Ya think?!

Vikings heating balls on the sidelines...
Falcons pumping noise into the stadium...
Browns GM texting plays down to the coach...
Dolphins clearly tampering with SUH before the start of free agency
It goes on and on , yet you hear nothing about these things.

When it comes to the Pats, it's a media frenzy on such a minor issue. When your on top for as long as them, everyone is out to get them.

Much ado about nothing. To me this has less significance than George Brett's pine tar bat incident.

I think a lot of it has to do with track record more than jealousy. Spy gate was a black eye on the franchise, and while this is a small thing, it appears that Brady was either lying or covering up his involvement. If ball inflation is such a small deal, then why deny?

Just let this die already!

... many of the above listed examples have far greater effect on a game (including added PA noise) and/or are more serious team/upper management violations. Add my Niner's "probably, likely, inappropriate" cap practices during the mid '90's to the list of far greater "probably" crimes.

Honestly, I think the Patriots exploited a brilliant loop hole and deserve some credit for it. I'm a Redskins fan with absolutely no ties for to the Pats, but after this whole fiasco and witnessing Brady and Bellicheck's complete disregard for the rules I started to root for them. Seriously, they outsmarted the system and won. I say good for them.

The balls used in the second half were different...and Brady threw up even more points. The rest of the country is JEALOUS of 15 years of success.

Is anyone upset with Rodgers who admits he over inflates the footballs?

No? Really?

Then be quiet.

Thanks for lightening the mood Denny. It's only sports. As a Pats fan, I don't care, but I respect everyone else's opinion that the Pats are big fat cheaters. I'll tell you one thing...it beats the sh*t out of the first 40 years of the franchise's history, so I'm not complaining about anything... thanks God it's Friday and Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!!

100 seconds is enough time to go into the bathroom, take out 10 balls, ACCURATELY deflate them to 11.5, replace them, and come back out?

They weren't accurately deflated. It was haphazard and they varied in pressure. That's described in the report to refute the "it was the atmosphere" defense.

Oh, btw, I'm a Patriots fan - and a big Brady fan - and I'm disappointed in their actions.
