Talk about a nail biter though. One of the best playoff games I've ever watched.

[DoctorUnne]

Best game I've ever seen in person. Will give Baltimore credit, they brought their A game. Lucked out (no pun intended) in not having to play Denver too. Luck might be playing better than Manning right now, but Denver has a muuuuuuuch better running game (Baltimore's gave us fits) and a better pass rush too. Pats match up really well with the Colts.

Jealous. Do you have season tickets?

[DoctorUnne]

Yes. Just got them this year.

[Androidpk]

Yes. Just got them this year.

If you don't want to go to the game on Sunday, which is understandable, I'd be okay with having your ticket.

[Ker_Thwap]

Sorry Apk, tickets are for winners.

[Androidpk]

Sorry Apk, tickets are for winners.

Then why are the Celtics still selling tickets?

[Ker_Thwap]

Then why are the Celtics still selling tickets?

Don't harsh my mellow.

[Androidpk]

Sure glad I'm not a Seahawks fan.

[Gelston]

Where is Tisket at?

[Tisket]

Fuck you!!!

[Androidpk]

Fuck you!!!

See you in two weeks!

[Tisket]

Sure glad I'm not a Seahawks fan.

You were saying?

[Androidpk]

You were saying?

Ask me again after the Pats win the Superbowl. Unless of course they lose, then I fully expect you to laugh in my face and mock me.

[Tisket]

I don't know...we gave the Packers every chance possible to win that game and they still lost. Don't expect another four interceptions to help the Patriots.

[Androidpk]

Either way I am anticipating a great game. East coast vs West coast. Double D's vs Starbucks.

[Atlanteax]

(under)Inflate-gate

Big deal or no?

Seems that the Colts would had lost anyhow, but I suppose 'it is the principle of the matter'.

Speculation = Kraft will fire Belichick if coaching staff responsible (after sticking with him after 'SpyGate')
Incidentally Goodell and Kraft are best buds, photos of pre-game party, and Kraft being a key supporter of Goodell.

[Tisket]

I think it will turn out to be one misguided person that did it, not some kind of conspiracy.

[Tisket]

Although...as many footballs as that quarterback has held...you'd think he'd have noticed the difference.

[Androidpk]

I don't see it as a big deal. It certainly didn't benefit Brady as passing wise that was his 5th worst game this season.

[DoctorUnne]

Got my SB tickets!

Section 133, row 37.

Can't wait for the game. Hopefully this one will turn out better than the last time we played there. My thinking goes Detroit had a heartbreaking loss to Dallas, who had a heartbreaking loss to GB, who had a heartbreaking loss to Seattle...

[Keller]

Go Seahawks!

[Androidpk]

Even if they lose I gotta hang out to the Pats for an amazing season. Cracks me up that so many people were saying Brady's time was over after their loss to Kansas City.

[Latrinsorm]

I don't see it as a big deal.Stands to reason. If the Patriots cheating before didn't bother you, why should the Patriots cheating now bother you?

[Gelston]

I'll be for the Seahawks in the SB. I'd have gone for the Colts if they'd won.

No way will Belichick be fired.

No way.

[Androidpk]

Yeah, lets fire the greatest NFL coach of all time.

[Keller]

Yeah, lets fire the greatest NFL coach of all time.

Any coach that can get this much out of Tom Brady is definitely the greatest coach of all time. Absolutely no argument from me.

[Ker_Thwap]

First, they didn't cheat. They just exposed another stupid rule on the part of the NFL. The rules pertains to the air pressure two hours before the game. Two hours! Then they let the teams use any old ball they want (as long as it doesn't have corrugations.) They toss in a subjective proviso that the officials on the field can toss a ball if they don't like it.

Want a soft ball, use an old one, that rubbery material leaks. Any ten year old kid can tell you that. Heat the balls right before testing, to get them up to the minimum 12.5 pounds. Then wait. By game time, that ball is a squishy thing of beauty. Because science.

If they want the balls a certain pressure at game time, they should test them at game time, or just provide a big box of league scuffed balls at a set pressure.

Then they let the teams use any old ball they want (as long as it doesn't have corrugations.) They toss in a subjective proviso that the officials on the field can toss a ball if they don't like it.No. The rule is that the ball is to be inflated between 12.5 pounds and 13.5 pounds. Another rule is that the balls must be tested two hours before the game. This does not imply that the balls have to be at that pressure ONLY at testing, in the same way that your car has to have working tail lights at all times rather than only at inspection. Read (http://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/image/rulebook/pdfs/5_2013_Ball.pdf) it for yourself.

They cheated. They also cheated last November. This isn't an "oh whoops" or "rogue equipment manager". This is a pattern of corruption.

This is the NFL.

[Androidpk]

Shut up, Latrin.

[Ker_Thwap]

Does it specifically say that it has to stay inflated? Get your imperfect tail light analogy out of my face. No one said ONLY. You're grasping.

Why are you anti science, and anti grammar?

[Atlanteax]

Because Latrinspam

[Latrinsorm]

Does it specifically say that it has to stay inflated? Get your imperfect tail light analogy out of my face. No one said ONLY. You're grasping.The tail light analogy is perfect for that reason. Nobody specifically says your tail lights have to stay working after inspection. The rule is "your tail lights have to work". Similarly, nobody specifically says the ball has to stay inflated after inspection. The rule is "the balls have to be inflated".

That you can read a rule that says "the ball shall be inflated (12.5 to 13.5 psi)", interpret that as "only at official measurement time", and accuse ME of grasping demonstrates pretty clearly which of us is the anti-, Auntie.

I'm not debating your crappy analogy. Link the actual law regarding tail lights, in each and every state, chart them out, and I suspect you'll see that the rules are far less ambiguous with respect to maintaining them in working order while on the road. I bet their are separate laws that discuss the period of time between inspections. Your analogy is crap.

The NFL rules state exactly what they state, you can interpret them how you like if it makes you happier, but there's a word for people who try to inflict their personal reality on others. But that doesn't change what they explicitly state. Shall be logically does not translate into shall remain, shall be maintained, it means shall be.

"Every motor vehicle other than a motorcycle shall be equipped with at least two head lamps with at least one on each side of the front of the motor vehicle."

It doesn't say WHEN the vehicle shall be equipped, or that they must REMAIN equipped! HUEHUEHUE no more tickets for me!!! (The tail lights section has a bunch of stuff about trailers which gets in the way, but same principle.)

Yes, there is. I bet Androidpk can help you remember the word.

[Tisket]

So I take it that Latrinsorm will be rooting for Seattle in the SB?

[Ker_Thwap]

Don't be silly. Choosing a team would require going out on a limb and risking disappointment.

Who is Lebron James rooting for?

[Gelston]

Whether they broke the rules or not with ball inflation, I doubt it would have changed the out come of the game.

[Keller]

That is absolutely true.

Colts got beat like an SEC west team in a bowl game.

[Androidpk]

Whether they broke the rules or not with ball inflation, I doubt it would have changed the out come of the game.

Especially considering all the balls were replaced at half-time. After that the Patriots outscored tbe Colts 28-0.

Oh lord, people are crying so frigging hard over this. :lol2:

And there is no reason to. Even if it is determined they DID use underinflated balls on purpose, it isn't like they null the game results. They don't replay the game. It is just a miniscule fine to the team.

[Tgo01]

Surprised more teams don't cheat. It's not like they are gonna lose fans if they cheat. Even if they did lose fans they would gain more fans from winning so win freaking win baby!

[Ker_Thwap]

http://the-mainboard.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/puzzled.png

Science. (http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/2015/01/21/how-the-patriots-could-have-cheated-without-letting-air-out-the-ball/Eocm5m29nIlh0HRBjFWsYO/story.html) You'd have to be an idiot to think the NFL actually expects the ball to remain consistent within the range of temperatures from two hours before the game, til the end of the game. There has been zero information released on what temperature the balls were tested at later on.

Fifteen yard penalty for improper use of the disbelieving Chappele face.

[Gelston]

Surprised more teams don't cheat. It's not like they are gonna lose fans if they cheat. Even if they did lose fans they would gain more fans from winning so win freaking win baby!

This "cheat" if it even happened, didn't cause the Colts to only score one TD.

[Latrinsorm]

Can you provide the specific NFL game time PSI requirements that are analogous to these laws? No?The NFL rule is not specific to any time, it is like the perfect car light analogy a UNIVERSAL rule. I get that someone told you the NFL only has rules about psi in the context of inspections, but read the rule book for yourself. I've already linked it for you.
Yes, there is. I bet Androidpk can help you remember the word....vaporizer?
Don't be silly. Choosing a team would require going out on a limb and risking disappointment.I have made specific predictions many times in basketball. I don't pick teams in football because I don't watch football, but when I did watch football I participated in and in fact ran the PC pick 'em. I say unto you that it is you who are the silly one. :)

It rules out the possibility of natural temperature change causing the amount of measured pressure loss.

People are calling for Bellichick to be fired and for the Pats to be disqualified from the SB. Fucking nuts.

[Latrinsorm]

People are calling for Bellichick to be fired and for the Pats to be disqualified from the SB. Fucking nuts.I think it will be very interesting to see the punishment handed down in the context of the OP.

[Androidpk]

>Yes, there is. I bet Androidpk can help you remember the word.

Such a hater.

[Gelston]

People are calling for Bellichick to be fired and for the Pats to be disqualified from the SB. Fucking nuts.

Haha, yeah not happening. The minimum penalty is a 25k fine. They can fine more, but they aren't going to fire Belliboy or disqualify the Pats. As much as I dislike the Pats, I'd rather see them get stomped by the Seahawks.

I imagine it is mostly a bunch of Colts fans crying. Dude, you all got beat. Severely. Shut up already.

[JackWhisper]

Somewhere in this is a middleground that ought to be reached. Do any of you, who know that the Patriots AND Bellichick have a history of seizing any and all advantage, legally defined or not, if they can get away with it, think that this is the only thing they have done to try to eek their way into a win? Sportsmanship has it's place, sure, but if you need 10 inches, and you've got 10 slightly underhanded ways to gain an inch, you'd be using all 10 of those ways.

I got nothing for or against the Pats, the Hawks, or the Colts. Although the Colts oughta be ashamed at how their team worked together this year. Dogshit doesn't even begin to cover it.

The Pats, by proven history, repeatedly manipulate their environment to give them an advantage, in not-so-blatant ways that may or may not be against the rules, but are against the spirit of the rules. Penny pinch the logic if you want, but a fine is not enough, and a SuperBowl DQ is too much.

Middleground.

[Androidpk]

Middleground for fucking what? This is a non-issue. Just like that spygate BS.

You need at least 10,000 posts before anyone cares about you. (It'll raise to 20,000 when I pass 20,000 btw. Better post random nonsense faster than me.)

It rules out the possibility of natural temperature change causing the amount of measured pressure loss.

I have no idea why you won't admit that I could be correct. Read my first post. I suggested multiple reasons why the ball could have naturally deflated. The article does indeed rule out that temperature change causing the full change. But surely you're aware of the concept of addition? It's pretty simple math, but I'll spell it out for you anyway. 1 + 1 = 2. So, what could possibly motivate you to make that statement? Did you think I'd forget that I posted a multi part theory? Were you hoping to score internet points with the audience trusting that they're too stupid to notice? Leak plus pressure.

You can type in caps all you want. I provided the article just in case anyone here didn't have a high school science education, and was unaware that pressure changes with temperature. I don't believe the NFL is unaware of this scientific tidbit. Thus, they would not have written a rule that the ball remain at a constant pressure, over the course of six hours.

Now, there still exists the possibility that they did cheat, they could have bribed an official, they could have paid the ballboys to deflate the ball with a mechanical device, Tom Brady could have been wearing a secret decoder ring with an attached needle. If you want to enlighten us with your theory of exactly how they cheated, please do so. If you don't even have a theory of how they cheated, then it's a bit weird to call them cheaters.

My debate with you is over. Now I'm just going to call you a dumb-ass, with no attempt to further my debate. You constantly obfuscate with bad analogies, changing the subject, creating straw men, presenting easy to believe lies, presenting illogical conclusions. Why do you do these things? Do you lack respect for your audience? Do you think we're all so stupid that you can put forth these kind of statements and we won't notice? You have your head up your ass in the real world. Please stop, it's not quirky and endearing, it's dickish.

[JackWhisper]

Tom Brady could have been wearing a secret decoder ring with an attached needle.

Oh my god. Not only do I want this to be true, but I want one.

[Parkbandit]

So, Brady admits to liking a soft ball... so is it that difficult for people to understand that he probably instructs the ball inflation dude to only inflate the balls to 12.5lbs.. they are checked and verified by officials to be within specifications (which is inside a normally warm room) and when the balls are actually used during game time (outside where it's much colder), that inflation naturally drops (science) to where the balls are now below 12.5lbs. The officials ran the game for a full half before being told that the balls were "under inflated" and they handle the balls more than Brady does. How did they not notice how deflated these balls were?

People are making this a far bigger deal than it really is... probably the same people who would love to see the NFL knocked down a couple of pegs... or Raven and Colt fans...

[JackWhisper]

Yeah! And what about those Redskins?! Cheating, racism, JEEZ! Bad behavior is prevalent everywhere!

[Ker_Thwap]

Yeah! And what about those Redskins?! Cheating, racism, JEEZ! Bad behavior is prevalent everywhere!

Fortunately, I don't look to my entertainment to be my moral compass.

Edit: Well, I suppose if it was systemically really bad, like gladiator style executions, then I'd stop watching.

[Ker_Thwap]

Oh my god. Not only do I want this to be true, but I want one.

A quick Google search revealed rings with decoders, and rings with needles. Not both. You should probably try to contact Tom's jeweler.

[JackWhisper]

Man..... I can't afford that. That's some high tech special gadgetryness!

Were you hoping to score internet points with the audience trusting that they're too stupid to notice? Leak plus pressure.I don't know why you have this theory about internet points. When have I ever posted something that was well-received by the PC? My pharmaceutical analysis is universally distrusted, and my basketball analysis fares only slightly better. Anyway, to your point. All eleven balls simultaneously sprang leaks? In both the conference championship and the regular season game? But no other team has ever had a problem with leaky balls? Sounds like you're strainin' to do some explainin' to me.
Thus, they would not have written a rule that the ball remain at a constant pressure, over the course of six hours.They didn't. They gave an acceptable range.

If you don't even have a theory of how they cheated, then it's a bit weird to call them cheaters.I'm no big city lawyer, but it strikes me that if one man walks into an empty bank and then walks out with all the money that was in the vault, I can safely assume he robbed it without identifying the exact mechanism. Maybe he used dynamite, maybe he used a crowbar, maybe he stole a key. Who cares?

I think you have a personal dislike for me for some reason and it's clouding your judgment.

The officials ran the game for a full half before being told that the balls were "under inflated" and they handle the balls more than Brady does. How did they not notice how deflated these balls were?As Ker_Thwap has proven, the temperature change was not enough to cause the observed pressure change. The relevant equation is the Gay-Lussac law: P/T = P/T. Keeping in mind that we have to convert to absolute temperature and pressure...

27.5 / 294 = 25.5 / x

It was in fact 50º F at the game, thus something more than temperature drop had to have happened. Also please note that this assumes the balls were inflated to the bare minimum 12.5 psi. If they were actually inflated to the average 13 or the maximum 13.5, the temperature factor is even less important.

Somewhere in this is a middleground that ought to be reached. Do any of you, who know that the Patriots AND Bellichick have a history of seizing any and all advantage, legally defined or not, if they can get away with it, think that this is the only thing they have done to try to eek their way into a win? Sportsmanship has it's place, sure, but if you need 10 inches, and you've got 10 slightly underhanded ways to gain an inch, you'd be using all 10 of those ways.

I'm trying to avoid the media hype as we all know 1) these are the two weeks before the Super Bowl, and 2) these are the Patriots who unfortunately have a checkered history when it comes to these things and even if they didn't eveyone loves to hate the best. It's the perfect shitstorm. I'll wait until a verdict is reached.

Kerthwap - Latrin has never conceded in an argument so don't even bother. His logic is infallible.

I am glad Brady put himself out there and said he had no knowledge of this. So he's either clean or he's a liar. If he's a liar then I want nothing to do with him anyway so I'm glad there is a binary outcome. Doesn't change the fact that he's the GOAT, but I would be extremely disappointed in him as a person.

The silver lining is assuming he doesn't get suspended, Brady is likely to play between 30% and 50% better because of this. Nothing like Brady with a chip on his shoulder. I would not be happy about this if I was a Seattle fan, unless he gets suspended.

If he does get suspended, I'll be holding an auction for seven super bowl tickets.

[Ker_Thwap]

Wrong.I don't know why you have this theory about internet points. I could be wrong on this account, but since you should know, most of us see through your irrelevant facts. The question remains, who is your intended audience?When have I ever posted something that was well-received by the PC? My pharmaceutical analysis is universally distrusted Because you fixate on tiny, largely irrelevant, yet factually correct details.), and my basketball analysis fares only slightly better. Because you focus on only measurable statistics, and won't commit to a favorite team. This tends to creep sports fans out. There has to be one team that you liked more than another over your lifetime. Give it up, make a stand.) Anyway, to your point. All eleven balls simultaneously sprang leaks? (No one suggested they simultaneously sprang leaks, straw man argument.) In both the conference championship and the regular season game? (I'm unaware of any regular season game.) But no other team has ever had a problem with leaky balls? Perhaps no other team uses balls that are quite so old. Surely you can recall that theory? Sounds like you're strainin' to do some explainin' to me.They didn't. They gave an acceptable range.I'm no big city lawyer, but it strikes me that if one man walks into an empty bank and then walks out with all the money that was in the vault, I can safely assume he robbed it without identifying the exact mechanism. (Another terrible analogy)Maybe he used dynamite, maybe he used a crowbar, maybe he stole a key. Who cares?I don't think I do any of those things. (I would ask you to furnish examples but you won't.) I think you have a personal dislike for me for some reason and it's clouding your judgment.(You baffle me, you annoy me. I'm not certain it rises to the level of dislike.)As Ker_Thwap has proven, the temperature change was not enough to cause the observed pressure change. The relevant equation is the Gay-Lussac law: P/T = P/T. Keeping in mind that we have to convert to absolute temperature and pressure... (You attempt to link your crappy logic with an established scientific law, desperately hoping that someone will be impressed. That person is not me.)

27.5 / 294 = 25.5 / x
x = 273 Kelvin
x = 32º F

It was in fact 50º F at the game, thus something more than temperature drop had to have happened. Also please note that this assumes the balls were inflated to the bare minimum 12.5 psi. If they were actually inflated to the average 13 or the maximum 13.5, the temperature factor is even less important. What was the temperature in the equipment room? What was the temperature of the balls before testing? What was the temperature at half time? Why in any way is the temperature at the start of the game relevant to this conversation

Why do you insist on feeding the troll?

Here.. don't believe me... believe a physics professor.

A natural decrease in temperature would have caused the New England Patriots’ footballs to become under-inflated Sunday, a Boston College physics professor says. Michael Naughton, chair of the physics department at BC, said in a press release “it’s not possible for weather not to have played a role” in the DeflateGate controversy. He claimed footballs always lose or gain pressure depending on the conditions. “Say you inflate the ball to 12.5 PSI — the NFL minimum — in a room at 70 degrees, and then used the ball outside where it was 50 degrees. That 12.5 PSI would eventually become 11.5 PSI,” Naughton said. “If you inflate the ball to 12.5 PSI in an even warmer room where it was, say, 80 degrees, and then played outdoors at 40 degrees, that 12.5 PSI would become 10.5 PSI — a drop of two PSIs.” The temperature at kickoff Sunday in Foxboro, Mass., hovered around 50 degrees — not very cold, but presumably colder than the room in which the balls were inflated and checked by officials two hours before the game. As for the Colts’ footballs being within the legal PSI range, Naughton has an easy explanation for that, too: If those balls were more inflated to begin with (maybe even above the legal maximum), they could have lost air pressure and still stayed above the minimum. By the way, don’t accuse Naughton of being a homer, either: He’s a Buffalo Bills fan, according to the release, which means he’s also an expert in things falling under pressure in big games.

The physics lesson shouldn't even be necessary. Any normal child with a football knows that using a bike pump creates heat as well.

[Gelston]

rofl, who cares? With or without a deflated ball, the Colts only scored one TD. Brady still had 5634563456 hours to throw a pass.

Dumbest controversy ever.

No doubt. Even if the score was close, it's still a fucking dumb controversy since it's been illustrated many times how this could happen.

And clearly it didn't make that big of a difference if the people who hold the ball more than anyone (the referees) didn't notice a difference until they were told at halftime.

No one suggested they simultaneously sprang leaks, straw man argument.Can I have that read back by the stenographer? You said "Leak plus pressure.". I rest my case.

You attempt to link your crappy logic with an established scientific law, desperately hoping that someone will be impressed. That person is not me.I successfully linked my crappy logic with an established scientific law, thank you very much.
What was the temperature in the equipment room? What was the temperature of the balls before testing? What was the temperature at half time?294 Kelvin and above 273 Kelvin respectively.
The physics lesson shouldn't even be necessary.You get that that professor is using the same law I did, right? He's merely giving the Patriots the benefit of the doubt by saying the game temperature was 40º instead of 50º and that room temperature is 80º instead of 70º. I can't even imagine what you would have to say if I told you room temperature was 80º, but that's the whole point of bias, isn't it? You care more about who says something than what is said.

It wasn't even that bad of a throw, Butler was just moving faster than the receiver. Belichick will yell at him after the game for bringing it out to the two.
I was yelling at Tom for most of the game.

Win or lose, this was going down as one of the best super bowls in recent history. The refs didn't screw up anything critical, no cheap pass interference calls. Fun times.

[Ker_Thwap]

At least it was a close game.

I was concerned we were going to lose a third SB to a freak catch. I can't wait to hear who was responsible for any play call other than handing to Lynch.

This is bad on so many levels...let us totally ignore the fact that, empirically, running the ball with Lynch in that scenario is your best chance to score...let us also figure in the clock scenario. The quicker you score, the more time is left for the Patriots to mount some epic come-back. Passes are quick scores. Runs are slow scores. Runs might not make it the first time, but you have 2 more tries, and the clock keeps ticking. Passes stop the clock either way, at that point on the field. Either it's a TD which stops the clock, or it's an incomplete pass which stops the clock. Neither scenario was "best" on 2nd down at that point for the Seahawks.

IMO it's the single stupidest, most stupid, utterly stupid, stupid call ever in the history of the game. All previous successes should forever be overshadowed by this one stupidest call ever.

The pats all thanked their friends, family, fans, but none of them thanked Carroll for that awful last call. Poor form.

What was awful about it?

Thondalar summed it up nicely.

[Androidpk]

Ahh, yeah, makes total sense.

[Wrathbringer]

Had 100 average fans been given this scenario on Madden 24 hrs ago, 90 would have ran lynch, 6 would have ran fb dive, and 4 would have ran the qb sneak. No one calls a pass there. No one. Unbelievable.

I hated everything about it. Crappy message, boring story, wrap your child in bubblewrap! Just weird, and I don't even know what insurance company is was, so they failed that too.

Seems like the commercials this year were mostly debby downers.

[Gelston]

I only paid attention to one commercial but I know Coke stops bullying.

[Warriorbird]

I liked the one Dodge commercial.
