What are we looking at? (I can't read the names)

Or is it just some sort of social comment that american football has become a failure?

I think I see "Albert Hainsworth," and "Dionne Sanders." Maybe not.

I wonder if they inflated them to regulation in a very hot room, so when they were taken out in the cold they dropped psi...

is there a spec psi that should b used? if not, then it's grasping... also, wouldn't under inflation give worse aero? any ball boy w a toothpick could deflate the ball in the process of handing it over

I'm sure that if only the ball had 2 more psi the colts would've totally scored 50pts

per a google. The NFL has set specific weight and air pressure standards for the balls used in the game. The ball must be inflated between 12.5 to 13.5 pounds per square inch (psi) and must weigh 14 to 15 oz.

Agree that the deflated balls wouldn't have changed the outcome. So does this writer: http://nypost.com/2015/01/19/why-its...the-footballs/

Apparently, there are some very specific rules regarding the footballs. And deflated footballs would have been an advantage in the wet.
