ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Charlie Weis is a candidate for the Bears' offensive-coordinator vacancy. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

So after Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, and Philip Rivers declined an invitation due to injuries; with Russell Wilson and Tom Brady playing in the Super Bowl; and Joe Flacco opting to be with his wife who is expecting a child...we can now officially call Andy Dalton a Pro Bowler.

At some point in time enough people are going to decline the invitation that someone like Blaine Gabbert is going to be a Pro Bowler.

Because alternates were called up we can now say that the Colts have 7 Pro Bowlers (Luck, Hilton, Davis, McAfee, Vinatieri, Mike Adams, and D'Qwell Jackson). What team has the most? I predict it will be the Broncos.

This is just beyond stupid though... The NFL is a multi billion dollar league, spend a couple hundred dollars, and produce and mandate the footballs to be used for each game, and pay a dude that his only job is to make sure each football is suitable for use. Then if something screws up, you know who's at fault. That doesn't seem hard to do. Isn't that the Ref's job? They can throw the ball out if they think there's something wrong with it.

Here's the thing regarding the whole ball deflating theory. So many fans, experts, and football analysts kept saying the Patriots were done in the regular season, when that failed they stated they wouldn't make it to the Super Bowl, when that failed they're saying it was because the balls were deflated.
At some point it has to be agreed that the better and more experienced team won. If they felt the ball was deflated they could've brought that up at half-time or way before the game started. The Colts need to stop making excuses, accept their loss, and prepare for the next season.
Regardless of who wins and this is me speaking as Patriot fan. While I would love for New England to win their fourth title, in all honesty, I won't be upset at all if Seattle wins. The league has enough different teams and has enough variety with the sport that I have no issue if Seattle, Green Bay, Indianapolis, or whoever happens to get there and win. Like I said before, if New England is the darlings of the NFL, for sure the league would've made sure that history was created and that they won that Super Bowl undefeated.
The fact that they lost to the Giants twice is proof that the league definitely isn't fixed.

At some point in time enough people are going to decline the invitation that someone like Blaine Gabbert is going to be a Pro Bowler. Back in December, Geno Smith said he had shown flashes of being a "Pro Bowl-caliber" quarterback. We're like five declined invitations away from that being true.

The Pro Bowl is horrendous, but it's less horrendous then it once was.
I like the concept of putting it in where the SB is.
That said, it ain't the NHL/NBA ASG where unless they're hurt, they play.

The fact that they lost to the Giants twice is proof that the league definitely isn't fixed. Honestly, the Patriots' balls could have been filled with concrete and they'd have still won that game. They were far and away the better team.

The NFL should come down hard on the Patriots. They've been caught cheating multiple times now. Something more than a ginger slap on the wrist would be nice.

Even if the NFL takes draft picks from them, I really don't think they care.

They'll probably get fined and lose draft picks because that's in the rulebooks. I'd like to see Belichick get suspended during the Super Bowl as that gets him right in the pride where he probably doesn't care as much about the money or losing (at least) the second-to-last draft pick in the first round. And some Patriots fans will continue to be white knights and stans for their team, using every weak-ass excuse to diminish or hand-wave what happened.
And that's what amazes me about this entire thing. Was Bill Belichick that paranoid to think the Patriots couldn't completely dominate the Andrew Lucks without cheating? And let's be clear: the Colts would've gotten their asses kicked that day no matter what, which I think makes their cheating look even worse in hindsight. Joe of WFAN's Joe & Evan called him the NFL's Richard Nixon and it's a pretty apt comparison. Both didn't need to do unsavory acts to win over their far weaker competition, yet they still do it because they're paranoid control freaks. And ultimately it tarnishes their legacies.

So apparently these footballs were tested at halftime, when the Patriots led 17-7. After halftime, the Patriots outscored the Colts 28-0. But yeah, footballs that were deflated by 2 psi is TOTALLY the reason the Patriots won.
As I said Monday morning, my reaction to this whole issue is as follows: FAAAARRRRRTTTT NNNNOOOOIIIISSSSEEE.

Yeah, people keep clearly saying that this isn't WHY they won.
But it makes it easier to keep being defensive that way, I guess.

People are actually calling for Robert Kraft to fire Bill Belichick. This is really turning into the dumbest thing ever.
