"The Chiefs deemed West Alabama return specialist Tyreek Hill to be good enough to get a shot at the NFL, and his misconduct not bad enough to prevent it. The Chiefs, who were called out locally by Sam Mellinger of the Kansas City Star for picking a player who pleaded guilty in 2015 to punching an choking his pregnant girlfriend while at Oklahoma State, have defended the decision." I guess drafting players who smack around their pregnant girlfriends is OK. But at least he wasn't convicted or ever accused of doing something as dastardly and as crimial as deflating a few footballs. WTF is up with Andy Reid? He had no problem bringing back that scumbag "Dog Killer" Michael Vick back into the league and now this. And BB has a rep for being Evil? This league and all its Bullsh t is upside down. profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/05/02/chiefs-defend-decision-to-pick-tyreek-hill/ |

its crazy. Dogs living with cats, up is down, down is up, beating woman is OK'd by the NFL, but don't you dare be "generally aware" that a little air may or may not have been let out if a ball.

I guess violence toward pregnant women is not a big deal according to the NFL, but violate the sanctity of football air pressure and you will be hounded to Hell and beyond if necessary.
Yup... that makes perfect sense.

Yup... that makes perfect sense. What's really funny is that the whole 12.5/13.5 things is nothing more than a manufacturer suggestion, taken right off the box. It's an efficiency guide line, not unlike your tires. I can assure you there was NEVER any testing by the NFL as to the degree of pressure and relevance to integrity or anything else. They didn't even know what a PSI was. So basically the Pats were penalized $1m, two draft picks and TB faces suspension over playing with balls outside of manufactures reccomendations. That's it. I wonder why no ones ever questioned that insanity? |

The NFL leadership definitely shows characteristics of some demented cult. You never know what crazy thing they'll do next.

That's it.I wonder why no ones ever questioned that insanity? Beyond the fact that the PSI band is based on a recommendation, how about the fact that an under inflated ball puts you at a disadvantage in the passing game? Numerous studies (ESPN Science, etc) have shown that a ball with a lower PSI does not travel as far, is less accurate, and is slower to reach the receiver, compared to a ball with a PSI in the band. I've never understood why Brady, or anyone in a passing oriented offense, would have a motivation to play with a ball below the band. Check out the post-game Pats' ball PSIs. Brady was throwing balls in the second half that were probably 14 PSI leaving the locker room (the average post-game PSI was above 13.50). That didn't seem to be a problem, did it? |

The whole 'generally aware/more probable than not' of an equipment violation heretofore punishable by the imposition of a fine in an amount that most NFL players would find under their couch cushions is such a transparently pathetic farce. But, and I keep forgetting this, the Pats transgression was not the deflategate fiasco - it was simply winning with a consistency heretofore unparalleled in the free-agency era.

I wonder why no ones ever questioned that insanity? Nope.. the Pats were victimized by a handful of teams, led by the Colts who devised the idea to say footballs that lose PSI in cold temperatures is tampering and not by IGL, and a commissioner with trumped up charge. The franchise STILL wins way too much in this parity era compared to the rest and many owners a jealous and thought Spygate would have slowed it down, it didn't. The 4 game Brady suspension is an attempt to slow the team down by hamstringing it with the possibility it could start a season 0 - 4, or lose any 4 game stretch without Brady, and miss the playoffs. |
