Tire Pressure

[Piloto]

For my M20J I inflate the mains to no more than 35 psi. More pressure will cause the plane to bounce on uneven runway. As I was inflating the tires it came to my mind the big issue made over football air pressure by the NFL against Tom Brady. I am not a football expert and could not figure out why it would make a difference. I only go to the games when my son invites me. But I only watch the cheerleaders. The only ball game that I played in college was soccer. And it was the same and only ball for both teams. How a deflated ball can make a difference for a team and not the other?

There are different set of game balls for each team. The allegations are that the Patriots doctored their game balls. The deflated balls are easier to grasp to throw and easier to hold onto when caught.

There is of course no difference at all. There are a lot of fans who are obviously jealous of New England. Go Pats.

Spoken like a real cheater! You see the Fox spoof on NE? Pretty funny.

Go Bills!

Tom Brady is the Anti-Christ and probably flies a Bonanza.  Go Blackhawks!!!

I blame the NFL. Why on earth would any organization turn over the control of a ball to either of the competitors. You don't see any baseball team, basketball team, tennis player, or any other ball sport competitor I'm aware of to bring their own ball(s).

Some guys have tried to deflate hockey pucks to get an advantage over here but did not have much success.

LOL! But wasn't there some conspiracy about an NHL game where the home team tried to give the visiting team unfrozen pucks during a shoot-out?

Where do they leave them?

I don't think the NFL will let me play. I have deflated balls.

Never had a problem with my balls being deflated. Probably like most of you old fa&ts, the problem is the bat.

It could have been worse. I could have mentioned them playing with their own ball(s).

Try the pump. Couple of strokes and you are ready to play.
