Possibly, but it's "easier" to make a mistake when you're too "eager" to write an article.
How "tight" is a 30 degree ball as opposed to the same inflation psi in 80 ?
If I'm anywhere near correct ... filling a ball to 10 lbs (I have no idea ... just using a number) in 30 deg and setting it aside for an 80 deg day would necessarily "tighten" it due to the expansion .. and vice/versa
I think this is all a bunch of Ferguson
There is a vas deferens in the balls full of air and those that aren’t.
....Here's the rule book: "Home teams are responsible for furnishing playable balls at all times. Each team brings 12 primary balls. The home team is required to bring 12 backup balls." So there's a total of 36 footballs at the beginning of the game, probably more than that. But the visiting team brings its own footballs, is the point, even in the Super Bowl....My point here is, how do the Colts end up with a Patriots ball? I mean, how do the Patriots get hold of the Colts because to deflate them?... meaning last night the Colts were using balls they brought with them, and the Patriots were using their own balls, and then the Patriots have to supply an additional 12 balls as backup in case something happens, goes wrong....
....given this, the Patriots could deflate footballs all day long and it would only be their own, unless the Colts were then given those balls to play with. But they should have seen that, because the balls are marked.
Man, that was a sad game. Sadder than watching the Broncos lose to the Colts last weekend. Can you imagine last weekend's Broncos playing against this weekend's Patriots?
LOL
I used to like football when I believed it was real like wrestling, now I don’t because I know the games are fake like boxing
This whole controversy is ridiculous. Also ridiculous is the rule that teams supply their own balls. Just have the NFL ship the balls to each stadium on game day and be done with it. Have the referees introduce the “neutral” balls to the game.
I think the Packers deflated their own balls... how dare anyone insinuate it was the Pats. If anything the Seahawks may have played a role, though.
LOL
Good one.
The Packers’ coach’s balls sure were deflated which explains why they settled for those early FGs.
You just knew they’d wind up regretting it.
It is a stupid and childish accusation.
Sure, you get a better grip on the ball but, it would not fly true, for one.
After each play the referees handle the ball quite a bit.
Wouldn’t they notice when passing it between each other and placing the ball on scrimmage line?
You lost and there’s always next year.
The Packers went to the Championship game with a formidable front line and a great fullback.
They kicked field-goals from the 1.
That is NOT what got them to this game.
That is why they lost.
The Seahawks on the other hand pull out a fake field goal and it saves them.
Green Bay lost the game because they wanted to.
Don’t they have medication the players could take for this?
This has certainly been a year the NFL would like to put in the rearview mirror asap.
I’m wondering when some Packer fan will cry saying the only reason the Hawks won was because of the coin toss in their favor ....
