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.

Shut the hell up! No one is interested in reading the same old trash from you. Go away to a Pats board and type your bullshit.

This. And I'll bet the Pats board is wicked-mad right now...

I will say that a SCOTUS appeal is unlikely to succeed by either side (as in the SCOTUS probably won't take the case), but is even less likely to succeed if Brady/NFLPA loses. If that's what happens, then this is just another ho-hum arbitrator's decision upheld, which is what the federal courts VERY strongly favor, so there isn't much compelling for the SCOTUS to look at.

The other thing to get out of this, either way really, is that the NFLPA will probably go to the mat, absolutely to WAR, over the arbitration section of the CBA. And the NFL may dig in its heels. Not knowing much else about what may at issue, I wouldn't be surprised to see a strike/lockout in 2020 or whenever the CBA is up for renewal over this. And it's pretty easy to see both side's positions on the matter. The NFL wants discretion to penalize player misconduct, while the NFLPA thinks Goodell does whatever he wants, whenever he wants, without notice or any regard for the rules in place or the history of how similar issues are handled in the past.

Finally, it's truly unbelievable we're still dealing with this more than a year later.

Carry on with your Pats hating, or Brady defending, as you prefer.

I like you, and outside of this particular subject, enjoy your posts. That's not sarcasm, honestly.
However, with respect to this topic:

Yep. And that's what this is all about now is his obstruction and lying.

Agree. And he deserves a suspension to being a willing party to something that amounted to cheating and helping himself and his team on the field. So a fine and a suspension.

i don't think it deserves suspension when most qbs are on the record of altering balls. Let alone.. the ball naturally alters throughout the game and it's just preference for the QB..

*the only advantage i see is fumbling issue.

Well since it obviously was the reason for fewer fumbles, that's a problem

i don't think they can prove that with 100% certainty

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Bullshit. That's as silly as "atmospheric pressure " deflating the balls. Deflated balls ABSOLUTELY give a team a ball security advantage...and they ABSOLUTELY used deflated balls.
