Bill Belichick Brings Deflategate To Its Absurd End

Bill Belichick spoke for nearly 20 minutes on all manner of minutiae concerning football pressure, conditions, handling, and processes.

This is amazing. Bill Belichick spent nearly 20 minutes breaking down step by painstaking step the process the New England Patriots go through with regard to their balls, including his own education on the matter since it became news. He's clearly pissed about this whole story being a story and this is as overt a middle finger as you are going to get from Belichick. You guys want to make a stupid scandal out of this? Well then strap in, fuckos, we're busting out the overhead projector and we're gonna break this thing down to it's most absurd end.

We heard things like "the true equilibrium of the ball is critical to the measurement." Analogies were made to the check tire pressure light on your car. Belichick even dropped a My Cousin Vinny reference, saying he wasn't the Mona Lisa Vito of the football world. "When you measure a football, there are a number of issues that come up" is a sentence an NFL head coach preparing for the Super Bowl spoke today. This same man also said "each ball has it's own unique characteristics because it's not a man made piece of equipment. It's animal skin, it's a bladder, it's stitching, it's laces…"

We deserved this.
