Is anyone upset with Rodgers who admits he over inflates the footballs?

No? Really?

Then be quiet.

+1. Yup, a little air out of the footballs and filming defenses. That's why they've been so good for 15 years. Belichick is playing chess while the rest of the league is playing checkers. Neither Belichick or Brady pays any lip service to the national media and that's why ESPN, the NFL Network, etc... all have an agenda to beat them down with the morality stick. Brunell crying on the air about Brady flouting the integrity of the game? He should be crying over his mediocre career....

I guess since all of their tricks have been found out, the Pats will certainly go 6-10 next year....either that, or we'll win yet another division title.

Haters gunna hate.

I'm more upset about the idiotic pass call at the end of the Super Bowl than I am about the under-inflated balls. The NFL should investigate Pete Carroll's brain.

That will go down in history as possibly the worst call of all time. I couldn't believe it. Carroll should be proud of himself.

I think possibly the worst call in the history of sports. It was that bad.

Who knows if the deflation gave them a competitive advantage or was simply a result of testing the balls. What matters is that they, mainly Brady, clearly lied to investigators about knowledge of efforts to deflate footballs. That is what requires some amount of disciplinary action on the part of the NFL.

+ 1

I can't believe some people actually defend their actions.

Great lesson for kids: It's ok to cheat if everybody else does it, no matter how minor it may seem or how much impact it has.

It will never happen. Why would the NFL " discipline " Brady? You can't fine him, and he certainly won't be required to miss games during the season. He will cost the NFL too much money if they suspend him for regular season games. Like him or not, Brady is still a HoF QB, and still would have won the games the Pats won and lost the games the Pats lost regardless of the football inflation. Again, most are making WAY too much out of a football that has been under inflated.

That said, what do your REASONABLY suggest in terms of a " discipline " for Brady.

And even with that call, if Wilson makes a good throw, Seattle scores.

12-4 should still be good enough to win the AFC East next year. Losing the 32nd pick shouldn't hurt too much either.

Go Dolphins!

Again, all the NFL cares about is money and the perception that the Pats cheated in the playoffs was enough to make the commissioner freak out. Heating up the balls illegally on the sideline? 25K fine because the press didn't run with it. Brady messing with the balls? He's 1/4 Paul Hornug-ed.

Love the Pat fans finding any excuse to defend their cheating quarterback.
