Annoying Favre comments

Favre's comments are semi-supportive but it annoys me every time I see someone simply accepting that the stupid narrative that the balls were deflated. The Wells report shows two possibilities, depending on which guage Walt Anderson used to measure them: (1) that the balls were a regulation 12.5 PSI when they went into play (using the gauge Anderson remembers using); or (2) the balls were on average about 0.4 PSI under regulation when they hit the field (using the other gauge Anderson doesn't recall using).

Now ask yourself, who is going to go through the trouble and risk to lower the air pressure in 10+ balls by an average of 0.4 PSI, a difference not detectable by feel alone? You'd have to be crazy. Occam's Razor indicates there was no deflation and this whole thing is a witch hunt.

Who cares what he thinks, I can give a rats ass about what anyone outside of the Patriot organization thinks.

So says the guy who texts his junk to a female reporter. Yep, his opinion should be valued right up there with the best of them.

Favre is still reeling from Sterger deflating him.

“I don’t think by any stretch, in my opinion, that Tom was cheating,” Favre told Fox News

I thought he was supporting Brady

He just wants to send weiner picks to Giselle.

he is not saying brady didn't do it. he is saying that it's part of gamesmanship.

I don't see anything wrong with Favre's comments. He's supporting Brady. Regarding "accepting the narrative," I doubt Favre has bothered to read the report and is simply assuming what's reported in the press is accurate. As he - like most people - has no personal stake in this story, he hasn't bothered to research it.

So we're now bashing the guys who stand up in Brady's defense?

If you want to get upset about something, take a look at this item that appeared in my email this morning:

Included in the comments is the following gem. I'm sure this guy thinks he correctly knows all the facts:

Dave Taylor

The reason is that one QB's idea of optimal pressure is different from another's. Note that the Patriot personnel deflated 11 of 12 footballs. They left one at full pressure that was specifically used for kicking. (so they wanted an advantage booth ways) All sports regulate the equipment used by the players. There has to be a standard of some kind in order to make the competition about athletic performance and not about equipment advantage. For instance, golf ball manufacturers can make a ball that will travel much further than they do now, but the USGA regulates a maximum velocity in testing to keep it about the player, not the ball.

^^^ Dave Taylor is obviously an idiot.
