I dislike both coaches. I really dislike one QB (Brady) and could care less about the other (Bert's boy for a year). Ebner seems to be the only Buckeye on a roster (NE) and Meyer has been in talks with Hoodie, so... Rooting for the commercials again until the Browns hire me as the GM (Seriously I could take BP's advice and put together a better draft roster than what we've seen).

I don't pass up chances to root for Marshawn Lynch. He's the most fun player in a league that's virtually bereft of fun.

Not that there's anything to it...but the greatest Karma for cheaters is to get caught when you didn't have to cheat.

@mortreport: NFL has found that 11 of the Patriots footballs used in Sunday’s AFC title game were under-inflated by 2 lbs each, per league sources.
cheating when they didn't have too..
So we get a Super Bowl of Cheatin Pete and his former team which is following his lead

Wetzel with the $64k question
@DanWetzel: So 11 Patriots footballs were under inflated by 2 lbs, per ESPN. Minimum is 12.5 lbs. How do refs not notice? Either before or during game?
@DanWetzel: That's 16 percent under inflated. A LB for the Colts, who rarely touches the ball, notices. But not the refs? Strange story.

HTTR Forever.
People like to down play the effect that deflating the balls had on the game. Did the Patriots need to cheat? Probably not.
But let me ask a question, and bear with me a minute: Game 7 of the ALCS, in the middle of the 4th inning, the Third Base coach catches a foul ball and realizes that the balls being used by the home team's pitcher has better seams than the visitor's pitcher. Or that the ball is slightly softer. Does he immediately stop the game and demand that the umpires inspect the baseballs being used by the home team? Does he take it to his manager, who then contacts his GM who then contacts the main office, who then calls the head umpire to look into it?
Granted, this scenerio isn't possible because baseball handles the situation differently. Baseball will take runs off the board if that catch a corked bat, or too much pine tar, or whatever.
