All things off season 2015.

^ This. Seriously, the score was 45-7 people. Does anyone really think that the difference between 11.70 psi v. 12.50 psi made any difference? A classic example where the cover-up is worse than the crime. Were people in the Patriots orgzanization untruthful about it? It sure seems that way. But it's insane to thinnk that this compromised the integrity of the game in any meaningful way. Resources would be better spent on dealing with PEDs or other things that relate to player safety or otherwise do affect outcomes.

Separately, anyone else see this? Ex-Redskins TE Fred Davis reinstated from suspension - NFL.com (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000491683/article/exredskins-te-fred-davis-reinstated-from-suspension)

I suspect the Cowboys are already in negotiations with him.

On Brady Its the lying part that bothers me..i can tell you this if the redskins do this they get hammered. as far as cowboys getting Collins I thought the Skins should have gambled and drafted him in the 3rd..call me crazy but unless Jones is a very good RB what would we have lost?..we could have really been set at o line ..

Brady's in the wrong. I'm not denying that. What I'm saying is just because a rule is broken doesn't mean it compromised the outcome of a game. I just don't believe that a ball that was barely underinflated determined the outcome. I understand rules were broken and he probably lied. I just don't care and the media is on this like flies on shit. They won the SB with normal inflated balls.

I have never said they didnt win the SB with the right balls. I am also not in the camp that Brady should be suspended the whole year or that he no longer deserves to be in the HOF. He did cheat however, and should face some punishment. To me, a game suspension sounds right, and the pats losing a draft pick or two, something similar to what the falcons lost. But to say its only breaking a rule if Indy plays well is laughable. How the other team played is irrelevant to whether they cheated.

I have had the opinion and I still do....
Why does the NFL care what the opposition does with it's Footballs? Allow all offenses to do what they want with their balls. All teams have the same opportunity. More air....less air....nitrogen...helium...whatev's. The same opportunity will exist for all and those that are more clever may gain a competitive advantage.
And now undoubtedly the NFL will overreact and hire a team of 32 guys to watch their balls. A Brinks team of guards will have to account for.....escort.....watch safeguard, said balls.
Why?

Integrity of the game. You can't have teams messing with the balls. Where do you draw the line after that? Let the teams modify their equipment too? You set a standard and enforce it. The league should have been monitoring the balls years ago. Dumb that it even got to this point.

Try it out in preseason...see how it goes. Apparently Brady likes lower pressure, manning likes more than the league allows...let em'. They're apparently doing it anyway...Panthers Vikes heating balls during the game
It will now become an expensive albatross to be enforced by an army of BS..

He's a cheater, Belichick's a cheater. They're good, but cheaters. Deserve the maximum punishment allowed. Hope he gets screwed up from OVERinflated balls for the rest of his career.

Just saying, you cheat you don't deserve the Super Bowl trophy. I don't care if it didn't affect the game.

FWIW
Apparently according to the report, Both BB and the team were found in no way to be.....complicit

they probably did cheat. just seems like the MO, and it's not like this is the first or second time these guys have been caught doing something shady. how much of an advantage did it give them? who knows. probably not as much as taping jets practices or whatnot. Not really too broken up or concerned about it, even though maybe I should be? I guess the Pats are going to end up with a league sanctioned inflation monitor now, which would honestly be pretty funny.

sad the boys got collins. that's a good player i would have liked to have (talent wise at least). we could have spent a 7th to secure his rights and make sure no one else could sign him.

still a bit of a bad precedent to skip the draft and then immediately sign a (presumably) big money contract relative to to everyone else that waited in line for their turn.

I don't understand why Collins didn't he come out and say he was 100% not guilty. He left the draft. He should have held a press conference right there and said 100% not guilty. It almost made him look suspicious by not saying anything and leaving the draft. This cost him a ton of dough.
