    In the wake of "Deflategate" Big Game USA (a leading maker of footballs used at the college level) is developing a ball with a built-in pressure gauge.

    Wonder if the league will still pretend that air pressure really matters..

    Not a terrible idea. Theyre planning to really bank on this if the NFL will bite.

    Or the NFL could actually check the air pressure before the game like they're supposed to. I'm convinced they never did or never cared about air pressure until the deflategate bs.

    I think each QB should either A.) play with the same ball, or B.) be allowed any ball of their choosing.

    The NFL loves scoring, why is this an issue if it helps teams score?

    I wish theyd man up and tell the public whats really good, and they just dont give a crap..

    Because they know it doesn't actually help scoring. This whole scandle just got blew out of proportion from the beginning and the NFL had to play the hero with the punishment since they've botched the real issues so many times lately.

    I agree though. Why not just make everyone play with the same balls and have employees of the NFL oversee them at all times?

    Or the alternative is stop pretending a few psi let out of a ball turns a whole team in to super heroes and let the QB have the ball at whatever level is comfortable to them.. Just like you let them scuff etc to their comfort level. Same thing IMO.

    1 ball period. Use it for everything.

    Maybe during half-time, if the pressure in the ball drops reset it to the neutral air pressure. or back up football

    Have back-ups in case of emergency thats only handled by the professional balls handler ( @JCBRAVE )
