Ok, then...if it was 'twas nothing, then, hey, do away with the rule. Do away with the football presentation of balls to the head ref two-plus hours pre-game.
Just let the Q's choose their balls...the kickers theirs...
And since proper inflation doesn't matter, why also trifle about a slightly smaller sized football? Why not just leave it up to the players & the equipment mgrs & coaches?
By all means, let's get the referee & nfl bureaucrats out of it & just "trust" the Bill B. types to exercise proper sportsmanship.
Your problem, and espn who hype this for viewers, are making a small pile of hyped pooh into a mountain.
It’s going to fun to point out all the cheating and illegal play that Seattle does in the Superbowl and what they will get away with. The illegal holdings, illegal use of hands, pass interferences, crackback blocks, neutral zone violations, illegal substitutions, offsides, ineligible players down field, clipping, facemasks, unnecessary roughness, intentional grounding, and unsportsmanlike conduct and on and on.
