Bettis rips Brady on ESPN

Does yer BFF Brady know yer cheatin' on him?

 

The pats think they can't be touched. Please seahawks...beat them!!

 

Do you know how often in this world we live in,
that this happens on a daily basis. LOL. Its my story and I am sticking to itLOL.

 

Anyone know if it's actually possible to feel the difference in a football with 1-2 psi difference? I just tried myself and I couldn't tell whatsoever, but I rarely handle a football other than drunken, summertime games of catch with buddies. I know QB's all say they like their footballs to be a specific pressure, but that sounds to me like a placebo effect. If a test was done, I wonder if these QB's could actually tell the difference.

 

Theisman said it didn't make a difference either BUT he did say that everyone grips it differently. So he was really saying it makes no difference to HIM. However, even if it does or doesn't, it doesn't really matter because the rules say it has to be a certain thing and it was beneath that. So if Brady prefers it differently he should lobby for a rule change. The thing is there must be SOME reason they say it has to be a certain pressure.

 

My question wasn't really about the deflate-gate or trying to justify what NE did. It was just a question about whether a person can actually feel a difference of 1-2 psi. I go 4 wheeling a lot and I like to keep my tires right at 5 psi. One guy I go with swears he can tell when the tire is at 5 psi by pushing on it, but I sure as hell can't. I have to use a gauge. I also just tried to feel the difference in a football after releasing 2 psi, but I couldn't feel any difference. I'm just wondering if these QB's actually can feel a difference. Of course they'll say it makes a difference, and who knows, maybe it does, I just wonder if they can actually feel a difference in 1-2 psi.

1. Even if it is just a placebo effect, the cheating remains the same.

2. I've never measured PSI to test them, but as a former receiver I think I could. I could definitely feel a difference of inflation from ball to ball (at the high school level, things were not scientific - our practice and game balls were usually different levels of inflation, and not for any reason other than there was no one really in charge of it). The ball is your tool. For guys like NFL QBs, it's their life.

Imagine a professional dancer who swears she can feel the difference between two different heel lengths, only a fraction of an inch apart. Imagine a painter who swears he can tell the difference between two very similar dilutions or types of paint. And regular people everywhere say, "Whatever, I can't." But I think it's easy to imagine how someone whose body is perfectly trained to incredible specificity (look what QBs can do with footballs - it's pretty amazing, really) can feel a difference in something that seems small to laypeople.

Now imagine a jockey who takes out some of the required weights to make his horse lighter. Maybe just a pound (I don't actually know if that's a lot or not). Then his horse wins by 4 lengths. So he woulda won anyway, but should that victory count? HELL no. If he thinks that's unfair, then maybe soon it'll sink in that he shouldn't have done it. He decided to cheat, he decided to be unfair. Whether he needed to or not is irrelevant. If you're going to show up and cheat through the game, you are not a valid participant, and if you wanted credit for that victory and a pass to the next round that you feel you deserve because you're the better player/team, you should have left the weights on the horse, and the balls at the legal PSI.

 

He took a the head shot from Matthews after the Clinton-Dix interception, it was very reminiscent of the Garvin hit and a good non-call. Wilson showed real metal by not whining about it and just going back to the sideline. The play where he took off running and slid was also a good non-call, at first glance I thought it could have been unnecessary roughness by Matthews too but in slow motion and the reverse angle Matthews manages to get both his arms on either side of Wilson and basically does a pushup in an effort to keep from landing on Wilson with his full weight. As it is he just kinda of slides over him. Again major props to Wilson for getting up going back to work and not crying like some Brady for a flag.

 

No idea about this matter and I'm somewhat in the "so what" camp but apparently Bill knows much more about this 48 hours after he knew absolutely nothing.

Strange

 

brady was sweating more and was more nervous than pres. nixon was when he was grilled about watergate!
