Bill Simmons looking to get himself suspended again...

 

[Snoogz]

So when will Bilichick get his one year suspension from the NFL? How many infractions does it take to finally succumb to a punishment that he will remember?

 

[HRoi]

Yeah, I'm sure that's the reason the Colts lost 45-7

What's this?! HRoi defending the Pats??

It's a witch hunt, I tell ya. LawrenceMD, Archie, where you at?

Oh. You just wanted the smart Pats fans.

I'm not, but I'll still call out BS and excuses when I see them. Was rooting hard for either the Ravens or Colts to send them packing, but I can't see any rational reason for people to say that they didn't win those games or deserve to be in the SB.

I'd prolly agree that they need to levy progressively larger fines for repeat/unremorseful offenders like the Patriots, but no one should be saying that they shouldn't be in the SB

This ball thing is definitely an NFL conspiracy to create narrative for the Superbowl.

WTF Patriots I mean come on man... They make it so hard to root for them.

Also, **** NFL for leaking this **** before officially releasing the results.

Testing the court of public opinion. They've fucked up so many punishments it makes sense

Reading through this, I cannot find anything about the balls used by the Colts. Anyone see something on this?

 

[cross22]

Each team brings their own balls.

Lol, NE fans keep asking about the colts balls. They are also blaming the change in temperature.

I like the prediction that Goodell, Kraft, BB will pin this on some hapless ball boy.

It's a fair qustion and one that should logically be asked. If the same thing happened with the Colts, either both teams did something shady or there's another explanation. It's only a story if only NE's balls were different and there is evidence of wrongdoing.
