Do You Believe Tom Brady's Claim That He Knew Nothing Of Underinflated Footballs Until Monday?

    I'm not a Pats fan, but I think the whole deflategate was a waste of time. If the NFL had seen someone letting air out of a ball with all those cameras that would have been a story, but since natural causes could cause what happened it was a big media thing like the blizzard that hit New York.

    I could care less about football. However, how did the game get half played before anyone picked up on the issue? Officials, as well as many of the oppositions team members had handled the balls in play - and FINALLY at the end of the half ONE of THEM discovers the problem? Brady himself could have committed the dirty deed, but who else had the opportunity and the motivation? Sabotage is possible, I think. I really don't shiv a git. People are killing each other, heads are literally rolling, children are being abused and starving animals tortured. Improperly inflated balls is hardly the biggest problem in the world. It's simply another example of the overpaid spoiled self-centered athletes ( substitute entertainers if you wish) doing what they do and being above it all.

    I'm guessing that Brady wanted the game balls inflated to to bare minimum. How prone are the balls to slowly losing air pressure over time and as conditions change?

    It's curious how the mainstream media headlines with this "egregious" flaunting of the rules (narrative that strongly suggests intent) when it is a sports team in question but the very same media is strangely silent when our leaders flaunt the rules and laws supposedly governing their behavior?

    Even if Belichick and Brady colluded in some fiendishly evil plot to commit violations against the league, is it going to impact us? Would their nefarious exploits create laws that impact our freedoms? Do flat footballs translate to misappropriations of tax dollars and are they knowingly related to ramming through laws and taxes that hurt people? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's curious that press and media goes to such lengths to provoke such indignant reactions at the distraction of what may or may not be a violation of league policy yet the vary same media otherwise engages in a pattern of enabling silence when those who are entrusted with power engage in a pattern of malfeasance.
