I Am The Most Football Inquestion

The NFL is investigating whether the New England Patriots intentionally deflated footballs during their victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Sunday's rain-soaked AFC Championship Game.

Tom Brady and the New England Patriots were accused of deflating footballs to give them an advantage in the January 18th AFC Championship game against the Indianapolis Colts. Deflated footballs are easier to grip and throw, giving their team a direct advantage over the Colts. The Indianapolis Colts equipment manager first suspected the balls did not meet the NFL’s minimum standard right before half time and after measuring the balls he notified officials. Most all of the balls the Patriots had were not measuring to the correct standard and they found that Tom Brady knew of the violation and said nothing. Punishment from the NFL was a one million fine, four game suspension without pay and the loss of not only their 1st round draft pick in 2016 but also their 4th round draft pick in 2017. In addition, the two equipment staffers responsible for the incident were also indefinitely suspended. (ESPN.com) However, Tom Brady recently won his court appeal overruling the 4 game suspension and will be a starting player in the upcoming

When it comes to sports, a competitive mindset is key. In American football, it’s hard not to win without communication and teamwork. In the NFL playoffs of 2015, the New England Patriots beat the Indianapolis Colts 45-7 for the AFC Championship. In a game that originally portrayed the Patriots as an offensive force to be reckoned with, ended out to be a game that goes down in history. After further investigation, the NFL found 11 of the Patriots' 12 footballs in the game to be underinflated by about 2 pounds below the NFL’s requirement. Now whether the allegations are determined to be true or not, it does raise some speculation about the truth of the AFC

The auctioned Deflategate football, is the only football from either the 2014 AFC Championship game or the Patriot’s Super Bowl win over the Seattle Seahawks that was ever available to the

I do believe that the New England Patriots deflated footballs in the American Football Conference championship game against the Indianapolis Colts. The game was held on January 18, 2015, at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts. The National Football League requires footballs to be inflated between 12.5 and 13.5 pounds per square inch of air (2016 NFL Rulebook). Before halftime the Colts’ linebacker, D’Qwell Jackson, intercepted a pass from the Patriots’ quarterback, Tom Brady. Later, Jackson said the football appeared spongy, which describes the texture of an underinflated ball (Deflategate Timeline). At halftime all twelve of the Patriots’ footballs were measured, and all twelve were below the minimum pressure (Deflategate). After the game when the National Football League launched an investigation, they hired Ted Wells to

Numerous former employees say the Patriots would have someone rummage through the visiting team hotel for playbooks or scouting reports. The whole league knows the Patriots are cheaters and they cover their tracks after they leave Boston. The deflategate was no accident; it was a purposeful act. The Patriots claim innocence in the incident. The Patriots are not victims because other teams claim Patriots have cheated against them, Former Patriot employees claim they were asked to cheat for the team, and Patriots claims about weather conditions are false.

The New England Patriots were playing the Indianapolis Colts in the 201 AFC(American Football Conference) Championship. The New England Patriots were playing theIndianapolis Colts. At halftime of the game, the referees found footballs that were “deflated”.But, I don’t believe it happened. It was cold and rainy, which means that the footballs could havenaturally deflated. The football in an NFL game have to be 12.5 PSI-13.5 PSI (Pounds PerSquare Inch).It doesn’t add up that the Patriots deflated the footballs. They scored 17 points in the firsthalf, but after the referees supposedly fixed the deflated footballs, the Patriots scored morepoints in the second half, at 28. The Patriots ended up going and winning Super Bowl“XLIX”. They beat the Seattle Seahawks, 28-24.Fifteen months later, the NFL disciplined the Patriots for DeflateGate. They lost a 1stround draft pick in 2016 and a 4th round draft pick in 2017.

It is a no shocker that most people do know how surreptitiously NFL conducts its investigations; also in New England people are still consumed by the DeflateGate outrage. For this reason, a great percentage of people in the Northeast could only wonder what exactly was going on during the investigation. The little publicity given to the one

The 1st string MLB got injured so I took the chance to make a play so that I could finally be a starter. The first play was a disaster, I tried to tackle someone but they got away and got a touchdown. The next drive I got two tackles and 1 sack and forced them to punt. I played like that for the rest of the year and became the starter. In my career I averaged 21 tackles, 4 sacks, and 1 interception each game. I won the MVP award two times and went to the Pro Bowl seven times. My team won one out of three Super Bowl’s and I won the Super Bowl MVP once. I broke five world records and was inducted into the NFL Hall of

Last July, a few weeks before the New England Patriots started training camp, I got a call from Donald Yee, the agent in Los Angeles who has represented Tom Brady since he entered the N.F.L. in 2000. It had been four years since I first told Yee that I was interested in writing about Brady, even though I typically cover politics. I grew up in the Boston suburbs, rooted for the Patriots as a kid and even possessed vague memories of watching the team play at Fenway Park, one of their homes before they settled into the nowhereland of Foxborough, Mass., in 1971. My friend Josh and I once wrote a letter to the team’s young quarterback, Jim Plunkett, inviting him to dinner at Josh’s house. (Plunkett never responded.) Their teams were mostly bad, their owner was an embarrassment, their stadium a dump. Yet the Patriots always retained a lovable haplessness about them, with their cute minuteman logos, their A.F.L. lineage and the identity crisis that comes from being named after an entire region instead of a city or state. (The Seattle Seahawks are not the Pacific Northwest Seahawks.)

It all started on January eighteenth, 2015, in a NFL game. The New England Patriots versus the Indianapolis Colts. After an interception by the Colts, linebacker D’Qwell Jackson an equipment manager on the colts sideline measured the psi of the football and found they were underinflated. The allowed psi or pounds per square inch is 12.5 to 13.5. The Patriots balls checked in at 10.5 psi at halftime of the game when NFL officials checked. It was also stated that eleven of twelve footballs were underinflated. The deflation of these balls became one of the biggest scandals in sports for the next 8 months and it is known as deflategate. Deflategate is something minor that the media created and was made into a major deal. There are many flaws and successes in deflategate that will be discussed as Deflategate is picked apart from end to end.

Confetti pouring down as the scoreboard strikes zero. Players hug their coaches celebrating the hard work. But many fans ask themselves, “Did they really win fair and square?” Many believe that the 2014-15 NFL Patriots used deflated footballs to provide an advantage. The team had their footballs well under the NFL standard by at least a pound. The whole event became known as Deflategate. Many started to wonder if it really did give the team an edge. The controversial belief that an underinflated football really does provide an advantage has been a hot debate in the sports world. Footballs under-inflated provide an advantage for being able to spin and throw the ball farther than normal, having an advantage during slippery weather,

In the 2014 AFC Championship game between the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots there was tampering with the footballs, which became known as Deflategate. NFL footballs are supposed to have a PSI (pounds per square inch) between 12.5 and 13.5. The New England Patriot’s footballs at half time were lower than 12.5 and nobody knows how that happened and that’s where the Deflategate Scandal was born. In the three articles I will be analyzing the three sides the Indianapolis Colts , the New England Patriots and the rest of America’s point of views of the Deflategate scandal.

When deflate-gate first happened I thought to myself, why not just tell the truth. Immediately it became a circus. Why try and play the aloof card? There is no doubt in my mind that Tom Brady had something to do with footballs being deflated. It is an absurd thought that an equipment manager of such a high profile quarterback would take a decisions like deflating the footballs into his own hands. The thing that really bugs me about the whole thing, is that if Tom Brady would have just admitted it, or admitted some part to if, this would not even be a big deal. He could have easily just said, I like the footballs closer to the lower end of the PSI level or under. This became a major ordeal because he could not just admit his mistake, he cheated and instead of being honest, he tried to deny it. This teaches and shows what poor character some of the best athletes in the world can have. They think because of their past accomplishments they can bend the rules and get away with cheating.

There has been a lot of debate over the topic of Delfate gate, you may ask what is Deflate gate is. Deflate gate is when the patriots played the colts in the 2015 AFC championship. The New England Patriots were accused of deflating the footballs below the required amount of air. The required amount of air in the national football league is 12.5 to 13.5 psi(pro football talk). Psi stands for pounds per square inch. The patriots were accused of having 7 out of their 11 balls 1.0 to 2.0 psi below the league standard( business insider). In my opinion I do not think the Patriots are cheaters because out of the 45 points scored, 21 of them were scored on rushing touchdowns. Many people claimed it made the balls easier to catch(bradford). Even if
