What if the Steelers played with deflated balls?

    Here are the actual numbers.
    4 years with the Cheaters 536 times handling the ball = 0 fumbles.
    2 years with the Bengals 524 times handling the ball = 5 fumbles.

    Somebody was living on Shady Lane.

    I looked at the sky, saw it was blue. By noon, it was overcast gray. I noted that change. But I guess if I didn't LOG that the sky was ever blue, then it wasn't, and my observation of the sky's change is somehow invalid. Got it.

    The guy makes millions and yet lives in, what appears to be, a $900/mo apartment, complete with the usual beige shag carpet, and he has decorated it with cheap Walmart furniture that features the plastic gold trim. SMH

    That photo is old enough it might have been taken while he was still playing on his rookie contract before his big extension. Plus, between his work and his partying how much time do you think he really spends at home ? :)

    He has what appears to be a smoking hot 5'7'' blonde wearing nothing but his jersey and your focus is on Walmart furniture?

    I'd hit that on a Big Lots bed.

    He's a blue collar guy and you gotta love that. Although maybe he's at her house?

    Great comparison. But when you split hairs legally to try to weasel out of anything and everything, this line of argument actually exists (and often works).

    Looks like a cheap hotel room to me... once I stop staring. ;)

    I seriously doubt it's her place. Women don't pick out that kind of furniture...and there is NOTHING on the walls. That's not her place.

    All kidding aside, this was a few years ago: it's probably a "furnished" apartment that Gronkowski quickly set up in the Boston area (something temporary), not having time to find a permanent place yet. But still...gadzooks.

    As for Bibi Jones: gentleman, she's a porn star...a petri dish with blond hair. I wouldn't touch her with a ten-foot pole (let alone my ten-inch one! :lolol:).

    Did anyone see Goodells news conference? Seems like to me he mainly talked about the expansion of the league.. When asked hrd ?'s he mostly skated around them.. you could tell he was getting a lil miffed with some of the ?'s..... Ohh and there is no scenerio were he would resign or get fired from the league..

    In the end, it's his choice. But I don't think he'd miss THIS game. Any other game? Sure. Of course. But not a Superbowl, and definitely not one against a team I know he hates.

    It would be a hard choice perhaps. But I'd play if I was him. And have a police escort ready to sweep me to the hospital the instant the game ended.

    Yeah, he'll play. I saw an interview with the girlfriend and she said that she won't tell him if she goes into labor

    Does anyone think that the ball being properly inflated really matter with Brady's throws tomorrow?

    I doubt it will but would be funny if all his passes are way off target.

    Yeah he might actually have to wear gloves in 70 degree weather. Probably won't see too many pump fakes.

    I think it's more likely that the Pats win, and the line becomes "Well, clearly they would have won the superbowl whether the balls were inflated or not", and then the NFL hopes it all gets forgotten.

    But I would find it HILARIOUS if the Pats came out and fumbled the ball on the first drive.

    And read the comments for the article from the Chowderheads in Boston.com. They keep referencing the Head Smart test. But the problem with that test is that the average PSI loss was 1.8. Still not enough to cover the more than 2 PSI the Pastry balls were down. And the Head Smart test used a room temperature of 75 degrees. I had my fireplace on the other night (yes on, its gas) and the room next to it was uncomfortably warm. It was 73. There is no way that the room where those balls were inflated was anything more than 70.

    And the final nail in that coffin is that a 1.8 PSI would have failed the Colts balls even if they were inflated to the 13.5 max.
