Deflated

1-Evidence indicates the majority of footballs used in the Patriot Vs Colt game last Sunday, were under inflated by at least 2 psig. How could that be? Who checks the footballs for air pressure? The footballs are recycled after every play on the field. Not sure what the barometric pressure/ air temperature was at game time or the variance during the four hour show, but that could be a caused by mother nature and not the Patroits management. The kickers also pound the shit out of the balls on kick offs, field goals and extra points. 2-The tires on my Jeep, including the spare tire, are super senative to barometric and anbient air temps changes. I carry at battery operated air compressor in the trunk, to counter the idiot light flashing signal and a read out of tire pressure (except the spare tire which is almost impossible to reach, so the idiot light keeps blinking until the weather warms up or the vechicle is serviced.) 3-I suppose the ball boy could have an air compressor around his neck with a wagon toting behind holding a new tech energy maker...say a wind mill with safety cage or solar panels also protected to prevent injury to near-by football player, coaches and fans running out on the field. Those energy makers are also effected by mother nature. The wind has to be blowing and/or the sun has to be shinning for them to work. A lithium ion battery pack perhaps would facilitate the energy source? Lithium ion type battery would of choice against extreme low air ambient air temp in say Green Bay. Now there are issues with Lithium ion batteries also, as they tend to catch fire when something crashes into them, like a 350# line backer. 4-I suppose if the rules committee were to set a new standard for football inflation rate, what variance is acceptable? Also the balls have to checked periodically during game or maybe the head coaches would carry another flag say "blue" (OSHA standard color for air), they could call time, so balls for could be checked pressure, like the red challenge flag they now carry, but that carried a penalty. 5-I bet you thought I was going to speak to pp's SOTU Address of last evening? Sorry for the old chap, blowing in the breese, talked for an hour and left me with this message. He is going to veto everything that comes to desk, give the radical Muslim terrorist what ever they want, and give to middle class Ammericans a lot of free stuff.
