Actually tampering with the ball is not a problem, being rumored to be tampering with the balls is where the NFL* draws the line.
To be fair, if the NFL tested every complaint, that's $5 million dollars and six months of suspense per event.
I sometimes wish I had $5 million dollars so I could test if heating footballs can inflate air pressure to illegal levels, to simulate what at least two teams did all game long earlier this same season, which the NFL knew about and did not fine. Too bad such a test is almost impossible to recreate, given the cold and wet weather conditions in the game.
Oh, and then I'd put the remaining $4.99 million in the bank.
