Tom Brady And The Patriots Are INNOCENT!

Do you say anything before thinking?

And it's not unproven that a ball with less air in it is easier to grip when it's wet -- that's called common sense -- it's easier to catch in that situation too (obviously).

The Patriots are the ones who put the air in the balls (no one else) -- they knew what they were doing and Tom Brady was part of it. If he wasn't part of it, why would he not have asked for more air to be put in the balls, to play with them how he wanted? The guy throws a football for a living, any change in it, he's going to know instantly when he picks it up -- and if something wasn't how he wanted and someone on the team tampered with it -- he would have been furious.

No one is going to do anything on the New England team, to the footballs, without Brady's knowledge.

Former QB Troy Aikman: "It's obvious that Tom Brady had something to do with this...each team brings their footballs the way they like them and break 'em in. Used to you couldn't break them in. So for the balls to be deflated, that doesn't happen unless the quarterback wants that to happen, I can assure you of that."

Former QB Mark Brunell: "I did not believe what Tom had to say. Those balls were deflated. Somebody had to do it. I don't believe there's an equipment manager in the NFL that would, on his own initiative, deflate a ball without the starting QB's approval ... That football is our livelihood. If you don't feel good about throwing that ball? Your success on the football field can suffer from that."

Former RB Jerome Bettis: "I'm so disappointed, because I thought this was a perfect opportunity for Tom Brady to go and say 'You know what? I made a mistake. I blew it. It's on me. I'll take the blame here, and this will go away.' He didn't do that ... I'm disappointed in you Tom Brady."

Former safety Brian Dawkins: "This is unbelievable. For you not to know what you touch every play? ... The equipment manager is being thrown under the bus now. Now he's the guy. Now he's the one responsible. He took it upon himself to doctor up the balls when nobody else knew about it? That?s hard (to believe)."

Btw, the Patriots are my favorite team, but I don't become consciously delusional like so many of you in situations like this.

more science, for those who can have an open mind here.

A ball exposed to 10-degree temperatures for an hour, the pressure drops from 13.5 PSI to 11 PSI

for anyone with an open mind, there in nothing obvious to assume here.

100% conjecture.

so yes, you are simply going with what the media tells you to think.

Explain why there was no affect on the Colt's footballs, Mr. Science?

and not get butthurt because someone else has a different view and is open to the possible explanations.

What the media tells us?

They are former football players. Find one former football player, who has said anything different in the past week. The only one's who believe Brady knew nothing about those, are people lack a tad bit of common sense.

Answer this question. If the balls were tampered with, or not what Brady wanted -- WHY did he not ask to have them checked and have more air put in them. Give a simple explanation for that, I'm interested in hearing it.

can you read? I just stated a question asking if the Colts' balls were measured. I.e., they fucking weren't measured so you have no fucking way to compare. so you are making up even more bullshit by claiming the Colts' balls were not effected. jesus fucking christ.

if that's science to you, step away from this convo, you're over your head.'

You're the one who started this debate between us -- because you didn't like my point of view. It wasn't the other way around. Get confused much?

dan Marino:
the last thing you're thinking about as a quarterback when you get to the line of scrimmage is, 'I wonder if this football is to 2 psi lighter?'


Since you are obviously NOT a football fan, you've prolly never heard of those guys. Briefly, they are hall of fame NFL quarterbacks. google them to brush up.

If they weren't measured, there would be no discussion about this. It's as simple as that. The league isn't going to come down on one team, without checking out what the other team's balls were as well.

I'm over my head? Answer my question there bud...

you do realize no one had to alter the pressure right?

If you can't tell that you can grip a ball better, that's deflated less, there's an issue somewhere
