I don't like them - in particular Marshawn Lynch and Richard Sherman - but that's one tough as nails football team. They are the one team I did NOT want to see the Patriots face. I was rooting my guts out for Green Bay.

I'll have a Number12: Seafood Pie with Dungeness Crab and Lobster.

Richard Sherman

By SoBo-Yuppie on Mon, 01/19/2015 - 8:26am.

Educated and willing to call out the hypocrisy of the NFL.

Love him.

Go Seahawks.

I'm a fan of Sherman, too.

I'm a fan of Sherman, too. How about his 1st quarter interception in the end zone? And Lynch is a beast like our own Blount but better at separating after the hit.

The Packers gave that game

The Packers gave that game away , were intimidated by Seattle. Vince Lombardi is shaking his head somewhere,

Seattle and Dad's favorite sport-isms

"Seattle: they just wanted it more."

"They have heart"

At one point he turned to me and said "Pete Carroll! He'll show those Patriots!"

I might disown him. I'll wait until after the Superbowl to make my final decision.

I'm getting the haterade hard this morning

By Nancy on Mon, 01/19/2015 - 8:56am.

So many texts, FB posts, message board posts about the Patriots cheating. If one more person tells me the Patriots only win because they cheat, I'm going to send Vince Wilfork after them.

Jealousy is a powerful emotion.

Balls

By cybah on Mon, 01/19/2015 - 9:11am.

Yes I see the report about the balls not being inflated properly. Sorry folks, don't buy this one either because the pats wouldn't have had such a wide lead with deflated balls. Utter BS.

Dumbest shit ever

By Kaz on Mon, 01/19/2015 - 9:59am.

If they cheated by deflating the balls, they'd have to do it with ONLY those that they used even though all 12 game balls get rotated heavily and aren't touched by the home team after they give them to the officiating crew. Otherwise, both teams have the same advantage/disadvantage.

It's the dumbest shit ever. Anyone who actually watched the game would have seen a billion times how the weight/inflation of the ball had NOTHING to do with the Colts being unable to defend against the run for example. They got manhandled by the offensive line of the Pats. An underinflated ball isn't Kryptonite for linebackers turning them into little girls that get run over by Blount.

On top of that, the report was that officials were removing balls from rotation to be tested. That's what everyone's jumping on...then, reporters are NOW coming out and saying "yeah, that happens every game for testing just to be sure everything is fine". But the genie's already out, "Pats suspected of cheating again!". Total bullshit.

An NFL football must be

By kvn on Mon, 01/19/2015 - 10:08am.

An NFL football must be inflated with between 12.5 and 13.5 pounds of air per the league's rule book. In addition, home and road teams must each provide 12 game balls to be inspected by the league 135 minutes before game time. The home team also has to have 12 reserve game balls on hand to be tested.

On top of that.....

By Pete Nice on Mon, 01/19/2015 - 3:15pm.

I think it started when an Indy reporter asked the league if they were investigating something. When the league tells the reporter that they are investigating how a ball may have been deflated, it's get spun into the Patriots deflating the ball and getting investigated.

Deflated ball investigation began after Colts interception

By kvn on Tue, 01/20/2015 - 2:46pm.

''You can thank D’Qwell Jackson for sparking Deflate-gate.

According to Bob Glauber of Newsday, the investigation into whether the Patriots intentionally deflated the footballs in play in Saturday’s AFC Championship game began when Jackson intercepted a Tom Brady pass in the second quarter.

Given that each team provides a dozen balls to game officials to use when it is on offense, the Colts might not have known anything was different about New England’s barring the turnover. Ostensibly, a slightly deflated ball would be easier to grip and throw in rainy, windy conditions, as they were playing in Sunday night.

When Jackson returned to the sidelines after his pick, he gave it to a member of the Colts equipment staff, who noticed it felt under-inflated.

The equipment man told coach Chuck Pagano, who relayed the information to General Manager Ryan Grigson, who contacted NFL director of football operations Mike Kensil, who told the officials on the field at halftime.

So while Brady laughed off the suggestion of a conspiracy when asked yesterday, the reality is, he could have kept it from being an issue at all.

All he had to do was throw it to his own teammates, and it’s possible no one would have ever known.''

No accusations of anything but Colts not being able to deal with a game plan they'd already seen earlier in the season, and not paying attention.

Fun fact: jealousy versus envy

By Kaz on Mon, 01/19/2015 - 10:04am.

Envy is a powerful emotion.

Envy is when they want what we have. Jealousy is when they fear we will take what they have.

Jealousy is Bilbo Baggins. Envy is Gollum.

They did their job
