Re: Why? New England Patriots

The Patriots hands have not been clean in the past. I don't know what will happen. They will probably do nothing. All those ads that were paid have got to be shown. I think the show will go on. Hope the Patriots lose....

Being this is the second time they have been caught cheating, my feelings are they should not be able to play in the super bowl or maybe the coach should be fired immediately. How very sick that they have to cheat to win. When students are caught cheating in school they are usually expelled. I don't see how anyone could ever cheer for them. They should be ashamed to walk out on the field to play the Super Bowl. I hope they aren't given something like a $20,000.00 fine. WHAT LESSON DOES THAT TEACH? CHEATERS MUST BE SERIOUSLY PUNISHED, ESPECIALLY THE SECOND TIME CAUGHT!!!!!!!!!!!

It has been confirmed that 11 of the 12 balls were indeed under inflated.

The refs check them all out at the beginning of the game. The balls are returned then back to their own team. Correct...teams do not share game balls. It was after the pre-game inspection that the Patriots altered their game balls, deflating them to make it easier to handle and easier to catch. Brady previously publicly stated he prefers under inflated balls. The clip is all over the news.

One ball was indeed thrown out during the game by a ref for being under inflated. He should have investigated further.

It was caught when the Colts intercepted Brady. The guy noticed right away the ball wasn't right. He brought it to the attention of his team's coaches and staff.

Caught red handed. It was a stupid thing to do. They would have won anyways...so OP is right! WHY???

It TOTALLY undermines the integrity of the game.

If the NFL is going to suspended the Saints Coach for a full year for what his assistant did, they sure better do at LEAST the same to Belichek. The NFL is cracking down big time on moral issues (Peterson, Rice)

This ALSO IS A MAJOR MORAL ISSUE.

It really would be great if the Patriots were disqualified. I get so sick of the local media going on and on about them. Time to end the season--NOW!

Maybe that's why the NY Giants beat them in the Superbowl a few years ago even though they were 18-0 ?? Can you guess NY Giants is my team ?!

I'll wait for the results of the investigation, it's hard to believe they would resort to such a ridiculous move when they have a history of shenanigans. They wouldn't have anything to gain from it. I wonder why the refs didn't spot it when they are supposed to inspect the balls before the game. Time will tell but one thing is for certain, they didn't win that game and win it as decisively as they did because the balls were underinflated.

Maybe not that game, but I wonder about the previous game with the Ravens.

my thoughts exactly!!! we played a flawless game, with the exception of one interception. ridiculous...brady is a crybaby and billycheat is too. i am a die hard ravens fan but GO SEAHAWKS!
