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.
