Explosive Documentary Links Peyton Manning, Major Athletes To Doping Ring: The quarterback and his wife received human growth hormone in 2011, an alleged supplier asserts in a new undercover investigation.

Are you just screwing with people to get a rise out of them online? Or are you serious?

Because if you're serious, you're guilty of exactly what I just described.

There were a million and one incidents of NFL QBs saying they either doctored balls, knew about balls getting doctored, or generally describing the deflation as no big deal.

On top of that, actual scientists - like the ones at Columbia and Harvard that were dropped in favor of "There's no such thing as climate change or second hand smoke" Exponent - showed that the Ideal Gas Law would cause deflation to the levels they were recorded by the refs.

Oh, but then I guess that's only if you trust Walt Anderson - which the Wells Report does, up until it isn't convenient. Then they dismiss is, with an explanation of "well, he can't be right here. But trust him otherwise".

HGH is a performance enhancing drug. A PED. That's why it is banned from the NFL. That's why it is tested for. In this case, and every other, it enhances your performance. Otherwise it wouldn't be taken.

Are you aware that ARod never failed a drug test, while being the most tested athlete on the planet? Newsflash - Lance Armstrong didn't pop positive,either.

I can understand completely wanting to back up your once in a lifetime QB. And as I mentioned above, I don't care if he was stuffing himself full of PEDs, personally.

What does bother me are sanctimonious pricks that crucified Tom over something that Mother Nature did based off a single tweet but are now running out screaming "They all did it and it's not even that bad!" from the rooftops.

Look at Gregg Doyle, for fucks sake. He massacred the Pats and Tom seconds after the Kravitz tweet landed, and now he's very much "innocent until proven guilty, lets wait for the facts folks". Fuck him - can you be that tone deaf?

Hopefully, when this all blows over, you'll be able to take a step back, look at your reactions here and your initial reactions to #DeflateGate, and maybe come away with some new perspective.

Sadly, if this blows up like Tom's story did, you'll get to hear for the rest of forever how your QB "couldn't have done it without the juice".

Ya, you'll know it's bullshit, and so won't most other people that know football, but when Rosie O'Donnell and the nightly news are hammering away you're going to get pretty fucking pissy.
