lol at this being the leading story in national news.. ISIS, SOTU, Paris, dead Nigerians.. No America, deflated footballs!
But you still haven't answered why it's a bigger advantage in the cold as it would be in warm weather. A deflated ball is a deflated ball, and if Brady likes them so much, why wouldn't they deflate them every single game?
You're clearly a smart guy
You're apparently honest as not many people would admit to a bad run
You've been around a while as you've been a member for over 8 years
I bet you're a pretty damn capper. I understand if you don't want to post but I do think your plays/analysis would provide value to the forum for the above mentioned reasons
My point is....there are rules....they are there for a reason....if you tell your kid not to do something and they disobey you, are there consequences or not?I linked an article earlier that likened this incident to pine tar in baseball...check it out. As for the other things you've brought up...no one is saying those things are okay, but some of them are done by a bunch of guys and if they aren't caught we never know about it. Except for the stick um, there's no real need for that anymore, they've just basically incorporated stick um into the WR's gloves. Have you tried on a pair of WR gloves lately? It's amazing they ever drop a ball with how sticky those things are.

Who says they haven't ?
Teed did with his stats that he somehow thinks proves his point. Why would Brady's stats be better in cold weather games if he was deflating the balls in every game? It's just logic and reason at that point...if he like deflated footballs that much, and it affects the performance that much, it seems foolish to argue he's only doing it in cold weather. Since it's then foolish to assume he only does it in cold weather, the stats shouldn't show an increase in performance in cold weather, he'd be using the deflated balls in every game.
Right? If I'm wrong with my thoughts, please show me how. I very well may be, but someone's gonna have to poke holes in the logic, because that's all it is at this point.
They probably only do it during home games
Either for equipment or logistics reasons
More home games are going to be cold weather for them then away
Except for the fact that the Colts say they were doing it in their regular season game at Indy in a dome.

10 pages of this crap and zero pages discussing what actually matters.....the game.
Fail.
Interesting stat, Tom Brady had 36 fumbles his first 3 years in the league...and only 60 in his last 10 seasons.
Aaron Rodgers had 20 in his first 2 seasons...he's had 27 in his last 5 years.
Peyton Manning had 17 his first 2 seasons....he's had 59 in the next 14 years.
Manning had 9 his first 2 seasons.
Rothlesberger similarly showed no decrease after his first 2-3 years in the league.
It's not a fail for the NFL, this is exactly what they wanted.
Also, this thread is specifically about the issue with the Pats and deflating balls, why would there be any talk of the game in this thread? I'm sure you can find a dozen threads on the game if you want to discuss it.
You missed my point, obviously. If not, please direct me to the thread that has 10 pages discussing the Super Bowl
Anyone see Marc brunell almost tear up over this issue lol
Wtf

Deadspinhaha, i gotta see this.
You missed mine as well...this is what the NFL wants
Capping Genius has been capping the game for weeks, check his writeup
Manning had 9 his first 2 seasons.

Per pro football reference.
If I'm Pete Carroll and Seattle I troll the Pats hard and ask in public the NFL to take extra precautions to secure the integrity of the Super Bowl.
Two things I love about this......first, it is NOT going away.....second, there is no way Goodall comes out of this looking good...just no fukkin way
Yeah, the stats on pfr are backwards compared to where I looked up Brady and Rodger's stats. Peyton has fumbled 17 times in his past 2 seasons...and it was only 59 in his first 14 seasons. So Peyton was cheating all along, and then stopped 2 years ago, since his fumble rate has skyrocketed?
The whole talk and now digging back into stats to try and pigeon hole this theory of deflating balls is just foolish. I know you're not the one who found the stat and asserted what it meant, I'm just talking in general. It's easy to go back, after the fact for any type of controversy, and find some stat that may happen to support some theory...doesn't mean anything at all though really.
No, I looked it up as I remembered Brady coughed it up a lot early in his career. And you say Peyton has fumbled 17 times the last 2 seasons, which coincidentally also happen to be played in Denver with his home games not confined in a climate controlled dome.
If they only do it during home games, those cold/warm weather stats mean even less. Every cold game they play isn't at home...they play BUF and the Jets every year, probably been cold in their two spots, at least, during this supposed era of them deflating balls.
The great thing about the deflatriots scandal is we don't have to listen to the talking heads debating the Brady/Montana/Bradshaw or BB/Walsh/Noll greatest ever argument. Might have been the weed but right after the Pats won on Sunday that's all I heard. Didn't want to spend two weeks listening to that sh!t. Actually cringed when I thought about how many media types would be blowing the coach, #12, #87.

Wtf
They had a profesional ball boy on NBC nightly news
CASH
What are your thoughts on the Michael Pineda incident? I can only assume you think it was an honest mistake
According to the ideal gas law a ball filled at 12.5 psi at 72F would have a pressure of 11.75 psi at 40F
PV-nRT can be rearranged to
P2=P1(T2/T1) if Volume is constant, where Pressure is measured in Pascals and T in degrees Kelvin
12.5psi=86184.466125 pascals
72F=295.37K
40F=277.59K
277.59/295.37= 0.939804313
86184.466125 x 0.939804313= 80996.53299806599 pascals/6894.75729pascals/psi = 11.74559psi
And this is assuming the volume of the ball remains the same and does not shrink at all, any change in the volume of the ball, which is probably negligible, would make the pressure even higher at 40F.

Lloyd, the hell with this....who do you have for the Pick 4 at Gulfstream? :shake:
