There's more talk of drama, owners and the commissioner, the criminals who play the game and an 'investigation' complete with 'persons of interest' (:lol), regarding deflated balls, than there is about the up-coming ultimate game. I guess the NFL has jumped the shark.

:lol Right now dbaiir is more prominent than ISIS on this forum, so until that changes... Eh, fuck. ISIS. RGIII or Danny Snyder

Well they are good points. I hadn't thought specifically about grabbing a softer ball to avoid fumbling. Pitch and catch seems a negligible advantage by one pound of pressure. And 77 years is from the date of the rule you posted to today. I'd never heard of this being an issue, and I'm sure it's...

Those are all good points, especially the ability to avoid fumbles by under-inflation.

I'm clearly saying this whole rhubarb over a ticky-tack obscure rule is silly. Based on the practical application of the fact that it doesn't even affect the outcome of the game. Former and current players agree. Yes it's a rule, gotcha, we all see that. People are whining over the principal...

It's all opinion based, peppy. All of it. You're just choosing the one you like, while pretending to have a substantive argument. Because the guy who caught the ball, as well as his TE team-mate, as well as other pro quarterbacks have given opinions contrary to yours. And they're just as...

:lol Brett Favre or Donnie MacNabb...

So do I. Goodell or John Mara?

Of course I have, you just didn't like it. It's as insignificant as spitting on the sidewalk and the fact that in 77 years it has never been an issue would attest to that. Is it possible it never fucking occurred until now?? I'll bet 90% of football fans never heard of this rule until now...

Take some Metamucil Pep; it's really not that earth shattering - the 'cheat', nor my view on it. All I have is my opinion is that it's a non-starter of a controversy; sorry my view of it caused you so much grief that you had re-think your reply and get spastic about it. :dev3

Oh Pepper, you're flying a kite against my F-4. :happy A brilliant marketing ploy to create a bad guy for an otherwise un-attractive Super Bowl. The players involved hardly give a crap, let alone see the difference. From the guy who intercepted Brady and supposedly started this nonsense:

You're comparing apples to oranges and citing extremes. In some states they have blue laws - antiquated, non-essentail laws; like it's illegal to leave you car through the door facing a busy street. It's not enforced, no one cares and it's irrelevant. You're arguing as though someone not...

Yeah, and? Is that really the difference between winning and losing? I think in this case, Indy could have forced NE to use their balls and it wouldn't matter. This whole thing is being blown up as though it makes a difference. That's ridiculous. As for that 1939 blue law, I'd have a hard...

But there is always levity... <--irony or not?

Fads and trends aren't political or conspiratorial. Are you out of your mind? Yeah I've done both, and I never gave much thought to whether or not it was properly deflated. It's micromanaging to have a blood-alcohol-like measurement to the amount of air in a fucking football. Geez, what pansy shit.

:lol How the hell is that political? The Zeitgeist encompasses everything within a society. I didn't say they're regulating uniforms to that end, I said they're headed in that direction, so any current bit of evidence is as useless as my conjecture concerning it. And if a softer ball helps the...

And every pro sport is affected by the societal mind-set of insecurity. Uniforms are totally different. Are they? I'm fairly sure I remember some nonsense concerning a players shirt being untucked...but I'm not entirely sure. But I don't doubt it will become part of the problem, in the ever...

The game will probably become un-watchable in 10 years if this continues.

Holy shit, what a way to take the fun out of everything, but to micro-manage every little aspect of a fucking game. Such an insecure age, that every minute little touch is perceived as an unfair advantage. Will fitting your pants just right become a problem in the foreseeable future? The proper...

:lol 'Where is the cops'? They're a phone call away... if you want to stop filming and use your camera to call them.
