Like the NFL REALLY cares about the air pressure in the balls.......

LOL! This is just too comical to be real. In one of the most important games of the playoff, the Refs leave the kicking balls and air pressure gauges at the hotel.

Unless its the Patriots involved the NFL is not concerned
The New Orleans Saints might think otherwise.
Both teams like to cheat.
Still jealous of NE? They are only in the AFC championship AGAIN no big deal lol
Just pointing out a fact.
As am I
I don't care for steroid users either. I was brought up in a time where integrity mattered, now it seems like that doesn't matter to many people.
Glad you agreed that NE cheats, at least you aren't delusional.
Actually I am MUCH more dismayed at NO behavior in their Super Bowl year, when they were offered a bounty on hurting the other teams players. It's one thing to hit an opponent as hard as you can to try to intimidate them, but to intentionally try to injure makes me sick.
But they won the big game so I guess it's OK!?!?!?!?!?
I no longer enjoy sports as much as I used to.
By the way, the internet is great.

Who's your team, hmm?
And how exactly did NE cheat this year to get to where they are at?

Awesome link! Although you will not get anything from people here that have already decided that the Pats are the only team that has ever done anything wrong and again its because they are sick of them WINNING.
The sound you hear is the air being let out of Goodell's head
a couple of snipet's
And despite the NFL stripping New England of a first-round pick, fining it $1 million and millions of fans still believing the story, you actually have to wonder if deflate-gate is finally dead … at least to anyone still paying attention. Namely, there appears to be a scientific consensus, if not unanimous opinion, that those footballs were never illegally deflated.
Most of the attention on the scandal has involved the circumstantial evidence, the leaking of false and prejudicial information, the invention of testimony, the federal court drama, the humor, the alibis, the excuses, the "deflator," New York tabloid headlines, the everything.
It's been wild, an all-time great media soap opera. It was easy to believe something happened. Yet early on scientists began arguing that the entire thing was really a misunderstanding of Ideal Gas Law. Bill Belichick even tried to explain it.
The problem at the time is the arguments were being made with false data supplied by the NFL (which vastly overstated the numbers) and no information on how it was collected or any surrounding circumstances. That allowed someone such as "Bill Nye the Science Guy" to counter Belichick's rudimentary defense in an analysis so shallow and unscientific it was comical (it was literally on "Funny or Die").

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
NE's cheating seems minor, but the people who get caught are usually the worst offenders. Bountygate was by far a worse example of poor sportsmanship, trying to hurt and possibly end the career of an opposing player is reprehensible.
As far as being jealous. NOT. Any fool knows that if someone cheats and wins they get complained about the loudest. If someone cheats and loses they just get laughed at.
By the way, the teams I follow are from my home state Minnesota, so the Vikings are "my" team. I am not proud of amplifying the crowd noise that they did. That was wrong.
Stop trying to justify ANY cheating. I know I am in the minority and that's just sad.
As I stated before, I thought the Packers fans were delusional, but you NE guys have them beat! I also NEVER said NE cheated THIS year, but by your own statements EVERYONE does it, so I guess that must mean NE is still cheating.
Envious of NE? I would rather be a fan of a team that competes honestly and doesn't win than one that cheats and has a great win/loss record. What makes no sense to me is that they have such a good team they shouldn't have to cheat.

It seems that the Vikings were actually bigger cheaters than the Pat's. Denver by far and away are considered the biggest cheaers according to this site,

While this website has some good information, it is obviously a VERY opinion driven site.
I can only repeat what I have said, I don't enjoy sports nearly as much as I once did.
Rather, we probably just become more cranky with age, and more easily annoyed.
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
It does seem rather draconian to deprive yourself of the pleasure of watching professional sports because one team or another tried to bend or even break the rules. The beauty of the game is same as it ever was.

A site bought and paid for by NE fans or perhaps the organization itself. As a techie, I've rarely seen someone go to the lengths this site owner has to hide their identity. Just the Steelers section mostly debunked: Link

Just total coincidence the site was created in the middle of the Deflategate controversy (Feb 2015) and the top 4 'cheaters' are longstanding NE rivals

Just more of the old "everybody does/did it" way of thinking. You couldn't be more wrong.

That really is true. 'Cheating' is as old as sports itself. From cutting the grass very short when a small ball team comes to town, to refrigerating balls...and deflating balls(which ironically, among all the things considered cheating in the history of sports, this one actually isn't proven to be true, is of minor significance, and yet gets the most hate).
Spot on about the media coverage too. Not only was coverage not as intense, but the guys who did cover the teams back then hid things under the table quite often.
