(SportsNetwork.com) - The New England Patriots have a pretty important game to prepare for in just over a weeks time so Bill Belichick took to the podium on Saturday for a surprise press conference designed to move things along from DeflateGate, the NFLs sting operation designed to see if the Pats intentionally deflated footballs in the AFC Championship Game. Communication isnt Belichicks forte but he put on his professors hat in an effort to explain a process he claimed to know little about until this scandal enveloped the national news cycle. It was a weird exercise in which Belichick even referenced Marisa Tomeis character from the film My Cousin Vinny, Mona Lisa Vito. Im not a scientist. Im not an expert in footballs. Im not an expert in football measurements, Belichick said. Im just telling you what I know. I would not say Im Mona Lisa Vito of the football world, as she was in the car- expertise area. But, while making sure to inform us all that hes not a scientist, the embattled Belichick nonetheless broke into a Bill Nye impression trying to cloud the issue with pedantic minutia, explaining the process New England goes through to prepare footballs for a game while also droning on about how the PSI could change in a football due to atmospheric conditions. Its similar to the concept of when you get into your car and the light comes on and it says low tire pressure, because the car has been sitting in the driveway outside overnight, Belichick claimed, and you start it up and start driving it, and the light goes off -- its a similar concept to that. Except that doesnt explain why the Colts footballs were fine and only the Pats were underinflated. Perhaps Tomei could have been used to explain Indianapolis footballs were the equivalent of a Pontiac Tempest and New Englands were Buick Skylarks -- similar but different. Heck, Belichick even tried to say all footballs are different, you know like snowflakes or DNA. The only real substance of what was a meaningless exercise designed to cloud the issue further by confusing those who want answers was Belichicks continued insistence that he and his team did nothing wrong. At no time was there any intent -- whatsoever -- to try and compromise the integrity of the game, Belichick said. I believe now, 100 percent, that I have personally and (the Patriots) have absolutely followed every rule to the letter. Which got me to thinking. Belichick is a lot like another big Tomei fan -- Seinfelds George Costanza, who once tried to teach his buddy Jerry how to lie. If you believe it, George said, its not a lie. And Belichick believes all of it so its on to Seattle ... finally. Im embarrassed to talk about the amount of time that Ive put into this relative to the other important challenge in front of us, the coach said. We have a huge game, a huge challenge for our football team that is where that focus is going to go. Ive spent more than enough time on this. Cheap Air Max 97 All Gold .

The bitter rivals clash at the Etihad, live on Sky Sports 1HD on Super Sunday, with City 12 points behind Premier League-leaders Leicester with nine games remaining.Yet just as significantly, City are only four points ahead of sixth-placed United after 29 games and striker Aguero insists they have to win to prevent a cataclysmic slide out of the Champions League places.

We will have to play intensely.I think that over the last five years City have always competed hard in the derby.

I focus on City and Sunday, and we are thinking about winning and nothing else.Aguero, who signed for City from Atletico Madrid in 2011 and signed a renewed five-year contract in 2014, said last week that he intends to finish his career at boyhood club Independiente.But he hopes to win the Champions League before he goes, most likely in 2019 when his current contract ends.You are born in one club as a kid and you always want to return to where you started.
