Alright, I understood. As I said, what bothers me is that he claimed not to notice. He would have noticed something's off, maybe not that it's 10.5 vs 11.5 vs 12.5, but certainly that something had to be off. You know, if he had just said "Hey, it felt softer but I didn't have time to worry...

Balls were corrected at halftime.

I don't think he's thinking about the pressure of the ball specifically, but he would notice something's off. If, as you say, all a QB does is hold the ball for one or two seconds, then why does Tom Brady like his ball a certain way? Why does every QB in the NFL request special customizations...

Any of us maybe not, but if you take a 25psi tire to a tire garage, I bet the guy working there can tell. What a lot of this has come down to, for me, is that someone with the familiarity of a football like Brady, as an elite veteran NFL QB who has played football for many years and handles...

I knew this would end up sparking a debate! :shrug: I like that your league put it to a vote and passed it as just something you shouldn't do. Most owners agree. Overall that's really I want.. I prefer to just not have a penalty and say let's just not do that. Thanks for all the input...

I have a bunch of negative scorings, particularly for defense where you can go low as -10 if you have really bad defense. I've done it this way to make sure people aren't just doing grabbing any random defense and actually being smart about who they pick up and use. It should be a...

You're right.. that's why I've started this thread. To find out if people have ways to prevent it and see if those ways could work in my league. I've actually already implemented a penalty. We have weekly pots (highest score wins money) -- you can't win the pot if you field an incomplete...

Personally, I can't stand it but as commish I'm not sure how to enforce it without giving myself a whole bunch of added work. In my league, in the semi-finals, a team was up by 1 point and had Mark Ingram playing on Monday night. He opted to bench Ingram in fear of a negative score (we have -3...

I tried to get West but someone outbid me on him so I ended up with my 3rd choice Crowell (Forsett was my #1 choice). I've read that Crowell is the more talented back, but teams tend to want to give their draft choices the ball first. So unless West falters Crowell will probably be getting...

I own both MJD and Steven Jackson in one league. I benched MJD in favor of CJohnson last week and it totally paid off. FBG's cheatsheet ranking showed Steven Jackson in the top 10 amongst RBs for two straight weeks, so I really can't not start him, although I probably would've rolled the dice...
