This whole thing is in the Patriots hands.
Admit that SOMEHOW they screwed up. They don't know how they screwed up. They take responsibility for the mistake.They will take extra care to make sure that in the future their game balls will be within regulations.
That would end it.
How exactly do you take responsibility for something...when you have no idea how it happened? This might not be a screw up of the New England Patriots at all. If the balls that they gave to the officials were at the very low end of the acceptable scale...or even a little below it...and were deemed acceptable by the referee...then because of use or weather conditions lost pressure over the course of the first half then I'm having a hard time seeing how THAT is a "screw-up" by the Patriots.
That's assuming of course that the referee of the game did in fact measure the balls in question correctly...something that so far nobody has shown me has been proven. We're being asked to take that as a given that he did because he said that he did. Well did he? Did he painstakingly measure the pressure of each of the 36 balls to be used in the game? Or did he simply pick up the balls and give them a squeeze test? If so is he going to admit that if a subsequent uproar ensues over ball pressure? Or is he going to say..."Yes, I tested each of the balls...just the way I'm supposed to!"
I'm sorry, Kiddies but the jury is not only still "out" on this topic...we haven't even heard the evidence yet!
It doesn't matter what really happened. What matters is getting the media off the blood trail.
Haven't you ever been married and got caught in some kind of a jam that was no way your fault but the little woman just won't let it go? And YOU being the smarter part of the partnership just smiles and says.."you are absolutely right dear".
So your wife accuses you of sleeping with her best friend...which you didn't do...but because she won't "let it go"...you smile at her and say "you are absolutely right dear"?
Tell me how that works out for ya', Huggy!
Dunno! I'm not married any more. And it's not because of her best friend. I got rid of her because SHE was sleeping around.
I could see why, you spend all day obsessed with a football team that doesn't know you are alive and doesn't care.
For that matter...neither does his ex-wife...
