The combining, or poaching of neighboring leagues was reported locally in Chicago during the nauseating coverage this summer, but it was framed as "bringing communities together".

Luckily for me, my father in law keeps his own fifths of Crown and Vodka in his golf bag in case the cart girl doesn't like to "dew sweep" like he does.

"I talk to him every day, just as I have for 15 years," Loomis said. "He talks to me about the same subject matter: The Y2K effect on the Superdome lights and what his AOL screen name should be."

So is that like 16,000 Hilton Honors points at the Doubletree?

I am sure that balls will lose pressure throughout the game (use, pig piles, temperature change, Gronk spikes), so what is the normal pressure at the end of the game, which is when these 11 balls were measured to be under inflated? Did the NFL measure the before and after pressures of the Colts or other team's balls?

The fact that most of the balls were under inflated seems to support a temperature change scenario. Could the Patriots have warmed their balls (perhaps left them against the engine compartment on the bus ride to the stadium) before giving them to the refs to increase the pressure loss as the ambient temperature…
