Ski caps, like ski masks, are prima facie evidence of guilt.

Jay Glazer reported the league may have video of a Patriots locker room attendant deflating footballs.


And I'm going to guess that guy is getting hooked up with whichever of Gisele's friends has the most daddy issues.

They found their fall guy. If this guy "comes clean" and says he went rouge...[expletive]. No way some equipment guy does this without coach/QB knowledge.

Much like the Nature Boy, this equipment manager will be well compensated.

Just like Goodell never saw that Ray Rice tape. I used to marvel how wealthy, successful entities always got such seemingly terrible PR advice, but it turns out they know more than I do. It's not about coming clean or admitting wrong or regaining trust, it's about getting people to talk about something else as soon as possible and it all just fades away.

This story still has legs though. I thought it would have died over the weekend. It was something to talk about the week before the week before the Super Bowl, but here we are the week of the Super Bowl and it is still going strong with new information coming out.

Sherman: Pats won't be punished

"Will they be punished? Probably not," Sherman said. "Not as long as Robert Kraft and Roger Goodell are still taking pictures at their respective homes. You talk about conflict of interest. As long as that happens, it won't affect them at all. Nothing will stop them."

I didn't listen to Belichick but the two most famous science guys in this country both weighed in and said he was off base. They were both incorrect in one way or another.
I'm not saying the Pats didn't cheat btw.

The clip I saw, Science Guy was just plain wrong.

What was he wrong about? He said he didn't think rubbing the football would explain the change in ball pressure.

Not that Richard Sherman is wrong, but he's turning into Curt Schilling.

Sometimes silence is OK, Richard.

What I heard him say was that the only way to change the pressure was with the needle. From the link above.

PHOENIX -- Patriots owner Robert Kraft made a surprise appearance at the team's opening news conference of Super Bowl XLIX on Monday, saying the NFL owed them an apology if its investigation over deflated footballs doesn't uncover wrongdoing.

"If the Wells investigation is not able to definitively determine that our organization tampered with the air pressure on the footballs, I would expect and hope that the league would apologize to our entire team, and in particular, coach [Bill] Belichick and Tom Brady for what they have had to endure this past week," Kraft said, referring to attorney Ted Wells, who is leading the investigation with NFL executive vice president Jeff Pash.

The blizzard hit Boston but not NY or Philadelphia. That should give pause to anyone sympathetic to the Patriots.
