That seems correct. However, if they can't show how the balls were tampered with after inspection, then the NFL might have to admit that the refs didn't do a thorough job inspecting the balls in the first place. In other words, the NFL might have to take another hit in order to punish the Pats, which they may not be…

A Boston blog called Off the Monster is reporting there will be no penalty or fine due to lack of evidence. I have no idea if they are a credible source, however.

This is one of my favorite comments ever.

One of your best. Very much enjoyed this.

The fact that they couldn't have included Cat Latos as an honorary cross-sport participant is disappointing to say the least.

So this guy is named Jack Johnson AND Joe Louis?

Beat me to it. Very similar dunks.

So, either Burke or Petchesky is the Deadspin Schwab, and Burke votes for Petchesky. I believe according to the transitive property, Barry is morbidly obese.

If Deadspin staff competed against each other in a "Stump The Scwhab"-style sports trivia gameshow, who would win?

Agreed.

This is a rule in high school hoops as well (at least where I played). I believe it dates back to the days before breakaway rims, when excessive dunking (or perhaps worse, attempted dunking by people who don't know what they're doing) could result in damage to the rim or backboard.

Looks similar to the Neymar injury in the World Cup quarterfinals. Let's hope it's not the same diagnosis (fractured vertebra).

Scut Farkus hasn't aged a bit since Ralphie beat him down.

God, in a lawsuit against these two, I'm pulling for the bailiff setting the courtroom on fire.

tough to disagree with that.

My favorite part of this thread is the part where 95 people (and counting) understood that marmol was making a sarcastic joke, but one (you) didn't. As the number of stars on his original post rises, it's like a gift that keeps on giving. Never change.

Ha, never seen that one. High risk/high reward I guess...I can see a fun co-ed or IM team trying this out, but that's crazy that it worked at Nationals. How long ago was that?

In Ultimate Frisbee, this is called a Callahan. I like to think that if it ever happened in the NFL, it would be call The Jet.

Read the first paragraph, then watch it again.

Misusing the word "ironic" like that? He truly is a Douchebag.
