It is a little crazy but I've been coming around on the possibility. Jackson said he didn't notice anything different about the ball, but a major part of this cluster**** hinged on the leak that he noticed something, and that the Colts had previously noticed something in the November game.E5 Yaz said:It's unlikely to be discovered, but there's a less than rational part of me that really hopes it's discovered that the Colts took the air out of the Jackson interception ball
The Allented Mr Ripley said:I hope the Patriots burst into the homes of each and every hater and fucking loser who's whined about cheating, eat their children alive in front of them, and then use the scattered bones as toothpicks.
Fuck 'em all.

Remarkable. You will never ever be able to convince some people that the sun rises in the East and sets in the West if they believe otherwise.

This will all be in the report. I'm wondering how ESPN operates that day. Blackout?riboflav said:Just a terrible time for Rappaport's report to come out. It's going to be buried. The pre-game story lines were set long before today.

Dorothy Wibi is a saint!Scriblerus said:I hope the Patriots take Wibi's mother out to a nice seafood dinner and then never call her again
So the ball that saw game action lost additional pressure? I can't think of a possible reason for that. It's not like they played a quarter of professional football before the interception...soxhop411 said:

@ProFootballTalk: We've asked NFL for comment on report from NFL employee that tends to undermine NFL's investigation into #DeflateGate.

@WEEI: John Harbaugh on NBC pregame responds to the idea that he or anyone from the Ravens tipped off the Colts about deflated balls: "Ridiculous."

snowmanny said:Well, the evidence we have is that the Colts balls were >12.5 at halftime which is scientifically curious unless they were overinflated at some point or purposely chilled prior to pre-game testing, and that the Patriots ball that made it to the Indianapolis sideline was at a lower psi than other Patriots balls. So, yes, there is circumstantial evidence of tampering by the Colts.
SumnerH said:
The idea that the Colts' balls sat in a cold equipment truck overnight and were at game temperature when tested is completely plausible.
Right. There are plausible explanations as to why different balls would record different psis. And then there are conspiratorial theories that can, of course, be cut in a number of ways. Sometimes I (regrettably) fight fire with fire instead of an extinguisher.SumnerH said:

No discussion of, you know, science or the reports that most balls were apparently just under. But Chris Collinsworth has more doubts because of the way Brady answered questions in an interview.
Kill me now. Is it 630 yet?
Look; put up or shut up Collinsworth. You know probably less than we do. Dumb fuck.djhb20 said:Collinsworth said "the NFL has opened a can of worms, and they are going to find worms."
I think that's true, but not in the way he meant it.
I just don't get why Tom Brady is absolutely obligated to get mock interrogated by Media DA Bob Costas before the biggest game of his career. Instead of NBC whining about his answers they should be grateful he didn't simply say "There is an ongoing investigation and the players union has advised me against talking about it with you guys". If Bob keeps being petulant simply keep repeating which is kind of what happened but Costas would never dare cross examine Manning like that. Such garbage.djhb20 said:Discussion on NBC that just happened makes me almost not watch to watch the Super Bowl on NBC.

So here’s a tip for when you’re out there surfing the internet and listening to everyone talk about the “integrity of the game.” Every time you hear that phrase, swap it out for “the value of the asset.” This makes things clearer. Because regardless of what you think about the deflated balls, Belichick winning so much has depleted the value of the other owner’s assets—and so if they can create a stir and dock him a first round pick, the way they did the last time, during so-called Spygate, when they managed to convince the world that filming something that is already being broadcast live in front of 80,000 people was a crime against integrity—then they are going to take that chance, fallout be damned.
One of the reasons everyone wants the Patriots out of the Super Bowl is that there may not be that many more to go around.
Yeah, this is the one I'm sending to my NYC brother-in-law. It's short, kind of understandable, and unbiased.lambeau said:http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/01/sports/football/to-unlock-deflation-puzzle-mind-your-pv-nrts.html?ref=sports
Columbia Physics Department weighs in: SOSH has been right all along, balls at halftime temperature drop from 12.5 to 11.0.
Of course he was. That's why I said fuck him with a garden rake. But I definitely got the impression that the can of worms thing did not relate to finding more as it relates directly to the Pats.djhb20 said:The question was whether it would be as big a deal if it was another team.
I don't think he was saying all teams do it. Maybe he was. Regardless, he was horrible in that segment.
