Max997 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 How did the refs who handle the ball every play not notice they were deflated? Are they that clueless or did they simply ignore what should hv been obvious to all of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papazoid Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 if true....11 of 12 under inflated balls by 2 psi (16% difference) is very damning. pretty simple fix. league provides balls and league personnel supervise balls at all times. Pats lose first & second round picks in 2015 & 2016. Salary cap reduced by 16% this is a very big deal.....i'm expecting unprecedented penalties.

Prickly Pete Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yes, everyone hates the Pats and it's a conspiracy. ESPN can't stand the Patriots. I didn't allude to anything like that, I hate the Pats, and know full well they get the benefit of many calls. I only stated that Jerry Rice doesn't want the Pats to be held higher than his 49ers. YOu think that's not true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
