(BOSTON) JAN 24 – WHY WERE FOOTBALLS USED BY THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS FOOTBALLS IN LAST SUNDAY’S CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AGAINST THE INDIANAPOLIS COLTS DEFLATED? COACH BILL BELICHIK SAYS THE ANSWER IS IN THE SCIENCE OF AIR PRESSURE.
FOX NEWS RADIO’S BILL MARCUS HAS MORE FROM BOSTON.
….IN 2007 BELICHIK WAS FINED A HALF A MILLION – THE N-F-L’S TOP PENALTY LEVIED EVER – FOR SPYING ON AN OPPOSING TEAM AND RECORDING THEIR HAND SIGNALS. SATURDAY HE SAID THAT ACT WAS IN FRONT OF 80-THOUSAND PEOPLE. BACK IN 2007 THE FRANCHISE WAS ALSO FINED A QUARTER OF A MILLION BY THE N-F-L AND DOCKED THEIR FIRST DRAFT PICK IN 2008.
