Kickers use different balls. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 11:12 19
- no other sport has a different set of balls for home and away, kicker and offense. - groiny May 13, 11:18 17
  - The silly part is if they each get their own balls, why can't they make them exactly how they want them? It only matters if they have to use the same - pmb May 13, 11:30 13
    - I have a great idea, lets just ignore the rules that we do not like! - Spawn May 13, 11:33 12
      - I have a better idea. Let's get rid of rules that make no sense. Also, let's not pretend that all rules require the same level of enforcement. - pmb May 13, 11:36 11
        
        Agreed. - Spawn May 13, 11:41 6
        
        I get why you're so angry. I would be too if it was my team that lost in that circumstance. But you're getting outraged over things that should have - pmb May 13, 11:50 5
        
        Uhm, the ruling pretty much states it was ongoing for many years. - Spawn May 13, 11:57 4
        
        I thought I read that they did ultimately get the phone, but apparently not. Doesn't really change my view a lot, but it's something. I think there - pmb May 13, 12:06 2
        
        Here (Troy Vincent letter to Brady) - Spawn May 13, 12:15
        
        They gave a lot of options for phone. They did not want him to give it, they wanted him to scroll through and click the relevant so they could be - Spawn May 13, 12:08
        
        Isn't most of the penalty for not cooperating with the investigation rather than the actual "crime"? -- nm - zork May 13, 11:59
        
        If it didn't make sense, why did Brady cheat and alter the balls so that they were out of the league specifications? -- nm - Shaun May 13, 11:40 3
        
        The rule itself makes no sense. Brady likes the balls with a lower inflation level than the league arbitrarily set. But the rule itself serves no - pmb May 13, 11:44 2
        
        WE ARE ARGUING THE SAME SIDE, THEN! -- nm - Spawn May 13, 11:50 1
        
        I disagree with the penalty. I agree he and the team have to be punished, but I think it's way out of proportion to the crime. I also think they - pmb May 13, 11:52
  - K balls. The league did this because prior to the new balls, kickers were allowed to fuck with and manipulate the balls however they wanted. - Shaun May 13, 11:21 1
    - so yeah, different balls for kickers and regular players. nm -- nm - groiny May 13, 11:23
  - *shrugs* -- nm - Spawn May 13, 11:21
- well that is just dumb. nm -- nm - groiny May 13, 11:13
