strek1 said:I get a kick out out of Francesa of saying if Brady were unjustly accused he'd be mad. How the hell does he know how any particular person would react? Is he a psychologist as well as a talk show host now? It's easier to believe he just has a chip on his shoulder about any Belichick team and has for years.

Missed Brady press conference cuz I had a work thing. Grantland's office thought it was a disaster. My dad is reeling. My god what happened?
and one, I think ABC, had the big honkin' BREAKING NEWS banner below the tease.ifmanis5 said:All three network news programs lead with the Pats story. NETWORK NEWS.
Fines and suspensions forthcoming. The NFL is "distraught" and "disappointed".PeaceSignMoose said:

Which I find amazing, because those guys are clearly second or third teamers of the ESPN athletes. No Cris Carter, Keyshawn, Jaws, Schlereth, Herm Edwards, Dilfer ... hell not even Tom Jackson.
The Patriots have already been decried guilty of tampering with the footballs, despite any such actual league findings. Thus, since Belichick denied it, Brady must have known. Brady denied, ergo he's lying.Bosox4416 said:I don't understany why people are saying Tom Brady is "obviously lying".. About what? Not deflating the balls?

Say what? I'm not saying Brady lied, just that he would get railed for denying it. I'd like to see more polls, I would be quite surprised if 83% believe that. I'm sure we'll see more soon.TheoShmeo said:Ed, you can say it 1000 times and I will think you are wrong each time.
The Patriots must forfeit their opportunity to play in the Super Bowl. The Colts should replace them. If it is not feasible to get the Colts to play, the Seahawks should be awarded the Super Bowl win via forfeiture.
This wouldn't have happened if Jeter was our QB.Comfortably Lomb said:
They could see it in his eyes.

And despite your worries, the overwhelming amount of the people in ESPN's poll believe Tom and The Hated Bill.

God could appear in the skies above, tell everyone to "cut the shit and move on. The Patriots are innocent," and this would still be true.

Unless you believe the poll saying 83% of people believe Belichick and Brady.

What's your take on reports that 11 of 12 Patriots footballs were underinflated during New England's 45-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts?
(Total votes: 592,507)
50%
Patriots' success is tainted
50%
Not a big deal

Dude, no. I am just saying what I think people would believe. What am I not communicating? I don't think he should have lied if he didn't do anything. I thought he came off well outside of that 12.5 comment, but we all have biases, and that's the point.TheoShmeo said:So he should have admitted it even if that wasn't true?
Insanity.
Grin&MartyBarret said:
I'm not sure why a poll that pre-dates the Brady/Belichick poll I cited--particularly one that shows a perfectly even split on the matter--is evidence in your favor?
Separate question, asked before the press conferences, I believe.WayBackVazquez said:

WCW delivered mom, so I got that going for me.SumnerH said:We don't know that, at all. Even if we believe the leaks, all they said was the the Colts' balls were within the spec at halftime, not that they weren't changed from their pre-game numbers. I've not even seen a leak about where the Colts' balls started and ended up, PSI-wise, and given the contradictory leaks on other fronts I'm waiting for an official report.
And hat tip to singaporesoxfan's WCW appropriation.

Harbaugh has been quoted several times in the past few days saying that they didn't notice anything wrong with the balls.tbb345 said:Bottom line of that article and what Jay Glazer (who is about as plugged in as anyone) confirm this shit for me. Harbaugh definitely tipped Pagano off about this
