PRAISE BE TO JEEBUS!!!!!!!

A man living of a Super Bowl defeat a decade and a half ago. High up in the admin and super best pal of the media has always meant he got an easier run than most.

Cowboys fan but hope to see you guys replace him with someone decent as I don't mind the Rams and like to see them do well. :)

Fishers' agent is the father of Rams COO Kevin Demoff. There were rumours when he was first appointed that it was only because of his experience in moving a franchise.

Dodgy from the start.

Guess the league still doesn't check the balls correctly, no surprise there.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will not be disciplined by the NFL for footballs used during last Sunday's victory over the Giants. 

That is according to SI.com's Peter King, who addressed Jay Glazer's reports that the Giants had informed the league of two deflated footballs Pittsburgh used during their 24-14 win over New York in Week 13. King confirmed that, while the Giants did inform the NFL of two deflated footballs, New York did so with the intent of simply letting the league know that their way of checking game balls before games should be evaluated. 

"Bottom line: The league’s not going to do anything about the Steelers, obviously, with no physical evidence and only the Giants’ word about two footballs," King wrote in his weekly column, Monday Morning Quarterback. 

"The Giants alerted the league, but did not submit the footballs in question to the league office after the game, and did not make a formal complaint, as Glazer reported," King wrote. "I’m told the Giants basically said to the league office: We’re not charging anyone with anything. We just want you to know your procedures to get balls ready for play should be rechecked. Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reported Sunday night that the balls were gauged by the Giants at 11.4 and 11.8 PSI (the league’s allowable range of 12.5 to 13.5 psi)."

In a nutshell, while the Giants notified the league of two undersized footballs used by the Steelers last Sunday, New York doesn't think the Steelers did anything wrong, but that deflated balls were still used last week, and that the league needs to look into how they evaluate game balls prior to kickoff. 

And while the Steelers are reportedly out of harms way, King added that the Patriots have every right to be upset with the league after they endured a year of intense scrutiny for their Deflategate situation that occurred following the 2014 AFC Championship Game.
