Bradshaw on Deflating Footballs

It's the same reason that no other relevant information is being played in the media, only one fanbase, and while we're a rather large fan base, we're the only ones who care about the relevant information NOT being played in the media.

The other 31 fanbases hear the initial report and that becomes gospel.

Don't even try to pretend that if it were the Jets being investigated for this we'd be reasonable, we'd read "deflated footballs, cheated", and no other information would find its way here. Just like no important information makes its way around any of the other circles. They don't care, it was written as fact initially that we cheated and thats that.

If the Packers were being investigated for overinflated footballs in the NFCCG and Brady quipped that he likes his underinflated we wouldn't suddenly be investigated either, no matter how much they would want us to be to get the spotlight off of them.

Whether there was reason to or not it'd probably be an even bigger PR nightmare for the league to have to investigate a second team. They can barely handle a pair of player appeals at the same time in a reasonable timeframe.

It won't work. they'll quote -- not unreasonably -- the final bit of that paragraph where Bradshaw says it was only a "perceived advantage" because both teams used the same balls (which was the case back then).

They still doctored balls. And its jalso according to how they preferthem , not everyone likes it the same way (Aaron Rodgers and his attempts to overinflate). What the steelers did is cheating,which is another point of emphasis when pats haters are confronted with how overblown these scandals are, "cheating is cheating, regardless of the impact".

Oh, I totally agree it is just as "cheating" or not as what Brady is accused of. Just saying that trying to throw it in the faces of your typical moronic Yinzers won't work because they'll just say "both teams were playing with the same balls so it's nothing like what Brady did."

You from the burgh?? I only here yinzers around here and you seem to understand stiller nation quite well.

No one cared then and no one cares now how much air is in the stupid football. The game is meant for quarterbacks to throw a football they are comfortable with to a receiver.

Now a receiver with glue all over his gloves is a slightly different story.

Repeat, there is no concept by which anyone wants quarterbacks to throw a football that's hard, slippery or otherwise difficult to handle. None. This concept only exists now because the commish and some weasels want to keep the Patriots from having another dynasty now that they've retooled with great young players and Brady seems to be defying age through healthy living.
