Die, Belichick, Die!



You... Cheating... Bastards...

*  *  *

The Patriots used underinflated footballs on Sunday night.

According to a National Football League letter about the investigation into the controversy that was shared with the Globe, the Patriots were informed that the league’s initial findings indicated that the game balls did not meet specifications. The league inspected each of the Patriots’ 12 game balls twice at halftime, using different pressure gauges, and found footballs that were not properly inflated.

According to ESPN, 11 of the 12 game balls were found to be underinflated by about 2 pounds each.

(The NFL specifications say they must be inflated to 12½ to 13½ pounds.)

The investigation is still ongoing.

If the Patriots are found to have deliberately doctored footballs, the organization can be fined a minimum of $25,000, and if the NFL finds the incident egregious, the Patriots could potentially lose a draft pick.

* RIDICULOUS. THEY SHOULD HAVE THE "WIN" TAKEN FROM THEM. PERIOD. (AND BELICHICK SHOULD BE BANNED FOR LIFE; ENOUGH IS ENOUGH; THIS IS CLEARLY A PATTERN - CHEATING THAT IS!)

In 2007, commissioner Roger Goodell took away a first-round draft pick and fined Patriots coach Bill Belichick after determining the team had spied on an opponent.

* CASE... IN... POINT...
