Thank you for your kind wishes

A few weeks ago my foster dad died (Dec 26) and I shared that with this community. I wanted to thank you for your kind wishes and condolences. We had his memorial today. While sad it was also uplifting.
I enjoy the discussions and learning, mind searching and support in this community. It would be wonderful if we could have a DU convention some day. Once again, in gratefulness for your thoughts and encouraging messages in a tough time! Mike C

It is has been reported by ESPN and Yahoo Sports that sources with in the NFL have indicted that a preliminary investigation as shown that 11 of the 12 footballs used by the Patriots in Sunday's game were under-inflated by 2lbs psi or more. If this is proven should the Patriots be made to forfeit and have the Colts go to the Super Bowl instead?
