Didn't read thread, but question. Why do the teams provide the ball. Just have the NFL provide the ball and then they have control over it. Stupid they don't.

Roy - devout Eagles fan. I thought how he left oregon was distasteful, I thought the handling of desean was repugnant, and reeked of tyrannical egotism (especially contrasted with Riley cooper). I am not a fan of what I've seen from the genius. At least hoodie has earned his arrogance in the pros.

Football is really no big deal to me, but I would imagine that folks would understand why B Belicheat isn't St Louis Rams fans' favorite opposing coach.

I don't see why a quarterback would want to throw a ball with a different feel than the ball he has been throwing for years.

Which, of course, is precisely why the rain would cause them to want to make it easier to grip the ball - to give the QB the same purchase as what he's used to with a dry ball.

Yesterday I didn't watch the games on TV, just listened to them on the radio.
OMG - I just found a picture of the football the Pats were using: |

Get your timeline straight
Snowplow wasn't Bill's deal - not even Pete Carroll's (coach here before Bill - and isn't that an interesting story line?) As a matter of fact it wasn't even Gillette Stadium! I can't even remember who the coach was for that but I was at the game - John Smith was the kicker BK

And, sorry, the Patriots are the best team since 2001. Fans only look at Super Bowl wins. And while of course that is the goal, coaches, players and GMs understand the Super Bowl champion is the winner of a tournament after the season, and in many cases, is not the best team. Are you going to argue that the 07 Giants were the best team that year? |

Is this actually true? Some of the articles I've seen suggest that each team plays with the footballs they bring, and that the officials check the inflation and then return them to the team's representatives before the game starts.

I'll say this. If this comes from within the Colts organization (the "NFL Source"), it is a pretty well done piece of PR spin. Three days later and we're talking about the bureaucratic procedures of ball handling in the NFL rather than the fact that Indianapolis folded like a cheap suit... whether there is any merit to the claim, the Colts have been able to avoid some tough questions.
