    We didn't cheat...how many scientists have to come forward to back us up????? So SICK of this BS!!!!!!! #GOPATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Suspend brady and belicheat - fine the team owner and do it before the SB.
    Otherwise the NFL is a joke. They want to fine Lynch for not talking to the media but they will let a franchise blatantly cheat to win? One is about non conformity and the other is about lack of integrity, lack of moral discipline, lack of character...the things the NFL hangs its pointy hat on lol

    BEST PRESS CONFERENCE EVER!! F U to the media and all the haters!

  • Fan12 - 9 years ago

    They are not going to be banned from football...WTF Get a clue... Silence to the Haters.

    For all those that don't understand.. The balls were not replaced at half time..each team only bring 12. They took some out of play for testing..

    Wait till Super Bowel is played (Its really hard to argue that the outcome of the championship game was affected.) and then fine the owner 5 million dollars for allowing the culture of cheating to continue under his watch. After that he will handle things internally with coach and quarterback and any others involved. Its a big fine but the NFL has to guard against devolving into something like pro wrestling. Taking away draft picks hurts the Pats fans the most and they were not the culprits.

    Everyone who says let Ravens/ Colts play in Sper Bowl, must all be Seattle fans who don't wanna play the best team. Fu** off Haters! #GoPats

    Do what they did to Sean Peyton and the Saints organization.

    I think there should be a 500k fine. Belichick should be suspended for one season. The NFL suspended Payton for a season and that was a he said, she said thing, with no real proof. the Pats were caught cheating. Brady should also be suspended. NFL fines Lynch for not talking to the media, grabbing his crotch, and threatened him with a suspension of the Super Bowl if he whore gold cleats. So I think this needs a big time punishment.

    Bellacheat should be immediately fired and permanently banned from the NFL! Pete Rose was banned from MLB for GAMBLING! There should be NO TOLERANCE for cheating in the NFL! It's not like they don't know the rules, therefore it was intentional, and anyone who doesn't agree is a moron!

  • Fan12 - 9 years ago

    That is ridiculous and never going to happen. They said they didn't know about it...move on. Balls aside, we crushed the Colts and they even admitted it. Sour grapes.

    I would suspend Belichek for the 2015 season. Forfeit going to the Super Bowl. Give up their 2015 1st round draft picks. Give the team a fine. Brady should have felt the balls were soft when throwing them. This is the second time they ve cheated so that's why so stiff a penalty. They have given out stiffer penalties to players for drinking and abuse ! What the hay! Play Fair!!!!

    #They hate us 'cause they ain't us!! Holla!!

    Any where else, a team or a person, is found cheating, they are disqualified. How come this does not apply to the NFL? The news this past season has centered around "cleaning up the NFL". WHEN DOES THAT START TO APPLY? Does not matter who you are in favor of, who you are a fan of, CHEATING IS CHEATING. Time to make that an issue that can be taught to our youth.

    The Pats have been caught cheating twice, how many other times have they cheated and just didn't get caught. How good would they be if they played on a "level" playing field. I say no super bowl for them, let the colts play.

  • Nick Stewart - 9 years ago

    How long habe the Patriots been cheating in this way? How many close games did they win this season? Despite getting caught in the past, they just keep cheating.
    The SB this year is now just a farce.
    I hope they get boo'd off the field.

  • Jake Tiller - 9 years ago

    Pats are depart offenders. Given the Pats / Ravens score, a game in which is sounds like the Pats also cheated, the Colts and Ravens should play for the Conf championship and trip to the SB.
    Filming other teams, messing with headsets, etc.. Fines and the loss of picks clearly do nothing to deter that cheat Belli-boy.

    replay the AFC championship with the Ravens and the colts with the winner advancing to the Super Bowl

  • RM1823 - 9 years ago

    Typical Boston fans trying to blindly stand up for their team. Your team was stupid enough to get caught cheating twice so now they have to pay in a significant way. It's not about"jealousy" or "haters" it's about what is fair. You can't take their sb berth away but you can take their coach away from them and draft picks to even it out. The ridiculous comments that these Boston fans spew is insane. This coming from a place where the red sawx complained about Pineda doctoring a baseball...is that all about "haters gonna hate" too? Morons!

    If it was such an advantage for the Pats to use deflated balls. Then why did they score more points in the second half after the officials replaced the balls with the correctly inflated ones? Sounds like a bunch of sore losers telling the NFL to investigate anything and everything. Next everyone will say to forfeit all their games played under Belichick and give back their rings. Haters will be haters.

    Require the Pat's to do their Super Bowl practice with 2lb overinflated balls. Suspend Brady for 1st quarter of Super bowl.

  • Rob Young - 9 years ago

    The most appropriate fine would be to lower their 2015 salary cap by $500K & suspend coach and QB for 2 games in 2015.

  • B. Lunker - 9 years ago

    No doubt the Pats cheated. However they were the better team on that sunday. Even the Colts have admitted it. As far as punishment a a loss of draft pick will not make a dent in organization. The money Kraft has he would just go out and sign free agents. Curtail or cease any signings of free agents. That would impact the team more than anything else. They shouldn't be able to prosper or benefit from this.

    Everyone is not hating on the Patriots or all Cults fan. Its the simple fact that they cheated and now have to pay the price. What message does it send to all people and children when someone cheats, money will solve the issue. Horrible. I hear 12,year old children giving up their fan base because "they don't want to root for cheaters." Some adults can learn a thing or two.

  • Robert Lapointe - 9 years ago

    To all u colts fan and haters u sucked so get over it and move on and by the way the pats will be playing with all team members and coaches jack asses lol

    I recent the comment that your panel made of this essentially is comparable to "cutting in line at the local yogurt shop". How about "INTEGRITY","Fairness", Following the rules? Equal / level playing field? Wow, You missed the mark on this, BIG TIME. For this to be categorically dismissed in such away, makes me believe YOU would have done this sort of garbage in your life (or do not find that CHEATING is a big deal at all). Fire & Fine every person involved, Regardless of who you are.

    Forfeit, and have Ravens vs Colts game for the Super bowl spot. Also fire Bill. He has cheated to much. He shows the world and our youth that cheating is ok, and you get rewarded and not punish.

    5 yr suspension from post season play, loss of draft picks for 3 yrs, forfeit win over indy and Baltimore let them play to see who goes to sb, hearty fine, and for billacheat he gets the grand prize....a lifetime ban from the nfl and the hall of fame...remember pete rose

  • dawn hayes - 9 years ago

    I think the ravens should play the colts, since they was more then likely cheated also. They also had a tight game with the cheaters, losing by only 1 point, so if they did cheat, then the outcome of the raven, patriots game, could have been completly differant
