If anyone accepts, can we have the stipulation that it doesn't take effect immediately. We need time to rub shit in the azeth's face.

peter king had a great point

not entirely sure what he meant but using the ideal gas law, there was some combination where the pats balls would have fallen within the ideal gas law range drop stated- without them having had to do ANYTHING to the balls..

On page 113 of the Wells report, after a description of the scientific Ideal Gas Law, Wells says that the Patriots footballs should have measured between 11.32 psi and 11.52 psi. The average of all 22 readings was 11.30 psi ? two-one-hundredths lower what the Ideal Gas Law would have allowed for balls that started the day at the Patriots? level of 12.5 psi. The Brady camp will surely argue that this case never should have been brought forth because of how close the Patriots? footballs were to the minimum level.
personally i think the punishment was too severe and most likely the appeal will knock it down to 2 games...

Colts balls were also tested as a control and found to be just fine. Plus the balls WERE intentionally deflated by the equipment guys after the refs checked them, so that whole sideshow is entirely irrelevant at this point anyhow.

Also, if Brady is going to get the suspension knocked down, he better stop acting like he currently is and demonstrate some humility.

It's for everyone. Anyone who accepts i'll take.

Pats win 9 or more, you are lifetime banned.

Pats win 8 or less, I am.
The Cheatriots only play 4 teams from last year's playoffs: Steelers, Cowboys, Broncos, and Colts. Two of them are in the first 4 games. If the Cheatriots can't string together 9+ wins playing 12 non-playoff teams, then there are bigger problems for you than a ban bet.

So no... no bet.

This whole thing does make me wonder how the NFL came up with the min and max pressures for the football. I mean, was it just pulled out of their asses, or is there reasoning behind it? It would be interesting to know what pressure levels every QB in the league prefers.

Brady's gone full Lance Armstrong
In the end, the problem is the NFL and Goodell are inept. They throw darts at a freaking wall. They are going to end up losing this thing and looking stupid.

They are amazing at making money, but when it comes to this sort of thing, a sloth with downs syndrome would do a better job.

Curious question. I read most of the report, and this stands out.



I thought there was no recorded pressure of either teams footballs before the game?

If there was...why was that not included in the report? Since I don't see it, can I assume there was no recording? Or did I miss it?

If there was no recording of the pressures, are we just taking the refs word about the numbers? What if the Colts footballs were pumped to max specs and the Pats min specs? Wouldn't that account for the differences in PSI once the recordings were done at half time?
SCIENCE, LOGIC AND FACTS ARE IRRELEVANT SIR. THE PATRIOTS ARE DIRTY FILTHY CHEATING SCUM AND SHOULD ALL BE HANGED POST-HASTE.

On a serious note, what's the deal with the shit from before the Superbowl when the Pats had people run the tests that proved their balls could deflate to the numbers they deflated to when prepped the way they claim they were prepped etc.? They were just a bunch of fake scientists and lying scumbags paid off by Brady (possibly with sexual favors from Gisele)?

Conflicting reports/perspectives. A lot of randoms are running with the notion Brady and the Pats were actively cockblocking the investigation and that is the reason the penalties are justified. But I keep seeing sports writers/networks pointing out that in the actual report it says Brady and the Pats were very cooperative. Someone who can read please tell us the truths!

People keep saying Brady is a known/proven cheater. What else has he been busted on? Or people just generally saying Pats are cheaters so obviously Brady is too? Pats have always pushed the bounds, but even spygate was pretty anti-climatic when you looked at the actual facts/situation. I don't follow the Pats that well, what else have they done?

Was kinda interesting on PTI both Cornholer and Wilbon agreed this will be a pretty big factor added onto the other dumb shit Goodell has done that will result in his contract not being renewed when up. Even hinting, and other sports writers/talkers saying this could actually lead to an active coup to oust Goodell. Even the fact people are talking casually about him being fired is kinda crazy. But thinking about it, players hate him, fans hate him, Kraft was his best bud and now probably hates him, gotta be other owners/teams that hate or fear him. Would be hilarious if such a dumb 'scandal' backfired and led to Goodell's downfall.

I hope Brady and his lawyer absolutely destroy Goodell on this. I could give two shits about what happens to Brady, but Goodell has fumbled almost every major issue over the last year and is somehow becoming even worse as time goes on. He needs to go.
