If Clark would commission a group to study and find ways to cheat/exploit the rules, we'd be there. Code name "BB"... But alas, the Chiefs will be the last to do it, unfortunately.

That being said, I'm sure teams like Denver will ramp-up their efforts to improve on things like Pam (body spray) and pick-plays in an effort to "keep up with the Krafts"!

Lick my unwiped diarrhea taint Hootie. If you're too big a pussy to be in in this thread unsubscribe from it.

You mean "legal ointment" and "legal rubs." Oh - and "Legal blocks" when the chop blocks come back this season under Kubes.

Let's accept for a second that the Patriots cheated. Let's use the gauge that the ref says he DIDN'T use pre-game (the one that "proved" the cheating).

That gauge establishes that the Patriots balls were 0.21 pounds under pressure compared to what the ideal gas law states it should be. Two-TENTHS of a pound of pressure.

Not TWO Pounds (as the NFL falsely rumored). Two-TENTHS of a pound.

You think ANYONE can detect that small of a difference? Going from 11.3 pounds to 11.1?

And that's why this whole thing ultimately makes NO sense at all.

:rolleyes:

Welcome to the continent, the rest of us have been here since the needle plunged into the ball.

Have a great season, I'm sure RK, BB, TB, and the "creative committee" are hard at work to make sure it's awesome. And enjoy opening day and the 18 hours of "Tom this and Tom that" coverage.

0.21 PSI. 0.21. PLS.

The story right now is that the equipment manager went completely rogue and decided to deflate the balls himself. The Pats basically threw these guys under the bus so even they know this was entirely possible.

So we are to assume that Tom Brady, a control freak and a guy who understands PSIs so well that he was 1 of 2 of the architects of the rule in the first place, had no idea that the balls seemed to have a little less air than usual. And Brady and Bellichick, two control freaks, didn't ream out the equipment manager when they realized the balls seemed more deflated than usual?

And it's not like the Pats even tried to ignore calling this guy the deflator. They could have said "deflator? I've never heard anyone call him that. He's lying." Instead, they gave some totally ridiculous explanation about how he needed to lose weight. Did we forget that already?

I get if you're outraged about the process. But the fact that people are actually buying what these liars are selling is beyond me. The ridiculous "deflator" explanation. Brady's ridiculous claim about cell phone destruction habits. Brady's complete denial that he even realized the bal he was throwing was off. Geez.

Maybe you've not come all the way ashore, you're still spewing the propaganda they circulated as talking points.

By the way, invite to two "evidently innocent" ball boys to the island, they might enjoy a place where they can explain why, exactly, they got fired. We have room for them too...

Have a great season. Play within the rules please, you'll still enjoy a 1:32 chance of winning it all...

:):):)

It'll be nice to track how the deflators live in the coming years. Perhaps they'll win the lottery (a $5M one that's only open to former/fired employees). It's possible, especially in Whoresville. If not, perhaps seeing if the people around them come across a lot of luck, well that might be interesting too. But I'm not suggesting anything (and I just broke my phone, so don't ask!!)...

As for Tom, c'mon man, he's new to the game! Not only is he new, he hardly ever handled a football given that he was a QB... How could he possibly have a sense of what a football would feel like? You need to ask people live DBs about that, they know...

Oh, and have a great season... I'm sure there will be many things under the Xmas tree as y'all make your run for 8...

Basic facts-- you're getting many of them wrong.

Employees weren't fired.

What Patriots fans believe:

• The guy was nicknamed "the deflator" because he was fat (Pats didn't deny knowledge of the nickname. They actually gave an explanation)
• Brady accidentally destroyed his phone coincidentally at the wrong time
• Brady never knew that the footballs he was throwing were deflated

I'm not even embellishing. These are things you have to actually believe to deny the Pats/Brady had any knowledge this was going on. That doesn't even get into the fact that a controlling organization like New England never once caught on that there was a guy sneaking footballs into the bathroom. Scott Pioli flips out over gum wrappers (Patriot Way), but doctoring footballs....

Amusing that you don't even realize that NFL propaganda war that was raged here. You say I'm spouting the Patriots talking points, but you're spewing the NFL's, many fo which turned out to be inaccurate when the light shone on the process.

Whatever, let the hate flow. It's all good. And trust me when I say I will definitely enjoy the NFL season, as I have enjoyed the many years of great football that I have been privileged to watch since Belichick's arrival.

OK, you might need to get back on the boat, you might not be as ready for the island as I thought...

But have a great season. By this time next year y'all will be sporting, prolly, another tarnished tin cup, but it'll be special to y'all. And Tom will bet another sweater. All's right in Kraft's world.

You think any human can discern the difference between 11.3 PSI and 11.1 PSI?

And that's if you believe the ref was WRONG about which gauge he used. If his memory was right, then the PSI was within the ideal gas law.

But forget that, more fun to call them cheaters and hang meaningless asterisks. Have fun, it's all good.
