Yemen falls to ISIS, and our country is fixated on Tom Brady’s balls.

Brady seemed evasive when first asked if he could tell the difference between the first half balls and the second half ones.
Also: “I get the snap, I drop back, I throw the ball,” Brady said. “I grip it and I try to throw the ball. That’s the extent of me touching the football.” Trying to imply that he really doesn’t handle it much at all so he wouldn’t know about any inflation issues. It doesn’t smell right.

They will be calling for PSI checks every time Brady throws a TD now. They should make it like the Stick Check in Hockey.

We could easily have real time telemetry data.
Just like the Indycar and Formula 1 guys do with tire pressures.
We’ll be watching velocity, spin rpm, etc on our television sets in just a few years I predict.

So called deflated balls were used in the first half. Hard rock balls were used in the second half when Patriots beat the Colts like a drum. This entire “non-story” is something cooked up by the Colts because they are tired of getting their bell rung by the Patriots.

Michael Sam said the balls he inspected were fine.

To me the way rule 2 is written it leaves the door open to manipulation of game time pressure based upon temperature manipulation of some sort. I didn’t run any ideal gas law calcs to check the professors numbers. However I think it is a neat idea and not outside the rule as written to do this if you want a softer ball to play with. I admire innovation of this type.
