Cheatriots At It Again....

Can anyone here squeeze a football to make it look like that?

I bet Tom Brady and the patriots touched that ball before the NFC championship game...you know, because we know they cheated and all

Can someone remind me why this is even a big deal? Is it because they supposedly cheated? Got caught cheating? Other nfl teams/fans/players are jealous? By now, we all know that every team has probably bent the rules at some point or another, but in most cases it's been swept under the rug, ignored, or possibly revealed to be made an example out of. I don't think cheating is ok, but what if the jaguars were caught wearing illegal cleats? Would we even care? I know this isn't the point, but they outscored the colts even more in the second half with fully inflated balls...giving us more reason to laugh about this whole thing.

I know we have the right to speculate, but we know nothing right now and will have to wait for the results before putting them in our fake prison.

Thanks.

Any time someone is on the 'wrong' side of a discussion, they prefer that the discussion be terminated. But yes, this is a discussion forum.

I don't have a problem with speculation, it's just how people jump to conclusions so quickly. It only takes one person to say one thing and everyone believes exactly what they said to be true and nothing else matters

How are you coming up with that? We've discussed both sides and people are saying what they think is likely. None of us know what happened and obviously, many of the guesses presented here will be wrong. I already said that I hope I'm wrong about what I think likely happened.

I don't really know you but I've been discussing various OT football stuff with Ian for years and have a great deal of respect for his opinions. My tendency would usually be to agree with him, and he's swayed me on a few points in this discussion.

But when you have guys just saying that everyone is picking on the Patriots because we are "haters" or because of their "success" - that is classic deflection and doesn't win anyone to your way of thinking.
