Anything that would normally be over the counter needs an RX in order for insurance to cover it. It’s not ridiculous at all actually - if you and your doctor decide that other available forms of birth control don’t work for you medically, but condoms DO, then your doctor can write you an RX for condoms. Much like…

I can’t tell you how devastated the Patriots organization must be now that you refuse to recognize their Super Bowl wins.

The insurance will probably require you to fill it through their mail order pharmacy.

So you’re saying that 18,000 pages of documents reviewed for the Saints case (found on Wikipedia) is just as strong of evidence as two guys (who are not the person you want punished) casual texts back and forth? Where in the report does it say “Tom Brady ordered this done and here is the proof!” He’s not getting…

I think you might be confusing “sting operation” with “entrapment”.

No, it’s on the NFL to make sure that the game was played under the proper playing conditions. If they were tipped off beforehand and didn’t take all measures to make sure the balls were inflated in the first half, including noting the pre-game pressure of each ball (which they didn’t do, they tested them but…

I record in portrait mode out of spite.

I think the Colts have opened a Pandora’s box here. The odds are that the Patriots have been doing this for a long time. The odds are also that other teams have done similar things over the years and it was never something anyone cared about, because I also doubt that the Colts trainer and GM were the first (and only)…

Yes, and I don’t think so, as my responses to each of your comments. (More to the point, a Celtics fan, since I’m not a big football guy, but yes I root for the Pats.)

Is this a civil case? (Hint: the answer is “no.”) Now, if that were the standard required by some NFL rule, I could understand his choice.

Deflating because of the cold wouldn’t require leaking. Pump it up in a warm room, then take it outside, and the gas inside would decrease in volume, although probably not to this extent.

As much as I hate the Pats, they still won SB49 on the field with properly inflated footballs.

I’d say the rouge sound guy just needs to stay out of the sun.

The 243-page document can be found here.

Sure. (Although you could argue why it’s particularly important that the QBs have relatively similar PSIs in the first place; the rule could be that the team does whatever they feel works best for them.) I’ve just felt, since January, that

What I like about the report, so far as I can tell - and, full disclosure, I just cherry-picked my way through the table of contents finding the parts I would need to support this conclusion - the NFL just basically admitted that every coldweather game it has ever played has been played with equipment out of…

Just to be clear, they ran for three TDs which alone were more than what Indy scored. Also, I find “more probable than not” hard to buy as a definitive statement that they cheated.

I’m pretty sure the Super Bowl was played with appropriate footballs, and that the 45-7 game in the AFCCG wasn’t because of the inflation of the footballs.

your adorable.

McNally: Tom sucks...im going make that next ball a fuckin balloon
