  1. Ryan. We love the character and leadership "Coach Weddle" brings to the defense, but to call it a "Ray Lewis like effect" is insulting to the legacy/ legend of Ray Lewis. Ray Lewis is like that special piece mom kept in the dining room china closet. In 18 years I probably saw it used once or twice. Let's use the Ray Lewis comparison more sparingly. In fact, "Coach Weddle's" leadership and contribution to the 2016 Ravens stands on its own. Don't think you need to mention Ray.

    Did you know the book The Physics of Football was written in 2005 by Dr Gay Timothy. It discusses the game from a scientific perspective.

    It clearly states that a football is easier to grasp, throw, carry and catch if deflated slightly, " like the difference of gripping foam rubber vs gripping a bowling ball. Especially in cold weather."

    Do you know who actually wrote the forward for the book in 2005.

    Bill Belichick.

    Explain this New England*. This factoid, if pursued, could mean Belichick knew the benefits of deflation.

    2004... Patriots* were caught deflating footballs. Claimed it was a mistake. NFL issued a warning. ( Hadhazy wrote in a letter that the Patriots failed to provide a reasonable explanation for the incident and warned the team could face disciplinary action “if a similar incident occurred in the future because it could be interpreted as a competitive violation,” according to the report.) McNally was the individual caught.

    2005 ... Physics of Football is published. Belichick writes the forward for the book.

    2006, Brady* lobbies for the ability to prepare his own footballs.

    2015 Brady* and the Pats* are caught deflating footballs and diciplined by the NFL to the largest degree in the history of the sport.

    we call this a pattern.
