Yesterday's incident actually didn't affect the pats, they were at a different resort. Still weird though and this actually happened all throughout the SB week in the 2007 SB against the Giants in glendale

Patriots will still be fined/lose draft picks, this is the NFL and they don't give a shit.
At this point there's a slim chance they're even reprimanded let alone punished. There is no proof they tampered and there's even a scientific and peer supported explanation for the loss of psi
Don't just reply, counter my point burnem if you're able to

This is the NFL where the standard for proof is fucking low and they punished teams for refusing to violate federal anti-trust laws.
kraft I believe will sue the nfl if the patriots suffer any fines or punishment.
Also this might be as difficult for me to swallow as the first Giants loss if they lose. There's never been a better opportunity for an athlete and coach to solidify themselves as goats

The NFLPA is currently suing the NFL for collusion and the fact that they punished the Cowboys and Redskins is the proof they colluded, those two teams aren't getting their salary cap back anytime soon so good luck.

So what are the chances the the Colts balls were within regulation because they over inflated them before the game? That would be just fantastic.
We will never know. Isn't it absurd that logging the psi isn't part of the process? Like what a logical thing to do that.... Isn't.. Done
"Some reports suggested the Colts became aware of a deflation problem in their Nov. 16 matchup against the Patriots, and warned the NFL ahead of time to catch the Patriots in the act in the AFC Championship.
Blandino said that simply isn?t true.
?I was not personally aware of any issue after that [Nov. 16] game,? Blandino said. ?I don?t know where that came from.?

Wouldn't mind seeing a first ever lawsuit against some media outlets for both libel and slander as well

I think it is very likely. These teams all know the refs don't check these footballs like they should. They all probably do what they want to get the pressure they want. The simple fact is the refs sign off on these footballs clearing each team that does it.
And clearly it's logical to perform the first ever mid game/post game psi test during the AFC championship game
You know without any precedent and knowledge of the possible conditions altering the psi

Wouldn't surprise me, you would think it's written somewhere what the 'protocol' is since he said they followed that.
Nm, I found something..

Great, now every time there's a first down they will stop the clock to check the ball's PSI.
Or because he wasn't dealing with the load of shit that is the media. To answer your question though, yes, they were both quite entertaining.
