What has this world come to when the main topic is the air pressure of footballs is on every NEWS channel radio station and magazine. First of all conspiracy aside it has been proven that the balls wrre in fact proper the second half where the patriots scoredover 30 pts, 21 in the third quarter alone and in the first half it was 14-7 and Brady threw an interception.
Now lets stop and think that whomever found that some balls were a pound lower than regulation could have been the perpetrator adide from the fact that it has been shown that they can lose air during break in by squeezing rolling etc stretches the leather a ball was inflated to the low end of the level (12.5 lb-13.5) then stepped on sqweezed and scuffed up and was re tested to be 11.7 lbs.and a few of the referees questioned stated they dont always test all the balls before gametime.
Anyways IT WAS NOT A FACTOR AT ALL.PERIOD.
and to listen to troy aikman say the punishment should be more severe than the saints is just foolish. They actually conspired with knowledge of teammates, coaches and staff putting bounties on people intending physical harm. Apples and oranges. People need to stop hating and really listen to reality. What was the real benefit?NOTHING.
