    Well if you are just going to make things up, then no amount of evidentiary problems will matter. McNulty had the balls to himself for about 30 seconds in a bathroom. He took a leak. As for the texts, they are quoted out of context, and don't mean what you want them to mean.

    He was in the bathroom for almost two minutes, he bypassed more easily accessible bathrooms to find one with a locking door, he wasn't supposed to have the balls at all, he lied about what he was doing with them and repeatedly changed his story, the texts are clear as day, and the texts, if interpreted in an unreasonable manner that's consistent with no balls being purposely deflated, would have almost certainly resulted in McNally being fired rather than the Patriots trying to keep him happy and quiet until the league forced their hand.

    So what? Who gives a flying fuck about deflated balls anyways? Some great hockey players had illegal curves on their sticks and no one gave a shit, same with baseball players who cork bats or pitchers who doctor baseballs. In one ear out the other, it has no bearing on anything.

    I do like that it makes Tom Brady detractors SO butthurt that this will have no effect on his legacy as one of the greatest QBs of all time.

    Speaking of Russell Wilson v Aaron Rodgers.

    And considering the Hawks O-line and RB issues this season (welcome back Beastmode!) it is hard to argue that it is the team that earned this and not RW.

    Fox Sports tries to kill Jimmy Johnson live on air.

    I literally thought he stopped breathing and was having a heart attack. :lol:



    But congrats to him. He deserves it.
