(1,423 posts)You must not have played much tackle football because the more inflated ball is harder to throw and catch. Also, the ball bounces off player's helmets and shoulder pads more easily if the ball is inflated, resulting in more turnovers.
Brady is going to have to play fair. The Patriot win streak is over. Its not an arbitrary or artificial rule. The inflated footballs will be bouncing of Patriot helmets and pads into the Seahawks waiting hands.
Brady and Belicek are going to have to prove they belong. On a level playing field at a neutral site with regularly inflated football.
"So what?" you say? Seahawks took the high road on this inflation scandal. Its the Patriots doing all the whining to the rest of America, who saw what they did. Take your opinion about this to other sports. You want to raise and lower the NBA baskets because some players would like them lower? That's what you are saying, in effect. The fact that they had to cheat just shows how pathetic and bankrupt the Patriots organization is.
