Seriously, the "Deflater" sure took the fall for that debacle, thanks Tom!

Any deal with Rodgers will be a trade so the new team doesn't necessarily need to have the QB spot open

QB-weak draft so Ryan T might be a good option for the Packers. I think Rodgers bought there just because Nashville is basically east Vegas. Too soon to speculate that he bought there because a deal was done.

I'd buy property in 5 different cities just for the memes

So, the Vikes sure got jilted on the altar in their front-office/coaching vacancies...
For once, Bears actually beat a team and basically recruited Minny's choice for GM?
And now, I read that Harbaugh was ready to sign and changed his mind and decided to return to Michigan??? :
Vikings =

Sure and for that narrative, you also have the one posted recently that ImpeachedTwiceDon tried to cover-up the SpyGate probe.

Yeah no I'm quoting this
It was expected that, given the operation of the Ideal Gas Law, the pressure inside the balls would rise on warm days, and that it would fall on cold days. That’s exactly what happened. As the source put it, “numerous” measurements made at halftime of games during the 2015 season generated numbers beyond the permitted range of 12.5 to 13.5 psi, with the reading showing a direct correlation between temperature and air pressure.
On cold days, pressure readings taken before the balls were moved to the field resulted in lower readings after 90 minutes of exposure to the conditions. On hot days, the pressure increased.
Indeed, it was believed that the actual numbers measured in the footballs used by the Patriots were generally consistent with the numbers that the atmospheric conditions should have generated that day. This should have resulted in a finding that, at most, the evidence was inconclusive as to whether there had been deliberate deflation on the day in question.
...So what happened to those numbers from the 2015 season? Per a source with knowledge of the situation, and as reported in Playmakers, the NFL expunged the numbers. It happened at the direct order, per the source, of NFL general counsel Jeff Pash.
Why would the league delete the numbers? It’s simple. For cold days, the numbers were too close to the actual numbers generated by the New England footballs at halftime of the playoff game against the Colts. Which means that the numbers generated at halftime of the January 2015 AFC Championship were not evidence of cheating, but of the normal operation of air pressure inside a rubber bladder when the temperature drops. Just as it was expected.
...
The numbers harvested during the 2015 season corroborated this. Which would provide a clear motivation to make those numbers go away, for good. Which is exactly what Pash ordered.
...The effort to test the operation of air pressure in footballs in the season played after the game in question (an effort the NFL had never before undertaken) resulted in numbers that were inconveniently similar to the numbers haphazardly collected in a game of “gotcha” that was instigated against the Patriots. Thus, those numbers never saw — and never will see — the light of day. The NFL made sure of that.

I’ve seen a lot of bad excuses for why a team lost a game, but blaming the other team for under-inflating balls has to be one of the lamest ones yet.
And that’s ignoring all the evidence that they didn’t even do it. When you consider it that way, it’s like you’re making up fantasies to excuse why your team sucks more than theirs.

I'm no Tom Brady fan, but if I recall correctly, the accusation was regarding the first half of the game but didn't TB actually do
better in the 2nd half?

Really hoping Cincinnati wins because I think the post-victory shenanigans by Burrow and company will be epic and entertaining.

But i am more interested in the half time show than the game itself. The trailer gave me chills (not Covid)... either way i will have $100 on Rams even tho I have not even watched 1 of their games this year.
