All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
The #DeflateGate saga continues to percolate in the court system, and it continues to influence the rule book.
Rule 2, Section 2 quietly has been revised to alter the pregame procedures regarding the submission of footballs for PSI testing. Previously, each team was required to make 12 balls available for pregame testing two hours and 15 minutes before kickoff. The home team also was required to make 12 backup balls available for testing in all stadiums, and the visiting teams was permitted to bring 12 balls for pregame testing at game played in outdoor stadiums only.
Well they are supposed to be given to the refs 2 and half hours before the game. Plenty of time for the Pats to find a way to get them footballs and deflate them to Tammy's desired PSI.

That's true, they've had a system installed for years doing just that.
All because the loser QBs today need to get their "feel" on the ball. Back in the day, they slaughtered a pig for breakfast, ate some fatback, and used its hide to make a single ball, hand-sewn by the waterboy. Then Otto Graham would throw seven touchdowns.

I said "falsely accused/convicted" but there's really no final say on that. Also, he was never a fugitive and served ten years. Shortly after he was convicted, his mother committed suicide. His father died days later of cancer.
A few years before his conviction was overturned (represented by F. Lee Bailey), his father-in-law committed suicide. Days after being released, he married the sister-in-law of Josef Goebbels. They divorced five years later.
He married his third wife in 1969 and she convinced him to get into professional wrestling as "Killer" Sam Sheppard. He became a chronic alcoholic and die a year later at age 46.
