The Official CE&HST Super Bowl Thread

[Teddy B 17,252]

The local papers and radio are saying that the ball boy went to the men's room for about 90 seconds and took the bag of balls with him. The NFL also stated that the referee checked the balls before the game with a gauge, but he didn't record the pressure. I don't think they are going to find a smoking gun here.

The NFL said that the referee "guaged the balls", not checked the balls with a guage. There could be a big difference between the two. One of the definitions of the word "guage" is "estimate". Something can be guaged simply by looking at it or touching it. I'd be willing to bet that this is all done by look and feel. I seriously doubt that anyone checks 24, or 48 footballs in this particular case, with an air guage before every game.

Spooks, have you seen this story yet?

I didn't catch that, "gauged". The NFL needs to clarify that further. They did state that the pressures were not recorded. I'm thinking that after Mr. Kraft's statement, the NFL has nothing because there is nothing.

The link you provided supports what HeadSmart labs found.

This knucklehead should be fired with the way he has handled things this year! Good job Roger!

"We don't know enough in this case to know who is responsible or if there was an infraction,"

It's been one ** up after another. And remember a year or two ago when 30+ players were arrested after the Super Bowl and before training camp started? Now your going to spend a month or two investigating the air pressure in a football while all the other bs gets swept under the rug. And how about the 9 Seahawk players suspended for PED since 2010. Funny how that doesn't create a nationwide scandal. Fair is fair.

The only player on the field this Sunday suspended for PEDS is Brandon Browner, now with the Patriots.

I stand corrected, Irvin is still with the Hawks

My point was ESPN and the sports media aren't running stories 24/7 about the Seahawks infractions over the years. If it was the Patriots with such a history of PED use, I can only imagine what would be written. How much have you heard about the $300,000 fine the Seahawks got a few years back?

It's all Goodell's fault. Cheaters don't really cheat, just leaders who are not paying close enough attention to:

1. Catch them doing naughty things

2. Know how to control the media to make it appear that a naughty thing is a nice thing.

Your point is that the Hawks should not be viewed as morally superior? Point taken. In the context of the Superbowl does that matter?

I am ready for my prediction :

Seahawks 23, Patriots 17..I am assuming that Richard Sherman is 100%

Katy Perry will win it all with two tee tees.
