I get it now! I was unknowingly using "double-entredes".

Not difficult to do in a thread about balls.

Something about the Patriots ‘deflating’ their balls for the game.

The Refs are supposed to check the ball pressure 2 hours before game time... That’s a lot of balls to check !

So can you get the Refs to check the opponents balls in a cold room and your balls in a nice warm room?

Marshawn checks his balls every time he scores.

Seahawks playing so poorly...

Damn! They sure hang on to that one!

OK, so the Seahawks made some mistakes in the first quarter.

You learn.
You adjust.

And you win!

Great teams do that! Championship teams!

Perhaps this game would be better played without balls at all.

Of course, Green Bay tried that yesterday, some.

That did not quite work out for them this time though.

Not sure what u mean by the line switching from 4 to 19...and yes maxwell of seahawks facemazkez nelson and got.away with it...my read tho is that it didn’t likely effect overall drive as.packers got first down anyway and wound up at half yard line

According to Chris Mortensen of ESPN.com, the NFL has found that 11 of the 12 football used by the New England Patriots in Sunday’s AFC Championship game against the Indianapolis Colts were under-inflated by two pounds each.
