Somewhere in the USA. Probably older than you. And something about MLP:FIM makes me want to write stories. Unfortunately, being gainfully employed cuts into my writing time.

So. Deflategate. For you American football fans, what do you think? Just a natural function of the change in temperature? Was Bill Belichick cheating? Or was it all a plot so that late night talk show hosts could make jokes about Tom Brady's deflated balls?
…this is far more valid than it should be.
But... but the value of currency is a social construct! There is no intrinsic particle or force that makes gold or a specific cotton-linen blend legal tender. How does that even begin to work...
Oh, right, this is the same setting where interdimensional travel can account for local nudity taboos. With that precedent, complete with an eye for personality-appropriate fashions, the bits-to-dollars conversion makes some degree of sense. Though I have to wonder what happens when traveling to a universe that lacks the concept of currency. Presumably, the currency still holds hypothetical value to those native to its universe of origin, and thus is unchanged.
I should probably start reading the story again before this becomes a dissertation.
I was wondering why you were asking me about that. It makes sense that they'd have some degree of equinity to account for the chromelanin and transmutative capacity.
In any case, a very amusing use of the first new pony we've gotten in months. I would've liked to have seen some antics, but I guess the Mane Six were on their best behavior for what was sort of a diplomatic mission. I mean, if you squint right. And I have no stance on Deflategate personally. I just wish Aaron Rodgers had had the use of both legs in the NFC championship...
5606783 The value of gold and gems is a function of usefulness and scarcity. And they're a whole lot less scarce in Equestria. I think of it as a rule preventing interdimensional arbitrage. I first saw it used in a novel where a female warrior (think Xena) moved to our world to raise her daughter, and commuted to her home dimension to earn a living as a hero.
Antics would be a different story. This one is Twilight Sparkle causing Deflategate.
And I would have preferred the Packers with a healthy Rodgers in the Super Bowl as well, and facing the Colts.
I read an entire story for a deflatgate joke...
And I couldn't be happier. This was a funny explanation for what could have gone down in New England.
As for the whole scandal thing I'm just sick of hearing about it. Have they cheated before, yes. Did they cheat again this time, I believe it. Will it ever been proven, doubtful. All I know is I can't stand Tom crybaby Brady or Bill Belicheat so the games outcome definitely sucked.

blahblahblah deflategate.
The only ball that was two PSI under was the one the Colts had, the rest just enough under that it can be explained by being filled with warm air and then cooled.
Also, someone is a sore loser...
5605648
11 of them were caused by temperature change, the one that was 2 PSI under is the one that was intercepted by the Colts (and therefore in their possession).
5607164 This whole deflateagate thing was a scam. Robert Kraft, the owner of the Patriots, made it absolutely clear that the Patriots didn't nor would never do anything to gain an advantage to win a game. The balls were deflated just a little bit just because of the weather. End of story.

It's yet another shining example of "Patriots Draw The Foul". We get so many flags, and then most of the time there will be blatant refs looking the other way on infractions from the other team... or how the Giants were handed a win over us by a nonexistent touchdown...
5607163 As a Ravens fan I have had enough time that I'm not so sore anymore lol. Now I'm just looking forward to baseball season. Let's go O's.
Peyton Manning wishes he was Johnny Unitas.
For realsies, too! Being raised by long time Baltimore Colts fans has seemed to color my perceptions.
5607858
... That's a funny way of spelling "Red Sox"...
5608327 I had a funny feeling you'd say something like that.
See you April 24th

I'd like to note that I'm actually from Mass, not a bandwagoner.
5608468 Hey I didn't go throwing around any accusations like that lol. I'm a Baltimore native so I have to rep my guys.
5608554
I just felt I needed to point it out.
I mourn with the Mane Six, being an Indianapolis native. But hey, maybe next year.
Seriously, Luck's been showing improvement each year. Try and tell me otherwise.
5612390 First make the playoffs, then win a playoff game, then make the conference finals.
Next year, make the Super Bowl.
It's science!
“I don’t get it, Twi. Why aren’t we using that mirror thingy?” Applejack asked.
“Curiously enough, the mirror portal doesn’t go to the human world, or rather the real human world,” Twilight Sparkle said. “The humans in that world are approximately 2.4% pony. And they don’t have the football teams we’ve been watching all year.”
“Then what’s the point of a world like that?”
“I really don’t know.”
ha
This is now my headcanon for Deflategate. Loved the fic!
5605648 I'd just like to point out that even though the patriots scored so many points with the deflated balls it doesn't change the fact that the defense of the pats stopped the Colt' s offense and only let them score one touchdown
Celestia goes Nova!

Might be a problem in ambassador negotiations if this is any guide...

Who's facing the Colts in the game?
8488597
The Evil Empire of Bill Belichick's New England Cheatriots.

I get it, that's the parody of the New England Patriots. LOL!

"I have no idea how these balls got deflated. Must have been a lavender unicorn."
lol. Deflategate was twilight's fault.
Could have been worse, it could have been one of the girl's fault the call came down during the Browns-Jaguars game that started Bottlegate. xD
