2025-2026 NFL Season Thread

If anyone else outright admitted to ball-tampering on record, that would be the textbook definition of dumb. But, since A-Rod is the NFL darling, no investigation.

If they practice with the same PSI then it should be no harder or easier to catch.

as long as the balls are where they are supposed to be for the game, doesn't really matter now does it??

i'm all caught up now.

maybe Rodgers just isn't dumb enough to get caught.



and also harder to catch. slips right through your hands easier.

I was just answering the ? about why any QB would want to over inflate a football. And you're right; it is harder to grip that way. There's a balance/preference to it.

But how about this?: Brady likes them soft and squishy, A-Rod likes them hard, and Joe Montana likes them sticky.

the first part of that post wasn't directed at you.

but again, as long as the balls are where they are supposed to be for the game, it shouldn't matter.

Brady was caught w/balls below league rules, some people shouldn't be all butt-hurt over it and blame it on someone else. I feel like i'm back in grade school.

Because how *dare* someone say anything remotely negative or critical of NFL's precious darling boy Aaron Rodgers. When in fact, as mentioned above, he too has ADMITTED to cheating, yet no one batted an eye. It doesn't matter if less air is better than more air, the fact is that the ball wasn't in the range of the acceptable level.

(I think the whole ordeal on the pressure is stupid, either way, but let's not have double standards!)

link doesn't work for me.

what I found online:

The NFL has found that it is probable that New England Patriots personnel deliberately deflated balls during the AFC Championship Game in January and that quarterback Tom Brady was probably "at least generally aware" of the rules violations.

again, if the balls are within the range they are supposed to be during games, where is anything wrong happening??

Sorry; maybe this one?: http://www.aei.org/publication/on-wells-report/

It's a peer review of the Wells Report, showing a misapplication of the Ideal Gas Law.

Because Tom's was below the acceptable range - gets suspended.
Aaron goes above the acceptable range - admittingly - and life goes on.

So:

The Sunday nighter clearly has the biggest stakes of all the games this weekend. By kickoff we'll know exactly what; it could be win and in, lose and out, but it could also be for homefield in a rematch the very next week. Or for the home game the week after vs a different team.

exciting isn't it!?!?

Aldon Smith NOT reinstated, to be revisited in March.

[Batman1980]

Robert Mathis to retire after this week.

[West E]

Thanks for nothing Rog! NFL will not rule on Aldon Smith until March at a minimum. They couldnt give us this answer in October?

The ban continues while Tyreke Hill plays with no problems. Randy Gregory is good to go too. We've had multiple players kill people and come back in less time.

Randy Gregory will most likely miss all of 2017.

Tyreke Hill should be in prison. Im just ranting tho. Aldon was a dumbass but he served his penalty and way beyond.
