you weren't the least bit troubled by Belichick's presser?

He's taking it absolutely serious. Funny how the fans aren't.

Kraft hasn't even made a statement yet. It's pretty telling that they are concerned about it in Foxboro.

Nah. Not one Patriots fan at work was worried whatsoever. NutmegYankee Jan 2015 #2

Of course not, KMOD Jan 2015 #5

No reason for them to be. Nyc72dem Jan 2015 #15

Not to mention the balls were swapped at half-time and they beat the Colts 28-0. NutmegYankee Jan 2015 #20

and then perhaps deflated again? KMOD Jan 2015 #25

Any proof for your baseless assertion? NutmegYankee Jan 2015 #27

of course not, as I said KMOD Jan 2015 #28

Whatever. Our media talks about everything that isn't important constantly. NutmegYankee Jan 2015 #31

according to the Colts, the Pats used the Colts footballs in the second half onenote Jan 2015 #69

Yes, I read the report issued today KMOD Jan 2015 #70

The score does not matter, the Pats cheated. CanonRay Jan 2015 #85

Well, the Giants aren't in the Superbowl this year, so the Patriots should be alright alcibiades_mystery Jan 2015 #51

I was actually rooting the Giants back then. NutmegYankee Jan 2015 #52

uuughh KMOD Jan 2015 #56

The perception of the Patriots by most fans is that they are shady . . . brush Jan 2015 #57

Don't forget the reports they taped the Rams practices before the 2002 Super Bowl Cali_Democrat Jan 2015 #61

Totally agree. yeoman6987 Jan 2015 #4

Absolutely. Nyc72dem Jan 2015 #18

The Nixon of Football. MohRokTah Jan 2015 #6

Makes sense. Nyc72dem Jan 2015 #8

Exactly. KMOD Jan 2015 #14

The Watergate break-in occurred in June 1972 Art_from_Ark Jan 2015 #29

No, he covered it up. former9thward Jan 2015 #68

Did you watch the Tom Brady press conference? MohRokTah Jan 2015 #72

This is starting to get really fucking hilarious. RiffRandell Jan 2015 #9

Pats fans are having the most fun. Nyc72dem Jan 2015 #12

be honest here, KMOD Jan 2015 #16

And that's what bothers you! Nyc72dem Jan 2015 #19

Ha! you amuse me. KMOD Jan 2015 #21

Thank you. Nyc72dem Jan 2015 #22

I wasn't at ALL troubled by Belicheck's "presser." RiffRandell Jan 2015 #23

holier than though, holy crap KMOD Jan 2015 #26

That's why I love it. RiffRandell Jan 2015 #35

I started it because I don't believe the non football fans here KMOD Jan 2015 #40

Ha! RiffRandell Jan 2015 #48

You make it sound so...innocent KMOD Jan 2015 #49

No, you were being sincere, and I thank you. RiffRandell Jan 2015 #65

I absolutely understand. KMOD Jan 2015 #66

Thank you! RiffRandell Jan 2015 #67

Of course they are taking this seriously. They work all year to get to this point. Fla Dem Jan 2015 #32

which makes you wonder wtf they did it KMOD Jan 2015 #33

If in fact the balls were tampered with, it wasn't Bellichick or Brady. Fla Dem Jan 2015 #45

No, but someone did it for Brady's liking. KMOD Jan 2015 #46

Someone in my "real" life actually said,"It's about the 'integrity' of the game..." ScreamingMeemie Jan 2015 #53

Jesus. Ballghazi. CurtEastPoint Jan 2015 #10

It's football - BY DEFINITION NOT A BIG DEAL. Daemonaquila Jan 2015 #24

Thanks. This also suggests that part of their home team advantage pnwmom Jan 2015 #30

Home team advantage KMOD Jan 2015 #37

Thanks for the info. pnwmom Jan 2015 #47

You would think the Patriots would go to great lengths to avoid . . . brush Jan 2015 #34

Yup, and I really don't understand why they did this. KMOD Jan 2015 #42

how do you explain luck being horrible in both halves onenote Jan 2015 #78

The only ones needing to explain . . . brush Jan 2015 #83

Wouldn't both teams equally benefit ManiacJoe Jan 2015 #36

No. They each have their own balls. KMOD Jan 2015 #38

Wow. Learn something new every day. ManiacJoe Jan 2015 #39

all QBs have different preferences KMOD Jan 2015 #41

Interesting. Still makes no sense, but interesting. ManiacJoe Jan 2015 #43

lol, anyway, because of this controversy KMOD Jan 2015 #44

didnt know this. interesting Liberal_in_LA Jan 2015 #58

But... he had to have felt the difference. ecstatic Jan 2015 #50

The false outrage and phoney sanctimony over this nothing issue is sickening. PeteSelman Jan 2015 #54

The deflated balls were quite a bit softer and easier to grip in the cold and rain, . . . brush Jan 2015 #55

Did you actually hold one? onenote Jan 2015 #71

Hell yeah, blame the refs KMOD Jan 2015 #73

Silly you.I'm not blaming the refs. I'm questioning the claim the balls were "quite a bit softer" onenote Jan 2015 #74

lol, did you listen to Brady's presser, KMOD Jan 2015 #75

how does it prove that the balls were "quite a bit softer"? onenote Jan 2015 #76

lol, I'm not going to argue this KMOD Jan 2015 #80

Meh... Jamaal510 Jan 2015 #60

Seahawks fan here.... Wounded Bear Jan 2015 #59

Tom must disagree ... GeorgeGist Jan 2015 #62

Apparently so KMOD Jan 2015 #64

Brady will probably still be considered the best QB ever bigwillq Jan 2015 #63

As David Corn said oldtime dfl_er Jan 2015 #81

Its a big deal because it will cost a 1st round pick Hari Seldon Jan 2015 #84
