Unfortunately the commissioner can't fire coaches.

The NFL's already screwed the pooch on precedent here with various other teams but they should just give the Pats the $25,000 fine multiplied by however many balls were tampered with and move on.

I hope the Patriots are guilty as possible and Belicheck gets fired for this one by Goodell. That would be great wouldn't it Peta?

I will also accept this, since the public outrage resulting from Goodell taking a marginal cheating effort more seriously than blasting one's wife in the face would be solid gold.

hahahahahaha

There won't be a ruling until after the superbowl

Everybody already knows that the Patriots aren't the first team to screw with football pressure.

There's still no official ruling

I think at worst, they get fined and lose a draft pick

I would wager that these Patriots are not the first team to pull this stunt, however the NFL needs to set an example here and also modify its rules about what happens with game balls, from after the inspection process until when they are used.

The footballs being deflated is not the reason why the Patriots won. The Colts even said it themselves.

That being said, the Patriots should be penalized but it's difficult to speculate as to what the punishment will be
