Should The Patriots Be Disqualified From The Super Bowl?

[Discotrish]

Honest to God, ANYONE that's excited about this should be ashamed of yourselves.

You've totally poisoned the Superbowl out of spite.

Enjoy yourselves whining all game about trivia...

There's a reason why Belichek, Brady and Kraft are consistent winners and most of the rest of the teams are consistent losers and it has nothing to do with cheating...

Lecter's dance card isn't full.

Couldn't decide if this item belonged in my Weird Florida News thread or here. But at least an arrest has been made!

A Florida judge today issued an arrest warrant for the world’s biggest Tom Brady fan.

Victor Thompson--who has a replica of Brady’s New England Patriots helmet tattooed across his skull--failed to appear today for a court hearing in connection with his arrest for felony narcotics possession. As a result, an arrest warrant was signed by a Circuit Court judge.

The 46-year-old Thompson also was a no-show at a January 8 court hearing, according to records.

I'm hoping Irsay gets good and liquored up at the game and punches Kraft in the mouth.

How ironic.

He looks as if he's been playing football without a helmet.

What happens to the inflation level of your tires in the winter? Cold air gets denser, so if you inlate the ball in a 75 degree room, then have them outside in 50 degree weather, what's going to happen to them? Guess what?

Nothing.

You're not going to see your tires go down until it's down into the single digits.

50 degrees is not enough to shrink a ball.

[YardRat]

Sure gives a whole new meaning to the term 'anti-trust', doesn't it?

[CommissarSpartacus]

Nothing.

BS, not to mention there is no rule about the temperature of the air you fill the ball with.

It's a mathematical certainty - air expands and contracts according to it's temperature.

Hey, that's the same map for all the people that believed Saddam had weapons of mass destruction!

[CommissarSpartacus]

Are you patriots fans?

Do I need to join a lynch mob to prove I don't like black people?

Do I need to endorse this nonsense to prove I'm not a Pat's fan?

WHY the **** should any of this have to do with what team you root for?

Ask yourself this - if this issue HAD NOT arisen, what would have been the big stories about Roger Goodell and the NFL in the run up to the Superbowl?

Ray Rice? Adrian Peterson? Concussions and brain trauma among retired players? Something else?

But now, all that's gone and the only story is the Patriots and their underinflated balls.

Boy, this has worked out so well for Goodell, it's almost like he planned it!

Only when it serves a larger complaint about Americans. Note the comment about Iraq.

[Historian]

In fact, I don't recall any deflation with the footballs that day we beat the Raiders in the Divisional round, in January of 1994.

The temp at kickoff was -4.

Unfortunately, you guys have a disastrous penchant for believing things that just aren't true.

Not my fault...

Did you test them? Were they filled inside or outside?

I heard on WGR this morning that if it was 70 degrees where the ball was filled, the temp would have to drop to -17 degrees to lose that much air pressure.

And if they filled it with warmer air, which is not against the rules?

[Joe Fo Sho]

And if they filled it with warmer air, which is not against the rules?

What's the exact wording in the rule book about this?

[IlluminatusUIUC]

And if they filled it with warmer air, which is not against the rules?

The rules state what the pressure is supposed to be during the game. If they are setting the balls up to intentionally deflate during that time, it's still a violation of the rule. And it would be inconsistent with their statements to the media.
