Patriots do it again!

[Garandman]

BTW I hope the Patriots stay after this Deflategate saga. The latest word before the game was that only one of the 12 balls was actually underinflated by any significant amount. The narrative I heard was that Colts owner Irsay complained to the league. Such "handbook" as opposed to "rulebook" disputes are usually handled privately, for example earlier in the season when teams were heating balls on the sidelines.

But Irsay leaked it to a reporter. Now Kraft and the Patriots are intent on ramming it down their throats.

I have a Wilson NFL ball. I inflated it to 10.5 lbs (two lbs under) and handed it around to people and asked them if they thought it was overinflated, underinflated, or just right. If you squeeze it hard you can barely push your thumb into it. Most people guess it was in spec or over. The fact that the Patriots went 28-0 in the second half with balls actually checked should prove a point.....

BTW Belichick is known to take a page from Bill Parcells and make the team practice with "abused" balls. They will spray them with water, throw them in a snowbank - anything that could possibly happen in a game, so the players are ready for it.

Hated to see the deflategate cheaters win. The whole Seahawk's coaching staff should be immediately fired for the stupidest play on NFL history! :confused2:

Well I guess we had to have at least one air pressure comment. I just wonder, let see, those refs that were doing the game were veterans right? They handled those balls how many times?
No one noticed anything?

Bottom line as I always say..Check the Box-does it meet the criteria or does it not? You would have to conclude that with 11 of 12 balls below pressure, it did NOT meet the criteria. So what is it? A case of murder or a parking infraction?

Looking at that game score, and given fact the refs had their mitts on those balls throughout the game, looks like a pisshole in the snow to me.

In any case great game with two great teams and it was one of those that it was going to be too bad that someone had to loose.

Oh as for the dumbest play call, likewise my immediate reaction- I did hear however that Lynch in his goal line performance was something like 20% effective. Anyone else hear that?

One teams mistake is another teams victory , Brady made a couple big ones but he and the team never gave up . Both teams played a great game . Congratulations Patriots

I guess this one got banned?

I really tried to talk my wife out of starring in that video. She's just a little stubborn sometimes.

I thought the first draft commercial was great. Noah drafting all the stuff. 3 announcers broadcasting and commenting. Sloth. Dodo bird pick. The polar bear wearing the sombrero trying to get Mexico to draft him. Great stuff.

But I am in the minority as it was only #20 in the USA Today poll.

I guess you can't beat a cute puppy and protective horses.

Yeah, I liked that commercial also. One of them I got a kick out of was the Fiat commercial with the little Blue pill.

Just a bunch of big rich kids playing with a ball.

Second half belonged to the Seahawks but being a Pats fan, the best team won.

Huh? I'm wondering if we watched the same game.

The Patriots came back from a 10 point deficit against what some claim to be one of the greatest defenses of all time and outscored the Seahawks 14-0 in the 4th quarter.

The Patriots put themselves in position to win.

All I can say is WOW. What was the Seahawk's coaching staff thinking? One of the best running backs in the league and you pass on the 1 yard line on 2nd down? The Pat's didn't win, this game was given to them. Someone should lose their job over that blunder. The amazing catch that got them there and then a stupid move like this.

The Pats didn't win it and it was given to them? Way to be objective.

4 TD throws and coming back from being 10 points down and they were given the game. Crazy!

I guess this one got banned? Carl's Junior and GoDaddy both have put out ads that were designed to be banned from tv, and thus becoming viral hits. This one has nearly 7 million web hits.

I believe the Carl's Jr ad only played on the west coast, where their stores are.

GoDaddy pulled their ad after it got such a bad reception on the Internet.

 

[phiferpharm]

The GoDaddy ad was aired early on the Today show and was slammed big time immediately. The comment was made that it was an ad intended to be controversial. I guess they get more name recognition that way.
