Both teams provided game balls. Another Belichick witch hunt.

Since the refs handled the ball EVERY play due to the rain this just seems to be so much BS

People just envious of the continued success of the franchise

I think they put helium in the ball used by Wilson in Seattle at the end of the game in overtime to get it over the head of the defense then floated down to the receiver.

I hear Belichek kidnapped the Lindbergh baby too.

I'm shocked to see the MA crowd chiming in strongly in favor of the Patriot's organization...

What are folks anywhere else on the planet thinking about it?

[vqdriver]

hehe. sounds more like a kiffin stunt to me.

[pinkshogun]

watch for the Pats cornerbacks using Flubber on their shoes

[josephr]

losing a 1st round draft pick might not be so bad --- might help them with their salary cap woes.

[93legendti]

Go Pats. That's my view from Michigan.

[Bruce K]

Pretty sure Brady restructuring a couple of weeks ago solved a lot of the cap issues

Or did you miss that?

Granted I am a pats fan, but with that understood. . . .

The officiating crew literally could not tell a kicking ball from a throwing ball in the 3rd quarter. Given the originator of this story is a Indiana reporter this has a long, long, long way to go before it becomes something of any concern. Also, PV=nRT - it's science, it's fact, it's scientific fact.

Patriots all the way - Belichick is playing chess, the others are playing checkers. He got a TD to a guy who went to BROWN for cripes sake.

Shhhh! Don't expose the secret. Brown is ultimate feeder program :P

It's not a witch hunt if the guy has a proven history of being a dirt ball.

Holding the '07 thing out there as "history" is about as legit as holding Lewinsky against Clinton. It's one step shy of asking for his birth certificate. A ton of NFL coaches said "if you aren't doing that, then you're not trying" - the kid was, literally, 3 feet from line marker when he recorded it.

Now, as for coaching itself - gets Blount back from on waivers (this means the steelers just let him go), dude scores 4 TDs in a playoff game. Routinely has league minimum receivers with thousand yard reception years. Has a winning record on EVERY team in the NFL save for the NY Giants (which only show that he is human). Met a wrestler at the gym, brought him onto the offensive line - guy played for 3 years.

The man is on a different planet. It's a witch hunt. Look at Baltimore - cried like babies - over a totally legit way to play the game. Hurry up offense - everyone used to cry over it, now everyone does it.
