Yes, this news we were talking about is over a year old, as I said. It's still relevant, and apparently most people, including you, were unaware of it.

FiveThirtyEight calculates the Tom Brady call is worth about half a win, statistically.

Really? That can't be right.

Pretty much knew Brady was getting off when the report basically said there was he possible knew and Goodell hit him with the same suspensions as drug violators.

Especially when I read up how the ball measurements in the NFL were working at the time. I hope the NFL learned they need to have a better system in place for keeping track of the ball PSIs before during and after the game. I mean they could easily hire 32 people to make sure during the games each sides balls are within the acceptable range.

It can't?

He's good enough that he improves the odds, and over four games, that adds up.

It can't be right that it's only half a game.

No my cousin works at drop box, I knew, however the relevance to the thread, I don't know, so come up with something else to make your irrelevant off topic point stick.

Its irrelevant.

Yes, only relevant to you talking about Rice, not relevant to the thread.

Oh your right, she works for dropbox, now what? Lets talk about it all day.

Sure. Do you think that her working for Dropbox is a good thing for the company? Do you think her involvement with government surveillance sends a message to customers that is maybe not intended?

I have no opinion on her work at dropbox. I literally don't care.

Do you care that maybe being on their board would interfere with the potential of her becoming NFL Commissioner?

If the ball thing is such a big deal just replay the super bowl or whatever. I'm sure they'd make an assload of money off this.

Afterwards the Pats were told to reflate the balls in which case for some reason the Pats did better in the second half after that.

That balls used in the Superbowl were closely monitored.

I see. So would it be silly to ask why they don't just check the status of the balls immediately before starting the game? I mean since..well, why wouldn't they?
