Rick N. Backer Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 My name is Earle, you are in for a bad night then try some honey and sweeten up things. Hahaha! I hope you are horrible in predictions!! Signed, Winnie The PoohWell, one thing we know for certain is that, if the Patriots do manage to win, their fans will react with the same class and grace their favorite organization is known for. Maybe they'll even demand apologies from all the fans that picked against them. How rich. This reminds me of a great scene from the movie School Ties. The headmaster of a prep school is being somewhat condescending to a Jewish student who the school has only accepted because he is a good football player. Quoting the Bible, the headmaster says "I seem to recall something about the meek inheriting the Earth" when the student isn't as deferential to him as the headmaster would like him to be (the headmaster asks him if it was worth breaking a tradition, a religious one, for a football game, to which the student responds "Yours or mine" referring to a tradition of excluding Jews from the school). "And I wonder how meek they'll be when they do."Maybe I'm obtuse, but I've read this three times and I'm not sure what it has to do with this conversation. You've been the headmaster for the last couple of weeks, ridiculing the Patriots for the last few weeks with this ludicrous "Deflategate." We're the student, being told to temper our response if we're vindicated today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtually everyone thinks that Brady is not being truthful and there are likely more people than not who think the same thing about Belichick. These are control freaks who know every nuance of the rules regarding who is and isn't an eligible receiver and when they are or aren't but they haven't spent two seconds thinking about the ball, even though Brady was one of the two main people that lobbied for the ridiculous rule that is in place now? Besides, it's not like the arrogance and ends justifies the means nature of Patriot fans began the day of the AFC Championship Game, many people associated with the Patriots are gloating over the snowplow incident; the damned thing is hanging in the rafters of their stadium. I'm also not sure why some of the balls apparently only being slightly lower in pressure than the rules constitutes vindication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vindication will be if the Patriots, whose balls will probably be examined by a forensic team today, win, even though the inference since 2007 has been that the Patriots can't win without cheating.

This is from the article you quoted: Eleven of the 12 footballs used in the first half were judged by the officials to be under the minimum of 12.5 PSI, but just one was two pounds under. Many of them were just a few ticks under the minimum. That's different than 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is so small between teams at the upper echelon of the sport and the variance of the outcomes are so great that to say that they definitively can't win without cheating would be a difficult statement to support. You may have noticed that I wasn't critical of their efforts to confuse the Ravens defense with their unique use of eligible and ineligible receivers because that was within the rules. They do whatever they can within the rules to win and I'm not going to say anything about it (though the rule gives an unfair advantage to the offense it's still a rule). It's when they go beyond the rules and claim ignorance that it's a problem. And as any parent knows, whether or not everyone else does it is not a defense.
