Actually Jackson didn’t notice anything unusual. The Indy equipment manager he gave the ball to is the one who noticed.
Colts balls were used on both sides before halftime.
That’s funny…given that Seattle’s secondary essentially operates on the premise that you foul often knowing the refs won’t throw a flag on every play.

Roger Goodell needs to go. He runs the NFL like a mix between a political machine and the WWE. Honestly, the quality of play and players has taken a huge nosedive since he took over. Granted, every sport in the written history of mankind has been made up largely of borderline-psychopathic douchebags, and the NFL is no exception, but I haven’t seen this many scandals and issue with the NFL in a long time.
Jeez, the world is on fire and the barbarians are on the march–and deflated footballs are NEWS? We’re screwed worse than I thought.
That may be past practice but you clearly haven’t watched a single Hawks game this year because their secondary has been hammered with penalties all year long…

Pretty much.
There are kids dying of hunger every day and the news cares about a flat ball? If even one of those rich ass ball players was to donate half a million for food. We’d have less hungry kids in the world…
I am on board with you 100% While I do enjoy watching sports, they are paid WAY too much money that would be better used elsewhere. The media frenzy on football inflation…?.. par for the course. Colts choked, period. 2psi was not going to save them and this is coming from a 34 year Colts fan. Sick of watching it on the news myself, bigger things to worry about.
LOL…sure I have. Probably more than half of their 18 games so far. Off the top of my head; Both GB, both SF, Arizona, StL, NYG, Carolina, Dallas, Philly, Denver, SD. What I said still stands BTW, they know the refs won’t flag every play. And even still, DPI on Seattle is down compared to last year, defensive holding is equal, overall penalties are about equal and total penalty yardage is down compared to the same point last year.

As one well known pro athlete said “If you aint cheatin’ you aint trying”
No doubt, an extra 2PSI on the ball would have prevented the Pats from steam rolling over the Colts. :neo:
Personally, it’s sports, and this country has far bigger things to focus on and I could care less who knew, who didn’t etc. I’m not a sports guy, but I will likely watch the SB (being in the NE) and see of the Pats, saggy balls and all, can pull out another SB.
While you are correct about the penalties they still get called quite frequently. That is due to the fact that the NFL made a clear directive to the refs to be extra tough on defensive backs specifically because of how the LOB operated last year.

I have opted out of sports ages ago.
They were for kids to learn teamwork, develop fitness, build character, etc. while they went to school and college.
Now the cart drives the horse.
If everyone opted out …
sigh
Nobody gets my humor…
If it makes you feel any better, I got it right away.
PERK
As a matter of fact it does! Thanks- you’re a real pal!
I was going to comment but there were too many taking it seriously that trying to turn it around just seemed too daunting to take on.
That and I’m looking to have my own balls deflated soon so it’s somewhat of a ‘sore’ subject.
