The thing I notice... a lot of people who obviously don’t know much about the topic and have very little experience with a football.... weigh in on the topic, and somehow think that a pound and a half of air pressure is such a difference that it is the deciding factor in a game. Its crazy.

I think this is what’s driving the issue nationally. They should know that in the second half, when Brady was using regulation balls, and when it was raining harder, the Pats outscored the Colts 28-0.

Brady is on the record stating that he likes deflated balls. I’m sure that he regularly submits low or underinflated balls. I doubt that the refs ever check the pressure. But they can’t admit it unless they want to lose their jobs. I know it’s part of their job, but who would check 24 balls with a gauge before a game?

I just read through more of the comments and everybody has an opinion. Since I’m not a football watcher I can’t say more. It’s the same old story with every topic, if you are for the ‘person, sport, team’, you argue for them and if you are against you argue against.

It’s the same in politics, religion, etc.
