    One thing I have grown to trust is Belichick's decision making.

    Just about every year the Patriots release or trade some guy that everyone thought....well we will never get rid of that guy.....but later on we find out why.

    YOUR RIGHT!!

    LOL!!!

    I LOVE watching Bill's Press Conferences as some Reporter will ask him a question that by the questions design would ordinarily get any other coach in the game to get riled or go of on a tanget.

    NOT BILL!!! LOL!!!

    He just gives the Reporter this look that say's.....'YOU ARE A COMPLETE MORON ARN'T YOU!!?"

    Some do, some don't.

    The marathon and long-distance running generally is dominated by African athletes. Different cultures prefer different sports and excel in those they prefer.

    American professional football is a highly profitable, popular team sport, and NFL owners compete to recruit the best players for every position without regard to the player's race.

    Is that just your opinion from your personal perspective, or do you have any actual evidence to support it?

    I already explained in detail the reasons Welker wasn't drafted. It should have made sense to you if you understand football.

    So you admit that the multi-million dollar NFL recruiting/drafting apparatus is not very good at what it does..........when drafting 70 percent black players.........thanks.

    It's as good as it possibly can be. You seem to be under the impression that they're not good at what they're doing because they don't have a crystal ball that tells the future.

    Understand that I am NOT a Racist...FAR FROM IT.

    Also understand that although this is not the reality for all Black American Athletes....there are a GREAT MANY BY PERCENTAGE that have been given Sports Scholarships allowing them to attend and get a College or University Education....where such players PLACEMENT TEST SCORES and SATS would have them being UNLIKELY IN THE EXTREME of ever even being ACCEPTED to such Colleges and Universities with such scores.

    Their...GRADES....are another thing as there is without a doubt a SYSTEM OF DENIAL WITH ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY that has such TREASURED HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS PLAYING HIGHLY GIFTED BLACK AMERICAN ATHLETES......who have been shown once in College barely able to do simple mathematics never mind spell or read College Level Literature......WERE PURPOSELY GIVEN WELL ABOVE PASSING AND IN MANY CASE EXCELLENT GRADES IN HIGH SCHOOL THEY DID NOT EARN!!!

    This happens with Highly Gifted White Athletes as well however not as many as the CULTURE OF RACISM has and is being used as a CRUTCH...not as much now as it was in the 80's and 90's....BUT STILL A CRUTCH to support and justify Colleges and Universities GLAZING OVER THE ISSUE OF BAD GRADES BY HIGHLY TOUTED NCAA STUDENT ATHLETES!!!

    As such NCAA Student Athletes are responsible for making the Colleges and Universities HUNDRENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in such things as TV DEALS, ADMISSION MARKETING, T-SHIRTS, PANTS, NAME BRANDING, HATS and many things I would NEVER think of as they are SNEEKY THIS WAY!! LOL!!

    You spout your beliefs, and yet provide no data to sustain them.

    As I am NOT a Racist I find it distasteful to have to post a comparitive list of Black to White College Athleetes GPA'S specific to PARTICULAR COURSES TAKEN.

    As I am aware that although Intelligence Capability exists at about the same percentage in Blacks and Whites....LEARNED KNOWLEDGE AND COURSE EDUCATIONAL DIFFICULTY LEVELS....favor WHITES.

    This is much more of a SOCIAL AND RACIAL ISSUE than it is a Genetic one.

    Methinks thou doth protest too much.

    If you can back up your beliefs with legitimate data, please do so.

    It's comical to see pigskin flatulence as the prevailing obsession in anticipation of the NFL championship game. Some hate being beaten by the grim gremlin and his pretty boy year after year, and claiming his clever tricks are not limited to play-calling innovations is an easy way to wee wee on their galling record.

    Did Brady/Belichick let the air out? Who knows?

    [​IMG]

    In any event, officials, as the rules demand, handled the ball before every play of the first half in which the Patriots scored 17 points when the infraction allegedly was being perpetrated. New England managed 28 points in the second half after their questionable advantage had been thwarted.


    If only Rex Ryan had initiated a pre-game good luck ritual of having Chris Christie sit on the Jets' balls!

    If only.

    Just to let you and other members know....a bunch of kids form a SCHOOL RIGHT HERE NEAR ME IN WESTERN MASS....have created a INTERNET VIDEO....I will look for it....where they take a ball and pressurize the Football at the proper pressure used by a QB in an NFL Game...as balls used for Kicking are pressurized at a diferent level.....and these kids PROVED THE BALL DEFLATED DUE TO GAME TIME AND LATER GAME TEMPS!!!!

    They took a football and pumped it up to the proper pressure at the same outdoor temps. at game time.....and left a pressure game in as they placed the football in water to represent the rain during the game and this water was at the temp. the rain was that fell during the game.

    The ENTIRE TIME THE PRESSURE GUAGE REGISTERED THE PROPER QB USING BALL PRESSURE WHILE THE FOOTBALL WAS PLACED IN COOLER WATER THAT WAS AT THE TEMP. THE RAINFALL WAS DURING THE GAME.

    THE BALL DEFLATED BUT THE PRESSURE GUAGE SHOWED THAT THE PRESSURE NEVER CHANGED AS THIS DEFLATION WAS CAUSED BY THE CHANGE IN TEMPS. AS A BALL FILLED TO THE DICTATED NFL GAME TIME PRESSURE INSIDE THE GILLETTE STADIUMS FACILITIES AT ROOM TEMP....ONCE RAINED UPON BY MUCH COOLER RAIN TEMPS.......A FOOTBALL DEFLATES BUT DOES NOT LOOSE INTERIOR PRESSURE!!!

    Why didnt the colts balls deflate? Why did the ravens warn the colts ahead of time that the pats use deflated balls? Why did the colts complain in nov that the pats were using deflated balls? The refs had a plan before the game ever happened to test the balls at the half. The evidence seems to be stacking up

    The Colts did not complain about Deflated Balls...the entire issue was generated by Colts Fans and Bloggers and Colts Media who after having their A$$E$ handed to them and having SOUR GRAPES....as well as NOT UNDERSTANDING BASIC PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY....they used the removal by the Refs of a deflating ball as a CRYING OUT attempt to blame the Patriots of Cheating.

    The NFL has completely exonerated the Patriots of any wrong doing and you can go online and watch numerous videos showing HOW AND WHY those Footballs deflated.

    There were a few reasons that caused this.

    #1. The Footballs were inflated in a 70 Degree F. Room using Air Gases that were also about 70 Degrees F.

    #2. It was UNSEASONABLY WARM that day with Temps. on the field in the Mid 50's Degrees F. at Game Time.

    #3. There was an OVER 25 DEGREE F. DROP IN TEMPS. OVER THE COURSE OF THE COLTS/PATS GAME.

    #4. HEAVY COLD 33 Degree F. RAIN FALLING FROM OVER 12,000 FEET SOAKED THE FOOTBALLS.

    #5. The Combination of both an over 25 Degree Drop in Air Temps. PLUS the soaking of the Footballs with SUPERCOLD LIQUID RAIN WATER AT 33 DEGREES F....ALLOWING THOSE FOOTBALLS TO BE COVERED IN COLD WATER WHICH IS MUCH DENSER THAN AIR AND THUS DRAWS HEAT OUT AND AWAY FROM THE HIGHER TEMP. BALL AND AIR GASES INSIDE IT......

    .......RESULTED IN THOSE FOOTBALLS INTERNAL AIR GASES TO DROP SO MUCH IN THEIR TEMPERATURE THUS ALLOWED THE AIR GASES TO DECREASE IN VOLUME.

    This is just like buying a MYLAR BALLOON in a store and the Temp. in the store is 68 Degrees F. and so is the Helium Gas in the Tank in the Store and the Mylar Balloon is filled with 68 Degree F. Helium Gas and then after you purchase the Ballon you go outside IN THE COLD WINTER AIR...and guess what happens?

    THE OUTSIDE COLD WINTER AIR CAUSES THE MYLAR BALLOON TO SHRINK AS IF IT HAS BEEN DEFLATED!!!!

    THE SAME AMOUNT OF HELIUM GAS EXISTS INSIDE THE MYLAR BALLOON AFTER IT SHRINKS AND LOOKS DEFLATED AS WHEN IT WAS IN THE WARM AIRED STORE AND WAS FULL!!!

    TEMPERATURE INCREASES AND DECREASES GAS VOLUME!!!

    Interesting.

    If anything, as a major factor, the balls' pressure is vastly overinflated, and the extreme variations in temperature and precipitation in which games are played are far more important in affecting the feel of a ball.

    Since much of the media is obsessing over it, some pertinent questions arise:

    If balls used by the Patriots were under-inflated (by a rumoured 15%) sufficient to alter the feel of the ball in a quarterback's hand, why did not one of the officials who handled and inspected each ball before every play - and they have all done so for many years and must know how a ball should feel - make it an issue of it during the first half?

    What was the pressure of the balls used by the Indianapolis Colts in the first and second halves of the game? Is there any evidence they differed from those used by the Patriots?

    An allegedly under-inflated ball allowed the Patriots to score only 17 points in the first half with Brady under-throwing a receiver to allow an interception, but they scored 28 consecutive points in the second half when they were said to have used "properly inflated" footballs?

    In the first half, Brady completed 11 of 21 passes. In the 2nd half, Brady went 12 for 14. So, how does that demonstrate the advantage of an under-inflated ball?

    The Patriots have been more successful than any other NFL team during the Belichick/Brady years, and the deflated hopes of those they have vanquished are the major factor here.

    If it can be proven that anyone employed by Robert Kraft mistakingly believed that releasing a little air would impart the advantage of a baseball pitcher's illegal spitball, there should be a price to pay, but that does not alter the team's winning record.

    Only better competition can overcome that.

    If you or anyone else Googles what Colts Linebacker D'Qwell Jackson has stated that WHAT THE COLTS OWNERSHIP IS CLAIMING HAPPENED DID NOT HAPPEN!!!!

    D'Qwell Jackson was able to intercept a pass by Tom Brady in the Endzone preventing a Patriots Touchdown and D'Quell Jackson states that he was excited to have been able to intercept a Football thrown by as he put it...."A Great Player like Tom Brady....so after I intercepted the ball I asked that the ball be brought into our Locker Room so it wouldn't get lost so I could keep it as a souvenier."

    Jackson will be playing in the PRO BOWL and reporters caught up with Jackson there and began to ask him to confirm some of the statements coming from the COLTS OWNERSHIP.

    Jackson was asked if the statements of the Colts Ownership were true such as the statement by the Colts Ownership that when D'Qwell Jackson intercepted Brady's pass he thought that the Football felt SOFT....and that because of this he asked members of the Colts Coaching Staff to take that Football into the Locker Room and have it TESTED to see if it was properly inflated.

    Jackson responded to this question by saying.....HE NEVER ASKED THE COLTS COACHING STAFF TO CHECK THE BALL...HE NEVER AT ANY TIME EITHER THOUGHT OR FELT THAT THE FOOTBALL WAS OR FELT UNDER INFLATED.....AND THAT CONTRARY TO THE STATEMENTS BY THE COLTS OWNERSHIP THAT HE D'QWELL JACKSON AS A PLAYER OF THE COLTS ASKED THE COLTS OWNERSHIP TO ASK THE NFL TO INVESTIGATE AND TEST THE FOOTBALL HE INTERCEPTED FROM TOM BRADY.

    THE COLTS OWNERSHIP HAS LIED AND TOLD THE NFL THAT THEIR PLAYER D'QWELL JACKSON ASKED THEM THE COLTS OWNERSHIP TO REQUEST AN OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION WHEN THEIR PLAYER D'QWELL JACKSON NEVER.....NEVER....NEVER....RE QUESTED THE COLTS TO DO SO ON HIS BEHALF!!!
