Belichick cheated in the past. Taping other teams was a long standing thing they were doing. They were videotaping the signals from the sideline so that when they saw the signals in the game, they would know what was coming. Cheating, in ANY FORM, makes you a scumbag. The Patriots sticking with Belicheat and not firing him is an act of pure acceptance of Belicheat's scumbag practices and therefore anoints them as a scumbag franchise. Oh, Bill played it off spectacularly in his comments. I accept full responsibility. My interpretation of a rule in the [NFL's] Constitution and Bylaws was incorrect. Really, Bill? You just happened to think that YOU WERE THE ONLY ****ING GUY IN THE LEAGUE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE "LEGAL" OPTION TO ****ING VIDEOTAPE THE OPPOSING TEAM'S HAND SIGNALS?? It NEVER ****ing occurred to you that if it was an acceptable practice, EVERY OTHER ****ING TEAM WOULD BE DOING IT? So this so-called "genius" head coach, HAD NO CLUE that videotaping an opponent's signals was cheating. Sure. Sure Bill. If you aren't cheating, you aren't trying. Then Goodell inexplicably destroyed the tapes. Are you ****ing kidding me? Why the **** would evidence EVER be destroyed? Now, a deflated football didn't give Blount increased vision and cutting ability. It didn't make the Colts overpursue against the run time and again. It didn't make the Colts unable to bring him down quickly. 30 carries, 150 yards, 3 TDs. It didn't make the Colts offense unable to muster up more than a single TD. A deflated ball is not the reason the Colts lost the football game. Its the principle. Its the idea that it is well within the realm of possibility that the Patriots and Belichick would cheat. They push the very limits of what is considered underhanded and what isn't. It would literally surprise NOBODY if it came out that the Patriots were cheating again.

A ball properly inflated inside in a warm place would deflate when taken out into cold weather. See your car tires on a cold day.
Didn't watch the game, so no idea the conditions, nor do I really care.

By the way - I don't even think the NFL is 'looking into this' - give me a break - & if they did; it wouldn't take weeks to study to gain conclusion - Yes this is an isolated dumbass reporter IMO

It won't take weeks to do the study but they can make it take weeks for them to report the findings in that study. Like for instance 2 weeks from today.

"The issue, rather, is the method of acquiring the signals." — not stealing the signals. Otherwise, why do coaches cover their mouths and use other modes to hide their communication? I've read about spies going to other teams' training camps even. In the N.F.L., It’s Not Cheating Until You Start Videotaping |

#1 the patriots were clearly the better team, and football inflation had nothing to do w/ that
#2 am i missing something, that this story is based on one football during the game? there's gotta be more than that, or this is crap. one football out of who knows how many losing some of its air is a manufacturing anomaly, a few of them obviously would require intervention. until i hear of more than one football being seriously questioned, i'm not gonna give one more shit about this. |

The NFL needed a story for the off week to fill some air time.

So don't act as if other teams were unable to get Patriot signals either. In fact, Jay Fieldler admitted the Dolphins did."There were times in games when we knew certain defensive calls from what we were able to gather during the game or our scouts’ eyesight," Fiedler revealed.
