I listen to a lot of ESPN radio and I know full well that they are just shills for the NFL and are downplaying the Cheatriots deflategate scandal. They know where the money comes from and they do not want to kill the cash cow.
So, Colin and VanPeezy and Mike2 all are trying to kill the story as it not being a story.
The NFL is currently hiring a University to explain air temperature affects on ball pressure. Which is ludicrous because Indianapolis' balls were not deflated. They are trying to play the misdirection game to take the fans focus off of the real issues.
I keep hearing guys like Mort and Cossell say, 'Based on the people that I am talking to I am choosing the Patriots to win the game. The Seahawks barely beat Carolina and they have little chance against the great Patriots team'. The ESPN narrative is that New England is the heavy favorite. They have the matchup advantage.
So they are lining up the world to expect the Patriots to win. So if you are a betting man put your money on Seattle. Vegas wants all of the action on New England. The NFL wants it all on New England. Their shills are putting it out there. Bet the other way. The Refs will make it happen by order of the Goodell.
Why would the NFL do this? Because they are not finished with their investigation. They intentionally are not finished with it. They don't want to ban Brady or Bellicheck from the Superbowl even though they know that the two of them are responsible. Even if they didn't actually deflate the balls themselves. The order came from one or both of them. So the NFL is delaying their ruling.
Now if the Patriots win the Superbowl then everyone will be yelling foul, they are cheaters and shouldn't even be in the game! Screw the NFaiL!
If Seattle wins then the NFL avoids that, even bigger, headache. They then can focus all of the attention on Pete Carroll and the Amazing Seattle Seahawks and hope that most of the public forgets about the deflategate. The Patriots will get a fine and lose a draft choice and everyone will be happy.
Bellicheck will get a stern talking to, which he will scoff at while already figuring out new ways to bend/break the rules and go on being hailed as an all time great.
