"Based on our analysis, under-inflated balls had a minuscule effect on any given play." - @Sport_Science (John Brenkus) on @SportsCenter

So there's a huge disadvantage for QBs in cold weather games. Not only do they have to battle the elements, but also the NFL's ridiculous rules on football weight, which ignore the biggest factors (rain and snow) while emphasizing the difference of an ounce here or there. Why would a QB ever want to play here? If I'm a guy like Drew Brees, I sign with the Saints every time over any other place.

What a huge mistake Peyton made signing with the Broncos over Arizona.
