Belicheat strikes again. There's always something. Taking advantage of a loop hole in the eligible receiver rule wasn't enough? -Don Shula

Not saying the cheated or not, but I think each team is in charge of handling and getting their own balls onto the field. So if that's the case, no.

We need a universal ball handler. I am sure there are many on the board who would apply for the job.

I guess they switch balls? Dunno, maybe just some but hurt Colts fans, but if true can hardly wait for the fallout......

When a lineman's running down the field on a passing play, it's probably a good idea to cover him.

EDIT: I thought we were talking about that lining up ineligible thing that they did again, I'm sure to the chagrin of the poster who said last week he lost all respect for Belichick because of it.

I thought the article said the home team is responsible to have 36 balls ready for the game. I only skimmed it though.

It did. But the colts would play with the same balls.

You may be very well correct. I didn't read it. I do know that the are people in charge of warming the balls and or scuffing them up a little. Even if what you said is true though and the home team supplies the balls, couldn't they only do half of them or so?

If the home team is in charge, it wouldn't be that hard to do.

I don't think they cheated, but they are guilty of douchery.

Throwing a 40 yard bomb up 45-7 with 4 minutes left? Douchery.

Keeping Brady in the game up 45-7 with 4 minutes left? Douchery.

Running an end around reverse up 45-7 with 3 minutes left? Douchery.

Honestly, I hope they do the same to the Seahawks.

From the rule book:

The home club shall have 36 balls for outdoor games and 24 for indoor games available for testing with a pressure gauge by the referee two hours prior to the starting time of the game to meet with League requirements. Twelve (12) new footballs, sealed in a special box and shipped by the manufacturer, will be opened in the officials’ locker room two hours prior to the starting time of the game. These balls are to be specially marked with the letter "k" and used exclusively for the kicking game.

So what happens if they are found guilty? The Pats are fined and continue getting ready for their Superbowl game where they will make 100x times the fine cost?
