Belicheck benches players for weeks when they fumble. Maybe there’s some motivational aspect.

I posted this finding a few days ago on a deflate thread and nobody noticed.

It never fails... any comment on this topic gets a quick response, LOL.
And, the Pats don’t really have star RBs, although Blount has looked pretty good at the end of the year once before.
To: Red Badger
Maybe Eli Manning got one of the Pats deflated balls by accident, so when Tyree pushed it against his helmet...

A lot of Magnesium carbonate is great for holding on to a football.

I thought before this, that someone would do analysis's on catches and fumbles. I figured that there would be a correlation, when using underinflated footballs.

Since the reason for the requested rule change was how slick the balls were, I would expect most teams got better. It would be interesting to see how the percent improvement compares by team and what those teams do to season the footballs.

DUH: It is EASIER to hold onto a softer football.

Well, in Soccer, an overinflated football would be more ‘active’....................

Jimmy Johnson cut Curvin Richards after he fumbled twice in the last regular season game, which was meaningless for the Cowboys since they already wrapped up their division, but he wanted to send a clear message.

Deflategate Mystery solved:
It`s done with MAGNETS:
Neodymium-Nickel Super-Magnets inside the Patriots` gloves and flexible leather-looking Neodymium-Nickel Super-Magnetic refrigerator magnets glued to the outside of the football.
