Judging by who posted the article, I have a pretty good idea where the article is headed.

If you love the Pats* so much, why not go to a Pats* board?

[Steelhere10]

I agree, why spend that much time on here defending them.

Fixed that for you!

so you cannot be a Steeler fan and be objective on this matter......I've never said, that they were innocent or shouldn't be
punished if found guilty......

Another long, wordy bit of zero-content prose.

Yeah, the refs, who get to handle the balls a few times a game, a couple of games per year, handle them much more than the guy who gets to palm it and grip it and throw or hand it off every single offensive snap.

I managed to get through a few paragraphs of the drivel. The guy thinks he's a reporter or something and has tried hard to be one.

Show me where I'm not being objective? No different, when I defended Ben when people were calling him a rapist or Tomlin stepping on the field to name a few...
One thing we learned is you are not.....

There is a difference between being objective and simply ignoring information...

What? the refs handling the ball a few times a game, a couple of games per year? What kind of football do you watch?

The refs are part-time. You can't seriously believe that the refs handle a football as much as Tom Brady. Brady has more than 7000 pass attempts alone...that does not count handoffs or sacks in the regular season. Neither does that count preseason nor postseason. Neither does that count training camps. Nor OTAs. Nor practices. It also doesn't count his college, high school or pop warner time. Brady has basically spent the last 30 years with a football in his hand. A part-time ref can't possibly match that.

I never said, that the refs match Brady on handling the ball... but a few times a game? a couple of games a year?...what is that?

I'm not objective when it comes to the Pats**.... oh, the horror.

You are being objective and that seems to be why some have a problem on here, I just gave up arguing about it. The refs handle the balls throughout the games, they test the balls before the games and they are the ones paid to know if the ball is regulation ( size, shape, texture, pressure) if anyone should know it should be them.

Agreed. Like you, and probably many others, I've just quit bothering. It's not worth my time to argue about it.

[Slapstick]

Nobody really argues that point. The arguing truly comes in when the refs failure somehow absolves the perpetrators of any wrongdoing...it does not...

[bostonsteeler]

THe refs are part time. Each game has multiple refs, each ref handles the ball a few times.
Few refs get 16 games a year..

Long insinuated that the refs handle the balls more than the people who play the game.

[hawaiiansteel]

THe refs are part time.

it's time for the NFL to have full-time referees...

Right. And they were regulation when they checked them before the game and not w/in regulation when they checked them at half-time. These are two things they DID know.
