You may think it's unimportant to follow the rules...and that when you break them they don't apply to you. I'm not like that. If I break the rules, I have no problems dealing with the consequences.

I do believe this was more than a 1 game thing...which will likely be only proven circumstantially. Yet, just like O.J., you look at the evidence...and what we've seen and heard so far just do not look good for the Pats.

We'll see what happens. As I said, I look forward to what the forensics guys find not only for the Indy game...but for previous games as well.

On this we can agree.

Shit the stuff I have screwed up and mistakes I have made, I own it and live with it.

I agree, I think the Patriots are purposeful in making the balls on the very low end of the gauge.

We don't agree on about all else.

Agree. At this point hope Seattle wins a back and forth game. Prove the cheaters can't win.

Because when you get smoked in your own stadium, its snowing, its your house, the patriots only win because of deflated balls. (referencing Bears game from years ago)

Here's the thing. I don't hate the Patriots. I think they are and have been a very good team over the years. I do, however, based on Spygate & Deflategate, liken them to a car race team that will try to do things that old NASCAR people did...find a way to reduce weight or modify the car that skirts the rules. Some people think that's ok, and are willing to risk the penalties to gain that advantage. That's what I believe the Patriots did here, and at some point they will need to pay the penalty. If this was a first offense, I'd expect the penalty to be something similar to what Spygate was (a big fine and a draft pick). Now...if it's proven, I would expect something like what happened to New Orleans (1 year suspension for Belichick).

Anyways, it's been really interesting to hear many of the local sports talk stations on my trip from Seattle to Arizona. I'm currently near Vegas. Pretty much no-one believes Brady.

I'm very curious how you felt after the last time we played you.

The NFL is just another reality competition show, like Survivor. Any pretense it's related to actual sports has long since passed. It's just entertainment and mostly populated by deranged, anti-social, sociopaths who make for good press and bring in the dollars for their football plantation masters.

We played you...in your barn......did you cover the spread that game ?? I don't think so .....we lost by (1). I don't recall the Seahawks in Foxboro at all...that's because the Seahawks were irrelevance .

A loss is still a loss...and I know a LOT of Patriots fans were hoping Green Bay would win so you wouldn't have to play us.

We'll see what happens. Win or lose, Patriots will still be the laughingstock of the NFL because of Deflategate.

Looks like the ballboy took footballs into a bathroom for 90 seconds.

Yep...lone wolf here. I'm sure he acted all on his own. /s

Yes, laughingstock. Right now, EVERYONE but Patriots fans are laughing at the Patriots.
