Pats Cheating Comfirmed

[PizzaDoughz]

According to the report, the league sources say the NFL determined 11 of the 12 footballs used by the Patriots were under-inflated by two pounds per square inch each. Per NFL rules, footballs are required to be inflated between 12.5 and 13.5 PSI and weigh between 14 and 15 ounces.

While it's fun watching Hootie flail about regarding QBs, there's some more pertinent information about the latest charge regarding the K ball:

Per a league source with knowledge of the situation, here’s what happened. After the opening kickoff, a league employee named Scott Miller called for the football that was used. It was the football marked “K1″ by the game officials before the commencement of the contest. According to the source, video shows Miller getting the football.

It’s not unusual for footballs to be removed from play for later sale in support of charitable endeavors. Typically, however, the teams are informed of the fact that footballs will be removed — especially when the “K” balls will be taken out of service. If the team is told that a “K” ball will be removed, the equipment staff prepares multiple “K” balls for use in the game during the limited time teams have to get the new, out-of-the-box footballs ready for use.

In this specific case, the Patriots weren’t told that the ball marked K1 would be removed from play. After the Patriots scored the first touchdown of the game, the Patriots noticed on the extra-point attempt that the ball had not been prepped the same way that K1 had been prepped. So the Patriots raised the issue with the game officials, and the process commenced of trying to track down the K1 ball.

In-stadium video, according to the source, shows Miller later bringing the ball back toward the playing area. In-stadium video also shows Patriots part-time, game-day employee Jim McNally giving a football to the game officials. Video does not exist of Miller giving the football he had taken to McNally, but it’s possible to infer that Miller gave the same football to McNally that McNally then tried to give to the game officials.

Scott Miller, per the source, is the employee who was fired. It’s unclear whether the termination arose solely from the incident during the AFC title game, or whether investigation by the league unearthed other evidence of Miller removing footballs from play and selling them on the side. Predictably, the league declined PFT’s request for comment on Miller’s termination or the reasons for it.

The Colts played in a legacy game against the Saints.


Manning being Manning, he threw a pick-6 to cost his team the game.



The Broncos played in a legacy game against the Seahawks.

Manning being Manning, he botched the opening snap, threw a pick 6, and cost his team the game.

Choking dog

[Hootie]

Manning cost his team that game against the Hawks? Ha. . Botched the snap? Hysterical.

The Colts/Saints game was totally changed by the onside kick.

You can rewrite history all you want, or swing things however you want, all I know is, in the last decade...in playoff games (HUGE GAMES), Peyton has 2 wins heads up against Tom to Tom's 0.

Yikes!

I wonder how much cash under the table Scott Miller and Jim McNally are going to get from both Kraft and Goodell for taking the fall in this?

If you read the reports, and they are accurate, McNally's been completely exonerated. He's probably contacting an attorney in anticipation of threatening to sue ESPN.

He'd rather make stuff up instead.

Lol, I'm busting her ass really. It's fun to watch their precious team come under such scrutiny.

[GloryDayz]

Wow.... The fans sure seem to care more about all of this than the league's 31 other teams.

I'm right there, but I'm irritated that the Chiefs are one of the 31 teams who aren't outraged enough about this to break from their code of silence and say enough is enough.
