I'm not a Patriots fan and I'm not saying that they have never cheated, but this ball deflation things seems complete nonsense. Firstly, the Patriots outscored the Colts 28-0 in the second half with properly inflated balls (first half was 17-7). By this math, if the balls were properly inflated for the entire game, the score would've been 56-0! Secondly, the whole uproar appears to have been driven by anecdotal evidence and envy: balls "felt" flat, refs never actually checked the psi to begin with, "Patriots always cheat", etc. I've read/seen several reports now from folks who actually bothered to think about the science of gas pressure and/or do some testing. They seem in agreement that the temp differences on game day could easily have accounted for difference. PESKY FACTS, always getting in the way of what we want to believe!

They're both cheaters but so is probably everyone in the NFL. If you're not cheating you're not trying hard enough. I wish the bears would cheat !!!!!! Seadderall 21. Deflatriots 17
The temp was in the 40's close to 50... With this theory the Packers would always play with dead flat balls in Green Bay What theory explains how it only happened to NE's balls and not Indy's? Brady saying he doesn't know how it happened is like me getting caught with $1,000,000 in marked dollars in my car that were stolen from a bank and me saying "I don't know how it got here. Someone must have put it in my car." I agree it probably made no difference in the outcome, but if it made no difference they would not do it. And what if on the first drive Brady sailed one and it got picked and ran back. Or what if they fumbled (soft ball is definitely easier to grip) and Indy scored. That could change the momentum... Probably wouldn't have happened, but it could.
I'm hoping both teams lose. This is about the most uninteresting Superbowl since the Cowboys handed the Bills their fourth consecutive loss.
Hope those seachickens whoop that ass! So I can laugh when Brady starts to cry and blame everyone else like the tru ***** he is.
Deflategate is a big deal because it generates money on planet NFL. They will talk about it endlessly because it is far more palatable than the rape, domestic violence, and concussion controversies, which could otherwise rear their hideous, truthful heads. It's not the reason the Pats are here. They're a stacked, well built & oiled machine. Their cheating advantages are a small edge. Interestingly enough though, their fumble percentage has disappeared for the last 7 years - how the f*ck does that happen? . I doubt it's because they have some magical fumble-proof gripping technique... This game should be sick. one of the best, dynamic defenses we may ever see, going up against an offensive juggernaut that may very well be the great team of our generation. I want Seattle to win, because they're fun as hell to watch, and because I despise New England, and Tom Brady is a vacuous chimp. If Pat's lose this one, they'll be like the Bills. But the Pats can take this. Seattle wins on picks and fumbles, New England doesent throw picks and fumbles... I hope Seattle has a plan for that, besides Wilson's praying, that is. One things for sure, we're all hoping for a large fire at the halftime show. Maybe this will be MY year. Burn baby burn!

Let's bet a new surfboard that the Patriots won't score 35 pts. I really hope the Seahawks win and I'll go with a final score of 23-19.
