NFL 2014

I think I'd even agree hypothetically with HOTD about replaying the game without cheating... if it weren't so ludicrous an idea.

That was actually blueberryhill's suggestion, not mine. I was just summarizing what others had suggested in the thread. I didn't find those suggestions to be indicative of bloodthirstiness -- I found them rational options for consideration.

I don't think blueberry's replay idea was ludicrous in the least, but agree with you that due to logistics and finances, it's nearly impossible to imagine that the game will be replayed.

Anyway, I just read that the investigation isn't scheduled to be completed til after the Superbowl (probably by intent, in my opinion), so that takes some of the suggested options off the table. I don't think anything will happen before February. When the investigation is formally completed, whoever facilitated or ordered or knew about it should face appropriate penalties for cheating. If the coach didn't know and shouldn't have known, I wouldn't support action against him.

I don't think this controversy is giving Seattle an edge in the Superbowl. However, I do think it's giving Richard Sherman more ammunition to troll Tom Brady. I like Sherman, personally. And, there's no doubt that Brady's a fierce competitor --as such, the poking should only fire him up more, no matter what he did or didn't know about his balls being deflated during the championship game.

They haven't even contacted Brady as of this morning. Don't want to upset the golden boy prior to the big game.
