"Patriots did cheat": NFL

[DrLeftover]

The Patriots used underinflated footballs on Sunday night.

The next question is how did it happen?

According to a National Football League letter about the investigation into the controversy that was shared with the Globe, the Patriots were informed that the league’s initial findings indicated that the game balls did not meet specifications. The league inspected each of the Patriots’ 12 game balls twice at halftime, using different pressure gauges, and found footballs that were not properly inflated.

According to ESPN, 11 of the 12 game balls were found to be underinflated by about 2 pounds each. The NFL specifications say they must be inflated to 12½ to 13½ pounds.

Anybody surprised by the fact that the Patriots cheated? If the rule was that if you are caught cheating, you FORFEIT that game. Then they'll quit doing it. As they will still play for the Championship, the NFL is endorsing the practice, just telling them "don't get caught next time", they'll do it again.

I'm wondering if we can get Puppy Bowl online Sunday instead of watching the Cheaters play.

before i comment, i'd need a few questions answered...

1): why don't the nfl officials deal with the official game balls themselves instead on the home teams?
2): did both teams play with the balls? if so then how is it cheating?
3): did anyone cash in a lot of money? could be corruption involved if so...
