Everyone worked themselves into a lather over Tom Brady (mostly out of jealousy). Now it's Big Ben's turn. Wonder if he'll get a suspension? Doubt it.

Giants are snitches? Shocking. Shocking I tell you. New York would never -- wait a mo:

Eli Manning

Time for the NFL to cling ever tighter to their savior: Colin Rinky-dink!

Or you could just post the link without whining about people hating New England.

Suspension?

Do you really think there will even be an investigation? That the league will pour millions of dollars and spend months investigating this?

Not a chance.

Agreed. Only NE is subject to such scrutiny.

It's the ever lurking green-eyed monster at work.

Come on now, it doesn't take a genius to read between the lines. The entire post and title of the thread suggest people hating on New England I don't see how that is even debatable.

Unless there is a BALL BOY in Pittsburgh spending in inordinate amount of time with the BALLS in a bathroom and also has saved text conversations with Big Ben concerning such BALLS, there will be no investigation.

Why would those things need to occur?

They didn't occur in New England....

Absent an investigation, there's no way of knowing.

But throw millions of dollars at this and something will come up. It might not be this, but it will be something. That's the NFL.

Like Green Bay. Could've thrown millions of dollars investigating their QB who admittedly loves inflating the ball beyond what is allowed. But the NFL didn't. Hell, all they might've found is vague innuendo, but when did that ever stop the NFL from massive fines and a suspension?

But like I said, they didn't. Nor will they with Pittsburgh. Nor do I think they should have in the case of the Packers or should in the case of the Steelers. But a little consistency would be nice.

Not that I expect such things from the NFL or those who make excuses for Goodell so long as they approve of the ox he's goring...
