First off the special teams coordinator from the Baltimore Ravens called Coach Pagano and said that they had issues last week at the ‘game that when they were kicking (Baltimore that is) they were given new footballs instead of the ones that ‘were prepared correctly. We would like to use the footballs that | will break in (Balls , 4 and 6) so that we know that we are getting nothing that has been tampered with. As far as the gameballs are concerned itis well known around the league that after the Patriots gameballs are checked by the officials and brought out for game usage the ballboys for the patriots will let out some air with a ball needle because their ‘quarterback likes a smaller football so he can grip it better, it would be great if someone would be able to ‘check the air in the game balls as the game goes on so that they don’t get an illegal advantage. Thank you for your time. Sean NFLPA_BRADY003216
