I don't think you understand the "talking head" process. First, there is one requirement (that Shannon Sharpe meets) to be a talking head on TV (note: print media & radio don't require this): you've got to be a pretty boy, 99% consumed with your appearance. I was trying to pick out reporters...

VJ, Another great example: Ben ROFLburger (my gf's name for him, not mine! I like Ben) thinking that the D-Line shift down at the goal line last Thursday nite was illegal. Ben ain't a rookie. He's seen D-Line shifts hundreds of times before. He even said that he'd seen the Pats do it during...

The claim in bold is the part that I'd like to see get some attention: NO SURPRISE AT ALL This is the kind of stuff that happens to the visiting team in Gillette Stadium all the time. From the start of the game through the opening 14 minutes of the first quarter, the Steelers’ coaches’...

You been Poe'd...* A really good poe, tho... *Sarcasm so good you can't tell it from a sincere, crazy opinion.

I'm not at all sure about Tom winning in court. I'm no lawyer, but I think that it depends on the basis of the lawsuit. Can the basis be that the Exponent report is flawed? Or the Goodell has over-reached his authority? Brady's best tactic on the facts will be to delay the hearing until after...

Yup, I tried that one. No joy.

Thanks, guys. I'll rewrite it ASAP. And make sure there aren't any speling erorrs. Right now, I'm heading into the Sierra Nevada mountains for a couple of weeks of vacation. I'll incorporate all your suggestions before sending it off. Hopefully in the next day or so. You guys are all...

BTW, this message bounced. Does anyone have a good email address for Roger Goodell & Troy Vincent?

[Part 5] You have one last opportunity to save yourself & your reputation. I strongly urge you to grasp that opportunity & reverse all of the unjust penalties imposed in this case. Next fall will prove you correct if you follow this advice or incompetent if you choose to ignore it. You also...

[Part 4] Proof that Exponent grossly under-wet their model of the Patriots’ Wet Football The following graphs prove that Exponent’s “Patriots’ Wet Football Model” was flawed by its gross “under-wetting” of the football: The following graph shows what the raw data of the Patriots’ football...

[Part 3] Background on the effect of moisture content in the leather of the football: Every experimental investigator (including Exponent and me) has shown that the Ideal Gas Law accurately predicts the pressure drop due to changes in temperature for dry footballs. At the same time, every...

[Part 2] You seem to think that you are locked in a fight with Tom Brady & the New England Patriots over the issue of the deflation of footballs. You seem to think that this issue can be decided by lawyers (Mr. Wells, Karp & Reisner), a biased and, by all evidence, a willfully incompetent...

[Part 1] I just sent this letter to Roger Goddell. I'm pessimistic about any effect it might have, but I thought I'd post it here. In short, Exponent's model for their "Patriots' Wet Football" was fatally flawed by virtue of being massively "under-wet". Their model gave them their "Warming Time...

Since "Jack Frost" is just another of Mother Nature's pseudonyms, your (I'm guessing, snarky & sarcastic) statement happens to be correct. "Even a blind pig ..."

Rodney, I frankly don't care about the text messages. I do pressure & temperature calculations & experiments. And all of those calculations & experiments have proven (to me, and I am a very hard sell) that NOBODY let any air out of any ball. As I've said in another thread ("Wells Report...
