Yes it's seems far fetched he chose to risk it vs Dallas in week one.

There is something in his ear though, and we know damn well he comes from a team who has no quandares with bending the rules to gain an advantage.

So let's not act like it isn't reasonable to wonder what was in her ear.

I dont believe he cheated (this game) but I'd still love an answer.

I just don't worry about stupid stuff like this. Don't they use an ear piece in helmets? Does this ear piece somehow make him better? Or is it like the deflated ball, completely and utterly meaningless? Fine him for the ear piece if he wasn't supposed to have one and be done with it. They beat us on the field, that's all that matters.

So we believe Goodell about Brady but we don't believe him when it comes to Zeke.

Personally I don't believe anything from the NFL and Goodell.

whats to believe regarding Zeke? The NFLs own investigative team found nothing worth punishing Zeke about but Goodell just did it anyway.
Brady mysteriously smashed his phone into a million pieces. If you believe he did cheat, they needed to forfeit that SB trophy, otherwise anything less and you’ve rewarded cheating.

If we're talking about real cheating to win games then I'd agree. But if we're talking about a few PSI short in a football, to call it cheating is ridiculous. If you've played football and you know you're the better team, you couldn't care one iota what the opposing team does with their football. Not even a little bit. As players it would be embarrassing to even bring it up.

LOL, if it wasn’t important why were they doing it and hiding it?

Whether you think it was important or not they thought it was important to do and to hide it

Because it's a rule. And breaking rules, regardless of what they are, and or what impact they have, have consequences.

For example, I'm a toll collector and I am not allowed to take a 20 out of my pocket and change it for two 10s out of my drawer. I do it all the time but if I was asked I would never admit to doing it. Because we're not supposed to do it. Yet there's no harm no foul.

the smartest HC in NFL history who micro manages every single detail and the best QB in NFL history we’re doing something they knew was illegal for years and years for absolutely no reason

that is your stance

We're talking about PSI in a football. It's a non issue. Those that think it is either have a hatred or never played a game of football in their life. Go buy a football from a sporting goods store. It's going to have a recommended PSI. No one cares. Brady probably felt a bit more comfortable with it slightly under recommended pressure. The Patriots still won the SB that year. It's a non factor.

Isnt Rodgers known for over inflating his balls?
