It's easy, and only takes a few moments.find it very interesting that after 8 months of deflategate talk and a brand new set of PSI procedures, as far as we can tell, the NFL game day operations crew didn't measure a single football the first week of the season. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!! We.ll maybe not so unbelevable. The hypocrisy of the league office should never be a surprise to anyone. However its becoming clearer by the week just how corrupt and desperate the league office is. Even the haters are becoming embarrassed by some of the unsubstantiated lies they are forced to write every day.
Unfortunately the biggest threat to the "integrity" of the game is Roger Goodell and his puffed up cronies.
No V, but don't you remember the League making a huge deal about coming out with these new game day procedures concerning ball inflation designed to "protect the integrity of the league" I can't remember exactly when it happen, but my best guess was sometime . before camps openedJust curious, where are you finding the information on football pressure measurements? Is the NFL posting this on their website?

What is terribly ironic is that the league spent 8 months persecuting the Pats over this issue. They put together an entirely new set of game day policies designed to fix the problem. They made a huge big deal about it. And yet as far as we know, not a single ball was tested in the first week of the season. Certainly the league hasn't mentioned anything about the new policy except to say that it won't be enforce in every game, but "randomly". So much for the "integrity of the game", because as far as we know EVERY team played with under inflated or over inflated balls.
The fact is, if the NFL had any integrity, there WOULD be a site were the officials data would be available to everyone. :Clearly nothing like that exists nor is anyone demanding one. rolleyes:
A lot of this stuff started when the NFL started trying to punish players when they got arrested for doing illegal things. I don't see how any of that stuff will stand up to a serious court review. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the punishments. My guess is the next big one will come along and be challenged in court and the NFL will lose.
Does anyone have any idea how many games Hernandez was suspended by the leage for?
Exactly! Article 46 is itself trumped by labor laws.The NFL keeps losing because they don't understand we live in the USA. A good of the game clause isn't a bad thing because no matter how hard you try, you can never think of everything, and there are certainly times when that is needed. Just like giving the Commish the power to arbitrate certain cases. There is nothing wrong with this, unless the power is abused.
For the good of the game doesn't allow the NFL to run rough shod over people's legal rights. There are laws that prevent that from happening. There are also laws that say you have to be impartial if you arbitrate an issue. It is like being pregnant, you either are or you aren't. No one with a straight face can look at the evidence and agree Goodell was impartial. Therefore, he can't look at this case.
Because of this, every single time this stuff goes to court the NFL loses, because they are taking away people's rights, right's legally granted, rights that you can't collectively bargain away. The NFL is just wasting time by appealing it.
They are just plain stupid.
Well it can be if it is abused.Exactly! Article 46 is itself trumped by labor laws.

So much for the "integrity of the game", As far a anyone can tell, the NFL has only really cared about the air pressure of footballs ONE game it its entire history. And once they got the maximum out of that sting operation, no longer give a **** about "PSI" Am I the only one to notice that?

The longer the NFL* keeps this in court, unfortunately, the less likely the Pats can get their picks back because the case is technically, not decided.
There is a chance we get the picks back but it will depend on those psi measurements. The Doritos dinks need a job and I can't think of a better one to clearing their names than running these test themselves with a few professionals to help oversee everything.
