I came across a website yesterday documenting how all the NFL teams cheat regularly, so those that somehow still have hard feelings against the Patriots can stop feeling "holier than thou" about inflation gate. The one I noticed? Aaron Rodgers regularly OVER INFLATES the balls before every game and hopes the refs don't check as closely as they should. It's an interesting website:

Speaking of which, the leagues has established new guidelines on the proper handing of the balls now. I've always said since the beginning of this under inflated "scandal", that's ALL they really should have done in the first place. It would have saved them the embarrassment of "convicting" without evidence:

Oh, and even with the new rules in place, Brady threw for for four touchdowns last night as the Patriots dumped the Steelers in the season opener. It's not the ball and the lack of air in it that matters. It's the man throwing the thing.
And even though the league insists that they had NOTHING to do with the suspending of the two Patriot equipment guys, they still haven't given their approval to removing their suspensions. The Patriots say they want them back. The league is considering it. Sure sounds like it's the league determining their suspensions to me...
I'm just glad football is back. The Vikings don't play until late Monday night with the double-header games for Monday Night football. I'll probably watch a quarter before going to bed.
