But there's one thing you may not know. That NFL rule — that calls for each team to supply its own 12 balls for offense — hasn't always been the rule.
The change happened quietly in 2006 when two quarterbacks went to the league lobbying for a tweak in the NFL rulebook regarding how footballs were supplied. It garnered virtually no notice or media attention.
So little that you probably don't know then-Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning led the intense effort to change the rules — along with Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

damn, until now it was always a Peyton Manning idea and he led the effort, Brady was a sidekick along with EVERY OTHER NFL QB that signed the petition
is EVERY NFL QB that signed the petition part of this? Manning? now you think their intent was corrupt?
I guess anything is possible once they started calling one dude a "WHITE Hispanic" because they wanted to convict some Hispanic dude for a hate crime and it would be better for them for him to be white than Hispanic.
A classic case of the lying press lying, they have to go with stuff like this because their FACTS are crumbling
fucking priceless (and goddamn pathetic too)
tell me it's not hate, what a fucking joke
I think it's funny that you think I care that the eagles aren't playing. If philly got caught cheating, I'd be man enough to call them out. You have that blind zombie thing that makes you incapable of doing that....you're a consisten republican follower. I will give you that. You are a sheep in a herd of dummies
That's the thing about these Pats fans, I haven't seen one on this board admit to the allegations they the smoking gun is there & theres a high probability something shady was & is going on........goodness sakes, its like selective seeing & believing that their team cant do any wrong.
so you actually view this as a cover-up as opposed to a fuck job?
what would a fuck job look like to you?
should clear and unquestioned evidence ever surface that they intentionally doctored the balls, I will acknowledge that's just wrong
I had a pit in my stomach when the news first broke
then we slowly but surely learn it's not what it appears to be on so many levels, my whole attitude has changed. Now I think they're victims of a media whack job, and the evidence (or lack thereof) actually supports the defenders more so than the haters right now. Should that change, so will my opinion.
I've seen hack jobs before, first hand, I've experienced hack jobs, and I witness hack jobs being done when I knew the truth without question, and it's not what's being reported (read sold). I don't pretend to have first hand knowledge about this, but the select info that is being leaked and the way the media is acting on so many levels and watching sports experts tell flat out lies about what was found and what wasn't found and what was or wasn't said just doesn't pass the smell test.
There is so much misinformation out there it's astounding, yet so many don't give a rat's ass about all those warning signs, they simply choose to call us irrational
Even on this board they're countless inaccuracies, or the same inaccuracies being reported countless times
priceless

You're never gonna say there is clear evidence. Your mind is made up that this is some kind of media frame up.
The pats are who they are and the nfl will prob continue to let hem get away with murder. The "investigation" which the nfl made sure lasts past the super bowl...will have results based on what's best for Goodell and the league...it will not be baased on facts. We know thee balls were deflated, we know brady likes a deflated ball, we saw brady's embarrassing press conference and we know the pats have a history of cheating. These are facts that any rational, objective person can draw an easy conclusion. Those who don't wanna see it...,ever will...no matter what is presented to them.
I find it funny to watch how the pats handle it. Monday, none of them know anything, days later BB is a scientist, days after that they become defiant and offended. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if Kraft and his boy Goodell are working this together.
