And how minutes of action is in an Action movie, or how many minutes of space battles in a Star Trek movie, or how many minutes of romance in a Romantic movie? Entertainment is always filled with filler - and the NFL is an entertainment business.

A few years ago I attended a small college (so no TV) game. Goes much faster without tv timeouts.

..........Sorry, each team has 12 footballs that ARE THEIRS for use it the game. It has now been determined that 11 of the 12 that were New England's were UNDERINFLATED...............it'll be very interesting to see how this ends up!! maybe a fine, maybe loss of some draft picks or ???????

Binge-drinking and cell-phone staring while a commercial or seven play in the background, since that's what most of "watching the game" has become anyway.

I thought I saw something strange. Lol.



19 Top deflate tweets


Do you guys think it matters in a 45-7 game? Had it been closer than it would be a bigger issue. But something tells me they could of used bricks to play with and still win.

Everyone in America needs to man up, this country is so PC and overly sensitive about anything these days you can't even make a joke even about women, any religion or race without some liberal crying over it. I hate the direction this country is going in, if a team loses the other fan base always cries about the other team cheating to win. I hate sports fans, most of them are idiots.

What's sad is, many people sincerely believe that deflated footballs explain a 38-point margin of victory.

If the deflated balls benefited the Patriots, why didn't they also benefit the Colts? How can deflated balls get by the Officials on the field?

Seems like such woo.

Looking forward to the Hawks kicking some butt, going back 2 back.
