Difference in weigh of a football at the ranges discussed - .017 ounces. 1.7 hundredth of an ounce.

Sure, that's easy to distinguish.

(just in case it's needed)

Folks, we are talking Pounds Per Square Inch....NOT POUNDS!

[KMOD]

1. We are also talking grip,

especially in bad weather.

[NRaleighLiberal]

2. whatever. hate away.

[KMOD]

3. I don't hate, really,

OK, (just a little hate) but I am seriously boggled as to why the Pats did this.

[NRaleighLiberal]

4. here's the thing - no one knows what happened yet. Hence my IRS analogy - guilty until proven

innocent.

Not very Democratic, is it?

[KMOD]

5. This is football, not a democracy damnit. :)

I agree but, I don't think this is a no biggie, either. Kraft must be royally POed. The NFL too. Especially with the timing of this.

[NRaleighLiberal]

6. good one!

[KMOD]

7. heh

and as much as I hate your team, I don't hate you. So good luck, and I hope someday I'll be able to experience the feeling of having my team win a superbowl as well.

[NRaleighLiberal]

8. well, as a Red Sox fan and Duke fan, I am not foreign to people hating teams I love!

I guess hating is just not my thing (but I do have an intense dislike of the Yankees!)

[madinmaryland]

9. Oh, FFS. If it wasn't so annoying, watching the sactimonious piles of shite

from the Cheatriots fans would actually be funny.

Oh wait, it actually is. Hearing all of the Cheatriots fans whine when they are caught red handed is way too funny.

FUCKING LOSERS!!

[NRaleighLiberal]

10. man, you are one obnoxious person. So what exactly do you know about what really happened?

Oh - I forgot, you don't. Pathetic hater - hate away.

[Capt. Obvious]

11. FUCKING LOSERS

who are going to Arizona.

[trumad]

12. oh stop with the hate shit....

Every kid who ever through a football knows you get a better grip with a football that's not fully inflated.

Deflate less...better grip.

That is a simple fucking fact...a fact that the sycophants want to ignore.

[trotsky]

13. And a better grip means you would fumble less.

A LOT less, than most or maybe even ALL the teams in the league. So unless you can show that...

D'oh.

14. It's not about the weight of the ball but the grip

Nice try, though. Keep flailing.
