You aren't NotBob and you still read it that way in the first place.

Re: No Faith in the Moral Standards of the Players as a Group
Sorry, can't quote because the other thread is closed.
I think the idea that the NFL lets each team doctor its own footballs (within limits) is silly. Teams haven't been playing with the same balls for years. In particular, the idea that the Colts complained about the Patriots *before* this game and the NFL let things proceed as they did makes a mockery of the idea that they really care about the integrity of play. I think the whole ruckus is highly overblown, for all the reasons expressed by Charlie Pierce, who has my proxy on this. That said, I'm not interested in defending Brady, for the reasons stated by Pierce. I am somewhat more inclined to defend the team, again for the reasons stated by Pierce. The penalties levied by the NFL are highly proportionate to the league's desire to appear to be tough, but not to the gravity of what happened relative to other things the league has ever penalized.

I can't read the thing, it's too long, and it's more like what Hitler's daughter might write about her dad. Would you at least paraphrase and redact down to what you feel?
Or just answer this- do you feel the Pats fumbling less than anyone, and the balls being low on air are unrelated?

Hitler had a daughter? I thought he was unmarried?  |

I'm Jewish so I've never focused on hitler's family details. Maybe he was never married, but that doesn't mean he couldn't have a kid. He broke a few Church rules, I believe.

It’s not often you whiff, but when you do it’s a biggun. |

Let me guess: When you were growing up, your parents taught you "The first one can come anytime. The rest all take nine months."

If you don't want to read it, don't read it.

I have not spent a lot of time reading this stuff, and maybe for that reason am not convinced there's anything more than an interesting correlation.

I'm convinced there's not actually a correlation. Or even an abnormal fumble rate.
