Why do I suspect it will turn out to be nothing...

This whole thing is beyond stupid.
They're so late to their own conference...

Coughlin would've benched them for the whole year
probably to

Ballboy accuses

Brad Johnson of bribing him
Belichick at the mic:  
Anakim : 1/24/2015 3:10 pm : link
Sharing some information:

Did his own investigation on game-day ball preparations....trying to be as helpful as he can.



BTW, with the amount of times he says "balls," jokesters should have a field day editing this. "I've handled dozens of balls over the past week."
No major announcement  
RodneyHamp : 1/24/2015 3:10 pm : link
BB just talking to the media, according to the beat reporters.
Claiming their pregame process to the balls  
montanagiant : 1/24/2015 3:13 pm : link
Raise the psi by 1 pound...But he fails to say what level PSI they were at prior to their process, it really is not making sense
Sounds like he is passing blame to the officials

so this is just another bullshit festival  
WeatherMan : 1/24/2015 3:14 pm : link
with copious references to ball handling. Blaming the officials and the climate. LOL. Newsflash pal - if the temperature was at fault the balls the Colts used would've presented with the same issue.
this is a bullshit press conference  
B in ALB : 1/24/2015 3:15 pm : link
Typical patriots double speak and little bill talking out both sides of his mouth. Whatever. Can they start the game a week early please?
.  
Phlegm : 1/24/2015 3:15 pm : link


lol...Now he claims that because they rub the balls real good  
montanagiant : 1/24/2015 3:16 pm : link
Which then cause The atmospheric conditions to create activity in the balls that makes them drop pressure by at least 1 lb..

Yeah but he knows al he has to do is give enough to where most average fan, or Patriot fanatic will buy it.
So the line of defense they will be using is that they  
montanagiant : 1/24/2015 3:17 pm : link
Use a special rubbing process that combined with the weather that day that cause these balls to rapidly lose 2 lbs of pressure in one half. What that fails to answer though is why when refilled, did they not lose 2 lbs again by the end of the game.
Atmospheric conditions and equalibrium  
Giants2012 : 1/24/2015 3:18 pm : link
Love it

Pats are organized.

If all footballs are the same then why does the NFL allow QB's a chioce between many?

Belichick is killing it lol
Good Lord, what a boring press conference  
Anakim : 1/24/2015 3:18 pm : link
And having Belichick be the keynote speaker doesn't exactly help the entertainment cause. At the very least, they'll be plenty of "ball jokes" that'll come from this conference.



Belichick must've said balls at least 200 times by now
BALLS!  
steve in ky : 1/24/2015 3:19 pm : link
.
He keeps trying to use the texture of the ball  
montanagiant : 1/24/2015 3:19 pm : link
As being the real issue with the league, the 2 lbs under-inflation is not as vital
Belichick is just fucking with the media  
Ben in Tampa : 1/24/2015 3:19 pm : link
For all their foolishness around this stupid story
Funny how BB's sarcastic side and his disdain for  
jvm52106 : 1/24/2015 3:20 pm : link
media questions etc has been replaced with a "studious" and very informative BB. What a joke.
he's mocking the media

right in their fuckin grill. Well done.

I'm back to rooting for the 'Hawks..
whole problem with BB is....  
BillKo : 1/24/2015 3:22 pm : link
it's been proved the Pat haven't followed the letter of the law in the past. In fact, they've gone to extreme measure to cheat.....so he shouldn't be pissed when this happens.

They look guilty.

by handling many different inflated balls
Dazzling them with BS  
hocuspocus : 1/24/2015 3:25 pm : link
This is great.

I had to laugh when he said they always follow the rules.
Can he please say footballs  
steve in ky : 1/24/2015 3:25 pm : link
Balls, balls, balls....
The biggest question I have  
BGaff : 1/24/2015 3:25 pm : link
is that he is saying that the refs are responsible for inflating the balls before the game and it is their discretion as to whether it ends up at 12.5 or whatever. This is not consistent with how I've understood the pregame process, where I thought the team inflated the footballs and then had them inspected.
LOL...He just went all scientific with this smoke and mirror excuse  
montanagiant : 1/24/2015 3:26 pm : link
And then when the first question comes out that deals with some of his measurements he responds with:
"I'm not a scientist"

The man is great, he has no shame
I love it that someone asked about the video taping  
steve in ky : 1/24/2015 3:26 pm : link

The fickle media doesn't have the education to even have a competent discussion.

Great job Belichick.
HA..Its the friction from rubbing it that did it..

Great question just asked  
steve in ky : 1/24/2015 3:30 pm : link
Since they didn't do anything wrong, would they do anything different for the next game.

BB was a little at a loss of words for a moment

Phoenix is indoors and a more controlled evnvironment ;)

Love Belichick lol
OK so if their process of rubbing it down  
steve in ky : 1/24/2015 3:37 pm : link
caused the pressure to elevate so the officials didn't know, and then it went back down due to the elements. Wouldn't the Pats have had to underinflate the ball originally for it to return to that level in the end?
Good one Anak
