The national media is going nuts! The Patriots are cheater and the Colts are the victims! The NFL is wasting no time investigating the Patriots for such a heinous act. They hope to have some answers in place before the Super Bowl.
This Deflate-Gate is getting on my nerves. The fact is both teams control their own footballs for their quarterbacks. Some like more air some like less, Some like the footballs smoother and some quarterbacks like them scuffed up some. This has probably been happening to some degree for ages. The refs are supposed o check them before each half. They probably forgot to do so. Big deal. Blount ran for 148 yards and 3 TDs and Andrew Luck threw two interceptions and Josh Cribbs lost a fumble. The Patriots were obviously the better team.
The Cowboys on the other hand is the team that really got cheated. Dean Blandino's overturn of Dez Bryant's catch that most likely would have led to a TD in a 5 point game was far more devious in my eyes. The side judge (correctly) ruled that Dez did make enough of a football move and had control until he lost the ball lunging for the goal line. It is quite obvious to me and many others around the NFL that Blandino looked for a reason to overturn the call rather than do what was right.
Where is the national media outrage? Where is the investigation? Where is everyone calling for Blandino's removal? Other than us Cowboys fans, it doesn't exist. If deflate-gate happened to us everyone would assume we deserved it because we got the calls in the Lions game. The hippocracy of the NFL and the media is maddening at times.
