NFL confirms it's looking into the matter of deflated footballs in AFC title game

Baseballs get doctored all the time, you throw the pitcher out and finish the game - no big deal.

This has been pretty common in the NFL for a while and nobody cared very much. Now in the age of lynch mobs careers must be destroyed immediately with or without evidence. It should be more like baseball.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

Rodgers never admitted to doing that, and I've never before seen the allegation.

What Rodgers has said is that he wishes there was no upper limit to inflation PSI.

Because he thinks it’s easier for him to grip. He likes them tight. Of course, he’s got very big hands and you can tell that by watching him play.

"I have a major problem with the way it goes down, to be honest with you," Rodgers said Tuesday on his ESPN Milwaukee radio show. "The majority of the time, they take air out of the football. I think that, for me, is a disadvantage."

That's the first I've heard of it. It's a second hand account, but Simms would have no reason to lie. Though he may have misunderstood.

A bit of a difference between inflating a ball before the inspection and being upset that it didn't pass and illegally altering the balls after the inspection.
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

Not so different.

One circumvents regulation and occasionally succeeds the other circumvents regulation and succeeds briefly.

As punishment for the grievous crimes of the New England Patriots, I have decided to devise a new name for them so wickedly clever and catchy that it will go viral like a wildfire, and by the time the Superbowl rolls around, even the announcers and the official program will call them by this new name. The old name will forever be lost to history, and within a generation there will perhaps be no trace of it left.

I do not render this punishment lightly. I understand how severe it is to take from the players, coaches, and fanbase the very name of the team they love. But it is my solemn moral obligation to provide this justice. I am sorry.

Let the meme begin: I pronounce that team the New Cheatland Cheatriots!!!!!

And when Patriots fans try to avoid the shame of this new name, they will try to shorten it, as in "Pats". Only to discover that the name still brands them as they are - the Cheats!

That is perhaps the most wickedly devious part of this genius nickname I've created.

You want the short version? It is either W or L.

Right now Mr. Brady has W and Mr. Rodgers has the L.

And at least Mr. Brady has the dignity to keep quiet about it.

Bill Nye confirms that there's really only one way to significantly change air pressure in a football.

Air.

I'm pretty sure Mr. Nye, a Seattle fan, knows that isn't true.

When you're talking about a 10% change in PSI, it is.
"Rubbing" doesn't change it.

I'm afraid there are some inconsistencies with Mr. Belichek's explanation. 1) If the weather affected the air pressure, then the Colt's balls would have lost air pressure as well. They were checked, and they hadn't. 2) to have lost the pressure amount of air pressure those balls lost, the temperature would have needed to drop 20 degrees more than it had. 3) 11 balls consistently lost the exact same amount of pressure. That doesn't happen naturally. 4) The first complaint was registered months ago when the weather was much more temperate. 5) Rubbing dropped the pressure? Irrelevant. First that means they would have rubbed the balls after they had been tested and received the seal. That's as illegal as taking a needle to them after the fact. Second, the numbers still don't add up.
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

Not to mention that rubbing doesn't decrease air pressure.

I thought about going back to edit, but decided against it.

Rubbing balls can actually affect air pressure, but it would be in the opposite direction, assuming you could generate enough heat to get it to rise.


I'll just leave that right there.
