Well, hey, Edzo...you've earned a personal spreadsheet! (Congrats!)
And ya know, God loves you so much that you're never a "waste of time"...You personally are just that important! (No /s on this!)
| Edzo4's claims 'realified' | ||
| Edzo4's dubious claims... | My response... | Yet even Edzo4's cited source says... |
| "Sadly though your whole deflategate ballghazi fumble fallacy is all based on the premise that 12 footballs were deflated which they were not." | (Sorry, I never -- nor have I seen anybody -- claim that "12 footballs were deflated"; the claim has been out there for over a month now -- that 11 of the dozen balls were underinflated (not deflated)...and guess what? (These claims didn't originate with me) | "The NFL is investigating the Patriots after 11 of 12 game balls they used in their 45-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts were found to be underinflated." Per Report: Only one Pats football was badly underinflated |
| "...the only ball two pounds under was the ball that was in the unsupervised possession of the Indy colts. But you’ve ignored this fact" | (Well, so what if there was only a single ball that was a full "two pounds under"? And that the other 10 underinflated balls were less than that...what difference does that make?) | "Also, MANY [My note: not ALL] of the footballs bore the initials of AFC title game referee Walt Anderson. However, he was in charge of two other Patriots games this season, and the footballs from those games were kept in circulation, meaning it is possible footballs approved for other games wound up in the AFC Championship Game." Per Report: Only one Pats football was badly underinflated [My note: IoW, since Anderson initialed balls from two previous Pat games earlier in the season, it's possible that some balls from those earlier games were possibly re-introduced into the playoff game without having gone thru Anderson's specific pre-game inspection] |
| "...the only ball two pounds under was the ball that was in the unsupervised possession of the Indy colts. But you’ve ignored this fact." | Well, now that you've confused the entire scenario, it's difficult to say for sure what you're referencing that I've supposedly "ignored" -- but if I was reading this post of yours & went to your links...I'd come away with that you're somehow attempting to imply that only a single ball was underinflated...when even your own cited source says... (see -->) | Per Report: Only one Pats football was badly underinflated [What? Was there really some need to "deflate" that word "badly"?]...the article itself said: "Rapoport reported that the league found MANY of the footballS [My note: plural] were "just a few ticks UNDER THE MINIMUM of 12.5 PSI. |
What?
Do I really have to define "many footballs" for you per the very article you cited?
Do I really have to mention footballS is plural for you per the very article you cited?
Do I really have to tell you that ..."many footballs...under the minimum of 12.5 psi" is against the standards & rules of the NFL???
What? You gonna start getting on refs' cases for calling offsides? ('C'mon, Zebra! He was 'only' a few steps over the line of scrimmage!')
The NFL has already provided leeway: The rule says there's a full POUND of leeway [12.5 to 13.5].
And now you want to somehow...
...retroactively...
...arbitrarily...
...with full-blown arrogancy that the Pats can just well do as they damn well please with their own superimposed self-authority...
...remove these NFL standards and replace them with own self-designations? (And ONLY for the Patriots?)
Really?
Hey...just tell those Patriots, then, to "redraw" the line of scrimmage a few inches or a few feet wherever they want!
Tell those Pats to expand the seconds ("a few ticks") it takes to get off a play 83% of the time! (That'll reduce those delay of game penalties!)
Tell those Pats who are being substituted for that they actually now have a "few ticks" longer to get off the field...and that they won't be called for as many "illegal substitution" penalties...
All because Patriot fans seem to indicate that their team is so mighty they can now retroactively, arbitrarily, and arrogantly dictate to the league what the exact "ticks" should be on not only this rule, but ALL of the NFL rules!!!
I’m flattered but you really need to get a life, seriously. Seek profeessional help. Fact remains the only ball two pounds under was the one the colts had all other balls were checked by the refs. Other balls were a tick under and as has been proven over and over and over again on the multiple threads you have posted about ballghazi that a 1 lb change is psi would occur in a difference of 40 degrees if the NFL wants the balls at a certain psi at a certain temp they should change the rule. It does not as you would wish and so desperately try to “prove” with your hours of wasted effort and spreadsheets they cheated. And by your own admission a game in bad weather caused a thousand percent increase in the fumble rate. So GFYS I’m gonna go watch the replay greatest quaterback ever win his fourth superbowl cause of the worst call ever by a Superbowl coach. Also Pete Carroll coached for new england how about a whole new conspiracy theory with spreadsheets facts and diograms of how new england hired Carroll got him to Seattle just so he could make the bad call. That ought to jeep you busy for days.
