Good reads

giantone, i like you but you being obtuse at this point. your smarter and better than this.

the post i replied to

1. you sd brad johnson underinflated balls = clearly false. he paid someone to scuff them.

2. you sd rodgers over inflates balls = i pointed out that rodgers never sd he or anyone on GB over inflates the balls after the refs check them like the pats are accused of doing. huge distinction. rodgers overinflating balls before giving them to the refs, who then deflate them to regulation is not cheating.

re the 2 articles you posted:

1. from the jeff blake article: you posted

"Many other NFL quarterbacks have said the opposite, that they've never messed with the inflation of a ball or seen anyone do so."

jeff blake (trying to get his name in there so he can become an NFL analyst) v many other QBs.

2. deflategate article - talks exclusively about old QBs scuffing brand new balls. scuffing balls is totally different from having your ball boy go into the bathroom and deflate balls after the NFL refs had checked them for regulation.




im not a big defaltegate guy with my pitchfork ... but at least make counter arguments based on accuracy, not peripheral issues.
