Ball inflation is not a way to cheat. Do you want some evidence that it was seen as insignificant?
Phil Simms told Jim Nantz during the broadcast of a game that Aaron Rodgers told him that he likes to try to sneak in an over inflated ball. It was told as a funny little blip between plays.
If it mattered, would Rodgers admit it to a member of the press?
If it mattered, would Phil Simms, a former QB, talk about it so freely during a broadcast as if it were no big deal?
uhhhhh... no.
When I over inflate my car tires am I breaking the law?
