All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

So, is this Deflategate freakout going to affect the betting line?
Re: So, is this Deflategate freakout going to affect the betting line?
I could care less about the Super Bowl this year. I don't like either team and the fact is the Patriots have a pattern of cheating. Who knows what else they cheated on to get to the Super Bowl. As long as Brady and Bellichick are in that organization you know unethical stuff is going on so if they win it is tainted. If they win in my mind it will never count since we all know they did cheated their way to a championship and doesn't count.
Gee, it seems like I've heard that a few times before this...
This has nothing to do with you.
fact #1 - The Patriots were caught cheating before. They lost a first round draft pick and Bill Belicheat was fined heavily.
fact #2 - There has been evidence reported of 11/12 of the Patriots game balls being 2 pounds less psi than what they were when the refs measured them prior to the games. The Indi balls were fine. Clearly something occurred and someone is responsible.
fact #3 - There has been statistical fumble evidence going back to 2007 that points to the Patriots being so far outlying compared to the mean that an explanation is due. Deflated footballs more than certainly would explain this.
But considering past performance can be used as a predictor of future results... which is pretty much the point from your post above... I refer you back to Fact #1 before you attempt to refute facts #2 and #3.

1. They were "caught" breaking an unfair rule that was put in place by the people that were too stupid to have thought of doing it in the first place. Sorry, but I have 2ERO respect for people that intentionally ignore the context to satisfy their base urges. None.
2. Those are the facts, unfortunately they don't IN ANY WAY prove the Pat's were culpable.
3. This proves nothing other than the Patriots do a better job of holding on to the ball. The argument that "The Pats are SOOOOOO much better at hanging on to the ball that they MUST ber cheating is illogical. Sorry. SOMEONE has to be the best. How being the best proves one MUST be cheating is beyond me...
Really, what you're arguing is that if someone has been guilty of a previous transgression (and we haven't admitted that anyway), then if they're accused of ANOTHER transgression, they MUST be guilty.
Gee, if only American jurisprudence could adopt this attitude, you could save a fortune on court costs.
We could call it the "One strike and you're out forever" law...

1. Your assessment of the rule is irrelevant. The NFL punished them for breaking a rule.
2. I agree that in and of itself doesn't slam dunk it. When put with fact 1 and fact 3... sorry there is more than a preponderance of evidence.
3. intellectually dishonest argument on your part. This is where it becomes difficult even having a conversation with you about this.
and the rest of the crap u put down is just that... Pure crap.
