could deflate gate affect our opener?

A lot of Pats fans are saying that Aaron Rodgers has to be labeled a cheater as well because he has said that he likes the balls to be over inflated. Is that actually true? I do remember him saying something like he likes for them to have more air or something but I just took it that he meant he wanted them legally maxed out. Does anyone know if he has actually called for the balls to be over inflated?

 

From what I remember reading, he said that he likes them over inflated. And in typical Boston Homerism fashion, the Chowder Heads have taken it to mean that he over inflates the balls.

More recently I've heard the claim that he does over inflate them and hopes that the refs don't catch it. Again in true Boston Homerism fashion, the Chowder Heads fail to realize the difference between over/under inflating and hoping to slip it past the refs, and releasing air after the PSI has been verified by the refs.

I swear from listening to talk radio and reading the articles and comments on Boston dot com, the residents six New England states live in a parallel universe. A bizzaro world. They're the only ones in the entire country who see things differently. It's homerism to the infinity power.

 

And just when you think all is dim in the north east.....

Mr. Andrade must be a transplant from another part of the country.

BTW, I've created an account with Boston.com so I can chime in. So if you see the moniker "Hugh-G-Rection" please note that it is none other than yours truly.

 

The way Rogers likes to squeeze his balls has NOTHING to do with the way Brady squeezes his.

Actually, going by the texts of the Wells report, Brady prefers for McNally to squeeze his. I wonder what Jizzelle thinks of that?

 

And the first homer responds talk about delusional. I have half a mind to join the site just to respond to his apparent lack of understanding. They haven't proved the balls didn't meet the standard? There is no evidence that they were tampered with. wow

 

I am seriously fascinated by how out of touch with reality that every. single. Pats fan. is. I'm telling you it's damn near 100%. Steelers fans were much more open minded during the BR saga. A lot.

In fairness I've tried to look at it from their side. I've tried to use their arguments to justify why Im wrong in believing that Brady and the Pats are not getting a raw deal and they just don't hold water.

About the only thing that I will say is that Brady at 4 games is probably a bit too much, but I full expect that to get reduced to 2. That's fair. As far as the organization, thats spot on. Past transgression(s) are definitley factored in as they should be. It's the way the penal system works in this country. I get caught shoplifting once...slap on the wrist. I get caught again 5 years laters....little bigger penalty. I get caught a thrid time, its obvious that I haven't learned. That organization hasn't learned or just doesn't care. If Spygate is already on your record, then your house has to be in order.

And if you sign up, may I suggest the name "E. Norma Stits." That was the other one I was going to use. Im not there to troll, just to inject a few ancedotes when necessary.

 

A liar, murderer and a cheater walk into a bar.


The Patriots must be in town.

 

I'd sign up to that board but, as Ron White said, "You can't fix stupid", so I'll leave them alone in their ignorance. I would have used the name Stu Pidaso.

 

How about Dick Beninya?

 

I like that they are now widening the scope of their stupidity. Well Walt Anderson couldn't remember what gauge he used to measure the PSI. Wait is there a gauge that says its ok to sneak into a bathroom after the balls have been certified and let the air out of them? Lets use that gauge instead. My favorite is the "everyone does it excuse" everyone cheats they are punishing us because they are jealous. Um sorry but no not everyone cheats and when you get caught doing it pointing at others and going but they do it too doesn't mean that you didn't.

 

A. J. Feeley: Former NFL Quarterback Says Tom Brady Used Broken-In Balls in 2004 Game

 

Good I hope more and more players start talking. Also one of the "deflator" guys was also caught and warned about submitting practice balls into a game. **** just keeps getting deeper....

 

Then there is this gem from the replies...


I would argue further that the "repeat offender" charge is 99% bogus. Because if anything has ever been more ludicrous than deflategate, it is spygate. I think Kraft should push this thing every which way to get spygate and deflategate cleaned up. It is ironic that the team with perhaps the most integrity in the league is stuck with this crazy reputation. Kraft let Spygate pass for the good of the league. He should fight this all the way back to Spygate and clear the name of his organization.






WOW. They really do live in a parallel universe up there, don't they? "The most integrity in the league?" Not to ANYONE outside of the New England states.

And just when you thought that their arrogance couldn't be any greater, that they couldn't be anymore disconnected with reality, theres the next line....."Kraft let Spygate pass for the good of the league"

There are no words for this. Only TTF's GIF of the guy who wants to speak and just stops could sum this up accurately.

They are most delusional, out of touch, crazy ass nitwits that I've ever seen.

 

See, this isn't good. This is 11 year old ancient stuff thats never been brought up until now. This is really just piling on.

 

Absolutely, hard to argue with idiots

 

It's not piling on. It's stuff coming to light. AJ was in no position to make accusations like this before. Now he has the room to do so.

I hope if anyone else knows about him cheating, they'll come forward too. No one gets the "Oh don't tell anyone about that because he's had enough" treatment from me.

 

The delusional fans are now posting the address of Roger Goodells summer home in Maine and urging people to go 'visit' him.

They're getting nuttier by the second.

 

Every team's fans thinks they have the most integrity in the league, barring perhaps the Raiders, who kind of have a thing about being the opposite. A partisan fan is going to defend their team from a report that isn't a legal document, so doesn't assert 'conclusive proof' etc. So I'm not surprised to see some of their responses.

But at the same time, the lengths to which some of these guys are going is proper kettle logic. We didn't cheat, the refs didn't notice it so it can't be cheating, and even if they did notice it everyone in the league does it anyway...

 

Everyone speeds too, but you get fined when you get caught, quite a few people cheat on their income taxes but you know if you get caught your going to be audited and face the penalties, so this everyone does it has little to do with when you get caught.............
