The Official CE&HST Super Bowl Thread

[spookyturtle 9,465]

I realize many of you like to talk about the same things day in and day out. What a bunch of boring people. It's time for an important discussion, football. Real football of the NFL variety, not that sissy soccer stuff.

It will be an exciting game as the Pats and Seahawks battle it out. And Pete Carroll was the Pats coach who was fired and replaced by Mr. Bill. Pete cheated in college, Bill cheated in the NFL. Two unscrupulous, immoral men playing a game of chess, each trying to out fox the other. And Fox is now the new Bears coach. He couldn't get it done with Peyton Manning as his QB, so I doubt he can get it done with Jay Cutlet. ( That's a dig in case my old friend Scandal sees this thread. )

Thoughts, predictions............GO PATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring that trophy back home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,

If the balls are over inflated the Pats may have a chance but if not Seattle's defense will mess up pretty boy and make him cry.

If the footballs were tampered with after the pre game inspection, heads should roll. If Belichick is behind this, and if it's true he had to know about it, Kraft should fire him. This would be a second serious offense and it should not be tolerated. Someone had to let the air out and I doubt the ball boy would have done it on his own. As a long time fan, I will be extremely disappointed if this is true. It's a slap in the face to the NFL, football fans and to the hard working players on this team.

It is only a game.

Report: 11 of Patriots' game balls were underinflated

ESPN reported late Tuesday night the Patriots had 11 of their 12 allotted game footballs underinflated by 2 pounds per square inch for Sunday's AFC championship game rout of the Indianapolis Colts, citing "league sources either involved or familiar with the investigation."

NFL spokesman Michael Signora said in an email the league is "not commenting on the matter at this time."

So how much cheating should you allow in the game . It was a blow out but what if it came down to just a few points between winning and loosing ?

Just ask Team Red Bull. NASCAR selected Brian Vickers’ No. 83 car at random to go to the NASCAR R&D center, pictured here, for a post-race inspection after Martinsville.

There it was discovered that the team’s fabricators had shaved the thickness of the sheet metal on the car, allowing weight to be positioned low and left on the car. Believe me that would have made a huge advantage at a flat short track like Martinsville.

Crew chief Kevin Hamlin and car chief Craig Smokstad have been sentenced to NASCAR’s version of the electric chair – indefinite suspension. Plus a $100,000 fine.

That should be applied right now with the patriots.... Send the colts to the super bowl.

If this was discovered at halftime, were correctly inflated balls used for the second half? I can't imagine the officials allowing the under inflated bals to be used once discovered and I doubt they only used one ball for the second half. I hope the league makes a report soon.

They were properly inflated in a warm area with warm air, and lost pressure when brought outside. Honest mistake, that is the story and they are sticking to it. Amonton's Gas Law.

Go Hawks! I am hoping that Richard Sherman gets a chance to reprise his 'You mad bro?'

It's the same thing this year as last year.

Wilson's rumored to be getting a 20+ million a year extension. He makes some big plays but that's a lot for what he brings to the table. Seahawks better win now.

I miss the cop cars painted Houston Oiler Blue.

and I miss the Houston Oilers.

Sure, they morphed into the Nashville Nuggets , but it was sad to see them go, the astrodome closed, and AstroWorld shut.
