Yes. Yes he did. Thank you.

no mention of warming of the balls (unless it affects the size or psi)


This was not reported but claimed by the press that the teams can adjust the PSI (for reference only no issue was made with the K balls)
For all games, eight new footballs, sealed in a special box and shipped by the manufacturer to
the Referee, will be opened in the officials’ locker room two hours and 15 minutes prior to the starting time of the game.
These balls are to be specially marked by the Referee and used exclusively for the kicking game.

If they just followed the K ball rule for the QB ball this would not be an issue but Manning and Brady (possibly others that are nameless) got their way

as for diffler his last year was 07 and there would have been only 1 year to personally see ALL the QBs doctoring the balls.

unless he somehow had access to ALL QBs illegally doctoring balls on teams where he was not a current member I would doubt he has first hand knowledge to this story.

heating is not an issue unless it alters the PSI above/below approved levels.

yep, there was an accusation that was overturned on appeal against the players. likely the coaches/GM would have been overturned as well but they don't have a collective bargaining agreement that allows an appeal.

not sure I understand the point here unless it is to say we should just ignore it because everyone does it even if it doesn't make it right

I beg to differ with you argument;

If you heat the ball enough it could catch fire and change the diameter or shrink, possibly not altering the psi above or below the league standards. Other than that I concur.

That last line should be in the thing you should not say to a Co thread.

I know that this entire thread is not conducive to kindling any desire I may have had to again take up watching NFL football.

In this way, professional sports is certainly symptomatic of our society in general, from companies to individuals.

Not just professional sports - I think you'd be challenged to find any major conference college football program without similar rules violations. And we've seen it happen even in Little League baseball.

Deliberate tampering with a game ball is a tad more than a rules violation.

Rules violation = to many players on the field or other minor infraction

if they do not learn how to cheat in Little League how do they expect to be good cheaters later in life?

Yeah and if they don't learn to be good cheaters then they'll have to resort to cheating to be a cheater and we can't have that.

If brady was taught how to cheat in "Pop Warner" we would not be talking about this today as he would not have gotten caught.

Technically he still didn't get caught. He "probably" got caught.

After reading your post earlier condemning Brady I thought you had come to the conclusion that there was cheating. But after reading this, it seems more like justification, blame, denial and pointing fingers. No one is framing the Patriots. They cheated (again) and got caught.
