EDIT: Looked, couldn't find anything. Halftime was scheduled for 13 minutes, the Patriots balls however were late getting out to the field (that awkward exchange on their first possession) but that doesn't matter. It does say that the gloving of the footballs (heating the balls up in preperation) gave ~0.7PSI difference and equalized after 15-20 minutes. So, math on heating vs cooling anyone? | ||

Greeny was talking about how he just assumes Brady will appeal, and Golic jumped in(paraphrasing) 'well Goodell could always step in himself as the person in the arbitration hearing, and then that gets really interesting if he sticks to to Kraft for doing this as a favor to the other owners, or sucks up to Kraft to mend the relationship.' | ||

I get the distinct feeling that the Patriots are headed to court over this. As a employee of the league I have a very fucking hard time feeling like his being a "neutral arbiter" looks good in a potential law suit. What a shit show this whole thing is turning out to be over something that other teams got caught doing with actually solid evidence and weren't punished for. | ||

Tom Brady chose the "Pete Rose method" of dealing with billionaires. Take it from Pete.. it don't work. | ||

I also think adjusting the PSI was not a game changing thing, but the resulting cover up is silly and I'm sick of the story. The wells report is ridic, but even more so is this counter. Comparing the two is pretty silly, OJ had conclusive evidence and a good lawyer confused an ignorant jury. I'm still not convinced science doesn't explain the change, and I don't agree with how the texts were portrayed in the report as some plot to do anything other than steal some merchandise and sell some tickets in a way they weren't supposed to. RG is either about to cave and admit the flaws or make Brady's court case for him by taking this on himself after essentially recusing himself every other step of the way. | ||

Bailey rarely ever talks about the clients he defends after the trial is over. Bailey says OJ is innocent. I've never seen Bailey lie on camera. OJs oldest son, from OJs 1st marriage committed the murders , and OJ helped his son clean up the mess. OJ didn't do it. This is why OJ was declared Not Guilty and why OJ was so messed up during the white Bronco chase. OJ committed a serious crime, however, he did not commit the crimes he was charged with. | ||

I think that if the NFL had come down super light on Tom a bunch of the players who are black would have felt that the reason was do to race. I believe the NFL was backed into a corner with current landscape, way Brady and Pats responded, and so on. I'm fine iwth the punishment I'm fine if it gets reduced. I think of this like when MLB corks the bat or scuffs the ball, or a nhl playres uses a illegal curve, it's cheating, punish, move on not the biggest deal. Then you are still ignoring the possibility that nothing may have happened? | ||

I wonder before deflate gate how often Brady was actually confronted by haters? I imagine that's been one of the biggest shocks for him outside of NE. I don't think you would even have to make him play for NY, just make him live there. Let him experience the hate up close and personal day in and day out. I'd imagine he can go months in NE without anyone saying anything negative to him at all (particularly before this). | ||
