    My God. If you can't come up with a credible story, try to come up with one that is at least plausible....

    The NFL might as well come out and tell the fans, "We think you're all stupid."
    Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

    There is NO WAY on EARTH that a ball boy would act on his own to deflate footballs. ZERO PERCENT CHANCE. If a ball boy did it, someone told him to. And someone probably paid him a nice chunk of change to keep quiet about it.

    i bet they 'find out' that this ball boy hates tom brady and has secretly been deflating balls for years hoping to eventually get him in trouble............

    With Belichick, Brady and Kraft all publically and vehemently denying anything to do with it, they are daring the NFL to find some evidence to the contrary. They are pretty confident that they have loose ends tied up.

    Can anyone explain this to me? If an NFL player is accused of domestic violence, he is not permitted to play in any games until he proves himself innocent, in a court of law. So if the Patriots are being accused of cheating, and there is more and more evidence surfacing, why are they permitted to play in this game?

    The level of evidence...no different then when bail is set for someone who commits a crime or bail denied...

    I don't t think that underinflating footballs is minor. Several sports figures have agreed that it offers a huge advantage, not just in the passing game but running game and avoiding fumbles. If you read the article on the statistics of the cheater's fumble rate since 2007, this could definitely have something to do with it.

    And, Belichick put everything on the line to illegally video record the other team's signals and continued doing it after being warned not to. He's proven more than willing to do anything to get an advantage.

    I'm going to play the other side of the fence for a second just because I enjoy debating from the other stance on occasion. I will say this, most football players attempt to bend and break rules to gain an advantage. This has probably happened since the game was invented. If you ask an OLman,would you hold if you knew you wouldn't get caught? I believe most would say yes. So, it begs the question...where is the line? And can players and coaches take a moral high ground without being a hypocrite? The Pats were caught and should be punished. But, I don't believe there is a single team who is innocent or saintly.
    Trolls are people too.
