outside ... but Superbowl is in Arizona.

 

where is Magge?

 

the expression "score the basketball" need to be retired by basketball analysts ... wtf else are they gonna score?

 

literally?

 

With all the talk about the ball pressure issue, not once have I heard any report as to where the ball were filled and tested (by the refs)....if that was done inside and the ball taken outside, assuming the inside is heated and the outside was "cold", then Hook's Gas Laws (high school chemistry) would tell you that when the volume is unchanged and the temperature is lowered, the pressure will also be lowered. :shock:

 

true, but the Patriots balls lost approx 2lbs of pressure, while the Colts balls did not. It wasn't even that cold at the game, but you do make a good point

 

sometimes they rub their balls

the new balls are shiny and slippery and each QB likes these brand new balls to be broken in differently.

that's why everyone keeps saying that its VERY unlikely anyone would doctor the balls in anyway without the permission of or direction from the starting QB.

 

People actually watch football? I have to be one of the very few guys who could really care less.

 

without a doubt, SNL will have a skit about Tom Brady's balls.

 

true, but the balls used for kicking are maintained by the officials ... they don't get broken in the same ways as the QBs balls do, so no need to ever give custody to the teams and invite such "gamesmanship".

 

hey Zipp!


I think its possible that some may watch the Superbowl.

 

me either.

This week I learned a lot about how the NFL handles their balls. Most of this stuff is pre-game minutia fans don't concern themselves with.

 

Just baseball on and off. I used to follow the Braves, a lot less now than 5 years ago though. I'm not really into them much to be honest.
