I’m saying you should look at some context. ...and maybe the actual rule. ...and maybe also understand that the PSI range wasn’t set as a rule by some evaluations of pressure meets standards of sportsmanship, but rather as the expected treatment/best results by the manufacturer some time before 1940 ( no one seems to know how much before, nor has it ever been changed despite balls being out of spec for pretty much every cold or hot weather game since players had heated equipment rooms).

And then there’s the whole weight of the balls thing. Is it really sane to claim teams are cheating when the balls get wet during play? Did both teams cheat? If so, did those two wrongs make a right? ...because that makes far more difference in how the balls act than the presssure differences being discussed.

Or is this merely hyperventilating over the nature of navel lint?

wow the stretches some people will go just to justify their preferred team cheating.

I’m a Browns fan...and guess what they cheated with text messages. See it’s easy to admit when your team screws up...it’s the lies and coverups and excuses that makes me sick. And why people can’t stand the patriots.
