Inflate-gate: Should the Patriots be DQ'd?

[SUP Leave]

It is THE story surrounding the Superb Owl. Here is Seahawks country we at least have something else to talk about as our guys are playing in the game.

The thing is it doesn't affect the game next weekend, so I really don't care. Pats will lose a draft pick IMO and still be the best team in the NFCE so again, I don't care.

We have crotch-grab fines out here in PACNW. The crotch grab fine is about the same as the fine for Clay Matthews scrambling RW3 brain in the NFCC. The NFL is weird.

Tom Brady is going to be a first hand witness to the changing of the guard next weekend. Just like PFManning and ARodgers.

I have a solution to all future problems. It would be very easy to make the balls tamper-proof. After they are certified by the refs, they could insert a colored block of silicon, wax,or  whatever. Now if anyone stuck an inflation needle in the ball, it would disappear.

Case to be closed soon, no fines, no penalties, no nothing but typical negative chatter about Patriots !!

Truthfully, I don't really care much which way the game goes. I prefer the Pats to win but no big deal if they don't. It's not like this is a bunch of local kids that I have emotional ties to. It's a bunch of very well paid guys from all over doing a job like any other business. Don't care for Bellichick personally...obviously a great coach but not someone I think I'd want a beer with. I enjoy watching the game, that's the extent of my fanhood. I have to laugh when I hear fans of another team ranting about something like this when last week/month/year they were willing to ignore bad behavior from whatever teams they like.

Free, the answer is obvious:  the Pats employed a rare Albino tibetan ostrich, to sit on the kicking ball like an egg and keep it warm.  This maternal bird-love is what accounts for the kicking ball being fully stoked, while the other 11 balls suffered mid-game shrinkage.

And I didn't need no BC professor to tell me that!!

No worry about deflated balls here!
Not sure Tom Brady or many other NFL QB's would survive here....certainly not Ben Rapeslessburger. I think they'd mount his deflated balls on the goal posts.

Spookini already beat me to it.

My nephew from Seattle said they just had a visitor stay over from Boston, and after he left, my nephew went into his closet to put on his Seahawks "12" jersey and it had been changed to "11.7".

Bob that news guy nailed it.

I wonder if this thread started by Spookini has anything to do with his all Uli SUP quiver now, I'm thinking maybe a little PSI envy!

[SlatchJim]

I hate the Patriots, but that hate hasn't taken away my ability to reason and say..."move on, next story."

[Tom]

the Patriots  ecplsined it scientificly thst it was climatically and thats good enough  for  me .

[PonoBill]

Really? This is still going on? Wow.

[spookini]

Aww, why not.  I'll bump it back to the top.  Just for PDLSFR's sake.
