Every major college team manipulates the footballs as does all 32 NFL teams. Its an unwrittten part of the game. Aaron Rogers came out and said how he overinflates the game balls and hopes he doesn't get caught. Eli Manning has the game balls manipulated for months before they put them into service. Does this make it right? No. Should there be a punishment? Yes. But the balls should be controlled by the NFL up until kick off. The system is flawed.
I doubt most NFL players could tell the difference between 13.5 psi and 11.5 psi. This whole thing is being blown out of proportion and the Pats are victims of their decade plus stretch of success.
