i thought it was BALLGHAZI

anyway, has it been mentioned that Goodell was hanging with Kraft the night before the game?

How many games did the Pats win that they would have lost with their slightly odd pressured balls? The fine was set at 25k. Goodell makes that much with every blink of his evil eye.

However, the Seahawks have already won the Super Bowl. Either they win outright or only lose because they were playing cheaters.

It's not a big deal if it wasn't a pattern.

To Mr. Saigon's comment: Kick ass in the regular season, maybe. Notice they haven't won a superbowl since then, though.

I found this interesting.

When Eli Manning drops back to throw his first pass Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, the football in his hands will be as familiar as an old friend.


Ed Skiba, the Giants’ assistant equipment director, began preparing game balls for Eli Manning at training camp.


That is because the ball has been scoured, scrubbed, soaked and seasoned, a breaking-in process that takes months and ensures that every ball used by the Giants in a game will meet Manning’s exact preferences. The leather will have been softened, the grip enhanced and the overall feel painstakingly assessed.

So the Pats are only good enough to come inches away from winning the SB without spying?

Belichick should be suspended for 1 year, effective immediately. Precedent set by the Sean Payton suspension for bountygate.

Yet that’s exactly what happened Tuesday night, when the National Football League’s official Instagram account posted a photo of 13 airless footballs. “Behind the scenes: Making the Super Bowl XLIX footballs!” read the accompanying caption.

Nation can't wait to hear Patriots fans' excuses this time

I don't care on iota who wins. I will be rooting again like I always do for an absolute blowout. I want someone to win by 30, 40, or more. I want one of the teams to be embarrassed. I don't care who. Last year's Super Bowl was my favorite in a long, long time.
