When footballs start deflating of their own accord by 1 or 2 PSI or even more in extreme places like GB? Does the NFL apologize and give back $+picks? Haha sorry bad joke. Seriously though, I am curious.
What will be the NFL's spin? I mean they obviously cannot penalize every team nor can they give back our draft picks. And you know that everyone and their dog will be measuring football air pressure this winter cause the NFL made such a huge stink out of it. Then everyone will see the pressure drop to below legal limits, cause you can't stop mother nature.
The NFL is really going to need to think up an answer for this I think... but I can't imagine what excuse they could give that would satisfy anyone. I suppose they could claim that the conditions elsewhere were not "exactly" the same as in the AFCCG game and sort of get out of it with that BS reasoning.
I think the NFL screwed up big time by not waiting to see how footballs react to the cold this coming winter before giving out punishments. They think they're having it rough right now with Judge Berman coming down on them hard? Imagine what it will be like this winter during games when fans, networks (excluding ESPN and NFL Network of course), and even school kids start measuring footballs? I don't think they'll be able to get away with saying the school kids screwed up the measuring.
What can they possibly say to save face when (not if) this happens?
