Many of us consider "whitebread" one of the least desirable traits a place can have.

Easy there. Indiana has many nice places to live.

Autoplay video at LAF (loud as fuck)? WTF? On a "My Favorite Things" list:

Dear Electron,

You mean Dolan has been sober this whole time?

Are you calling them the "Duke" of March Madness?

Oh come on, James Franklin would never patronize or disrespect a woman:

Ironic he is now at Penn State.

Gratified with the results contingent on the sentences being appropriate for the crimes. However, I can't escape the feeling that James Franklin is due some responsibility for the post-incident attempts to avoid justice.

Look, if I want to hear from a governor who is serious about doughnuts, it's going to be New Jersey.

look I'm going to stick with the likes of bill nye, my nobel prize winning physicist college professor, and the countless other scientists (note: not patriots fans) that agree that there is no way that this occurred without someone tampering with the balls.

Ernie Adams thinks this is all just "blown up" out of proportion. He knows which rules he can skirt, and memorizes every last fucking letter and punctuation mark. Just think about it for a minute folks- when a team goes to the length that the Pats did in the early BB era.....recording opposing offensive and defensive…

The Patriots also taped the Rams offensive walk-through prior to their Super Bowl. You act as though the spying shit didn't take place for years and years.

I think Deadspin boxed themselves in on this issue. When the story first broke, it sounded ridiculous and most of the writers were quick to give it the "so, so stupid" treatment. After a little digging, it turns out that the crazy story is true and Deadpsin is left with the choice of reversing themselves or hanging on…

The Patriots have a history of fumbling the ball at a much lower rate than other teams (which is something that having an under inflated ball would contribute to). In fact, they've been at the top of the NFL in fumbles lost since 2007. Before that, they were fairly average.

No, the referees do not inflate or deflate the balls *unless the ball it outside of the range.* The refs test the balls, if they are within the range, they leave them be. If they are not, they either inflate or deflate them to within the range.

it's about grip dude, not about turning the ball into a Nerf Vortex

So here's the thing about the V60. When I was a kid, Volvo wagons could be purchased by average income earners. Hell, we had one in 1983, at the same time my parents were trying to manage a 21% mortgage (the early '80s were scary). We didn't make lots of money. Today you'd call us middle-middle class.
