NFL Deflate Gate-deflating game balls and cheating.

Is deflate gate all hype and a diversion from other NFL issues like injuries and abuse? Has attendance or interest in the NFL peaked out. Lower attendance is expected for Super Bowl. Maybe people are tired of the same team showing up in the finals. But lower attendance could be the beginning of an interest decline.

First people stop going to games, then stop buying souvenirs and then omg stop watching, then there goes advertising revenue. Is this what the NFL is trying to avoid?

There was a decline in college bowl attendance this year as well.

But back to cheating. Many say the games are already fixed, rigged or scripted. Gambling influence has dogged the league for years.

IF the NFL & employees have stooped to low levels before why not play a game with low balls, ooops ment reduced air pressure game balls.

I agree, wasn't it the New England Patriots and their coach Belichick who was caught spying on another team's defensive signals? http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3018338

Pro Sports always seem to have some sort of "cheating" going on. Usually it is related to some of the players taking banned drugs, etc. With the huge sums of money involved in these "sports", it is only natural that the participants are always looking for some way to give themselves an "Edge". In this case, the solution seems rather simple....the teams should turn their footballs over to a NFL agent prior to the game, for inspection and testing of proper air pressure, etc., and then the officials control the balls throughout the game. With the many millions of dollars the NFL rakes in during these games, the cost of hiring a "neutral" official to oversee these game balls would seem to be rather insignificant.
 
Belichick, Brady, and Balls

Top of all the news, and the only news in New England, was what happened with many wanting to blame the weather, but it was more like an early spring day at the game so I don't think that cold weather was the cause. Seeing that the coach has been caught cheating before methinks that he is the culprit, but it will be hard to prove if the actual deflator was paid off early in the season with the promise to keep his mouth shut.
 
I would appreciate it if these dudes would put the word "foot" in front of "balls" when they are talking about it. Then I wouldn't be spitting out my cheetos everytime I hear them.
 
I love football.

Now the next time I watch a game I will wonder who rigged it.

They claim that the hits cause brain damage, instead of finding the problem just ban football.
 
This is not a mild case of lying or cheating. This is a major case of hype. Slow week in the NFL and sports in general. This IS hype.

This is one of those rules that the NFL and even other teams & players looked the other way because they know it goes on and/or they do something similar. I've heard people say the league did it to keep scoring high from quarterbacks having better ball control. Baseball did the same thing with the loaded ball in the 90s and is why they tolerated/neglected steroid use. Again most sports benefit from high scoring.

What's really the frustrating part is the lying that is now going on to cover up for themselves and the league. Brady is lying. Even if he gave an order to a ball boy 10 years ago-deflate the balls anytime a ball boy is hired someone else tells them this is what 'we' do the balls to give Brady, the coach and team plausible deniability. It's done wink-wink. Brady even lobbied for a customized ball in 2006 so if he felt a custom ball was that necessary to his career he probably already knew how a custom ball would perform in a game from experience.

Also keep in mind as sports media pointed out. The reason only 11 of 12 balls were deflated is that the kicker needs a full ball.

Many of Brady's former colleagues and commentators think he is lying.

This is just one way the NFL indirectly controls the outcome of the game for the gamblers who are the leagues bread and butter even if it's the weekly hack football fan playing a pool or fantasty league because are the people that watch and generate revenue for the networks and thus the league.

There will be fines and reprimands for this SHOW. This isn't about cheating it's abut lying and looking the other way which many American employees do every day on their job for pay and that's why this practice remained in the shadows for decades.

Forget cheating this is about lying and HYPE.
