated the Pats and Brady before this ..that's how I know they are guilty.

Nah, it's the ball kids for sure. They chose to do it all on their own.

I really wonder how low somebody's IQ has to be to believe that.

Yes but Brady did not say that... He said he likes them a certain way... Scuffed up, bigger laces, things of that nature but he never said, "I like them deflated"

 

[Money]

And the Patriots haven't done what you're suggesting.

Yet

 

[NEPatsfan]

Yes, you're one of those who will think that the ball kid chose, all on his own, to do this.

There's being a football fan, and there's being stupid. Look back, way back, and you'll see where you crossed the line.

And Goodell will play stupid and smile and nod for the camera like a nice little NE lackey.

Actually it's starting to sound like nobody did anything, whcih means if the balls were off the Officials once again dropped the ball, no pun intended.

I dunno ... let's ask Clarky how his Trojans did it ...

"HEY CLARKY ... "

 

[ArlingtonCowboys100]

How sad for tommy. Somebody went behind his back and deflated footballs every week and he never noticed a difference because the balls were always deflated? What a mean trick. Cheating all along and he was not even aware of it.

 

[whywork2]

off with your balls you infidels

I think the story that the balls were tested and tested properly before the game is going to fold like a 4 dollar lawn chair.

I heard they all were.

 

[fredmccallyRTR]

I like my balls not too cold or cramped.

 

[cezero]

Anyway, anybody who looks at my posting history will see I'm not anti-Brady or anti-NE.

The narrative the organization has put together so far defies any semblance of logic or reason, though. I just want to know how it happened, and all that's going on so far is obfuscation.

 

[redseat]

And is there anyway to "prove" without a doubt that the balls were actually deflated during the actual game play? How quickly were the balls tested as soon as this was brought to someones attention?

 

[NEPatsfan]

If no single person steps up to be the fallguy Goodell will have no choice but to make the punishment hit the whole franchise. Probably draft picks and maybe a reduction of their salary cap too. Then it will be up to Kraft to decide if he's had enough and deal with Brady and Belichick on his own.


If Brady or someone else came forward and said they did it they could face a fine and suspension but maybe save the team something worse. Doubtful that it happens now unless by some miracle the ball boy or some equipment manager comes forward and rats someone out.

But how does that work if the league has no evidence that anyone actually willfully did anything wrong? Which is exactly how it's starting to sound.

Yeah, I'm wondering what's going on with the officials here as well.

Everything is just way off with this.

Starting to sound like it. We will have to wait and hear from the league, but starting to have that feel to it.
