(Oh...sure...and perhaps the football size is too "strigent" as well...Maybe a size smaller would not "hurt the game." Give not only the QBs more leeway, but the kickers, too...so that the Q's can add another dozen yards to their throwing prowess and the punters, too. And, hey, while we're at it...let's give Major League pitchers a lot more leeway as well. Stop tossing cut-up balls out of the game. Or, if a pitcher wants to use his son's T-ball rubber ball. Hey, why not? Just let them use their "preferences." "Too big a deal is being made" about a few inches of circumference or even the nature of the very skin of the ball).
There. That'll "fix it" for professional sports! Good recommends!
The NFL specifications say the footballs must be inflated to 12½ to 13½ pounds. Have you checked to see what the ball feels like if it is 10½ psi? Do you know how much temperature changes the psi?
How did the NFL decide that balls must be between 12½ to 13½ psi?
Maybe it does not matter a whole lot if the range were changed to 10½ to 13½ psi. Do you know?
Why take about other dimensions and sports when the subject is NFL specs for football inflation levels?
