4. "RE: It was a catch!" |
LAST EDITED ON 01-20-15 AT 05:59 PM (EST)Hobbs is a Lions fan, so... CJ = Calvin Johnson. His non-touchdown against the Bears was the first high-profile outrage over this same rule when it was set up back in about 2010. As bad as the non-TD was for Bryant's play, the Johnson non-TD was worse - both feet touched the ground four times in total plus his hand and butt with the ball completely in control until after he turned over, hit it on the ground and dropped it on his way up to celebrate what should have been a come-from-behind, game-winning TD. Yes, the rule was 'correctly applied' but it's a horrible rule that needs to be turfed ASAP. ETA: video here.

5. "RE: It was a catch!" |
Calvin Johnson. Of course.Yeah, I thought the Lions were robbed. I still think there's a valid argument against the 'correctly applied' part of that in both cases, I think had the calls been reversed in both cases (OK, there would never have been the second case if the first had been reversed, but let’s just ignore that for a moment) there would have been wide spread agreement that the calls were correct. I think 99% of the people who watched expected the calls to go to the receivers. Each decision was still just NFL’s ‘interpretation’ of its going-to-the-ground rule which is ambiguous at best. But they were consistant, and there is poetic symmetry in it as far as Dallas is concerned.

6. "Deflategate" |
Seems the NFL has found that 11 of the 12 game balls used in the NE-Indy game were under-inflated.If it were any other team, I'd laugh it off as being sour grapes - and even so, under most circumstances I'd shrug it off as well, except for this little tidbit: Tom Brady has talked in the past about how much he likes under-inflated balls. The money quote: "When Gronk scores -- it was like his eighth touchdown of the year -- he spikes the ball and he deflates the ball. I love that, because I like the deflated ball. But I feel bad for that football, because he puts everything he can into those spikes." http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24980832/tom-brady-in-2011-i-like-deflated-footballs Knowing how anal-retentive the NFL is about their rules, I'd expect some heavy penalties (fines, loss of draft pick(s), tarring and feathering of Bob Kraft in the town square, etc.) but Belichick and the players will just laugh it off as they're in the Super Bowl and the Colts were going to get pounded anyway whether the ball was inflated or not.

13. "RE: Liar." |
I'll be interested in what Brady has to say about this.
I'm also interested in Bullzeye's take on things too

18. "The events so far..." |
1. 11 of 12 balls used in the Conference Championship game between the Colts and the Patriots are found by the NFL to be underinflated and below permissible pressure. 2. Belichick holds a press conference and denies that he knew that footballs had air in them. He apparently just learned that that morning. 3. Brady also holds a press conference and also denies knowing. Anything. Where he lives, what air is, that there are two 'O's in football, anything. 4. Belichick holds second presser, and is suddenly an expert on how god, humidity, and the atmospheric pressure affects every 11 out of 12 footballs provided by the New England Patriots. 5. Gronk details how how his spiking of the football was the cause of the deflation. So far, this is the most believable explaination given by the Patriots. And his nickname is Gronk, son of Bluto. Enough said? 6. The NFL finds that the officials checked the balls before the game and that 12 of 12 footballs supplied by the Patriots were legally inflated then. 7. The NFL finds that 11 out of 12 balls supplied by the Patriots somehow became underinflated for the first half, but became legally inflated for the second half. 8. Somehow god, humidity, and the atmosphere affected only 11 out of 12 regular game balls supplied by the Patriots, not the balls from both teams used for kicking which were all legal before, during, and after the game. Maybe god spares kicking balls, for which I would be vaguely grateful. 9. A preview of Belichick's next presser reveals that he thinks that Aaron Hernandez probably murdered 1 1/2 psi of pressure in 11 of 12 regular game balls used in the first half. 10. The NFL finds that the balls supplied by the Colts were were all legal before during and after the game, and are also apparently immune to atmospheric tampering by god. 11. The legal community has declared this case to be the legal precedent defining the Slam Dunk level of circumstantial evidence. With this kind of evidence agaist them, an accused is automatically declared guilty, no jury necessary, and that those cases should automatically go to the penalty phase, maximum penalty recommended. Spoiler alert: This is Sony and Seth Rogan's latest breakthrough advertising ploy to drive up Super Bowl ad revenues.

I think they should Ban both Brady and Bellicheat from the game. They shouldn't even let them be on the sidelines.

As of last night, Brady still claims no one from the league has even interviewed him, so I think we can safely assume Goodell won't officially finish ignoring this until after the Super Bowl.

27. "Never Their Fault" |
ESPN is reporting that the NFL is now focusing the investigation on a Patriots employee who appears to have taken the footballs off their standard path.Within minutes of this story breaking, a Patriots fan called in to a local sports talk station and told the host about how he had a friend who knew someone who worked for the Panthers who'd told everyone that said Patriots employee was a disgruntled former Jets employee who'd been paid off by Jim Harbaugh to make the Patriots look like they were cheating. If Hoodie had stepped up to the podium and confessed full personal responsibility, there would be Patriots fans currently claiming that event as proof that telepathy is real and their coach was being mind-controlled.

Sounds like an overinflated story with an underinflated probability of being true.
Someone is trying to let the air out of "inflategate"

30. "Of course..." |
It's all clear now. That sneaky locker room attendant did it. With no help, orders, or even suggestions from anyone, he just divined that Brady liked his balls underinflated (pun viciously intended). Someone obviously walked in on him before he could get that 12th ball deflated. Then, to cover up his scheme, he re-inflated them at halftime so that nobody would know. He probably didn’t count on the fact that the officials check Brady’s balls (again, intended) before the game, at the half, and again after the game. After all who could have predicted that? Just because it’s done like that for every NFL game? Who would have guessed? And why didn’t this occur to us before? Those NFL guys are regular Sam Spades, nobody pulls the wool over their eyes.

33. "The blame game. " |
I did it. I snuck into the Pat's football storage room before the Patriots/Colts game and stole about 1-1/2 psig from each of 11 game footballs. You see, these days there isn't much work on the reef, times being what they are, with the Barracuda Mafia controlling the tidal pool unions and the Great Whites policing the drop off. If you ain't a dues paying Union member, you only get the crumbs that fall out of their mouths. The only work available to us is to nibble at fisherman’s baits. That’s our job these days, bait nibbling. It's a living if you don't need much to live on. But I have a nephew who is pretty bad off. He had an ick shot but apparently the it wasn't all that effective this year, and he got the ick anyway. It got into his float bladder, and now all he can do is float around upside down. If the Barracuda Union enforcers hear of this, it's the big flush for him. So I stole some air. I did it. I couldn't live knowing I didn't do all I could do to help poor little Barney (Barnacle Ichabod Fry Jr.). All he needed was 15 psig to float upright and avoid the big flush. So I did it, I stole some air, I got a couple psi extra just in case. And I'm probably going to be gutted and filleted for it, but I don't care and I’m not sorry. I did it. I stole them psi’s. (and Damon, Affleck, Tyler, and Kimmel are all a bunch of talentless putzes!) http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/story/2015-01-30/matt-damon-ben-affleck-steven-tyler-new-england-patriots-deflate-gate-jimmy-kimmel
