So, if deflated footballs are so advantageous to the offense, how come it took 75 years until the first NFL team complained about it?
Everyone was obeying the rules?
Yeah, right.
And, before each play, at least one referee touches the ball. So, until this game, not one ref gripped a deflated ball for 75 years.
Yeah, right.
What rules? The punishment is for the ref to replace the deflated ball and report the incident to the commissioner.
Isn't this a bit like throwing a spitball or corking a bat? (if there has been a misdeed)
