NFL 2014 & Fantasy Football

Tbf, it's just a leak from to Chris Mortensen at the moment, so it MIGHT go away, but there's some very specific information coming out, 11 of 12 balls under-inflated by up to 2lbs each.

[ehbes]

and Aaron Rodgers told reporters he personally would over inflate balls because it was easier for him to throw.

Telling people you'd do something and being caught doing it is a different thing.

how? he straight up said "I break the rules" and now people are losing their shit over an allegation. It wouldn't surprise me if most teams in the league were doctoring the ball

and no one has been "caught"

Well, yes, we'll wait for the NFL to officially comment, but they asbolutely have

Where does Rodgers "straight up say he breaks the rules"?

"They have a set range they like them at," Rodgers said Tuesday on his ESPN Milwaukee radio show. "I always like to be on the high range because of my grip pressure. I just have a hard time throwing a flat football. The majority of the quarterbacks – I would say more than half – are on the other side of the spectrum and like it on the flatter side.

"I have a major problem with the way it goes down, to be honest with you," Rodgers said Tuesday on his ESPN Milwaukee radio show. "The majority of the time, they take air out of football. I think that, for me, is a disadvantage."

Rodgers said he likes the ball to be inflated because of his strong grip pressure and large hand size but doesn't believe that's the norm.

"The majority of quarterbacks, I would say more than half, are maybe on the other end of the spectrum and like it on the flatter side," he said on his show. "My belief is that there should be a minimum air-pressure requirement but not a maximum. There's no advantage, in my opinion -- we're not kicking the football -- there's no advantage in having a pumped-up football.

"There is, if you don't have strong grip pressure or smaller hands, an advantage to having a flat football, though, because that is easier to throw. So I think that is something they need to look at. There should be a minimum on the air pressure but not a maximum. Every game they're taking air out of the footballs I'm throwing, and I think that's a disadvantage for the way that I like them prepped."

"They have a set range they like them at," Rodgers said Tuesday on his ESPN Milwaukee radio show. "I always like to be on the high range because of my grip pressure. I just have a hard time throwing a flat football. The majority of the quarterbacks – I would say more than half – are on the other side of the spectrum and like it on the flatter side.

He says he doesn't like the rule (which is fine), and that he likes them as pumped up as he can get, within the limit. How is that the same as having balls that fall outside the legal limit?

Oh yeah! Shame he's never been caught like the Pats were then.

Edit: Just saw a comment saying Belichick's punishment should be to coach the Pro-Bowl

Somebody else saying that they hope somebody got fired for forgetting the 12th ball

[ehbes]
