It shouldn't be that difficult to test. Frankly, if the NFL didn't also test the Colts' footballs as part of their investigation, they may as well just drop the whole thing. And if they did test them, then they can show whether those footballs were showing the same level of deflation during the game.

Dunno, man, but I tell you this - I'd be rooting hard against the Patriots no matter who they were playing.

Even the fucking Cowboys. (spit)

Were it 1995 I'd be in the same boat. But Cowgirls vs. Patsies.... I'd be hard pressed to root for the Patsies.

Based on what Brady has said in interviews (that he prefers the ball inflated to the NFL minimum) it's perfectly reasonable to expect the balls to become "deflated" due to the temperature outside changing the pressure in the balls. If the Colts had their balls inflated to the NFL max (or near to it) then their balls would also deflate, but not to below the NFL minimum.

From what I gather from CD, the balls all came from the Patriots. They provide them an hour and a half before the game. 12 go to the Colts, 12 for the Pats, and 12 for kicking. The ONLY ones that were 2 lbs light were the ones the Pats had for their side. Looks pretty incriminating to me.

Remember, I said I wasn't sure about that. Can't recall where I read that.

That's inconclusive.

It's conclusive in that it specifies how many balls are designated for kicking. Other than that, we know the offenses provided their own balls, as that's what has been consistently reported. Not a comment on anything other than how many balls were on field that day.

On the lighter side.... because kitty.

I'm laughing my ass off.

Rained on all their bullshit "events" tonight and it is going to rain right into Saturday.

I've been here nearly 10 years and can't remember rain on 3 straight days.

The Hockey Gods are saying "fuck football."
