Someone in the New England-based grocery chain, Market Basket, has a sense of humor. At least one of their stores was offering Deflate-gate Cakes:

Seahawks hand off the ball to Lynch again, they're the Champions. What a mistake! Disappointed that once again, the MVP seems to go to the winning QB by default. Edelman was much more deserving, or even Butler for saving the win in the final seconds. Brady was pretty much just average in this...

Did they even check Andrew Luck's balls, or just Tom Brady's?

I find it rather pathetic that they even have to ask grown men not to grab their junk when they're performing in front of an audience that contains millions that don't want to see it, and many children that don't need to see it.

Success breeds contempt. Whenever any person or organization becomes too famous, successful, or powerful, the knives come out.

I know I'm tired of the media adding "-gate" to every controversy that pops up. Watergate was over 40 years ago. It's been used so much it's not cute any more. How about a little more originality?

If the issue is that important, why are the balls "given back to the teams" before the game? Shouldn't the officials have custody of the balls at all times if they're supposed to meet some official NFL standard? Also, the Patriots receivers dropped plenty of passes in that game, so it does not...

And Peyton Manning. It was a good day. :)

I'm not sure the Ravens winning would really be an upset. Teams often don't play well after the first round bye, and I expect NE to come out flat and lifeless. Though I'd be happy if I'm wrong. I also think Indy has a chance at Denver. Manning hasn't been that impressive the past few weeks.

Yep, once again thug behavior gets a slap on the wrist. Then the NFL wonders why its players think it's acceptable to beat their spouses and children.

Why not? Isn't the HC the "captain" of the ship? In press conferences, they always take full responsibility for the execution of the game and any failures of the team: "I'm the Head Coach, it starts and ends with me" (quote from numerous head coaches over the years). This is a team expected to...

I'm not sure why, as he seems to have turned a playoff contending team into an also-ran.

Such as the Saints getting embarrassed at the Superdome by the lowly Panthers. Saints should request next season to play all their games on the road.

For the Steelers, it makes perfect sense. Don't know what the Ravens have for an excuse.

Someone in the front office must have uttered the phrase, "well, it can't get any worse."

Logically, it made sense. The Patriots should struggle mightily against a good team. Unfortunately for the Bengals, someone told both teams it was "opposite week" and the Patriots played well and the Bengals were awful.

Football ratings are always pretty high, but CBS has to be frustrated that all their Thursday games so far have been non-competitive blowouts. That must lead to much of the audience tuning out early. Though not many of the prime-time games on the other networks (Monday/ESPN, Sunday/NBC) have...

Ditto. But I don't think Belichick has the balls. Brady said he'd retire "when I suck." We'll see whether he's a liar.

Yeah, it seems like TB is back to being the league's joke team (possibly along with the Raiders). Lovie Smith looked completely shell-shocked from the first moments until the end. Against a good team that doesn't repeatedly turn the ball over or continuously blow defensive coverages, the...

Yep. IMO, she lost all sympathy and credibility when she decided to marry the man anyway, after he knocked her out. She's more interested in the money and lifestyle than her own well-being. It'll be interesting to see if divorce papers are in the future, now that Rice has lost all access to any...
