Just saying if you're confident that you've done nothing wrong, you generally come out with better body language and well...confidence lol
Personally, at the end of the day all I really wanna see out of this at the end is that NFL tightens up their completely mindboggling rules in regards to the leeway given to teams in their handling of game balls. Who cares about every damn QB's perfect preferential on the state of the ball? Last time I checked the sport is called football, not namby-pamby-have-it-your-way-ball. Just get all the QBs in a room, have em give you a collective agreement on what the ball's specifications should be, and then that's what everybody gets, from the refs, at the start of every game, period end of discussion. I didn't even know the NFL had this kind of backwards ass system until "deflate gate" |
The problem with them tamping down on what QB's do to their own balls, and something I imagine places the NFL in a sticky situation is it's counter to where they've been taking the league, ala, more aerial/offensive/more points. So, I'm not sure that would ever happen, nevermind that as statements from former QB's can attest to, QB's have been doing this even before Brady/Manning lobbied the NFL to allow teams to bring their own balls. I mean, is the league really going to start coming down on their golden boys? Dunno, the way I see this playing out, is in the very least Refs will be required to fill out logs w/ ball pressures which will be checked against post-game pressures etc... And maybe the balls will be filled in a more controlled environment, ergo, not a 90-100 degree room or something.
