34. What if Brady had overthrown some receivers and was intercepted . . .

if he were using the harder, regulation ball?

Luck overthrew several receivers with the hard ball.

In the first half the game was still close. A pick six by the Colts on an overthrow would have completely changed the dynamics of the game so you can't say that the softer, easier-to-throw ball had no effect.

And the balls were not slightly delfated, they were deflated by a full 2psi — 11 of the 12 Patriot balls.

The Colts balls were all at the correct psi.

So what's up with that Pat fans?

Your boys were up to their dirty tricks again (spygate, uneligible receivergate, tuck rulegate, and now deflategate.)

Stop with the cheating Patriots.

And why aren't he and the coach begging the League to get to the bottom of this pnwmom Jan 2015 #24

of course he can tell the difference - that is his multi-million dollar job - handle the ball DrDan Jan 2015 #33

i'm not into football or most sports but don't both teams play with the same ball JI7 Jan 2015 #3

They don't. KMOD Jan 2015 #5

during the game it's just one ball at a time isn't it ? JI7 Jan 2015 #7

I believe the Colts quarterback has gigantic hands A-Schwarzenegger Jan 2015 #8

LOL BainsBane Jan 2015 #20

I believe he has one large hand and one small hand. A-Schwarzenegger Jan 2015 #23

There you have it. Plus the kicking game. I was a big lineman in high school but brewens Jan 2015 #21

They actually have different balls for the kicking game... Wounded Bear Jan 2015 #22

Yes. They do trade balls in and out though. KMOD Jan 2015 #9

And all balls are handled by the refs on EVERY play. former9thward Jan 2015 #13

Just explaining to J17 that the teams don't play with the same footballs. Iggo Jan 2015 #15

So? former9thward Jan 2015 #42

yeah, when all else fails KMOD Jan 2015 #17

Oh, the refs handle the football on EVERY play former9thward Jan 2015 #43

Why isn't someone checking the balls from the git-go? If the refs handle the balls on every play, MADem Jan 2015 #29

They do. former9thward Jan 2015 #44

How, then, were they able to change the pressure in front of a hundred thousand fans? MADem Jan 2015 #45

Your question is why I believe this is media driven nonsense. former9thward Jan 2015 #47

I never was terribly rabid over football... MADem Jan 2015 #48

Doesn't take away from Brady's ability though. Tuesday Afternoon Jan 2015 #26

I said it elsewhere, I think Brady is getting the Karl Rove treatment. MADem Jan 2015 #30

Brady, in my example, is likened to the imprisoned governor of AL. MADem Jan 2015 #46

They didn't need to do it to win. They were killing the Colts at the LOS, running at will on them Elwood P Dowd Jan 2015 #28
