Why do they need a little pink ribbon on the ball which nobody can see?

All this pink bullshit is to try to get women interested in football. It's F'n stupid. Like guys who try to act all sensitive, because they think that's what a woman wants to hear. Excruciating.

I had the same question. My guess is that after using them they are going to raffle them off for charity.

Hard to believe that a little logo would affect a player's grip on the ball, but athletes who play at a high level can be very sensitive to such things. Remember the NBA players a few years ago when they switched to a synthetic ball.

I don't see anybody using this ball as an excuse. Rather, it is just a possible explanation for some turnovers. What I haven't heard is whether there has actually been an increase in turnovers since these balls were put into play. If not, then we have nothing to talk about.

As if women were really that shallow.

Of course, we're talking about a business that thinks fans want to see 2 or 3 stooges in a "booth conversation" several times a game more than the game itself. Oh, those dastardly bullies beating on others when we could listen to The Dorks yammer on at the top of their lungs. Who wouldn't want to see more booth shots.

+1 to K-Buz and nerdmann.

Jeez guys, it's just a charity thing. Nothing to get so cynical about. The way you guys talk, you'd think it was all a big scheme for Roger Goodell to get some woman in the sack.

The way I'm reading this is that the problem isn't the logo, its the balls themselves are slippery.

But I still don't see why they need to alter the most important piece of equipment on the field.

I read an excellent suggestion that perhaps the drops can be attributed to the presence of SS Laron Landry, and the players being wary of getting hammered by him.

That, at least, is a much more plausible theory than footballs being too slick.

I don't remember any Packer saying the drops were related to the ball at all. I'm not sure where that implication is coming from.

Driver took ownership of his four. The other three drops I'm sure those players will admit it was a lack of focus, still.

One thing about going over the middle, you will get hit, regardless if you catch it or not. Players know that and you can tell too. Alligator arms!!! lol

Yeah right. Its marketing 101. If they start sporting a blue ribbon for prostate cancer I may change my mind.

Mucky Tundra (12h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
TheKanataThrilla (12h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (13h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (13h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (13h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB
Mucky Tundra (13h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?
Zero2Cool (13h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting
TheKanataThrilla (13h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings
TheKanataThrilla (13h) : Great throw by Hurts
Mucky Tundra (13h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)
Mucky Tundra (13h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez
Mucky Tundra (13h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away
Mucky Tundra (13h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
beast (13h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (13h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (13h) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (13h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (13h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (13h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (13h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (13h) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (13h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (13h) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (13h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (13h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (14h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (14h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (14h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (14h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (14h) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (14h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
Mucky Tundra (14h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire
Martha Careful (14h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs
Mucky Tundra (14h) : this game is over
Mucky Tundra (14h) : This might be the kill shot here
Mucky Tundra (14h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop
TheKanataThrilla (14h) : Philly DL has come to play
TheKanataThrilla (14h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night
Mucky Tundra (14h) : ok scratch that
Mucky Tundra (15h) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it
