The New England Patriots Played Against The Indianapolis Braves

It appears that after roughly 18 months of madness, which included false reports, “outside” investigations, Bill Belichick versus Bill Nye “The Science Guy” and a lot headaches, the “Deflategate” scandal has finally come to an end.

This case opened up more suspicion and also caused an effect on people regarding the hidden information that the NFl

After the game in a press conference, Brady complained about the footballs being too heavy.

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.

Concussions are common in many sports, but in particular, football has the most by a majority. Children are the main focus on this topic, because they have a lot more at risk going through a concussion. Many players will lie about a concussion they’ve had in a game so they can keep playing because they will often get little game time in a season and a concussion leads to sitting out longer. Regardless, a player needs to make sure to always prioritize safety. Too many concussions can cause permanent brain damage and that is taking its toll on many athletes today. Overall, I do think we are taking the right steps towards being safer (like better helmets/more tests

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

Deflategate, which is also, humorously known as Ballghazi. The controversy started when someone from the NFL leaked to ESPN correspondent Chris Mortensen false news that 11 of the 12 balls used in the AFC game were 0.5 under the required 12.5 by the league. This set the narrative of presumed tampering with the championship

This year we experienced, according to many, the greatest comeback in sports history. The New England Patriots came back from being down 28-3 to end up winning the Super Bowl against the Atlanta Falcons. The NFL has had many crazy games, but where did it all begin? The NFL, founded in 1920, has morphed greatly since the origin, and has immensely impacted the world of sports.

Just caught the tail end of the Steelers win in the Super Bowl against the Cardinals, shown on the NFL Network. It's hard to convince me that the throw from Ben and catch by Santonio Holmes is not the best ever. Especially, under the circumstances. To win the Superbowl on that play, still amazes

The Patriots continue to roll after winning 27-10 on Sunday over the Redskins. Brandon Lafell got back on track, finishing with five catches and 102 yards. I would say this was the worst the Patriots have looked all season on offense and, despite this, they still scored 27 points easily. The team has scored in and NFL record 31 straight quarters.

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

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 really is amazing how many people are crunched and able to fit in the minuscule stands for a grueling two hours. The Friday night football games are extremely hectic, like passing through a flash mob with loads of blasting music. In the stands and behind the stadium, it is a bloody war zone. The tenseness gets stronger every second in the stands the game continues forward.
