I want know why that guy who reportedly took a bag of a dozen footballs into a restroom, changed the pressure in them, rebagged them, all in ninety seconds, is not on the field playing. he has to be the fastest ball handler in the game
I got confused when I read that Tom Brady plays better by deflating his balls. Then I realised they meant deflating the actual footballs. Seriously though, how is this not cheating? Why do each team get there on set of football's, why don't they just share?
they give them to a ref after each play, can't be a very noticeable difference. I can't tell any difference between 12lb and 14lb, doubt Brady could either. kickers and Beckham jr prolly could.
No, you have to be able to do it on the field during the game. The question then becomes how. The easiest way it to modify a poppet valve with a needle tip. The Poppet will bleed down 2 psig in about a second and it's designed to shut off at a given pressure. The best part is it's half the length of your pinky finger and can easily be hidden behind the QB's towel.
wouldn't that be a smoking gun? piece of equipment like that,tmz would be chomping at the bit for pics.
I doubt if you could see something that small when palmed or maybe the QB falls on the ball. Then deflates the ball on the ground in the pile and put it away before he gets up. The ball is just a touch lighter so no one is any the wiser.
I highly doubt it was done on the field in front of tens of thousands, hundreds of cameras, and eleven opponents. I personally don't think he deflated them himself. plausable deniability.
Well now ... Joe, that is still the very best line going about this entire situation anywhere! Makes me laugh every time I read it. +1000
