It's always handy to have a good air pump available for those deflated moments. I like the way she pumps that banana.
Love some Rosalyn Sanchez.
The Patriots should be banned from the Super Bowl

He said to the press. You need to ask the quarterback. Basically saying I don't know what happened. But he may. Essentially as Stephen A Smith and Mark Brunell said. He put it on Tom Brady to say what the hell happened. Some poor ball boy or equipment manager going to take the fall. Brady ain't going to admit he told them to deflate those balls.
Like Richard Sherman said. Brady ain't the goody two shoes the media tries to make him be.

You knew Belicheat wasn't going to admit he knew anything about it. Sean Payton said the same thing and got suspended a year.
This is the dumbest story in the history of Earth.

Why Kendrick? Because it's done all the time? Because it didn't change the outcome of the game?
It's a story because rules were broken and it's the damn Patriots again on their way to the Super Bowl. No different than the Saints and bounty gate. That wasn't the first time a team did that. But they got caught and it was big because it came out after them winning a Super Bowl. If this was some lower team like Tampa Bay. It would not be a big story. But it aint. Not the media fault this time. Blame whomever deflated those balls intentionally in the AFC title game. Should have followed the rules.

It's dumb because of all the fake outrage I'm hearing over this. How the Patriots should not be in the Super Bowl. How Tom Brady and Belichick should be suspended or worse. We don't even know whether a coach or player has ever been individually suspended or fined for deploying deflated footballs in games.
Plus, players on the Colts said the condition of the footballs didn't make any difference in the outcome of the game. While it has been reported that deflating the ball does make it somewhat easier to handle, there isn't a consensus on how much of an advantage a team has.
You have guys out there doing all sorts of things on the field to gain an advantage, taking all sorts of things to gain an advantage, and I find it hard to get worked up over the amount of air in a football. It's just silly to me.

Very true statement! Also, Big Ben never gets a free pass, but for some reason the bum in San Diego gets one!

So breaking NFL rules is trivial? We not talking the outcome of the game. That is not issue. The issue is someone deflated those balls intentionally and it's the Patriots again involved. If it is a trivial rule. Then they should do away with it. Yes the Pats could have beaten the Colts. But maybe they did the same against the Ravens who they barely beat. You know it wasn't the first time. Then have your Qb sit there and lie about it. Lol. Oh well.

Kendrick it aint about the Colts. They can't beat New England with any kind of ball. It is the principal of the matter that they act like they know nothing. Suspension before the Super Bowl is crazy. But the NFL has to send some message.

Yes they do. Because it is the Patriots again. The Saints are watching. Yeah you wait until after the Super Bowl. But the Patriots should be the last organization name coming up with some type of issue no matter how minor it may seem. Too many other NFL folks think they cheat. If they just slap their hand then it will look like favoritism. Brady should be gone for 2 games and Belichick for 2 games. Big fine. 1st round pick and a warning that they better not have another issue within the year or it gets worse.

You know it would be silly if it wasn't that team. We all know it didn't change the outcome of the game. But the problem is perception. Hell my Qb never got charged or arrested for anything. But Big Ben foolish behavior allowed folks to think he was sexually assaulting women. Never was it proven. Not even an arrest or grand jury indictment etc. But the commish suspended him for 4 games. 6 initially. Just to set a precedent. You saw what he did with the Saints. Not the first time there were bounties out there. But the NFL had to look tough and send a message to avoid lawsuits since they had warned folks to knock it off. Then they figured Sean Payton lied to them about not knowing and sent him away for a year. Even got some management folks. This was to protect the league image. And we just saw how they bungled the Ray Rice deal. If they let this slide it will seem hypocritical. Especially now that you got folks like Troy Aikman, Mark Brunell, Jerome Bettis and Brian Dawkins all saying Brady is a liar. LOL.
The refs may get the nod to let the Seahawks mug the Patriots in this Super Bowl. LOL.
Goodell almost has no choice but to do something more than what is on the books.
I said 2 games because it may never be proved that Bill or Tom knew about it. Tom we have to believe knew something whether it was a wink to his equipment manager or whatever. But there will never be any proof or admission to deflating the balls. So 2 games is about all you could do. The folks wanting blood will have to wait until the Pats do something else. LOL. Unless the NFL does catch someone deflating the balls on camera or something that works for the Pats. But if that tape existed, it would be out by now I imagine.

The NFL will conveniently not conclude the investigation until AFTER the Super Bowl. You think they are going to hand out a suspension before then? No way. They rather have the story linger through the Super Bowl. Before having folks turn off the TV because Brady or Belichick is not there. More than likely it would be Brady that would have to go because he is the one who would want the ball deflated to suit him.
This is going to fester through the Super Bowl. Right now the NFL is hoping Seattle wins so they don't have to hear as much about the story during the aftermath of the Super Bowl. Hearing that the champs are cheaters by the media and such. And wondering why the NFL has not dropped the hammer. Last thing they need is more Ray Rice type drama. Aikman and other high profile ex players are calling Brady a liar. LOL. I bet Goodell is happy Fox ain't calling the game for the Super Bowl. LOL. Aikman would be all over it.

Yeah man. I saw that.

If it were nothing then why do it?
Why deflate not one, not two, but eleven game balls?
If it wetter nothing then why is it that every respected former NFL officials said they cheated
?(not broke the rule)
If it's nothing then why are the Patriots constantly getting caught doing this kind of stuff?
Suh backing up and stepping on Aaron Rogers leg was nothing, but they immediately suspended him because of his team record of doing such things from YEARS ago.
So why is this nothing? And please don't waste band width with "three colts wasn't going to win anyway" excuse.
This is about the Patriots long history of this type of behavior.
You do know the NFL later rescinded Suh's suspension, right?
