    ...seriously?...uhhh, the score was 45-7.

    ...But they want us to believe that the Pats cheated and only won by purposely under-inflating the game balls?...conspiracy theories...lol.

    I'm no fan of them but it's silly. Blount ran all over them all day.

    dang conspiracy theories, BSPN has nothing better to write about? Like Brady said: "this doesn't warrant a response"...

    Yet, thanks for showing us this clip. I was unaware of....!

    Holy shit, just when you think you've heard it all. This is the equivalent of Al Sharpton complaining that the snow is to white.

    Ah here we go again, eh Rick. Black Ice and Racist White Snow....I posted this video once, months ago. In case you didn't see it, its a do not miss comedy skit, which puts racism on its head, by two half black and white comedians....

    Yes, it was 45-7, but I can completely believe this considering their track record with spy gate.... & for what it's worth, I saw this 3 places BEFORE ESPN posted it....

    ...it's not at all uncommon for multiple news outlets to report the same thing but it doesn't make it any more credible...ESPN just happened to be where I saw it first.
    ...all footballs are checked before the game begins and 6 of them are designated and marked for "kicking" only and are in possession of the officials at all times. In the 3rd quarter one of the Refs noticed that one of those kicking balls was mistakenly in play and the play was stopped at the line while they replaced it with a game ball...that's it.
    ...the Refs also handle the footballs on every play and if they don't feel right they replace them...I guess the Pats paid off the Refs too...lol.
    ...sounds like sour grapes to me and under inflated balls doesn't explain Indy's defense not showing up Sunday.

    ...this is just some BS story fabricated to get some attention and guess what?...it worked.

    Seriously 45-7 the Colts could have played with a nurf ball & it wouldn't have helped.

    So, because it was a blowout it doesn't matter? Why is it that it's always the Pats with this crap? Always a wrinkle in the rules or outright cheating. And how do you know this is the first time they've deflated balls in foul weather. Bellicheck is an outright cheater who has been caught red handed in the past, so the fact that this was found out in a blowout makes it no less significant. In my eyes his entire record is tainted…and the NFL sucks anyway.

    Oh don't get me wrong Bern, NOTHING the Patroits or that idiot Bellicheck does would surprise me & I was hoping for the Packers & Colts but, if the balls were indeed deflated don't you think the refs or the opposing QB would have noticed?

    No, because each offense uses its own footballs. As for the refs, they barely and lightly handle balls in the middle of doing everything else they need to do. I've read in an article in the BleacherReport that the Pats have been suspected of doing this in the past and when the Colts noticed they did not hesitate. Once the refs were aware of the possibility they later confiscated a 2nd ball on their own.

    ...well, that type of logic works both ways... ergo, just because the Pats were caught cheating in the past doesn't mean they are now.

    ...the Ref that spots the ball does more than "lightly handle" the footballs...they are trained to notice under/over inflated footballs...and they do so on EVERY play on BOTH sides of the ball. He handles the football more than anyone else on the field so if anyone should notice something odd, it would make sense that it would be him.

    You then have to account for fumbles & interceptions when the defense has a handle on the ball, wouldn't they notice?

    ^^^I would think so rick.

    ...but what I don't understand is that I have yet to read or hear anything stating that the ball/s in question were actually tested and found to be "under-inflated".
    ...this whole thing is kinda odd.

    Spending a lot of time on an obvious outcome.
    Did "we" really think the Colts were going up there and win....or lose a close game?

    lol


    Waste of time.

    Hell, I wouldn't put it past Belichek to ensure the Refs were provided with a one sided coin for the flip toss, yet I think the deflated ball theory is a bit far fetched. It would indeed be too noticeable, enough to stop game play, at that very moment, IF such really happened....

    I'm still waiting a press release or NFL PR, if indeed a ball was confiscated. But that's it, just one ball...?

    I agree, this is the 1st time I'm hearing anything of this sort. The News, or NFL.com & NFLTV have NOT made any statements to this degree, I think for one its just another "Conspiracy Theory" aka "Bullshit"...!

    Amen Lion, Amen....

    Prince Charming who cries when he loses a big game. He definitely won't be reincarnating as anything other than the Frog he is, or returns too, if he doesn't make the curfew ......! Sorry Brady Fans, I never have drank the Kool-Aide that is Patsies FB or TB....Even Belichek makes me want to puke and mis-spell his name, for any reason....

    11 0f 12 balls under inflated. For guys that are so anti cheaters with guys like Bonds and Clemens you sure do seem to be pretty forgiving of a team that has a proven history of cheating. Again, who knows how long they've been doing this. But you go ahead and sweep this under the rug, like we know the NFL will do.
