Dedo 1,728 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Io invece vado controcorrente (e non perchè si tratta di colui che domenica asfalterà i miei Patriots ): lo trovo arrogante, stupido, esagerato (29 volte cavolo, e con quei sorrisini da coglione a dire "io sono io, e voi siete tutti degli str...") ma soprattutto irrispettoso verso quel mondo che, farebbe bene a ricordarselo, lo ha reso quel che è. Robe da far rivalutare i calciatori nostrani, Balotelli compreso, e ho detto tutto In questi casi per andare oltre e non farmi troppo il fegato amaro, mi aggrappo al pensiero (semicertezza) che queste stesse arroganza, stupidità e mancanza di rispetto tempo 10/15 anni lo ridurranno in povertà o perlomeno gli creeranno grandissimi casini una volta che non ci sarà più lo status di superstar nfl a "proteggerlo" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Heze 1,594 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 CHANDLER, Ariz. – It's not the big conspiracy theory that everyone is talking about. There are no footballs, equipment managers or surveillance tape. But it's still a question that New England Patriotsrunning back LeGarrette Blount can't answer with a straight face. Did Blount engineer his release from the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier this season because he knew the Patriots wanted him back? Did someone tell him he had a job waiting for him? Is this Super Bowl a reward for a twisted scheme? On Tuesday, Blount repeatedly reacted to those questions with little more than Cheshire grins and half-hearted denials. One exchange in particular: "Did you know you had a job with New England before you left Pittsburgh" Long pause. Big smile. No answer. "Why would you leave if you didn't know in the back of your mind that they were waiting to call you?" Big smile. Subtle laugh. "I didn't know nothin'," Blount said. One more laugh. It wasn't exactly convincing. And this is why there are those within the NFL community who continue to maintain that Blount's self-induced meltdown and subsequent banishment from Pittsburgh was orchestrated toward a pre-determined end: Get out of Pittsburgh, slide back into New England. Correct a free-agent mistake that never should have been made in the first place. It was no secret that Blount had an issue with his role in Pittsburgh almost immediately. After signing with the expectation that he'd share a sizeable part of the rushing load, Blount was arrested with running back Le'Veon Bell and booked on marijuana-related charges. That moment was particularly troubling in the Steelers organization because Bell was known as a good egg, whereas Blount had a checkered history during his football career. Following that incident, Blount started off with only seven carries in his first two games. And things got worse after a 10-carry, 118-yard rushing effort against the Carolina Panthers on Sept. 21. Conventional thought was that Blount would carry a greater load after that game. Instead, he followed it up with four carries in a 27-24 loss to a bad Tampa Bay Buccaneers team. From that point on, his role in the Steelers offense was clear. He was a guy who would occasionally spell Bell, and would rarely have a larger role installed for him. What most didn't know over the course of that time – and what Blount revealed Tuesday – he was in consistent contact with former teammates in New England. That included the Patriots' onetime lead running back, Stevan Ridley, who Blount described Tuesday as being "like a little brother." Ridley knew exactly where Blount's head was when his role was being diminished in Pittsburgh. "I stayed close with a lot of guys," Blount said. "I stayed close with Ridley. I stayed close with Shane [Vereen]. I stayed close with all of my running backs. I stayed close with Devin [McCourty]. I stayed close with a lot of guys. Like I said, it's a close-knit team. It's really like a brotherhood. "They supported me through everything that I've been through." And when Ridley went down with a season-ending knee injury in mid-October, rendering the Patriots with a hole at running back? "He's one of my closest friends," Blount said. "When he went down, I was probably one of the first guys to contact him, and made sure he was OK." Over the next five weeks after Ridley's injury, Blount carried the ball 28 times for 53 yards, including zero in his final game for Pittsburgh – a 27-24 win over Tennessee on Nov. 17. That final game caused Blount to snap, ending with him walking off the field before the game had ended, and straight to the team bus without showering. He was cut one day later. Was Blount nervous? He'd just lost his job and committed an unforgivable sin in the NFL – abandoning his team in a fit of selfishness. Amazingly, Blount said he wasn't even remotely concerned. "[My agent] was telling me, 'Just chill,'" Blount said. "I wasn't worried at all." Apparently for good reason. In a stroke of tremendous luck, the Patriots came calling one day later. He had a new job in New England's backfield within 48 hours of being jettisoned by the Steelers. And the very first guy to call him from New England management? Patriots coach Bill Belichick. How long did New England wait to call him after Blount was released by the Patriots? Blount smiled, laughed and ignored that question. What did Belichick say to him? "He just said, 'Be ready to go,'" Blount said. And he was. He snatched up the job of Jonas Gray, who did nothing but run for 200 yards and four touchdowns in a game before Blount arrived. In his seven games since arriving in New England, Blount has 93 carries and six touchdowns, including a monster 30-carry, 148-yard, three touchdown effort in the victory against the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC championship game. With his first career Super Bowl only days away, some would call that remarkably good fortune. Blount doesn't really call it anything. He just smiles and laughs, with the sound knowledge that he knows how everything went down – and you don't. He even ran into two former Pittsburgh Steeler teammates Tuesday – cornerback Ike Taylor and defensive end Brett Keisel. There was no awkwardness. Just some former buddies catching up. After all, why would it go any other way? Blount is innocent. As he said when asked if he forced his way into the Patriots' waiting arms: "Naaaah." Smile. Laugh.

D-GenerationLakers 7,561 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 dal New York Times eh, non dall'Herald, qualcuno lo linki a quei buffoni di YahooSports che quotidianamente attaccano i Patriots nei loro articoli di avvicinamento al Superbowl... Thomas Healy does not have tickets to the Super Bowl, but he plans to fly to Phoenix with something that is even harder to come by than seats at Sunday’s game: the first detailed, experimental data on how atmospheric conditions might have reduced the air pressure in footballs used by the New England Patriots in their victory over the Indianapolis Colts nearly two weeks ago. Those footballs, which the N.F.L. has said were deflated to pressures below league standards, have created a national meta-bowl whose outcome is seemingly as important as who wins on Sunday. The question driving the public dialogue is whether the Patriots tampered with the balls to make them easier to handle, or whether simply moving them from the warmth of a locker room to the chill and dampness of the field could account for the deflation. The Patriots have absorbed a beating in that larger contest, with many scientists concluding that only the surreptitious hiss of air being released from the balls could explain the difference. But now the Patriots have started to rally, and in a big way. Healy, who provided The New York Times with an advance copy of his technical paper on the experiments, concluded that most or all of the deflation could be explained by those environmental effects. “This analysis looks solid to me,” said Max Tegmark, a professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who reviewed the paper at The Times’s request. “To me, their measurements mean that there’s no evidence of foul play.” Other evidence is also turning the Patriots’ way. In a usually obscure profession that has received extraordinary attention during the controversy, some academic and research physicists now concede that they made a crucial error in their initial calculations, using an equation called the ideal gas law. When that error is corrected, the amount of deflation predicted in moving from room temperature to a 50-degree field is roughly doubled. Healy, a graduate student in mechanical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, went further: He measured the pressure drop in 12 footballs when they were moved from a room at 75 degrees to one at 50 degrees (the approximate temperature on the field in the Colts game). In the experiment, the deflation of the footballs was close to the larger, correctly calculated value. When Healy moistened the balls to mimic the effects of the rainy weather that day, the pressure dropped even further, close to the deflation of 2 pounds per square inch that the N.F.L. is believed to have found. Still, several loose ends ensure that the controversy is not close to finished. If the Colts’ footballs were properly inflated, as they reportedly were, it might indicate that they were handled differently or inflated more fully to start with. If it turns out that both sets of balls were inflated and handled similarly, the N.F.L. is back to the likelihood that there was tampering by the Patriots. As the Super Bowl approaches, physicists and engineers at some of the nation’s most prestigious research institutions have been put into an unaccustomed spotlight as they try to resolve the issue. The Times reported on Tuesday that N.F.L. investigators had contacted the Columbia physics department for help with “matters relating to gas physics and environmental impacts on inflated footballs.” Alan Nathan, a nuclear physicist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who is known for his work in the physics of baseball, said that field had not garnered such interest since Sammy Sosa, a Chicago Cubs outfielder, was caught with a corked bat in 2003. Nathan eventually concluded that corking a bat did not make much difference, especially for Sosa’s specialty, which was hitting home runs. “It’s probably much ado about nothing,” Nathan said of the football controversy. “I would be pretty surprised if the N.F.L. takes any serious action on this.” Some physicists welcomed the attention to a field usually obsessed with particles that most people would find unpronounceable and equations that were less understandable than colloquial Mandarin. “The fact that the word ‘physics’ appears in the sports pages is something that I wouldn’t have expected,” said Rocky Kolb, dean of physical sciences at the University of Chicago, “so that makes me happy.” When the football controversy arose, a number of physicists cited the ideal gas law, which many of them taught in introductory courses. But applying the equation to real situations can be surprisingly deceptive. When a gauge indicates that the ball contains 12.5 p.s.i. — the minimum allowed by the N.F.L. — the actual pressure is more than twice that amount because the surrounding pressure of the atmosphere must be considered. This roughly doubles how much a dip in temperature can lower the pressure. During a phone conversation, even Tegmark, the M.I.T. professor, initially used the lower value until recognizing the mistake. “I stand corrected,” he said, adding, “It’s pretty funny that the ideal gas law is making headlines.” Timothy Gay, an experimental physicist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln who once wrote a book called “The Physics of Football,” with a foreword by Bill Belichick, the Patriots’ coach, said there was no doubt that a slightly deflated ball would be easier to grip. But he said his own calculations and Healy’s paper, a few details of which had previously leaked out, persuaded him that the weather could account for the pressure drop. Belichick and Tom Brady have denied tampering with a football, but Belichick may have undermined his case with a confusing appeal to scientific principles in a news conference Saturday. “Belichick’s press conference raised exactly the correct issues, inarticulate as it was,” Gay said. Healy, 22, is an entrepreneur as well as a graduate student. He founded an independent lab, HeadSmart, which he said was created to study ways in which football helmets could better prevent concussions. He was also a punter on Carnegie Mellon’s football team until leg injuries forced him to stop playing. When the football controversy began, Healy said, the lab had most of the necessary equipment for the new experiments. The team has also started looking at other effects that could be important, including commercial pumps that often spit out air as hot as 130 degrees. When the air cools, that could affect the deflation as well, he said. Healy, who is from the Boston area, conceded that he would be rooting for the Patriots — whether he gets tickets or not — but said engineers who were not Patriots fans had helped with the experiments. He said his interest was just in the science. “It’s bringing science to a really public light, especially when everybody is getting interested in the Super Bowl,” Healy said. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/30/sports/football/deflation-experiments-show-patriots-may-have-science-on-their-side-after-all.html?_r=1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
