What does the NFL sell? Incredibly competitive football games. So competitive that they draw in the emotions of millions of fans willing to pay tons of money to attend those games, watch them on TV, buy concessions, buy jerseys, etc. etc.

But as soon as the competitiveness of the very product they're selling is compromised, you're talking about risking the Golden Goose.

The time and money spent on the Wells report pales in comparison to protecting the immense revenue stream their competitive games generate.
Pick up two footballs and see if the one that's deflated 1.2 psi under the limit would impact a game. It doesn't. You have 0 common sense.

Yeah because you're qualified to say. Are you a pro QB?

If it doesn't make a difference then why the flying F is there a rule about it, and why does the NFL go to the lengths to have the head ref test the ball pressure 2 hours before the game and then keep the balls under the watchful eye of an official until minutes before kickoff?

Seriously your critical thinking skills are impaired.

Well I do know a thing or two about quarterbacking. Obviously not at the professional level.

I'm not going to get into name calling with you Schneed. Kind of immature thing to do. You seem like the kind of guy that thinks he's the smartest person in the room. We'll agree to disagree.

Re: All things off season 2015.

Yeah. What Schneed said. Seriously, for everyone saying it's no big deal, it the same reason they pay guys to make sure players tuck in their shirts and fine players for tiny uniform infractions.

It's a brand. Brands don't get eroded by big violations but rather by small infractions which undermine the brand's uniformity and integrity.

Plus. Brady is rat ass liar.

Re: All things off season 2015.

Aaron Rodgers Likes To Tamper With Footballs, Too

Suspend him too I guess. It would be the only way to preserve the integrity of the game.

I'm not for Brady's suspension but I really wish we didn't face him or Hardy this year.

The league probably consulted Jerrah about the length of each suspension while on the Cowboys' party bus.

Re: All things off season 2015.

Manipulating balls:

NFL aware of game ball incident during Vikings-Panthers - Minnesota Vikings Blog - ESPN

Ended in a phone call saying knock it off.

Blandino said he would remind the teams the next week not to violate the rules again!

The integrity of the league I say!

Too funny.

Exactly, this is how the entire thing should have been handled. A simple mandate is something that fits this kind of incident. Not a multi million dollar investigation and asking to see someone's cell phone.

I think there is a big difference between the league warning two teams about heating up balls during a cold game and having a repeat offender team's QB and equipment personnel deliberately altering football to gain some type of competitive advantage.

Re: All things off season 2015.

Brady isn't a victim. He broke a rule. He should be punished. 4 games is crazy. I just disagree with the harshness of the punishment.

Vontaze Burfict fined for twisting ankles of Cam Newton, Greg Olsen - SBNation.com

This is a much worse rules violations that actually affects the competitiveness of the games it occurred in. Trying to break a guy's ankle after the play occurred on the field so it isn't as important a rule as deflating balls 1.2 psi off the field.

I'm not saying you're a bad person for getting up in arms about deflating balls 1.2psi. I just don't think it is a big deal.

Why would someone have to turn Rodgers in since he admitted breaking the same rule?

Add that to all the retired QBs that claim that there was frequent ball manipulating and its bullshit that the Patriots got hammered for it.
They should let the teams decide what the PSI is, it will put more points on the board.
Let the QBs play.....

If it was so stupid, then Brady and the Pats shouldn't have hidden anything. I believe during SpyGate, the Pats had the whole attitude of "yeah we did it, but the whole league does it." I was surprised the same thing didn't happen this time.
