When throwing the ball, it screws up it's flight. Won't go as far or as fast.

Have any league sources confirmed that? So far it's just that one reporter from Indy. Also not sure what that would've done to help against the Colts run D

Idiotapolis couldn't tell the difference at any point of the game? But the/a REF did? The ball was groped, touched, handled, tucked, thrown, hiked, molested, abused, tossed, and played with by BOTH SIDES and there was no complaint until now? Gandolff is too good, you can't beat them, and SPY GATE makes no sense if practices are opened to public and if players look at tape themselves.
Midas whale ban QBs from having ear pieces and secret wrist bands with plays on it.
Can't be BB with wearing that HEAD SET OVER the HOODY.

Each team uses different balls. Brady isn't throwing the same ones Luck uses and vice versa.

Then how do they know? How are they able to tag or mark the balls through out the game? This can't be srs though. Are they gonna question the ice in the drinks or temperature in the locker room?

They do or at least they're supposed to. It doesn't matter because it's a non issue. People are reaching as usual...

I think he's a cool dude and most would agree. Guy has been humble, no scandal, no nothing. He's a legit dude on and off, until other wise. He doesn't create issues in the locker room like his other counter parts (RG, WILSON, KAPER, MANZIEL). I'm surprised he doesn't do the deals like the others, but heard he's about to be paid. Dude has earned the respect in the locker room and it shows.
I think people have more talk about GB, ROGERS, SHERMAN, WILSON than they do about LUCK.

The balls are marked with the team logo I believe. Also I don't know if it actually affected the outcome but if it turns out to be true it just makes you wonder how often they do stuff and not get caught.

Deflated footballs are easier to throw because you can grip them better, especially in harsh conditions. We used to deflate balls all the time in high school when we knew the weather was going to be harsh.

Is it that serious? Are they going to test the PH of the gatorade/water and do urine tests for all players and stuff going forward? Gonna turn into a baseball league soon or boxing league. Testing everything. So stupid and silly.
Maybe they should test for 4 LOKO or RED BULL or CAFFENE. jeez.

It may be harder to surround Andrew Luck with talent if he takes that the 25 million per year deal

Back to whoever brought up the last int by the Packers and the DB deciding to give up and slide afterwards. Julius Peppers waves to him to slide and avoid any contact. Can't make this up.

Yup caught a team doing that in HS.
Ball was flat as hell
And just like you said a full ball in rain is slick as hell, in real cold conditions ish is like a boulder
You rang?

I think people genuinely understand, at least I hope. People will always scrutinize a particular play, but it's hard to really see everything on TV. It's sad, but players that get isolated because of a particular play really don't understand how it works. Like they say, hindsight is 20/20. I wouldn't necessarily say it was a bone head play though, but these types of experiences will only make the team/player next time around. To the DB's defense, we've seen the TOs in the game, and we've seen how Dieon Sanders hopefuls want to do more but end up losing the ball again (especially in such conditions). Oh well, not like it matters because they lost the game.

Packers and Steelers got the template on finding receivers in the mid rounds. It's kind of unbelievable actually.

I understand it's a grip thing, but doesn't the leather or whatever soak up water and make it heavy? I believe so. I really do not understand how or what they are trying to say. The balls will soak up moisture, which should actually put them over weight?
