The goat has spoken! I don't care about how much they won by against the Colts. They cheated and should be disqualified.

You should be DQed from the Internet but life goes on.

If it means DQing the Patriots I'll take one for the team.

In all seriousness they really shouldn't be allowed to play in the Superbowl if all of this is true.

Did they prove a similar scandal in the Ravens game? If not, then no redo for Baltimore.

Doesn't explain how the Colts couldn't score more then 7 pts in the first half, and 0 pts in the second half after the ball(s) was replaced. They also let in 3 rushing TDs, if the Colts were close to a win I'd consider it. Take the draft picks and move on, now no other QB will be able to defile balls in the future. Did Brad Johnson win the Superbowl by having someone take care of those footballs? Then shouldn't the Bucs lose that championship and give it to the Raiders?

Deflategate: Baltimore Ravens tipped off Indianapolis Colts about New England Patriots' deflating footballs | FOX Sports

Did they prove a similar scandal in the Ravens game? If not, then no redo for Baltimore.

The Baltimore Ravens tipped off the Indianapolis Colts going into the AFC title game about the Patriots doctoring the air in footballs, according to FOX Sports NFL Insider Jay Glazer.
According to Glazer, the NFL was already planning to inspect the balls at halftime, despite D'Qwell Jackson's interception originally being reported as the cause.

Who knows?

All of that is irrelevant IMO. They cheated and that's strike two. Slap on the wrist and let them cheat another day? Fuck that. The 2002 Superbowl, as much as I'd like that Lombardi to go to Oakland, that ship has sailed. They can still do something about this current situation.

Show anger towards everyone equally, don't just be a hater to be a hater...hater.

If everyone were doing it, I'm sure many teams would have been caught IN THE ACT. At least TWICE.

I'd love to see the NBA have a situation like this, considering they just railroaded one owner for what he SAID. I'd love to see the hammer fall on someone openly (and getting caught) cheating TWICE. You are looking at the integrity of the game in this.

You have other QBs saying that things are done to football, one that occurred in 2002 and was recounted in a story in 2012, you'd have thought the NFL would have taken more steps to controlling the footballs.

Tampa Bay Times reporter Rick Stroud recounted the story he originally published in 2012, when the 2002 Bucs were honored during the 10th anniversary of their championship season. Johnson told Stroud he shelled out $7,500 to ensure "the balls were scuffed and ready" when the title game kicked off in San Diego.

What about Aaron Rodgers possibly admitting to doing something to his balls?

Via Mike Reiss of ESPNBoston.com, at least one possibly does. Reiss notes that, during the November 30 game between the Packers and Patriots on CBS, Jim Nantz and Phil Simms discussed the preference by quarterback Aaron Rodgers for overinflated balls.

“‘I like to push the limit to how much air we can put in the football, even go over what they allow you to do and see if the officials take air out of it,'” Simms said Rodgers told them before the game.

Everyone is screaming integrity, but those who've admitted or has to been known to done something should be reprimanded with the same hate as well. Give Oakland their Superbowl, Give Pittsburgh their Superbowl. Vacate wins. Do it all!

The officials likely did take air out of it.

They dropped the ball on this one. Either that or they're in on it. Who knows at this point. If the Patriots legitimately did this then they shouldn't be allowed to continue their season and they don't have a great reputation to back them up on this either.
