Ol' FredW, trying to put lipstick on a pig. Superbowl is coming up and the only thing that the network news can find to report on for the Patriots is that they are cheaters and can't win if they don't cheat. We know that the Patriots are cheaters, it has to be true and there is nothing else about them that is even worth reporting.
The Patriots now even cheapened the Superbowl. The NFL needs to do the right thing and force the Patriots to be sold to someone that can run the team fairly like the other 31 teams that never have cheated or used any angle to their benefit. Except for when they wait for an important event to suddenly decide to dime out the Patriots. Let's not lose sight of the scale of the transgressions the Patriots have committed, sweeping the field of snow for a kick try, just like they drew it up in the game plan; using film in a game to steal the other teams signals; under inflating the balls which caused the Colts to be unable to score. Yup, make the dirt balls sell the team to someone honest.

I'm finding it very entertaining watching a squirrel put lipstick on a pig.
Finding an honest businessman with a few billion dollars willing to toss the money away on a sports franchise?? Good luck with that.
Now if you had said someone more honest than the Patriots well that just about opens it up to half in inmates in prison.
Thanks for playing though. Go HABS!!!
HABS looking pretty good again this year with the B bears sucking more often than not. Though they were on a little rally B4 the lame-o all star break.

Lame does not even begin to describe the NHL All-Star game. If you can find it on YouTube there used to be some pretty good fights in the All-Star game when Gordie Howe and the rest of the old boys were still around. Back then the players had some pride and played the All-Star game hard.
You are being a little hard on your Bruins though. Sucking is what the Maple Laughs do. Just tell your Big Bad Bruins to take a lesson from the Pats and cheat more.

:lol:
The guy doing Belichick was pretty good. Has several of his mannerisms down. Brady (Taran) not so much.
I think we all suspected the equipment manager Dougie Spoons all along...

Radman (RIP) won with style, not size. Fred can practice his style in his garage with his FJR but please, just leave it there. :lol:Not even close. Radman still wins!

Even more controversy...
One question that has persisted is: Just how deflated were each of those damn balls?
ESPN reporter Chris Mortensen reported hearing (from an undisclosed NFL source) that 11 of the 12 were under inflated by 2 psi. But that has not been confirmed by any entity.
Pro Football Talk is reporting (based on information from their own league insider) that only the intercepted ball was 2 psi low, and that the other 10 balls were more like 1 psi low. Well, that might explain how the refs, or anyone else handling the balls wouldn't notice them being low.
Inflating the balls to the minimum spec (12.5psi), totally within the rules, and then bringing them out of the warm locker room and into sub 50 degree field temps would allow the balls to deflate below spec by just about one psi. The Science Guys that are poo-pooing the temperature deflation scheme are basing that on not achieving a 2 psi loss. It may or may not be significant that Bill Nye is a Seattle fan in addition to being a made for TV science guy.
So that may explain 10 of the 11 soft balls, but how did that 11th ball drop the extra psi?
You know... the one that D'Quell Jackson intercepted, didn't notice anything at all wrong with, and sunsequently handed to the Indianapolis Colts equipment manager?
Hmmm... maybe they are looking in the wrong locker room for the cheaters?
