Quote:As far as the evidence is concerned for that particular game (you know, the only game in NFL history with post-kickoff air pressure measurements) there was no deflation of the footballs (one gauge) or minimal (other gauge). Using footballs that are in spec has been an ongoing problem?


I agree that the franchise has a history of cheating. If that's what you meant by ongoing problem then I agree the Pats have an ongoing cheating problem. But in this particular game the air pressures of the footballs were OK. Maybe they tried to cheat and failed?


I liken this to giving a person a sentence for being arrested for (say) assault a 3rd time, when the person he supposedly assaulted is standing there uninjured. But he had an ongoing history of assault, so therefore he deserves a long prison term after getting probation the first two times?


I'm interested to hear one of our lawyers' take on this.

What are you trying obfuscate the fact they have been deflating their footballs? What are you going on about gauges for?


"Scientific analysis was performed by Exponent and supported by Dr. Daniel Marlow, a professor of Physics at Princeton University. This analysis concluded that within the range of game conditions and circumstances studied, no set of environmental or physical factors could account for the loss of air pressure exhibited by the Patriots game balls. The scientific study supported the report's conclusion that the loss of air pressure may be accounted for by human intervention."


The guy calls himself 'The Deflator,' for crying out loud and has been since May 2014. You think the one game they got caught was the one game they cheated? Statistical analysis shows this has been goin on for at least 6 yrs.


Brady is a cheat. Period. He paid ball guys with signed memorabilia to deflate his footballs to illegal specs to make it easier to throw, catch and reduce fumbles. That's the long and short of it. Don't know what you think you are arguing.
