I suspect that the Patriots knew they were reducing the air pressure in the footballs. A QB knows how a football should feel. Using an under-inflated football gave Brady an edge.
is anyone surprised that the NFL is now 'implying' that the refs may not have 'properly' checked the PSI before the game ...
Until recently, Snyder & Allen have made a lot of really bad decisions - nobody with any sense believes this franchise will get better under their guidance Snyder's W/L record = 45% (80-96) - Snyder/Allen = 41% (59-84-1)
^^ Huh??? I blame the media because the NFL has yet to comment...no one from the NFL has said or confrimed the footballs were deflated. Man I couldn't follow a game that I felt was fixed, pre-determined or corrupt like you do. BTW don't you think it would be in the NFL's best interest to see the Cowboys win more because of the way they move the needle? Or is it all legit when the Cowboys win??

No, not me. I've posted as much in this thread. I've quoted a long-time ball boy who attested to as much.
As for the "Duh" from someone else, DEFLATION, i.e., releasing air by the Pats is not confirmed. Only low psi during the 1st half has been confirmed. The difference between these two is enormous and is the crux of the matter.

Does the media really need to hold up a sign proclaiming the Patriots guilt in this matter
it's easy for me ... if the result favors the pukes I think the other team lost the game ... if the pukes lose then it's even better
the giants are even worse though

OK I'll play
I would say....if you did a over/under their is more favoritism towards? the team in question actually not performing where as the other team over achieved
The report is out, and it looks like Tom Brady is guilty. I'm guessing a fine will be the only punishment, but there really should be a suspension. Time to show some balls, Goodell.

Video evidence from pregame of AFC Championship shows McNally detouring to bathroom with two bags of game balls after taking them from officials' dressing room. He remained in bathroom for 1 minute, 40 seconds and then took both bags to field.
McNally took two bags of game balls from Officials Locker Room before start of AFC Championship without receiving permission of referee Walt Anderson. Anderson says that had never happened before in his career.
McNally was interviewed by NFL Security after AFC Championship Game. During that interview he never mentioned taking balls into bathroom. Initially, he stated he walked directly to field.
McNally claimed he stopped in the restroom and used a urinal. Indicated he has used that bathroom near the field entrance while in possession of the game balls "many times." That bathroom has no urinal.

if he's a cheat, kick him out of the game - if you can't prove that he's a cheat then you can't do much about it ..

"It is more probable than not that Tom Brady (the quarterback for the Patriots) was at least generally aware of the inappropriate activities of McNally and Jastremski involving the release of air from Patriots game balls."

This is the most vague horse s*** I've ever seen.
I'm sure Brady was aware that the balls were underinflated. A QB with his experience will know right away when he picks up a ball & squeezes it what the pressure is.

As far as we are aware, there is no comparable data available from any other game because, in the history of the NFL, psi levels of footballs have never been measured at halftime, in any climate. If they had been, based on what we now know, it is safe to assume that every cold-weather game was played with under inflated footballs.

Actually, in the article I linked to, they made a point of saying that all four of the Colts' footballs that were tested were properly inflated.

Simple fact is, the Patriots are an awesome program... and it pisses everyone else off... pisses me off, too... but the fact is, this is all NOTHING but spew.
