I can't believe we are up to 63 pages on the air in a ball. Who would have thought?!
I very much like my neighbors to the south but this culture of even the hint of scandal is eaten hook line and sinker. CBS, CNN, FOX...all the major media outlets with their incessant bombardment of potential wrong-doing drumming up speculation and drawing out the hate that our great team has festering in other fan bases. It is a great business model.
I am guessing that they will be testing the balls and the majority of them will be just fine. There may be one slightly off due to weather or whatever but that is really going to be very marginal. That potential result would be the same for teams in a Northeast or Northwest environment.
Then it will come out, IF that happens...'ohh, the Patriots are cheaters'...when the reality would be it was off by a extremely minimal amount but since a number has been set and it theoretically could be minimally exceeded then the media will take it from there and incite more hate.
The speed limit on the highway is 110 but if I go 111 then I am speeding. Send out the cop shop and investigate! What a waste of resources.
The refs handled multiple balls and they took one out of circulation, to my knowledge from sources I trust... ONE ball. Now everyone is grabbing their torches.
Indy, you got beat, plain and simple. Your team has a long way to go but I think you got a great QB to try and get you there.
For now, get some rest and get better in the off-season.
Enough....
