    Belichick just fired the NE ball boy. Reason given was that the 12th ball was properly inflated. IconLOL.gif

    The question is whether he'll replace his own balls with real ones.

    Doubtful. I read or heard this AM that Goodell had dinner with the Kraft's Saturday night.

    Knee jerk reaction is to agree with you. But I think its a little too well known how buddy-buddy Goodell is with Kraft. He's already taken some huge credibility hits in the last few months. He can't afford not to be tough in this case.

    Suspend Belicheat for the super bowl. It's only fair. Bring back Charlie Weis to coach the game.

    Rich Eisen just had Al Michaels as a guest on his show. They inflated two balls, one to 13 1/2 and the other to 10 1/2. Neither of them could tell a difference. Granted it's an unscientific analysis with two media dudes rather than players but it's somewhat revealing.

    The refs did during the game but simms and nantz thought they got the kickers balls mixed up.

    I don't know about NFL QBs whether it makes a difference but I can get a better grip on a football that isn't fully inflated.

    So we have one coach in the super bowl who lost 30 scholarships, had to leave coaching in college, forfeited a heisman and games, left on the 5 freeway at night straight to Seattle

    And the other is bill belichick.
