Guess what's in the news again? The Patriots and cheating. Bill Belichik bitching about other teams cheating is like Uwe Boll bitching about other directors making bad movies.

Not banned, just threatened to be banned.

The NFL is very strict on what players wear into games due to safety, contracts, etc.

Lynch being someone who has been fined continuously for breaking league rules, he had little chance of getting any sort of favor. Lynch is a selfish dick. If he wants to stand out from his teammates tell him to do something worth while on the field. Fuck him.

BTW, his team is losing 16-0 and I'm sure it's because he couldn't wear gold cleats.

Wow! How many Green Bay fans are cutting their wrists right now? What an embarrassing loss.

If the Colts lose, I guess I'll root for good commercials since I'll want both teams in the Super Bowl to lose.

Goddamn. Green Bay's special teams and D fell apart. Started with the onside kick and snowballed like angry hooker.

That was just... amazing. Wow, just fucking wow.

And, Amen. I guess I would root for Seattle, but Christ. Can the terrorists win? (hopefully just limiting damage to the teams, not spectators)

I don't care who wins. I just want a fucking game, unlike last year's Practice Bowl.

I think it started when Seattle scored 2 TDs in 44 seconds with about 2 minutes left.

All GB had to do was recover the onside kick. I figured either Lynch or Wilson would break out at some point. But you can't give them the fucking ball back. Then there was that 2-point conversion that stayed alive because GB couldn't contain Russell.

Can the Patriots win a big game without being accused of cheating?

To the majority of the league's fans, that's the legacy Belicheck and Brady will leave behind.

I don't think there's a single person outside of New England or Seattle that has anything but hatred and/or scorn for either team.

Doug Baldwin. First off, I bet most non-football folk would mistake him for the only actor worse than Stephen. Secondly, he's got Steve Smith's attitude without the talent, consistency, or style to back it up. This team shot from "underdog" to "douchebag establishment" in the span of a couple seasons.

John Fox, new head coach of the Chicago Bears, says he's looking forward to getting to know the QB that got his two predecessors fired.

If I was a Chicago Bear fan, I'd be pretty pissed about John Fox as my head coach. I don't think he gives a shit.

I'd be far more worried about my QB and my D.

Browns trying to stay ahead of the Bengals in next year's annual "worst football team in Ohio" competition.

INT started the whole deflated ball thing.

I'm mainly posting it for the snarky last paragraph:
Ultimately it seems as if it will be difficult for the league to prove whether the balls being underinflated was due to external factors or the Patriots’ intentional actions. Maybe a thorough video review will help answer questions.


ZING!
