Each team supplies 24 balls. 12 are selected by officials as game balls 12 are designated as backups. The refs put the Patriots backup balls in...
That is why they play the games, to settle discussions like this :)
This isn't good for the Seahawks. Every Pat is now on a personal mission to destroy them. The normal Seahawk intimidation factor is totally...
Well if they were messing with balls during the game a camera somewhere will have caught it. If the math for 3 doesn't work out then I suspect...
The refs inspect all footballs and hold them for 2 hours before game start so this had to happen one of three ways: 1) The Pats tampered with the...
First. I think Brady is back next year win, lose or draw. He has said in the past that he will quit football when they take away his helmet and...
Ah yes, my bad. ยป The league has also placed limits on the number of full-contact padded practices during the regular season. Teams are permitted...
That wouldn't be a factor at this time of the year. There are no rules about what coaches can do during the season, only in the off season.
Which is why Brady can afford to offer the Pats such a team friendly deal. The Steelers obviously failed when they didn't find a wealthy wife for...
I'll give you that, but to expect 53 union members to look the other way while you violate a union contract is going to lead to sorrow.
It is one thing to get around a NFL rule, quiet another to screw around with a union contract clause when the guys you are asking to break the...
You've never worked in a union shop have you?
The union reps wouldn't let that happen but they do build on their stuff all season long. Pats are a team the gets better though the season...
To be fair, Ozzie is light years ahead of a LOT of teams..not just the Steelers.
Lets hope it isn't as bad as it looked.
A little about the defenseless player rule change.
No way in hell. Hard legal hit.
It is only a penalty if you hit the receivers head or neck. You can still light up a "defenseless receiver" if you do it low enough and don't use...
True anything close to the neck will draw a call even if it is legal. That hit was low enough not to draw the flag.
Looked legal to me. Didn't use his helmet and he didn't ht the head or neck area. Football.
