    Looks like BeliCHEAT and his crew are at it again lol.

    Honestly I don't really care, since it meant the Pats got to embarrass the Colts.

    Its just funny that the Pats are always in the middle of some cheating accusations ... I kinda wish the Titans had a coach with the balls to cheat like Belicheck does ... whatever it takes to win.

    If teams hand pick their balls, why does it matter the weight? Why can't Indy tinker with their balls too?

    I actually dont believe New England deliberately cheated, but also wouldn't put it passed them either. Bilichick reads the rule book inside out to get around breaking rules, you see how they now play their LT as a TE, that was also called "cheating" by Ravens coaches.

    The weather was wacky at the game, wet balls gonna alter the overall weight right?

    Because the Colts suck balls, they don't tinker.

    I enjoyed every minute of that game, seeing Andrew Luck neutralized by weather and a better team was fun.

    I only saw the first half, it gets a little late when it starts at 1am. But the result pleases me a great deal.

    Its not the weight of the ball they are worried about, its the pressure inside the ball.

    The balls are supposed to be 12.5-13.5 psi ... deflating the ball would make it easier to catch and throw (esp in the rain).

    Don't get me wrong though ... if deflating balls gives an advantage, then I hope every team does it vs the Colts.

    I don't care if there was cheating or not, I just loved watching the colts get destroyed

    easier to hold onto as well, but it would work that way for both teams


    just the ponies crying to Roger. Which might make Roger so mad he takes draft picks away from the Jaguars

    throwing a deflated ball is harder tho, so its even.

    easier to hold but not throw

    Well I think each team uses their own footballs while on offense. So it wouldn't be the same for both teams. (It would be the same for the colts D if the intercepted I guess, but not for the colts O)
